Hot Topic video on Notch and FFT filters required to help dumplings

Hello the lovely developers here,recently ive notices a greater interest in both small 250g planes and copter’s which is awesome for ArduPilot,as we are all aware of tuning these smaller craft is more difficult,maybe a video tutorial on how to do this with a special part about notch filters.

Good idea! On my sub 250 3 "arducopter I followed the wiki, in particular:

  1. plugin for initial configuration
  2. 3-axis autotune
  3. notch filter setting as per wiki.

That’s all. Obviously the quad must be well assembled mechanically without excessive vibrations

Correct.
Actually I used autotune several times even after notch filter, however it was already flying well. Point 1 is the fundamental one

Indeed. Without setting the Rate and Gyro filters for a small quad it won’t fly.
