Send rate for sending cmd_vel or SET_POSITION_TARGET_LOCAL_NED

Hii all.
I am using mavros to send cmd_vel or SET_POSITION_TARGET_LOCAL_NED to the drone. What is the correct send rate in Hz do I need to send these commands to the drone?

Thank in advance.

Arducopter 4.0.5
Mavros latest
Jetson tx2

Mode GUIDED has had many, many improvements in ArduCopter 4.1.3. Anything between 5 and 10Hz should be fine

Hi thanks for the tip.
What kind of changes? I read the release notes. Did see anything specific.

For the details you will have to dig in the git log for PR`s from lthall.

For sending cmd_vel commands /mavros/setpoint_velocity/cmd_vel’ is the topic for ArduRover right?
