    What about filter tuning for these small quads first? No blackbox and before IPD? I like the FFT trick that helps a bit. The 2"-3" format is awesome with naked gopros or insta360's. Tricky to tune, no blackbox and usually a wacky center of gravity.

      Without RPM, i would just set max with FFT OSD element. With RPM, i would just setup with DN range from 130 to 350 and let RPM do the rest. Sliders I would start at 1.5. Tune it and then after mostly tuned, see if you can get away with moving Gyro slider up to 2.0 or just turn off the gyro lowpasses altogether.

      I think they perfectly reinforce how the P and D gain are a balance and how when you move up or down gains, you need to do together. Folks don't understand that very we, or at all.
      Maybe an added slider for Pitch vs. Roll gain, but at some point, it gets too complicated.

Having a default for whoop, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 inch etc might be a better route to go down but keeping a X default so that people can adjust for the different motor layouts. The point you made about the max fft is kinda old news for me but many people probably haven't picked that up yet... i suppose it's good ground to continue the videos like this one but i think that betaflight really need to start considering these things or people are just going to go elsewhere when there toothpicks etc dont work properly...

      The point is to have the highest gain strength you can before getting oscillation. The highest P-gain strength as well, in relation to D-gain without overshooting. It's just PIDs 101 for tuning. In our specific case, we have to keep in mind P and D BOTH push in the same direction to combat prop wash, so you want them to be good and strong for fast and strong reaction to wash.

      You are correct. It will raise with wash too, technically, but it is delayed since it FIRST has to detect the wash in the gyro signal. Best to have up near limit to start. Then it adds further dampening during wash or helps to control overshoot in sharp stick moves.

      Oh yeah buddy. It's and industry term. :-)

    I'm surprised you needed that much P term. I would have expected a 3S toothpick to have lots of authority...must be heavy. Would have been nice to see if thrust linearization helped.

    Any news from devs regarding betaflight on the google app store? As i as many have a corporate phone and are not allowed to install apk files on them.
