In PH have you see any improve with this FW ?

After 5 sec with close throttle it disarm.....
this is from ICAN rcg - 5 seconds disarms is designed for the safe: it happened due to 2 conditions:throttle low to min ,and height <=20cm
if you are flying it will not be disarmed.

Position hold did still wander a little although there was a breeze, and it would probably have done circles with the last firmware, I haven't tried altering the new Gps settings yet but, I have a good feeling about this firmware.
I clicked loads of items in the Gui to see if it would crash and it didn't, previous versions would always crash when selecting options to quickly 
I will test the Gps settings some time but at the moment the weather isnt to good and I don't get the time

Hello There

Just a quick note to say that I think that there  is a GPS formatting error in the new V1.218 GUI. See attachement.

Thanks for posting Tabsha mine is the same but the gps seemed to work when I test flew it

Looking further into this, I ran Jack'ed Rabbit GUI and it too shows many errors  in the GPS data. This would point to a possible error in the data decoding since both GUI's are showing similar errors.

Thanks

I tried my Jack'ed Rabbit GUI this morning and although it connects and shows the version number that's about all it does, there's nothing showing in the GPS display, I loaded the love flight GUI and although it is corrupted in the latitude box it some times flashes the correct information through,
I hope they fix it quickly

This firmware has now been replaced and the current version is V1.220 there is still a bug in the GUI with the longitude reading but it flies very well 
There is a thread for the new v1.220 firmware here
