Fixing Trad Heli Ext ESC Controller
...
-Added ramp-down rate instead of instantly setting ramp to zero when throttle is dropped to bottom. This is to allow "warm-restart" if shutdown was unintentional.
-Actual ESC still goes to zero while throttle is dropped to the bottom, only the ramp counter winds down slowly behind the scenes.

Instituting Yaw Differential on Multirotors. Intent is to stop "rise on yaw input".

Since motors with increasing speed due to yaw input seem to generate more thrust that motors that slow lose thrust, thus net thrust goes up, causing copter to climb.
Values are a guesstimate, proven out by test flying. This could probably become a parameter.
