This needs to be larger for less responsive airframes. The default of 30 is very conservative, and for most RC aircraft will lead to slow and lazy turns. For smaller more agile aircraft a value closer to 20 is appropriate. When tuning, change this value in small increments, as a value that is much too small (say 5 or 10 below the right value) can lead to very radical turns, and a risk of stalling. // @Units: seconds // @Range: 1-60 // @Increment: 1 AP_GROUPINFO("PERIOD", 0, AP_L1_Control, _L1_period, 25), // @Param: DAMPING // @DisplayName: L1 control damping ratio // @Description: Damping ratio for L1 control.
