I spooled up the 550 and took to the air this afternoon. The hexa flew very nicely and was pretty stable on the settings that I entered in the autopilot. My settings aew as follws:
Pitch=110
Roll=110
Yaw=110
Vertical=110
Att. mode:
Roll=80
Pitch=80
25C 3S 2200 Mah (Could use a bigger battery)
Wind was blowing some I could see it on the hexa, but it still flew great. Maybe on a still day it would probalbly be very solid. All the controls reacted very nicely.
So as of right now I'm a very happy camper and thanks to everyone who gave me their advice.

Thanks again
Chalagi

P.S. I might do some fine tuning on a very still day

The F550 came prebuilt and test flown and I am wondering with the ATT and Man mode is set to the 3-way switch that normally is used in helicopters for the idle mode normal, idle 1 and idle 2. Low position switch is ATT, middle position switch is failsafe, top position switch is man. Gear switch is not used. And he is using the Aux 2 conector
