I have the following Setup:
-Spirit Pro 3.2.2
-Geolink 1.2.1
-XLPower 550
-Stabi = Coaxial mode
-Dedicated channel (position hold, altitude hold)
-Horizontal gain 50%, Vertical gain 50%

When engaging position hold, the helicopter will hold the position really nice, even in mild wind, it will maintain position. But when trying to move the helicopter and after a while of flying, then release sticks, it will hold again as expected, but it won´t move again easily, even with full 100% forward elevator stick it may just hold and wont move (or move super, super slow) this is not consistent, usually the helicopter will fly smoothly but after releasing sticks and hold position, it won´t move again.

Please adivise, this setup is to teach new pilots, but seems unreliable for now.
Note: coaxial mode works fine on its own, the described behavior will be the same even with stabi mode OFF

No answer, I am waiting for Spirit to reply.
I already calibrated the compass, same issue.
it seems that the geolink wants to maintain the position, and will ignore even a full stick forward.

Hello,

you can try to increase Rotation Rate for Position Hold function. This should make it to fly faster.

Just for my understanding, where do i find the parameter rotation rate for position hold? I only found horiontal gain.
