I have pi 3, pixhawk 2.4.8. I built basic drone, configured pixhawk. Now, My issue is, for stable flight, how to configure pixhawk for autotuning using qgroundcontrol? or how to use tuning feature of QGC for stability of drone. currently when I fly drone, it is not stable. It is behaving differently. Thanks. Any suggestion or any help would be appreciable. Please guide me such that atleast I can hover drone with stability. @LorenzMeier ---

Hi, there is no Autotuning Function in PX4 Stack. Most probably you are refering to ArduCopter Stack, please have a look in the ArduCopter Documentation. Otherwise you have to perform a manual PID Tuning. ---

Thanks for quick response. Yes, There is no autotuning function in px4 stack. So Can you guide on how to manually perform PID tuning on pixhawk? Or any other way possible? @Andreas_Hoffmann ---

There was a post on this too a few weeks back , it has the only PX4 Documentation on tuning ,as the post states its a bit old. > [@How to autotune the PID params](http://discuss.px4.io/t/how-to-autotune-the-pid-params/3395): > > Dear all, We have a customed airframe, and we want to tune the PIDs. Currently, the frame is extremely twichy in both roll and pitch directions. As I recall, the old version of QGC has the autotune of PIDs, but for now I cannot find it. Could anyone advise me how to tune the PIDs? Thanks ---

maybe [this](https://docs.px4.io/en/advanced_config/pid_tuning_guide_multicopter.html) could help, although I find it pretty useless since I could never accomplish this tuning guide… But the instructions are right and should do the job
