The parameters that are needed for most airframes are:

:ref:`NAVL1_PERIOD<NAVL1_PERIOD>`: This defaults to 25, which is a very conservative value
:ref:`NAVL1_PERIOD<NAVL1_PERIOD>`: This default is a very conservative value
designed to cope with badly tuned airframes. It controls how sharply the
aircraft will turn in automatic modes (such as AUTO, RTL and LOITER).
Most aircraft should use a significantly lower value. Once you have
completed a successful autotune of roll and pitch values you should drop
:ref:`NAVL1_PERIOD<NAVL1_PERIOD>` to 18 if you have not tuned it yet. To tune beyond that
level you should fly a rectangular mission in AUTO mode and adjust

To tune it,
you should fly a rectangular mission in AUTO mode and adjust
:ref:`NAVL1_PERIOD<NAVL1_PERIOD>` down by 1 at a time until the aircraft turns at a rate you
are happy with, and does not "wag its tail" in flight.
