Any RC experts out there have any ideas as to what might be going on? It works just fine when I hook it up to a servo tester.
I would say take baby steps. Dialing down the feedback control will need a thorough rework should you change your motor, compressor or ESC.

I would recommend running the system in open loop (pretty much like Phantom), see what range of boost you are working with, and then try to may be optimize it in a closed loop. Your thoughts ?

Any news from the tuning front? I would say Shiv's tuning tables from the Phantom setup could be a good starting point.
