  37 # Important Notes
  38
  39 ## Config wipe mitigation
  40
  41 INAV 5.1 lowers the probablity of a full config wipe on reboot. Bear in mind, technically it's not a bug. When FC is disconnected during EEPROM write, checksum will not updated and INAV will erase flash on next boot as a safety measure. To prevent this from happening, always wait until INAV fully reboots before disconnecting the flight controller.
  42
  43 ## Mamba H743 and ZEEZF7 V2 external flash
  44
  45 INAV 5.1 supports 128Mbit W25N01G flash memory that can be found on Mamba H743 and ZEEZF7 V2.
  46
  47 ## Horizon Drift mitigation
  48
  49 To improve AHI drift on fixed wings, apply following settings via CLI:
  50
  51 ### For airplanes without a tail (wings, delta, etc)
  52 ```
  53 set imu_acc_ignore_rate = 9
  54 set imu_acc_ignore_slope = 5
  55 set nav_fw_pos_z_p = 35
  56 set nav_fw_pos_z_i = 5
  57 set nav_fw_pos_z_d = 10
  58 set nav_fw_pos_xy_p = 70
  59 set imu_dcm_kp = 1000
  60 set imu_dcm_ki = 0
  61 ```
  62
  63 ### For airplanes with a tail (dedicated elevator)
  64 ```
  65 set imu_acc_ignore_rate = 7
  66 set imu_acc_ignore_slope = 4
  67 set nav_fw_pos_z_p = 25
  68 set nav_fw_pos_z_i = 5
  69 set nav_fw_pos_z_d = 7
  70 set nav_fw_pos_xy_p = 55
  71 set imu_dcm_kp = 1000
  72 set imu_dcm_ki = 0
  73 ```
