Hi,

when experimenting with RAPTOR in RotorPy I noticed some weird behavior that looks like integrator overshooting. This looks plausible because tau_m=0.005 (for the Crazyflie), while the simulation frequency seems to be 100 Hz in most examples. I think the best fix is to give the Crazyflie a more realistic tau_m=0.072. The value is based on our results in Data-Driven System Identification of Quadrotors Subject to Motor Delays and also plausible when checking Bitcraze's plots.

Best regards!
Jonas
