when in auto

making auto pretty much useless unless its a desert under me
pretty sure that's not how auto should work

when I define a bottom in settings
its ok and works normal

when I first got it
auto worked correctly
and after a few trips started to get worse

I hated the stock base and ram mount setup
so fabricated an alum backplate with spacer standoffs
and mounted a stock ram to that
works great

Looks like it lines up on the old Eagle/Pirahana mount, hangs over a bit, but works!
