Pull request overview

Updates the Holybro X500 ArduCopter 4.6.3 vehicle template with refreshed metadata, configuration, calibration, filtering, and tuning results.

Changes:

• Updates firmware, RC, sensor, safety, and board configuration.
• Refreshes logging, ESC, OSD, GNSS, and controller parameters.
• Adds updated calibration, autotune, quick-tune, and tuning-report data.

Unresolved moderate findings remain in the tuning report: angle gains appear before they are applied, and ATC_RAT_YAW_FLTE=2.090602 is missing from the step-30 column.

ardupilot_methodic_configurator/vehicle_templates/ArduCopter/Holybro_X500/30_quick_tune_results.param:15

• This new quick-tune value is not reflected at the 30_quick_tune_results.param column in tuning_report.csv: ATC_RAT_YAW_FLTE remains forward-filled as 2.0 until the later 40_autotune_yaw_results.param column. The tuning report therefore shows the wrong value for the quick-tune step; add 2.090602 to that row's 30-column (and keep the later columns consistent).

ATC_RAT_YAW_FLTE,2.090602

ardupilot_methodic_configurator/vehicle_templates/ArduCopter/Holybro_X500/tuning_report.csv:1

• The new 30_quick_tune_results.param sets ATC_RAT_YAW_FLTE to 2.090602, but this report row leaves the new step-30 column empty and only records that value at step 40. Because the report loader forward-fills empty cells, the tuning graph shows 2.0 through Quick Tune instead of the value actually applied at that step; populate the step-30 cell as well.
