Marco, do you have an explanation for the strange behaviour in the logs I posted earlier?

Maybe I have missed something. But I have had 2.7.1 uploaded to my quad since it was released, and it works flawless for me in Stab,loiter, alt hold and auto. I very pleased with it. Well done !

Maybe it's something to do with airframe or motor Kv or ESC used.

OK, who else gets a constant small twitch or wobble in Loiter?

Hey guys, here's my little bit of contribution which I hope will help the developers and users solve some of the issues I've run into.  My hexa had been grounded ever since the 2.7.1 update but I found a solution.

I am flying an ArduPilot Mega V1.4 with the Rev H v1.0 IMU

I do not remember which firmware version I was on prior to the update.  The update resulted in 4 props spinning instead of all 6.  I noticed that output channels 7 & 8 were no longer logging any signal.  I was just getting a 0 value on both.  However output channels 5 & 6 were now responding to throttle input...which was weird.  So I connected the two none working motors to channels 5 & 6 but this resulted in problems with the ESCs not recognizing the signal properly and giving me error beeps (despite recalibrating them individually).

I ended up reloading older firmware versions until it worked.  The newest version which brought everything back to normal was version 2.5.3.  Since some people are having success with the latest version, I'm guessing that changes in firmware versions beyond 2.5.3 must have some incompatibility issues with certain APM hardware configurations.  In any case I hope that this will help track down what changed beyond 2.5.3

A very pleasant and stable flight shame that the four charged batteries no longer as before. will not know if the bat or more before consuming 2.7 lasted seven minutes each, now only 3, I test the many exhausted.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2Y08V3yk3s&feature=player_embedded
