Can you post your radio configuration settings? (what the MP reports when you do the radio config). Sounds like you're outputting some funky rudder stick values.

Connect to the apm in cli mode.

go to test, then type radio.

Numbers should start flowing.

Move yaw stick all the way from left to right and back.

The number in the 4th column should change from -4500 to 4500.  If it doesn't your radio is not configured or calibrated right.

Jeff: those are indeed very funky values. Most transmitters will output ~1000  to ~2000 in setup. Do you have yours in some weird mode? It shouldn't be in any heli mode, and you can turn expo off. Obviously you don't want any mixing, either. 

 

If you can get your TX back to its defaults I think you'll be fine.

I'm not sure what was causing it put i ran the radio test and played with the end points untill i got -4500 and 4500 (ended up being at the exact same points I started with? )

now I can arm and disarm...
