Hello All,
I have been flying a custom built tricopter for the past year now with the Ardupilot 2.6 framework, and it flies wonderfully except for one thing that I've never been really able to iron out, and that is the yaw. The Servo/motor combination is perfectly centered, yet when I start flying in stabilize mode the servo immediately starts to tilt just ever so slightly to the left (assuming I'm standing behind the tricopter), and without constant adjustment it goes into a slow, lazy spin. The problem is, is that when I try to use an autopilot mode such as RTL or land, it starts to slowly spin out of control of the autopilot. I've been flying without any "failsafe" modes for a while but a recent FPV crash showed me that I NEED to have some sort of backup, but this yaw problem has to be solved first. I came on this forum to ask if there was some sort of yaw/ stabilize mode "deadzone" where I could tell the servo to stay centered and ignore what is probably a slight error in the gyros, or any other more effective way to solve this problem.
Thank you all very much!
