i have an even worse siutation... i cant even do a lift off.... my y6 stays on the ground even at full trottle.  dont know where the problem is.

its seems all people are  doing a quadrocopter....  i did a y6 because i taught it would have better carry load capacity and more redundancy...

I have a y6 also, I am testing the APM2.0 on my homebuilt tricopter first before I use it on the y6. What was the procedure you used to set up your y6? I have only had the APM2.0 for two days, but perhaps I can help?

Good luck.. I am sure it will fly now the bottom props are the right way around.

Hi Dean

I tested the y6.  I cant get a proper vertical lift off.   it lifts but it starts moving to the left once it is around one inch off the ground.  do you have an idea where the problem lies....

Please

Have you done level calibration in mission planner? this can sometimes happen if the copter thinks it is level when it is not?

My first tricopter had a KK board and now I try to mount the APM2, but can't find the option where I set two motors cw and one ccw, in the manual it says it's optional with no modification to the code, but can't find it in MP. Anyone around to help ? or are you flying it using the same direction for all props

It's the wiring to the motors that sets which direction they turn.  Whichever way they turned with the KK, they'll turn the same way with the APM2.

The same APM code will work for either setup - all CCW props or CW/CCW at the front.  The only difference will be that, in the all-CCW configuration, the tail will be tilted at a slight angle to counter the rotation of the front props.
