Ardupilot nosedive

Hi there

After having quite a few successful flights with the Ardupilot i decided to go a bit further away. When the plane got the first waypoint (i had lost the telemetry link) it nose dived straight into the ground but some how it corrected itself and it flew back without any problems all previous flights I have had no problem. My setup is the APM 1.4 2650 with Arduplane v2.32 as far as i know i set the waypoints properly will post a video on youtube soon.

Hi Chris
No I haven't, I was just an observation, I don't see it as an issue, just something people need to be aware of. At the time it seemed I was the only person experiencing it.

So it is because that waypoint is below my home location? If i change the default alt will it be fine then?

sorry for the late reply, Im pretty sure it would. However, I prefer to have the last waypoint on the default altitude.
