Yes.

I will try to pull a log off the copter.  If it is unplugged will it keep a log for awhile?

Yea it is covered.  I am really hoping that sometime this week it will not be so windy and I can do just a test.

Bradley: 2.5.3 was released on Friday night. If you hadn't loaded the code since then, you were running 2.5. You can always tell by going to the CLI, which will report the code version number.

Ok. Without a log it is tough to say, but I know that the baro on the APM1 is inaccurate in windy conditions if it is not covered.

APM1

Baro Sensor

Sonar Senor

The last verison I have on the mission planner is 2.5.3

It was windy,

Bradley: This may seem like a silly question, but what was the weather like? The revision number is important too. Are you flying with sonar or just the barometric pressure sensor? Is your board the APM1 or APM2? If you run into these kinds of issues, posting a log with the above information is really helpful because we can see exactly where your flight went wrong.

I need to check.  All it said was 2.5.  I will make sure though.  I am not sure there was anything wrong.  I think it was a combination of wind and me not really knowing the controls yet.  But I will make sure.

Bradley: Are you using 2.5.3?

Hello all,

After all the problems that I had getting the motors and ESC's working correctly.  We had some good weather to fly and I took the 3DR out for its first flight. 

Flight. 1.  Out in the front yard I had it hoovering in front of me and switched it to alt_hold.  I thought it was working. But I think i actually tried to keep if from dipping my self and ended up throwing it way out of wack and hit a telephone pole.  Thank god I got the props shut down for the pole and it only broke two props and landed in the evergreen tree.  (Soft Landing)

Flight 2.  Changed props and went back out.  Hoovered around for awhile and then switched to loiter.  Worked good for about ten seconds and then started drifting alot.  So I landed and didn't try anymore since the wind was gusting pretty hard.

So now I am waiting for a calm day that way I can make sure everything works. When I adjust Rate_P for the 880 motors.  I hope i made proper adjustments in the MP for this.  I changed the Rate_Roll- Rate_Pitch and the other I can't think of off the top of my head.
