"Hi Alan,
Thanks for the reply. I Here are my logs comparing ATT Despitch and pitch. They seem to line up nicely. My Radio is calibrated (the trim is zero'd out and I did a stick calibration....)"

Hi! I posted about this once before, but I am still having the same problem where my Iris+ drifts in loiter. It is ONLY moving backwards. If i rotate the quadcopter, it keeps trying to go backwards. I have reflashed everything, calibrated the…
"Hi Nathaniel,
It was pretty windy, which would make sense. I might try:

to increase thrust. I don't want to change to 4s batteries and risk my warranty.

"Hi Michael,
Do you know if there's a way to make it so if during a mission it sees itself losing altitude, it will lower the speed?
I do love using the Iris+! Telemetry to my android phone is amazing as well!"

"Correct me if I'm wrong with this, but here's my logic as to potentially why it was flying so low:
When I'm flying straight up, with no forward/reverse velocity 100% of the available power is going towards holding or increasing the altitude.
When…"

"Hi Stu,
Yes I did recalibrate following this video:

I also recalibrated the compass, accelerometer, and the remote as well."

"No, not at all. You can build it right on their site. They only use that size motor/propellor setup from what I know..."

It is interesting that it states here what you mentioned regarding DAlt not holding if it is unable to... I just don't know why it couldn't hold the altitude. Too much speed?"

"The only attachment I have is the Tarot 2D gimbal and a GoPro hero 3 camera. That is all I have on the Iris+."
"Hi Nathaniel,
Attached is the log from the controller itself. I tried to plot it on google earth but wasn't able to.
I had the altitude set to hold at each waypoint at 200m, but it kept losing altitude.
Could part of the problem be the 8c is not…"

"They are brand new batteries, only a few weeks old. I have not measured resistance....I do not know how to..."
"I am using the stock 3dr batteries. They are 8C batteries. They are light for the 5100mah compared to others I found online.
I understand what you're saying about maxing out the thrust, but when I put it in loiter i was able to increase the…"

"Well I always fully charge the battery using a balance charger to 4.2v per cell. I wont fly unless its fully charged. But I will change the failsafe mah value to 1250mah.
Does the pixhawk track the mah used? My remote has telemetry built in and…"

"You are completely correct I will be sure to keep it lower from now on. I appreciate your feedback."
"Hi Nathaniel. I just realized I uploaded the wrong log. The log you viewed was an actual crash I had at a small field near me. I did make a rookie mistake and was using my transmitter mah used to determine when to land. But the problem was I turned…"
