"My opinion would be on initial failsafe, enter loiter mode for a predetermined time... after a delay ( say 30sec while it waits for a signal) enter RTL. That way in case of a failure it will basically stop and wait to see if you can regain…"
"VERY simple..... Brushed motor speed control.
12V input. PWM output.

"I have had this happen to me too... I was not even at full throttle but at "fast climb" and I would get a hard roll over.
gonna see if I downgrade and try it see if that clears anything up."

"can you get over to NJ sometime? It would be easier to troubleshoot in person,
I work in Paterson NJ, if you can get over during the week we can meet up in a local park or something and figure this out."

"when I do a fast decent I pitch the quad full forward and reduce power till it starts to buffet around.. then increase throttle slightly till flight gets stable... then I fly a downward spiral till I get to the altitude I wish.
the other option is…"

"another vote for getting a RC system.
if something happens you need human intervention... forget about losing the quad or APM. those props can do ALOT of damage to a person.
I know of people that have had major lacerations to the hand from motors…"

"choice B:
the important thing is the orientation of the prop... ignore were the motor is in relation to the prop
the prop 8 should turn CCW and 4 CW in relation to the QUAD not the motor. so if you flip the motor 180 you need to reverse the…"

"at :31 look at the motor in the top left of the screen... is it me or when its all unfolding does it shift over a bit to the right? could it be a motor mount failure?"
