Randy replied to Andreas Breitenstein's discussion Please help reading logs.
"Andreas,       Because it only happens when the throttle is low (i.e. landing), I'd guess that that motor's ESC needs to be recalibrated.  When you calibrate it you ensure that the ESC knows what the min…"

Andreas Breitenstein replied to Brian Mahaney's discussion Suicidal APM 2.0
"Brian, When last did you clear the logs. I have has this behavior when the log files filled the ram. It will fly just fine in stab mode, but auto and RTL modes confuse the APM. Worth a try. Regards Andreas"

Andreas Breitenstein replied to David Fox's discussion APM 2.5 with AV130 Savox servos
"Hi David, The trick is to make sure the gimbal stays level with the table that the copter is placed on. Just making it move is not enough. A good way to check is holding your copter up and look in the mirror while it's recording. As you move it…"

Andreas Breitenstein replied to Don Shappelle's discussion Arducopter spins, doesn't look balanced (Rebuilt after flyaway/crash)
"Hi Don, Firstly, look at the direction of your motors, some of them seam to be spinning the wrong way round. Secondly, you need to re-level the copter in Mission Planner. That should get you going. "

"The problem is most likely an electrical connection if the aircraft has been previously successful. If, as you suggest, a section of motors failed, the power distribution would be where I checked first. A week or so ago, one member found broken…"
