"By the way i need help regarding the modes setup. What is the best configuration that you tried? If i have to use six modes, is it necessary to lose one channel i.e. Channel 6. Can't i set up the modes with channel 5 and channel 8?"

"Did you disable the mixing in the prog.mix in the menu? Go to each mixer that you tried to change for mixing (or all so that there is no doubt) and set the state of each mixer to INH i.e. In active. I think this might solve your problem."

"Just a thought, do you have automatic trim enabled and assigned to channel 7? The way I see it, if this were the case and channel 7 was always "high" this could lead to what you've described."

Glitching logs

I seem to be getting a lot of glitches showing up in my logs. I'm running 2.8.1 on my APM2. The glitches are most noticeable in the GPS entries, with dodgy Lat/Long values, but they appear in other entries too. I've an attached an example log with the glitches, and the same log fixed up (by painstakingly removing all the bad lines).I find it weird that the bad Lat/Long values aren't complete junk, but off by a degree or two.Would appreciate any thoughts.See More

Christopher Cooper replied to Stephen Roach's discussion What causes 'rejected lines in .log' text file when using APMLogVisualizer?
"Great, thanks Andrew! These GPS glitches seem to be cropping up quite a bit. How were you able to pinpoint them in my log file? Other than searching line by line with a text editor I'm not sure what to do."
