"Happened to me too, whatever firmware I used. Apparently the orange rx doesn't like the wires that come from the 3DR kit (crimped housing with the white, orange and yellow wires, and a single black/red wire to power the rx). Notice that it only…"

"Thank you for sharing this sir. I am also considering doing this. If the autopilot cannot compensate, I will definitely experiment on adding upthrust on the pusher motor."

"Serge, I had a similar problem.  When motor was over 65% my FPV pitched down but if reduced throttle to minimum it flew without no problem. Solution: I had to change the motor angle to compensate this pitch problem.   From there on I had…"

"hi serge, us the standard parmeter function in throttle-pitch mixing in configuration. it is set in %. try  3 -5 %. it can be + or - . if nose goes down on throttle up then should be - (minus). most aircrafts nose up or down on throttle…"

Pitch Related Parameters

Hey guys,My EPP FPV has this bad habit of pitching down when the throttle is increased to maximum in both manual and auto mode (CG is perfect when I'm flying in manual mode, no trims). It may be indicative of bad thrustline or flexing of the entire tail section in high speed. In auto mode, the ardu can compensate enough when I limit the maximum throttle to about 60 percent but it flies too slow and it will not be able to fly stably in moderate winds. If I set the maximum speed to 100, the ardu…See More

"Will do sir! I will try out those values as soon as possible and report it here. Oh and I found lim_roll_cd, Now I'm sure I really can't find PITCH_COMP. I'm still looking XD Regards, Serge "

"Hi Serge, A couple of things I notice in the logs. First off, when tuning a plane I suggest you set TRIM_AUTO to 1. That will mean that when you change from MANUAL to any other mode that the APM will take your current stick positions as the correct…"

"Hi Serge, If you can post a tlog (telemetry log) then I can try to work out what is wrong. I'd also suggest you try the latest release. Cheers, Tridge "

"Yes they move correctly and respond correctly. if i give a left command in stabilize mode,the left aileron moves up; right goes down. and the craft returns to level when I put the rc sticks back to center  "

"Oh OK that's that then. Do the ailerons move correctly in stabilize mode when you move it by hand?"

"Sorry that's what i meant. Flying in manual mode the plane flies straight as an arrow. "

"You need to *fly* in manual mode to see. The problem with those types of planes, if the boom is twisted or misaligned in some way, it acts as a rudder and APM fights hard to keep the plane straight and you don't know it. When you switch to…"

"Yes ailerons are moving correctly. Manual mode is unremarkable. Lots of available travel and flies straight as an arrow with center trims. "
