Just got APM2, and setup a test bed to bench test before I stick it in the plane and go.. I noticed something I think is odd. In stabilize mode, when I use rudder, I also get some aileron... …Continue

Jerry Cresp replied to Troy Backus's discussion Getting Left rudder on Stabilize and Auto modes"When you turn on the APM it remembers the initial roll and pitch positions (hopefully you are in a level flight position). If the roll is different when you engage Stabilise or Auto then I would expect the rudder to try and correct the change in…"
Troy Backus replied to Troy Backus's discussion Anyone put APM2.0 into an EDF jet?"hmm. Why would that be? Is there some setting I should change?
I currently have the APM2.0 in my E-flite Apprentice and it works great, but of course throttle response is not a huge deal as that thing glides very well.."
Tommy Larsen replied to Troy Backus's discussion Anyone put APM2.0 into an EDF jet?"I guess the throttle respons will be to slow... ?"

Greg Fletcher replied to Troy Backus's discussion Plane with APM2.0 Circles waypoints before continuing"That was the behavior when the plane missed a WP(flew outside the WP radius). In the latest version I thought this was fixed so that if you crossed a line perpendicular to the flight path and through the WP it will switch to the next WP. Are you…"

Hello all.. Hopefully this is the right place for this topic.I am using an E-Flite Apprentice as my host UAV. I have had 4 successful flights so far with APM2 and am relatively pleased, but I think I need to do some fine tuning and looking for some advice of where to start.The most peculiar of the items is that in just about every case where I am flying to waypoints the plane circles the waypoint before continuing, shouldn't it fly to it or close to it and keep going? Or do I have something…See More
Troy Backus replied to mack goodman's discussion Restarting a mission problems"Mack, I ran into this issue as well when making some test flights this weekend, seemed like the only way I could get it to do a new mission was to bring it down, reset the ardupilot, then re-write the new mission.

I am still in the pre-flight stages with my APM2.0 It's in a plane. When I switch mode from manual to Stabilize I get a little left rudder, when I then go to Auto, I get a bit more left rudder.... What am I missing where would I fix a setting like that?? Thanks. See More
Troy Backus replied to Troy Backus's discussion Stabilize mode question"Thanks for the input guys, but I figured it out... There is a setting in StandardParams that I changed.
Rudder Mix (KFF_RDDRMIX) was set to .5 and I changed it to 0. This eliminated the issue that I was seeing. Hopefully this helps someone else…"
Derek Ernewein replied to Troy Backus's discussion Stabilize mode question"I have never seen what you are seeing, but is your Transmitter by chhance in Helicopter mode? I know heli mode can do some weird mixing out of the box. People always suggest Airplane/Acro mode on the transmitter if it has one.
Also, so others may be…"
Troy Backus replied to Troy Backus's discussion Stabilize mode question"Thanks Eddie, checked all that and that all works as it should.
