I did a first test with RTL on 2.5.3 today. After GPS fix I took off ans steered the copter away from me in STAB mode. Went to RTL mode and watched the copter reaction. Instead of coming back he…Continue

"There are two ways to handle Simple mode. You can set CH7 input to toggle it independent of mode. Or you can set them permanently to each switch position and use CH7 for another function such as saving waypoints. There should be little checkboxes…"

"Jason, What do you mean with 'enabled per switch position'? If I enable 'simple' by checking the box in MP setup, does this means I'm not always flying simple? Jan"

"Simple mode is enabled per switch position. This enables users such as FPV flyers to do more complicated setups. You may have been confused since the Quad was rotated at 45 degrees and when it wobbled off your controls were not translated by simple…"

"Jason, Thanks for your prompt response. I was flying with all standard PID's and there was almost no wind. Did 3 lipos before without this problem. Jakub frame with diy camera mount. Was flying in simple mode (to keep the cost of spare parts…"

"Lloyd, Thanks for your feedback. You might be right. At first I thought to see a similar graph like Randy showed in this post. However now I took a closer look and have no more trust in my MAG. Looks like I have to replace it and see the effect. In…"

"Like I said earlier I have had a lot of trouble with the mags. I have one that does something very similar. At first I thought it was a bad connection/wiring but after re-soldering all the wires it still behaves like this when there is vibration or…"

"I still think there is a problem with your compass Attached is the graph showing the mag heading from your log file. Someone may correct me if I am wrong but I don't think it should look like this Lloyd"

"I had a look at the log file. It seems the copter rolled heavily to the left after rolling right. Maybe it was a little unstable or windy or your gains aren't tight enough. The copter increased thrust to maintain altitude which caused it to…"

Copter behave like my dog who sees a rabit

After flying my 3rd lipo in a row with no real problems, suddenly the copter takes of very agressive. Was flying in alt hold when it happened. No reactie from the remote when trying to bring the copter back to launch position. Switched to STAB and landed. After this all looked normal again. Except the broken landing gear...Logfile and sketch attached. Anyone had the same problem already and knows how to fix it?See More

"Unfortunatly the Mag fix didn't solve the RTL issue. Did a test last weekend and same issue appears. When switching to RTL, the copter flew further away instead of coming back to launch. I attach the logfile and sketch about what happened.…"

"Randy, Loiter works just fine on my end. Does it mean that the mag is not my problem? I'm now learning how to check good mag functioning. If my graph looks similar to the one you showed earlier, would that mean that all is fine? In case not,…"

Jan Boermans replied to Jan Boermans's discussion RTL strange behaviour
"Randy, I have a mag for sure and when doing the setup in MP I always check that it is selected. However, I'm not sure if it working correctly. Never checked this. Copter does what it has to do in STAB and that made me happy in the past. Now…"
