Hi, I´m new to APM and need some help here.
Last week I maidened my X-8 wing only with rc equipment (no APM) Everything goes OK. Made a couple of flights, trimed as sugested.
Turnigy brushless ESC 85A w/ 5A SBEC
Hobbyking motor
HiTec servos HS 225 MG
Futaba 149 DP 72 mHz RX.
Today, I instaled the APM 2.5. Downloaded MP and instaled the firmware OK. I followed the instructions, USB and GPS connected to APM board, RX to APM to Servos and power module connected to feed servos. But when I powered up to make radio calibration servos goes crazy and start shaking realy bad, I can move the servos with my Tx but they shake everytime. I use 3s and 4s batt. with the power module with the same result (no Jumper used).
After that I remove the APM and connect servos and Esc to Rx as usual and everything works fine again, so I think is something with the APM.
Any sugestions of what could be happening.
Thanks.

Hi
Have you solved the problem? I had the same problem ,,the problem is electronic components so close to eachother, and they have electromagnetic effects to each other,, i solved it by isolating APM2.6 by aluminium paper .
