APM 2.6 - GPS issues

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction… no pun intended.

Done all the calibrations, have a good GPS lock, etc, etc, etc. When I go into loiter mode it wants to start to bank left and slowly fly off.  Sometimes it even does weird things with the throttle like drop the RPM’s drastically. 

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

                    Just make sure it reads no more than 5,25v else it can cause issues to sensors and or things like OSDs. I am betting when you get the VCC issue resolved and re-calibrate your mag then most of your other issues will go away.

                    Though praying to the flight gods and sprinkling some pixie dust won't hurt :)

        • Maybe that's my problem. I'm not using the power module, I have the jumper on and I'm powering everything from the ESC's.
