APM Pitch slow to respond

Posted by Bob on July 11, 2014 at 9:21pm

Just wondering if anyone can help me out my 3dr apm is very slow to respond to changes in pitch as can be seen in this video   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HusPjTvl970

, roll and yaw are fine and respond instantly but there is a massive delay with pitch response.

I have tested a hobbyking apm and no problems with it .Any help greatly appreciated

      Ah, that's an old APM 2.5 board, which is no longer made. It should still work, but I'd recommend converting it to a 2.6 and using an external mag.

        Yet still can not figure out why only the pitch axis is very slow to respond to movement

    Have you gone through the setup process (accels, etc)?

      yes have gone right through the setup process a number of time yet makes no difference.

        The 3DR APM is not sold as a bare board as shown in your video. Are you sure that is a 3DR APM 2.6?
