I'm assembling my first quad. It isn't stable when we try to fly it and I've been trying to figure out why. Today I stumbled upon what probably is the answer.
When the quad is started up, the artificial horizon is steady. It will sit there for quite some time with no problems at all. If you pick it up and move it, however, when you set it back down the horizon won't be quite right and it will start to drift around.
Is there a procedure for testing the sensors? Are they configurable? Where do I go from here?
Thank you for taking a minute to read my thread,

Hi David,
Does the artificial horizon slowly drift back to a stable position, or does it continue to turn and change randomly after you move the quad? There are some tests that you can run in the terminal (CLI mode). Try the "gyros" test, the "adc" test, or the "imu" test, and the gyros should be very stable.
