Hi Folks,
In Radio calibration i am being able to use only two modes, one of which is flight mode 6 which cant be changed from manual. Is there any way, i could make extra flight modes with the transmitter. i use a 9cap transmitter with APM 2.5.
Another issue is, in "Auto" mode the APM responds to any change in roll to right and similarly the APM responds to pitching up alone. It is not responding to left roll and pitch down. But in "stabilise" mode, APM is responding correctly.
Please help,

Try testing with FBW-A and see the behaviour. The problem with AUTO for bench testing is that the plane is heading to a waypoint. It may think bank right is correct or whatever. FBW modes work by you asking the APM to fly the plane, via stick inputs, so are a good test if its setup right.
You can easily switch from FBW-A back to STAB if it's not working.
