I've made a little video explaining my problems, it looked like the most direct way of explaining them to me.

In short, apart from the fact that i had my pusher and normal prop inverted (and thus i wasn't able to lift), with the throttle lowered at the minimum spinning speed, some of the props are stopped. Trying to tilt the copter doesn't create a behaviour that makes sense to me. The accelerometer of the APM is perfectly calibrated (and i can see it from the flight data panel).

(i've tried to run the motor test utility via CLI, but it doesn't seem to do nothing and the command returns a blank after about one minute)


Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks.

  • I just wanted to thanks everyone for their answers, i'm still unable to lift in stabilised mode (it seems unstable and i don't trust it), but loiter mode works perfectly. I can takeoff without any problem. I already had my first crash (most probably due to the battery since that they are now dead at 6V, i have now enabled the battery failover).

    What else can i say? Just thanks.

    Did calibrate your ESCs? Sometimes erase and reload and recalibrate helps clear things up.
