Hello all, New to Pixhawk!
After a dozen successful flights I was flying my plane at an altitude of around 250-300m when my RSSI dropped and the plane went RTH. I've tested the RTH plenty of times succesfully but this time it went into an extremely steep nose-dive with throttle maxed for the duration. it levelled out at 100m and i regained control.
Is it simply the case that the pixhawk will agressively go to the target RTL altitude or is there something else at play here? I notice that (according to the google KML, It goes back to FBWA and is still diving)
My plane is a Volantex Ranger so it's not exactly a sporty plane so doing near vertical nose-dives is way outside it's comfort zone!
My channel mapping is as follows:
CH1 - Aileron
CH2 - Elevator
CH3 - Throttle
CH4 - Rudder
CH5 - Flight Mode
CH8 - ezuhf Link strength

Any help would be greatly received as I'm a bit scared to fly it till I know its safe! Thanks :)
