Not sure if anyone else has had this problem. I've just set up a small hexa with a pixhawk controller. It gets off the ground fine in stabilized mode. When I try to fly in loiter mode, I only have throttle control, no pitch or roll. Any advice on this one would be appreciated!

Hello!
I have Pixhawk and I had this problem: works fine in Althold and Stabilize.
When I try to do to Loiter mode - mode will not engage (and two beeps)/it will not go into Loiter Mode.
I have just upgraded to AC 3.3.2, I did not have this problem when I had AC 3.2.
Maybe there are some stronger requirements about number of satellites available (I had 6) to have really good position estimate. But currently I did not find anything such from manuals what are the requirements. Is it just a thought/suggestion, maybe this is a problem here.
I will try to do some more tests in a fields, where I could get luckily more than 6 satellites.
Let's see if this fixes the problem

Hello! Case closed.
AC 3.3.2 need stronger requirements to go into LOITER mode. You can go engage the mode if You have few satellites available and bad position estimate.
I tried to fly today and when count was 8, I heard a tone and when loiter switch was pushed everything was OK.
In the end, satellite count was 11, HDop value quite low.
I also tested the AUTO mode, it worked as well.
