So today I got scared to death. In loiter mode I was hovering when it started to climb fast at 1/2 throttle and had no control, straight up! It climbed to 130m (according to the log) and then landed itself. Luckily failsafes for battery and geofence came on. Landed slightly fast but didn't cause any damage at all. I am just scared what happened may happen again and not turn out so well. Log is really interesting to look at. Don't have any idea why it climbed to 130m.

4x 1350kV NTM motors

4x Afro 30 AMP ESCs

DJI 450 flamewheel

Pixhawk, 3DR power module and GPS. All original from 3DR. 

Fatshark predator FPV @ 5.8GHz

Arducopter 3.1.4(?) Newest

If someone can take a look at my log and see if they can see anything. A few other people have similar problems and it seems to be in the accelerometer data? 

Thanks for all the help!

Ben!

  • Plot your IMU/ACCZ vs CTUN/ALT
    you will see that your vibrations, especially Z, go many times over normal values. You have HUGE vibrations, affecting the IMU.

    Most likely at a certain or max throttle.
    You could stop the ascend at any time by switching to any not-altitude controlled mode, like Stabilize.
