After upgrading to APM Copter 3.2.1 and doing all the calibration (Radio, compass, accel, flight modes, failsafe) I am unable to fly more than 1 ft off the ground. This is peculiar because I was previously flying with the QGroundControl firmware and I could fly great but I wanted to use APM Copter. 

What's the difference? What could be causing this?

So far I've tried:

  • Reinstalling APM 3.1.2 (same issue, also could not calibrate compass on mac)
  • Reinstalling APM 3.2.1 several times.
  • Recalibrating several times
  • Reseting the parameter list to default
  • Loading the 3DR-Quad parameter list.

None of this seems to help and I'm at a loss for what's different between the systems. Any hints on where to look for a solution would help greatly because I can't find any other help online. 

Here's a video in case it helps:
