Quadcopter having issues... issue with APM?

Posted by Ben Shey on October 2, 2013 at 7:16am

I have the APM 2.5. My quadcopter was working fine, but i setup a new radio (dx6i) and now its acting wierd. The loiter mode wont work when i flip the switch (it does register on mission planner). The quadcopter is now very sluggish and drifts to the ground after a few mins in the air. It wont climb anywhere near as fast as it used to. The battery voltage is fine. I calibrated the radio and the esc's and the motors have brand new props. 

Whats going on?

Thanks

    Whenever I have strange issues like this I go back to the start, reload the FW, erase and reset in terminal, recalibrate and it almost always fixes the problem, unless I have a hardware error.

    Are you .log files looking the same ?

    Have you checked vibration by turning on IMU in logs?
