                    ok, just to be absolutely sure, I would reload the firmware again.


                    Just to make sure, when you load the firmware, you click on the icon with 8 props (4 green and 4 blue)


                    If that doesn't get it then it leaves me rather stumped and unless someone else has any suggestions, you may have to raise a ticket with 3DR and post a link to this thread. I'd list everything you have done in the precise order to help them figure it out.

          Hi Toby,

          Thanks for your interest in helping me solve my problem..    OK as far as any changes go i really have amde none.

          I plugged in the Pixhawk, updated the software to latets Version as suggested by the Mission Planner.

          Did all the config as per instuctions in the Manual..  Thats it..  I know not to screw with anyhing else till i  fully understand it.. 

          I will have a look at the flight modes and get back to you.

          Thanks Mate !! 

          Chris

            next time you plug it in, take a copy of the current config and save it somewhere safe.

            Here is the config from my X8 on the day I opened the box and before I changed anything.

            If you get stuck, go back to this and then make changes one by one saving a new param file after each change just in case you screw up.
