100KM

Runaway ArduPilot !!

NOTICE: I've had the wrong KMZ attached before... Now you should be able to see what exactly happened...

 

Just came back from a hectic evening!

 

I've plotted 4 waypoints, the last one was supposed to be a 5 x Loiter. The first round the plane didn't seem to hit the waypoints. I charged, reset and tried again, that's when it happened...

 

The plane started to loop further and further away until I was worried that I will not be able to see it properly to be able to control it! I sprinted after it (300 meters at least) and managed to get close enough to switch to manual and got it back by grace.

 

What went wrong? The log file indicates my flight plan in the proper location, and it's catastrophic 800 meter drift!

 

Please see attached kmz, log and .h file.

 

Please somebody, give me a clue!

 

Many thanks

    What aircraft are you using? Have you already tuned the PIDs for it in RTL mode? It sounds like you don't have nearly enough nav authority for your plane. The default settings are very conservative.

    Well the power cables won't be helping things, maybe its Ysterplaat trying to have it for themselves
