I am trying out the drift mode. So far it gets me all disoriented. In stabilise mode all if fine, but when i switch to drift mode, the quad responds very different than what i would expect. It directs its nose to a certain forward position and the any aliron would be behaving strange, like I am losing control: a left also gives a big yaw turn. I know drift mode should control your yaw but I think this is way too much turn, to the point where i was wondering if my transmitter might be reversing the channels once on drift state (i checked on mission planner, its not).
I am uploading the logs (ignore the crash at the end, focus on the drift and loiter modes). If anyone can make some sense whats wrong, I would be grateful.
Cheers

since its been a while, I should update on the progress.
i did set it to DR 60% which helped a lot with controlling the quad. it became much smoother flight. to anyone setting up a quad from scrath, I highly recommend this, and would also advise to actually include this as part of the wiki for initial setup (maybe a section like recommended RC TX setup section?)
the strange behaviour issue is still there. I noticed it happens on loiter mode as well, which leads me to believe its a compass / GPS positioning issue. I would further investigate to see if playing around with the GPS orientation help, would report here once I have a better understanding of the situation.
pls dont hijack the thread
haha. I actually responded to Rizki comment, not yours.
if he has issues about mission planner, he should open a separate thread. take no offence. chill man.
Drift mode gives yaw AND roll in response to the roll stick, yaw stick does nothing.
I found it odd at first having flown heli's and being used to using yaw a lot that it had became natural. In drift mode don't try move side to side, just "drive" it like a RC car with one stick.
