Troubleshoot Loiter Turns

Hi,

Im trying to get my quad running Pixhawk to perform circle mode via a mission. (Loiter Turn)

For some reason machine just appears to drift.

I created a mission with step 1 takeoff, 2 loiter turn in the middle of oval. Screenshot shows what the craft did to the point where I just fired RTL.

When I look at flight plan, I updated turns to be 5 & not touched any other settings.

Circle_Radius currently set to 100

Circle_Rate set to 45

Arducopter 3.1.5

Any ideas where I might be going wrong?

Thanks in advance

Please see http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/circle-mode/
NB: The units are meters in AC 3.1 and will be centimeters in AC 3.2. ***Mission Planner will report the units as cm for both versions of the code.

  Thanks Craig,
  
  What threw me was mission planner showing units as cm.
