Wind drift in GPS Flight Mode 2

Posted by Robert Baird on August 3, 2016 at 12:26am

Hi

I changed the controller to a Fly Sky X9 (Turnigy 9X) and set it up using Mission Planner.

  1. Will not ARM unless i switch off the GPS check. then it will ARM and find GPS lock.
  2. When flying in flight mode 2 GPS (set to loiter) it will hold altitude but drifts in the wind direction.

Can someone assist please.

    The lights show GPS lock but i will attach the laptop when it is in an open space to confirm.

    most likely, it did not enter loiter, due to bad GPS fix - if you had a real pixhawk (regardless of who made it)  - you would have heard an audible warning.
