Guys,
I am puzzled by a very strange behaviour of APM on my SKywalker. The setup was perfectly tuned and I had done several photomapping grids. All settings were fine tuned and the turns were all smooth sharp and with no weaving.
The same setup, one da

Was installing the new Pixhawk on a plane and was using the 3DR power module to power the Pixhawk. I also have an ESC (w/BEC) and 4 servos to drive around. Now i noted that without the ESC connected the Servo rails were powered with the 3DR Powe

Probably being a little stupid but I can connect to the PIxhawk using mission planner and my TX controls calibrate without a problem so I assume the sbus connection from my RX to the Pixhawk is working fine (power going the other way is clea

Hex displayed some alarming over-roll events tonight, when "snap" rolling - ie jab the sticks. Mainly because I'm still tweaking the PID's the last few percent.
However, it's only when "snapping" left. Add left stick progessivel

I have recently installed a 5.8 Ghz video transmitter on my APM 2.6 quadcopter and ever since the loiter is rather shaky, doesn't hold good position, some jitter is visible on the copter , although stabilise mode still works well.

Hi Guys iv looked and looked, so apologies if this has appeared else where.
With telemetry and GPS locked in I can see my quad while it is on the ground next to me and it drifts around very slightly as the GPS lock drifts so I know it must be updating
