I do not want to bring computer everytime on the field.
Is there a way or a parameter to set once for all making automatically home to the place from where I power on / arm ?
Reading the doc, I can't seem to find it
Thanks
Read more…I've had to disable the Pre-ARM checks on my APM (Y6 f/w 3.0.1) because it will not arm.
The confusing part is that it won't say *why* it doesn't arm.
I have Mission Planner running, via 3DR telemetry, and the obvious causes do report on the screen on

As I am quite new in this hobby, I could be wrong but I guess my quad was very stable loitering few weeks ago. Right now, I have a huge problem with the drone going mad and climbing 72 m instead staying quite at 2 m... and the loiter is not stable an

Thanks
