I finally got my Hex back together tonight and upgraded to the external compass I went through the setup routine and took it out for its re-maiden flight. After throttling up to "almost take off" the Hex did a complete flip from front to back. I had

Could very close placement affect each other to the point of causing interference or weakening the signal?
flight rx antennae are quite close to the 600mw 5.8 video tx. Most importantly could the 2.4 signal be jeopardised?
thanks

I tested today.
LOITER_TURNS does not work with the new Mission Planner.
The copter goes into a descent to touchdown.
ROI does not look to the center circle. looks to the next Waypont. opportunities always tested the same reaction.

Wow - I thought 4% was good for my big quad, but my FPV/trainer rig just hit the ball out the park!
Setup:
- TBS Disco version 1.3 with "Core" (inc the worst screws ever to come out of china btw)
- APM 2.5+ with double moongel corners
- APM power module

I have a bet with a friend of mine: I am to fly a 330ml can of beer to him.
The distance is approx. 300 meters one way.
I need to return back to the start after dropping of the can outside his house. No battery change half way either ;-)

What is that with my PX4? I have ArduPlane 2.74 on it, I connect to it in MP and set things, all OK. Then write setting, disconnect, cycle power just to test, and all parameters are back at default at next power up. Hmm. What can that be?

Hypothesis:
Using a (DIY) parabolic reflector behind a cloverleaf antenna will increase the cloverleaf antenna's distance.

Hi all - I'm hoping some experienced eyes can help me diagnose the root cause of unscripted spiral flying that eventually led to a crash while on a simple mission in auto flight mode.
This is the 4th mission this quad has flown, and the ~25th flight.

At the moment I'm flying a f550 with NAZAv2 & GPS. Thinking of switching to APM instead as there have been quite a few odd crashes on all DJI fc platforms recently. I assume I just need the 2.6 with GPS and possibly the power module? Tha

Just looking for a bit of confirmation - every take off is fraught with problems, with wild pitching one way or the other (it's mostly to the left, it should be noted). I often need to put in a bit of stick to get it in the air.
