I wanted to start a conversation around the roll and pitch of Arducopter drifting as you fly.
The reason is I just assembled new hardware and problems that weren't there before have now shown up in a bad way. Flying indoors in a 5ft space I was able

Any advise? I currently have the APM 1280.

I've spent the last few weeks building my first multicopter. I've ended up with a fairly stock arducopter setup. I had intended to load the ardupirates code but coincidentally my build was wrapping up just as the new ACM code was becoming availabl

Just wondering if someone might know what's happening here.
I just got around to loading the AC2 code and reconfiguring my quad build after a few weeks away.
Before this I have been flying with the Ardupirates code with no problems.

I've seen many times that when rebooting the board, or connecting the APM +5V rail when connected through USB, we can loose CH1 or 2 or 3 or 4 input.
This is caused i think by a PPM encoder crash because of noise or spikes on the +VCC rail.
