need help with y6

I am sorta new to this whole drone thing. I have a y6 with a apm 2.6 it was a RTF kit from 3dr and i am having problems with it completely stoping my motors and it dropping out of the sky. I do have a tarot 2d gimbal and i have attached to that an older 2.4 mhz radio so i can control my gimbal from a second controller. Before you ask i have tried for way to many hours to get that gimbal to be controlled off my apm but it will not work for some unknown reason.

Is there a reason a 2.4 mhz radio would take my y6 out of the sky? it works most of the time but then it has dropped out of sky twice now. 

Thanks for any info.

    • It is a 2.4 GHZ its a fr sky d4r II. When i open my radio calibrator in mission planner the old 2.4 mhz does not so any values over the primary 2.4 ghz. so its confusing

    • Do some ground testing, using 2x2.4ghz transmitters is probably your issue. Does it fly fine without that gimbal transmitter/receiver powered on? Did it fly fine before you installed the extra gear?

      Take the props off, and test a mission using both transmitters, if something happens you know your culprit.
