Apm 2.5 flips / values on rudder seem ?

Posted by Darron Hall on May 16, 2013 at 12:51am
Hi guys in my MP when I look at my values and movements all are fine exept the rudder stick, throttle up forward and backwards all move in sync but as soon as I touch rudder stick all values move as they should but do not return to centre as the other channels do ?? Surely they should centre or she would continue to spin ? would this be causeing my flips ?Any help would be great ... Darron

    You should only have one movement with one stick in the Mission Planner radio calibration screen.

    Radio TX should be set in Acro (airplane) mode for APM.

    Also make sure you are in Stabilized mode to confirm flight controls.

    Are your stick assignments -- (left)  Throttle/Rudder  (right) Elev/Aileron ?

    What flight mode are you in?  Is it set to Acro Mode, by chance?  I haven't flown in this mode, but according to the Wiki:

    • The Roll and Pitch control stick will tilt the copter in the direction of the stick displacement.
      • In order to re-level the copter the Roll and Pitch control sticks must be moved in the opposite direction from the current tilt.
      • In order to maintain stable hovering the Roll and Pitch control stick requires continuous adjustment.
