Hello All,
Had a pretty rough go of it today. We were flying at 8-10 feet today, doing a little tuning in stabilize mode. Craft was looking more stable than it ever has. Entered forward flight, came to a stop in a hover at about 8 feet. Suddenly craft pitched back oscillated heavily for a bit, then crashed upside down. In the Log it says ERR: RADIO-2. It also FSed into land mode, which is what crashed it. Was working on PID settings to transfer to the other flight modes. I cant find any information as to what ERR: RADIO-2 means. The ArduPilot wiki shows an error 0 and 1 for the radio subsystem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon Turner

Thanks Richard,
No-one bled from this crash,fortunately. Our rx is not a carbon type rx, and it is fully enclosed by carbon when facing away. Apparently 150 ft is where it loses signal. Investing in a proper rx... Rebuilding and continuing testing...
Hello Jon,
Sorry to hear that, 40" rotors eh, just as long as you have all your apendages. I too cannot find any reference to this error code, and I intend to maiden at the weekend. The only thing that springs to mind is the obvious i'm afraid.
The only time I had a similar experience, was with the original 3DR Quad, and that was down to it not arming correctly.
