"So, against my better judgement, I tried Autotune again on the same craft. Geo Fence was turned off this time and the autotune aggressiveness lowered to half the default value.
It did EXACTLY the same thing again, flipping upside down on the roll…"

"Have you plugged the X8R into the SBUS port or the RC port on the Pixhawk? Not sure if you know this but you need to use the RC port.... confusing labelling first time round.Even if you use the right port I have recently had the same issue - cycling…"
"Yes, you were quite right - I misread your reply initially as stating that both alt and circle had been breached, not just circle.
Assuming it was trying to RTL from autotune as you suggest, still not sure how different that is than manually keeping…"

"Thanks Mikko.
You are right, next time I'll have to do each axis on a separate battery, and that will help. I'll also turn off Geo Fence and fly as close to the ground as possible in case it does have an issue and crash again.

"Hi Marco - the thing is I wasn't outside the Geo Fence. Geo Fence altitude for example was set to 120m to comply with CAA rules (and tested repeatedly earlier in the day) - you should see in the logs I was nowhere near that altitude. I was barely…"
"I certainly won't be using it again - had a pretty expensive crash!
Thanks for your help :)"

"I'm not sure - I was within the geo fence that was previously setup, so not sure if it somehow thought it was hitting the geo fence, or if the error actually means something completely different. If it is geo fence related, I still don't understand…"
