you must follow the pictures in the wiki, yes it is correct to have those different direction up and bottom, as the motor mixing is designed to work with those directions.
As for the motor heat, it is normal when the motor is designed to urn…"
"Hi all,

"Hi guys,
I was almost done for the day when a friend showed up at the field with his Harpoon II with it's 90mm jet, I just couldn't resist, I only had one full battery left. Just had to try to "chase" it. It ended beeing a slow follow up and down…"
prior to using 2.5.3 I ha no problems with yaw.

As I'm about to leave for the field to test 2.5 outside, just curious, is the ACCEL_ALT_HOLD operative? if so what's the difference between values 1 and 2? I understand 0 does nothing...
"Congratulations dev team, this release looks really great.
On the other hand last reports on Y6 where not that good.
Has Anyone flown a Y6 with 2.5 successfully?? I'm worried about last messages reporting a turning behaviour on take off...…"
