"Hi Hein,

My guess is a structural fault too, but I don't see any evidence of that. I can post some pictures of the crashed airframe, but seems that all broken parts was due the ground impact.
The tlog shows a lot of data when you load the log on…"

Daniel Fidalgo replied to Daniel Fidalgo's discussion Octo APM flip & crash - Esc sync issues? (help)
"Ok, I think that I have a self explanation for the successive crashes: Afro esc, many people having sync problems with Afro esc's and default firmware. I'll flash them with Blheli.

Regards,
Daniel"

Daniel Fidalgo replied to Luciano Zanchi's discussion FOLLOW ME / LEAD IT on Arducopter V. 3.x in Andropilot Users Group
"I start to think that the issue is not just the follow me mode, but a incompability bug between Droidplanner & AC3.1 too.

Yesterday I flew a Hexa (apm 2.5 AC3.1) and a Quad (Megapirate 2.9) with a tablet + Droidplanner 2.0 (Beta). The quad performs…"
