"Hi Mario - there so many things that could be causing this. A place to start could be the motor test made through Mission Planner if you have a PC. Try some of these links: LINK, LINK

Hi - has anyone swapped the Pixhawk in their Iris+ for a Pixhawk 2?How did it go, are there advantages, how did you cope with the different cabling, what was the cost, would you recommend this to others.Sorry if this topic has already run but I'm on…
"Mine certainly takes a shudder when shifting into Auto mode. I would usually have the throttle set high when changing modes as it is shortly after take off. I also mode shift into stabilize before landing but that one seems to go smoothly.

"Thanks Charlie – what is canon OSD?
I have managed to trigger quite successfully in the past using A2300’s but get intermittent image quality. When surveying over areas on the coast where there are dramatic contrast changes, the images are too…"

"Hi – Can anyone help with getting the settings correct for the inclusion of the GPS data on a Canon S100. I have been using a series of Canons with good success but picked up a S100 on ebay the other day.

"This has just been stuck with tape but should be protected by shield and is above the disconected GPS that is still in the craft."
My Iris+ is still recovering from a serious failure where it plummeted 50m onto rocks on a coastal reef back in September 2015. Three of the four arms were broken as well as top and bottom shell, motors, props, legs, FRsky receiver and other bits…
"Think this is the situation - I had a major crash a few weeks back and could not get a new outer shell in the UK. Managed to find one in Germany. Shell case no longer for sale on the 3DR site or HERE or HERE or HERE although there seems to be some…"

"Soldered directly to the board to save space and keep things tidy.
I had issues with the ESC though - it needed firmware revision to make it compatible with pixhawk. I may raise a query with UnmannedTech to see if this could be the issue
Thanks"

"Vital - Hi, thanks - I now understand the battery stuff and the Bin/Log files.
The ESC i am using is 4 in 1 from Unmanned Tech HERE. I can look for more bad solder but the wiring is very simple and shared by everything on the ESC.
I will also see…"

"Hi - batteries have less than 15 short flights on them so this should not be the issue. The quad is recently completed and has never flown properly. Every time I get a short successful flight I think it is sorted and purchase a new undercarriage.…"
"Thanks for your assesment. I noticed a dry solder joint on one of the pair of parallel batteries i power this craft with so it is possible this is the issue. I have repaired the joint but not had oppertunity to test it yet.
My batteries are rated at…"
