I've just started flight testing my plane, and from straight and level flight I switch on stabilise and found that it maintained straight an level however the tail started quickly wagging like a dog's tail except up and down any about 5 degrees up an

Read more…My hexa wasn't flying for long enough so I went from AC 880KV motors to AC 850KV motors.
I now have 6 spares for sale, 880KV soldered to AC ESC 20A, 3 wired up for CW rotation, 3 for CCW. Also have 3 pair of 12 x 45 props never used.

If that is the case, how many SATs does it wait for before establishing that as home?

I know on ACM that home is set on Arming motors on the arducopter, but I'm not sure how its done on APM.
Also is there a way of initialising the gyros after power on? On recent releases

My hexa was hoving well in 2.0.33 with default PID except D was doubled to 0.24
But when I tried that configuration I was getting high frequency oscilations on the roll axis. After some trials I went to the default PID and its great!
So t

Are there any plans on supporting Remzibi OSD integration with AC2?
I saw a video or AC2.0.30beta with Remzibi OSD, I'm guessing that the AC2 communicates with the OSD using the serial port, which would mean that its choice of Mavlink or OSD?

I'm curious to find out what other members flying hexa's use, as I'm considering going to the 850KV motors to save power consumption.
My hexa has arducopter 880KV motors with 10x4.5 props and 5000Mah 3S battery. Longest flight time was 7 mins.

So far I've only tried ALT hold mode, and that works well.
But before I'm going to try RTL, I have a couple of questions.
