"Well, it failed again today... but in a slightly different way :( It started spinning around the yaw axis uncontrollably, and then crashed. I had no control on throttle. Two of the motors (1 and 3) continued spinning after it crashed. I was unable…"

"Can a BEC brownout cause problems like this? I'm using the BEC in esc #1. I have a stock ArduCopter with telemetry, but no other electronics at the moment."

"Now I've tried replacing the ESC and motor that was just screeching. Same sad story."

"Ok, I have reflowed the solder joints on the compass. The problem still persists.

Jahn Otto Andersen replied to Jahn Otto Andersen's discussion Yawing in wrong direction
"Ok, I tried again now. What happens is:

1. I take off and hover. It hovers nicely without any drift
2. I apply some slight left rudder. Now the copter starts rotating to the right.
3. I apply even more left rudder. Now the copter rotates the…"

I have a stock ArduCopter frame with ArduCopter 2.0.55. I have enabled the mag, and it's soldered as described in the wiki.It hovers very stable, and yaw is not drifting. However, when I apply yaw input with the rudder stick, the quad yaws in the…

Thanks for all the hard work, guys! Is this a stable release, or is it still considered beta?

I'm having problems with my ArduCopter suddenly flipping over and crashing. I'm wondering if this is cauased by a brownout. I have connected a micro servo for camera control, so it's drawing a little more current than a standard ArduCopter. I have a…
