Jake Green replied to Jake Green's discussion Pixhawk and Qgroundcontrol invert fixed wing in Auto-Loiter
"Here is an update on our situation: the problem is within the "Stabilize" mode. This was seen in "Auto-Loiter" because it auto stabilizes here too. Instead of countering whatever roll bias the plane has in flight, the ailerons turn into the roll…"
