"Craig it could be one of the motors or even multiple, I had the same issue although it was normally in one direction. Turned out to be two bad motors, the only way I new was a pulsing sound when going beyond about 40% throttle followed by running up…"
"Found the issue! Just as an update, and to close this thread off for anyone reading it in the future, it turned out that both motors on the rear arm of my Y6 had gone bad. Basically they would spin up looking normal but would then stop creating…"
"Here's one of my old logs highlighting the IMU Mismatch fails, PM Fails and GPS HDop issues I've been experiencing. I'd really appreciate it if someone could let me know if this looks to be a hardware issue so I can get the return underway before…"
"I'm fairly sure I have also been suffering from this problem ever since upgrading from 3.1.5 to 3.2. Unfortunately I haven't got telemetry radios, although these are now on order, so wasn't generally able to see, and log the issues as they happened…"
"Hi Felipe, I don't think it actually has anything to do with Ch 8 being set to autotune. I think it's potentially parameters being changed as I write the new settings for Ch7 and Ch8 under Standard Params in mission planner. As said there is clearly…"
"Ok, as an update I took the Y6 out this morning and she went up without issue although there were a couple of differences.
the auto tune I'd done yesterday clearly had taken and had gone OTT on the reaction rate as she was reacting very rapidly to…"

"As stated above, definitely took off in stabilized, then alt hold and finally autotune. I have done autotune in 3.15 so am familiar with the process and when it starts etc.
In fact the first time I did it before re installing after having a lot of…"

"Yes, I take off then go into autotune mode. This was confirmed 100% when I did it yesterday as once she was in the air everything was fine. and then when I flicked the switch autotune engaged and she started the tuning process."
Hi all,I noticed an issue when using auto tune in 3.2 / 3.2.1. Basically on the two occasions I enabled channel 8 to switch into auto tune I had real problems getting off the ground without tipping / yawing.The first time it happened I had just…
"Looks very cool, let's hope it runs that way and boosts the flight times.
Fingers crossed for the maiden.... and Sadie's safety."

"Does sound as though your battery is potentially suspect, did you check the voltage on your charger or through the logs and have you calibrated the voltage in your pixhawk / apm, it could be giving you a false reading.
If all of the above are…"

"+1 on this, having now mounted my DYS gimbal everything is heating up a little further so a little extra conduction cooling would be worth while. It's funny how much the booms heat up even with the carbon mounts, I imagine it makes a bigger…"
"Thanks for the feedback, After some further play with mine I realised I'm wrong on the overshoot issue as this only happens if it can't slow down quick enough when you reduce the angle from the one it was aiming for, if that make sense.
When…"

"Right, after a little more self learning RC9 is the aux1 port on the pixhawk so that is fine.
Setting the servo limits and angle limits has no affect when flying on sticks but would impact when using the mission planner to control the camera…"

"Hi Heikko
Well I took the plunge and bought the DYS. So far all looks good but I wanted to check how you connected it to the pixhawk and configured the gimbal settings under Mission Planner to adjust the pitch.
I'm assuming once the gimbal is setup…"

"Thanks for the info Heikko, looks good.
Just a couple of questions:
as you're using the shock absorbing mounts did you consider screwing these onto the top plate the other way up so they sit above it ie raising the tubes to give extra ground…"
