"It’s been years since I’ve dealt with this but I recall that I purchased a new APM and that seemed to solve the problem leading me to believe that that I had a faulty sensor or other hardware component."
"Sounds very similar to the problem I was having. I fiddled with my computer for a long time 3 months I think - recalibrate, check escs, replace components etc etc. I ended up forking over extra money for a new computer and it seemed to fix the…"

I think what I had was a faulty barometric sensor or something similar.I replaced the computer/APM and it seemed to fix it. Hope this helps."

"I am not entirely sure what I may have changed but the spinning is pretty much under control now. What I did was essentially take apart everything and rebuilt it.
Now it's not spinning like a top, but instead the spin is correctable with a tap…"

"Might be my imagination but It seems like it helped a little. Still spins clockwise on take off though.
Not sure on what to try next other than replacing the computer. I bought parts to replace motors and escs because i thought that was the…"

"Thanks! I checked around the settings on my transmitter for any remaining trim adjustments I had made previously. I didn't find any in the 'sub trim' menu or on the main screen. I re-calibrated the radio via Mission Planner - if the values work…"
