"Without knowing what exactly caused my problem, I found the "solution".
Started right from the beginning.
Flashed the APM mini and calibrated and (auto)tuned everything all over again.
Flies fine now..........."

"EDIT:
By "mirroring" I mean that the NTUN.DPosX is the opposite of the NTUN.DVelX value.
I've (re)calibrated the external compass and autotuned the copter. GPS had 9 sats."

Hi,I have a weird behavior in loiter/poshold.When i'm loiter and I want to yaw my copter, it's drifting backwards for about 3-4 meters and than will slowly go back to it's position where it started from.Doesn't matter if I yaw right or left. It…
"Wow Randy, I'm learning a lot here......
Never to old (67) to learn, lol.
The Pixhawk is powered by a seperate bec (not by esc)
The Pixhawk is supplying power to only the FrSky RX and a 433 mHz module (for using Tower app).
The 433MHz 100mW module…"

""for example, are the ground wires from the ESC connected to the pixhawk's top rail"
Randy, I have all the esc GND wires at the top of the Pixhawk and the signal wires at the bottom.
I sense that you have more options for this problem.
Can you…"

"Thanks Randy for investigating my problem,
It's a bit hard for me to understand your explanation(s), because I'm not a programmer .(just a fanatic diy man)As far as I can follow you:Is it most likely the esc itself that's causing the spike?Do you…"

"Never heard of it either.
In the log I can also see that there is a huge spike at the end on motor #1.
But..............what is the cause if this spike?
I don't want this to happen at 50 meters high!"

""ESC hickup"
So You're saying this could happen randomly to anyone, anytime?"

"Yesterday my Hex (with PixHawk fc on AC V3.3.3) crashed.Luckily, there was not much damage. One prop and I lost one of the dampening balls of my gimbal.The hex was in POS_HOLD and I was decending slowly by lowering my throttle stick.When it hit the…"

I hope I'm not asking to much, but could you please tell me your settings.

"Hi Niels G.
I have it working this way also, but "auto" isn't working and should be when in "landing/RTL and/or auto flight".
Auto retract and deploy is implemented in AC 3.3.+
So my problem still is there.
Manual controled YES, auto controled NO…"

Still no luck though :-(
Please tell me how you connected everything.
