My copter does not respond to yaw input correctly, and while it does rotate it also drops an arm while its doing so.All of my props are correctly placed and setup, my engines are functioning, the copter is stable.Any ideas as to why this might be…
"Well I just got back and I must say overall this was not an enjoyable experience.
Firstly the copter seems very unstable, and skitters all over the place.
This seems to get worse with time too, though really I blame my PID's which are presently at…"

"Hey as I'm having a very similar problem what exactly did you do to fix this issue?"
"I can confirm that the APM is realizing the quad is not stabilized, though it doesn't look like its making any effort to correct itself.
at 0-40% throttle the quad drops motor one by 15 - 30 degrees
at 41-60% throttle the quad is more or less…"

Fixed my pdb problem and everything, all the motors arm and run all right at the exception of motor 1.Motor 1 seems too be at least 20% slower than the other 3.I have re calibrated manually and automatically 3 or 4 times. This is absurd.
"The #$%^ deans. (edited by moderator for language)
Turns out the deans plugs where somehow broken so that they had perfect connectivity at the ends, but absolutely nothing on the actual terminal pieces for motor connectivity."

"Ok an update, this is very strange.
I am getting 12v out on all four of my connections, yet on the motor one and two slots any of the four esc's do not seem to get power.
I have confirmed that the "ticking" is the result of the esc's getting power…"

So, after finishing my new pdb I realized that it was not my only problem.Even after countless calibrations, manual, automatic, regardless, motors one and two do not respond, while 3 and 4 function perfectly.They run perfectly and calibrate without…
"Thanks for the response, oddly enough I had tried jumpering the wires as you suggested some time ago; however this yielded no results whatsoever. I am going to whip up a quick system tonight though; something fishy about that board and generally…"
"Nothing at all?
Anyone?
I guess I just buy a new PDB then?"

Sorry, I'm new here, please redirect me should there be a batter spot for this question.My PDB (from DIYdrones store), when powered by my battery and disconnected from apm, displays 12v out on all 4 connections. Hear's the weird bit, all of my ESC's…
