Steffen Kupka replied to Steffen Kupka's discussion TBS Discovery Pro with APM 2.6 maiden flight

I have exact the same problem.
Bounces 1-3 times when I use Auto Land like with RTL.
My Throttle stick is always low before it touches down in auto land. So that couldn't be the problem.

Steffen Kupka replied to Steffen Kupka's discussion APM 2.5 Twitching problem
"My TX/RX is only a simple Devo 10. Therefore I don't use PPM.
I used it on a different quadcopter and it worked fine.
I'll try to reset the APM and will see if this works and post the outcome soon.

Thanks for your help so far."
