I have been using my quad for FPV for a while now, using mostly Stabilize and Acro modes.
I removed the GPS, 3DR radio and sonar to avoid losing more stuff in case of a crash. :)
Also, I have been using the 2.9.1b firmware, until now that I decided

Had a crash the other day while testing the 3.0.1-rc1 firmware.
The quad suddenly went down while in the air... well, it just dropped dead.
I couldn't arm the APM anymore and the LED's were blinking weird

I have seen videos of this guy Juz on youtube, he has the OpenPilot Revolution and awesomely flips the quad all over the place.

I can see the sonar readings in the mission planner and they seem good (connected to a PC with no ba

I am building a full carbon frame, in fact, I finished it and already tested it, if hovers great, but I am having problems with the yaw.
It yaws very hard to the right, but it's hard for the quad to yaw to the left.
I'm pretty sure that the issue

I am having an issue with this copter... as soon as it lifts off, it tends to yaw to the right.
I could adjust the yaw trim in the RC but then I will need to move back the trim again or else I am not able to arm/disarm, so I decided not to use the

I am trying to use this APM2.5, but I am having problems with the artificial horizon, it seems to be tilted to the left, so, when I lift off, the quad tends to go to the right. probably because it's trying to compensate.
Just in case, I have tried

3) Changed PID values
