    Yes I did the auto trim, but from your question about expo throttle I guess you set your radio on “Helicopter” mode which might do preconfigured mix between channels. You can try monitoring your radio raw signal using APM Planner “Raw sensor view” and see if any of the channels are mixed with your Throttle channel.

    Actually i am trying to do the same hovering test, but when i try to fly the Arducopter Hexa APM1 v2.6, in Stabilize mode, it moves in the backward direction instead of lifting and landing at the same location.

    Did you perform the in-flight leveling (Holding Arm for 20 seconds) prior to this test?

    Hi Umer

    I fly using linear throttle and the PID is the default ones.

    Hello,

    Stock PIDs?

    You fly using linear throttle or throttle exponential?
