Drone flying to non visible point
Hi there,I encountered a problem, while flying in auto mode, with approching to point that was not set by trajectory and is not visible after downloading mission from flight controller by Mission Planner. Does anybody encountered similar problem. The situation is that in the middle flight I stopped the UAV and uploaded new mission and after changing to auto mode it starts to fly in some direction. It goes straight to some point, so I assume it's not mechanical problem. I attached the link to…

Assuming you are using the AR8000 receiver the hookup should be as follows.
Aile to Input 1
Elev to Input 2
Thr to Input 3
Rudd to Input 4
Aux 1 to Input 5
You will probably want to reverse Aileron, Elevator, and Rudder from the RC controller.
@Rob, any pics would be useful.
Thanks.

The holes are so you can stick a rod through the hub and really crank it down tight. I use a really small hex key and it works great. I had props flying off until I figured that one out :)
I suggest posting to a forum, you will receive more help.
The hubs have to be on tight. I check and double check but they work. I have never had one come off.
Also I agree with Jeff. Quads have the potential for serious injury. I took baby steps when I started learning and I'm still learning.
Check your setup again. You'll get in the air, safely.

Help! I put blades on my Turnigy motors, tightened down the cute hubs, revved up to see what happens & one of the hubs flew off!
What can I do?
The hubs have 2 holes on them but it is clear thru them, so set screws aren't in order.
Fortunately I still have setup problems, because full throttle didn't get me off the floor.
Any help appreciated
Thanks Randy, I'm new to this and didnt know about that forum. I think it was a casual comment, not in that area. Lots of reading going on and my Arduflyer is almost ready for something (hopefully takeoff). I have 0 experience in RC, just a computer nut having fun.

I'm already anticipating my first quadcopter crash. I saw someone wanting to sell their Arduflyer 2.5 & ublox GPS for a reasonable price and can't find the note anywhere.
Help?!
