    I have sent the blog post OP a pm asking him to either remove the OP post review requirement or lock the discussion thread to further posts if that is his intent.

  • Sorry guys, you know if something change in forum rules? This phrase appears for the first time for me when I try to write in a post only a common comment, nothing incorrect, "Your comment must be approved before everyone can see it".

  • I have been a member of this forum for about a year and a half.I like a lot of You have posted problems about our drones.What I have discovered is that many of our issues are our own creation.I have learned to pay close attention to details like balancing motors,props etc.Triple checking motor direction and correct prop (ccw,cw).Also really understanding things like esc calibration,radio calibration.The best advise I would give is to understand the wiki and before you arm your drone check everything again.We should all thank the developers  for putting up with some of our questions on the support forum.Happy flying!

  • If you are having problems with  v3.2.1 on APM 2.x hardware and your multirotor is unstable and won't sit still but worked fine with v3.1.5 or v3.2, try changing the parameter INS_MPU6K_FILTER to 20 or 42 rather than the default of 0. The value of 20 is preferred for an APM 2.x flight controller.

    As I understand it, the value of 0 used to default to 20 in earlier firmware but is now an absolute value. Changing this param cured the problem I had with 3.2.1 on a Cheerson CX-20 and it now flies smoothly with the final firmware released for APM 2.x. I'm really liking the PosHold mode!

Since then I have been flying an old DJI MAvic Pro that I bought used from a photographer who wanted to upgrade. Anyway, recently l've thought about wanting to build one more multicopter. I enjoyed the challenges of building one plus the satisfaction of flying something I built. So I decided to once again embark on a build project. My needs…

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…
