Sounds like I should start fresh and redo the entire FC setup. Also I will check rates. Where should I set the rates?? I guess I can check youtube. Where I learned everything else.

APM FC, but I never changed any of my settings on that. They are on the stock settings. Perhaps I should do another autotune on it and see if that helps.

Hi all. Well, it had to happen eventually. Fly away of my 550mm quad and ended up in a tree, about 75 ft up. Came back a day or so later to try and get it down, and it fell out by itself, 75ft and hit hard ground. Dug one arm into the dirt, broke off the tip of arm and damaged a motor., along...

Initial connect to terminal with mission planner 1.3.37. When I initially connected it began downloading some kind of code, or at least was displaying it on the screen. Is this normal and if so, how long does it typically last. Thanks

Ok, well forget that first post. I found another post that says that APM planner and Mission planner are two different programs and I was attempting to use the wrong one. Not sure what software the APM planner uses, but the Mission planner works much better.

Hi all. New to the forum and first post. Im building my first quadcopter and just received my apm 2.8 this afternoon. I attempted to flash using APM planner. It does the flash, says complete, but then there are no options to setup the rest of the software/setup accelerometer, compass, etc...
