Hi guys , so today I received my APM , after programming it , I took it out to my roof .
It flew nice till it was in stabilise mode , but as soon as I switched it to Loiter (gps stabilise )
It started flying diagonally and went to my neighbours house and crashed there  , they were nice and helped me get it back , can someone pls tell me what went wrong . This felt exactly like a naza flyaway issue .

Gps - ublox 6m with COMPASS
APM - 2.6
Firmware - Latest

How is this frame. Is it of good quality.

Yeah ! Great , when I was going to their house , i was thinking that the booms would have bent , the motors would be broken and the props finished ! But instead the motor , prop and everything else was perfect ! As you can see , only the landing gear broke off and I have already fixed it !

And also , the idea of a foldable frame that doesn't require to first remove a screw to fold it is great !

Did you calibrate the compass before you took flight?

Ahhh, should kept it a bit away from other electronics. Use a GPS stand.

How can I make one ?

Don't want to wait for one .

rcrcnitesh

easy use your imagination.
One thing keep the gps a bit high from the frame.

Any design / drawing my imagination gets wild sometimes :)

rcrcnitesh

That is the problem the gps is with all the elecs.
One more thing was it cloudy.
As if it is cloudy the gps won't catch the signal properly.

It wasn't cloudy , but It was windy , the gps had 3d lock . I will try and make one myself , if I won't be able to do it then I'll buy it from somewhere

satyagupta

Dont need any drawing, using a stick put some hot glue on it and make some platform over it. stick your gps over this platform. Keep good distance between your electronics and gps/compass
