I bought used, an original 3DR DIY Quad with the genuine Pixhawk early version, and have rebuilt it after a crash (bad motor, bad GPS cable, bad I2C bus/board).
So I go through the entire setup, latest f/w and Mission Planner, calibrate everything, etc.
I see the internal compass has very high offsets (500+), so I turn this off and only use the GPS/compass.
I also have no voltage on Telem1, so Modem Radio is hooked to Telem2.
I'm using a cheapo 915MHz radio modem set, no camera or gimbal.
I take off in Stabilize mode and it flies great, hovers perfect, control response is great.
I land, switch to Loiter mode. As soon as I start to increase throttle the quad starts jumping around on the ground, then does a slow flip to the left. I'm on grass, so nothing broke. I try it again and same results.
I switch back to Stabilize and it flies normal, even auto lands with low battery voltage.
So, I'm guessing a bad GPS (from crash w/prior owner). Even though HDOP was 1.4 with 8 sats ????
Thanks for the support!
