Thanks FinalGlideAus for the info on the APM 2.6! I don't want to do acro with my quad. I just want a nice stable locked in platform to shoot video from. In the future I'm sure I'll want to try out other things the APM will do like the different flight modes and way point flying but for now nice stable video is all I'm going to be asking it to do. It's ordered. Now just waiting for Paul to get it out the door!
I think I figured out the issue with my quad. It's the esc. I switched the esc from the left rear motor (m4) to the right rear motor (m3) and it did the same thing except it flipped to the right rear this time. Looks like I have a weak esc or one that needs some programming. In flight it cuts the throttle, not off, but way back. And at other times, if I bump the throttle up real quick it doesn't respond fast enough and the quad flips over in the direction of the bad esc. I tried a different motor and a different fc and had the same issue. When I moved the esc the issue moved. My money is now on a bad esc. To bad I didn't figure this out before I placed my order with RTFQ! I'm going to email him and see if he can get back to me in time to add a couple to the order.
