Re: Effect of motor mix parameters

I'm familiar with that page, and have used it to come up with mix parameters for my spider-quad. I'm trying to figure out what the correct yaw parameters should be. The linked page says to set them to be equivalent to the roll value, which will cause the quad to roll about its center. I don't unders...

Throttle only active from 50%-100%

I have messed up my config somehow and need some help. I completed my build and got some brief flights in late last night in acro mode, so I know the copter was working fine.
