Hi all.
I've been flying a solo for about a year, climbing the usual steep learning curve and pretty much overcoming problems as I go along. I really enjoy flying it.
I upgraded to the mro gps last year and it has worked well.
Over this past winter I loaded open solo and purchased solex to fly.
But recently the solo has been having some stability problems, and had several landing flipovers.
A recent short log is attached.
The automatic log analyzer in mp indicates a large offset on the compass and the solo constantly asks for the compass calibration.
There's also a gps failsafe error and a radio error beng reported. Not sure how to dal with those
The main sympton is that the machine won't stay level even when in stabilize mode, so am I right in assuming it doesn't actually need the compass or GPS for that?
I looked at the des pitch roll and yaw in comparison the actual. And this seems to describe what I'm seeing.
The roll and yaw are pretty stable with the actual following the desired quite closely.
But for the pitch, the desired pitch is pretty smooth, but the actual is bouncing around a lot, and this is what i see in flight.
It repeatedly jerks, as if trying to correct the pitch.
Any advice would be greaty appreciated.
Also, I just bought a green cube and also a here gps. I'd like to resolve this problem before installing them.
But then again, maybe those upgrades would also be the solution ?
Thanks to everyone for their hard work on this project.
