Hi

I have connected the motors on my F450 quad but if i run them in stabilise or loiter they only run at half speed. If i switch to RTL they then run at full speed.

Regards

Have you run through the ESC Calibration routine?

The full procedure is described here -- http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/esc-calibration.html

Although for Pixhawk it applies to APM functionality also.

Hi

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have done that. Even if they were not calibrated they would not act as they do. I am beginning to suspect the Flight controller is faulty.

Regards

The latest firmware does not include esc calibration but i always calibrate individually before fitting.
