Copter can't throttle up (need help with log)

ArduCopter Copter 3.2

Hi.

I just finished a quad copter build using a Pixhawk, F450 frame, E300 motors/ESCs, 3s battery, Taranis X8R receiver.

Today I went out to fly 2 batteries. Later on the 2nd battery’s flight, the copter starts descending (given my initial throttle down input), and no matter what I did on throttle channel, it just descended, quite abruptly. Looking at the flight log (download here: http://emcheio.com/rI) gives me no clue of what happened, it only confirms what I just described. It felt like the motors couldn’t handle the copter weight somehow.

I’ve been flying a hexacopter based on Pixhawk and E300 motors/ESCs and this never happened.

I can’t confirm exact weight but it should be around 2kg with all gear plus battery installed.

Can somebody help me understand what happened?

P.S. Another thing that happened before first flight was that after powering on the pixhawk, the status led blinked red and blue (police pattern) , I went to mission planner and noticed that I had no RC input readings. It got fixed after 2 power cycles.

Thanks!

Forgot to mention the lines (10^3):

  • around 67 it is visible that I’m throttling up and the altitude decreases
  • around 82 the same thing happens with even more amplitude.

:cry:

I have the same issue like’s your too. Just the other day i flew my iris+ with a fully charged battery for about 3 minutes then the copter start to descending and crash. No matter i push the throttle up all the way it won’t go up. Do you solved the problem yet?
