Large X6 just flips on it’s head when trying to lift off.
Can’t find how to reverse the gyro or accelerometer and realized the motors might be connected wrong.
Initially I found it very difficult to find a motor connection diagram and upon reviewing my path I realize the only readable motor connection diagram is on the APM 2-2.6. I previously flew this hex on a 2.5 with no issues, decided to try the pixhawk and haven’t flown since!
So my first question is, are the motors connected to the Pixhawk in the same order as the 2-2.6?
My second question, if the first question is “true” is there a way to reverse gyro or acc in the roll axis so I can quit breaking those expensive carbon fiber props and go fly already?
Thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated.

This is what I do to confirm a working copter stabilization before first take off. This method is a bit dangerous, so please be careful.
[ul]
[li]Get a good grip on your copter and hold it in a way that rotating props won’t hit you, e.g. over you head.[/li]
[li]Arm the copter (stabilize mode) and raise the throttle just a bit, enough to produce some lift and reduce the weight on your hand, but not much more.[/li]
[li]Tilt the copter with your hand forward/back/left/right. You should feel a response that counters your movement, stabilizing the copter.[/li][/ul]
Good question. I’m about to switch from APM to Pixhawk as well, so I’d like to know…
Is your pixhawk orientation really facing forward? And the cw/ccw props are not mixed up? Sorry for these stupid questions, just to be sure…
