Any version of code comes with a certain amount of risk, however any stable version of code available via the Mission Planner should by the time it achieves the “Stable” status have been flown by many beta testers in most if not all flight modes on a variety of platforms. [quote]My apm 2.6 v3.2 when i do compass calibration it dont pick up any data .why ?[/quote] Can you provide some more details please? What version of Mission Planner are you using, is it the most recent one? Have you followed the directions exactly as shown here http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/ac_compasssetupupadvanced/ in the wiki? Be sure to watch the videos closely. [quote]I have a gps module but don’t have the mount pole can i just plave it on the front of the quad ?[/quote] Do you have a Compass/GPS unit, or just a GPS? If it’s just a GPS unit, then no, you don’t absolutely need to mount the GPS on a mast. That said maximizing separation of GPS/Receiver/FPV Transmitter/Telemetry Radio etc. is a good practice to limit the amount of interference each one causes.

i have just completed my F450 build and i connect everything and every thing seems to be fine
just one thing i when i ARM the copter the motors start to spin is a slow pace but i see only 3 of my motors spin and the 4th one dont spin if i put little trottle then it starts spining .
i done a motor test 3 of the motors start to spin at 7% but the 4th i have to bump it up to 10% then it starts to move
is this a common thing that happens and is it find or is there a problem im facing ?
Try moving the motor and/or esc to see if the problem stays on the same arm or follows a particular esc or motor. If it does then you need a new motor or esc.
