OK, so the flight controller is an OLD APM (Ardu Pilot Mega) 2.6.

How did you “change to PPM mode”? Include EVERY STEP and include pictures of ALL of the connections to the APM, receiver, GPS/Compass and so on.

What EXACTLY is a “5 in 1” power module?

I can’t see my reply my connection are c1 from reciever ro input 1 of apm input 2 and 3 of amp jumper the power module pictures I am using a 2s battery power module recommends 3s and up I am getting 4.65 volts to apm

Hate to say this, but that aircraft is a total mess.

Had you said 5 in 1 power distribution board and vibration damper I would have know what you are talking about.

Sticking the GPS to the top of the APM totally negates the damping mount and those tie wraps and hot glue have got to go.

Form looking at your logs it looks like the APM isn’t decoding PPM. Try going back to PWM. If that works you made to flash to onboard PPM encoder:

To get the aircraft to fly you need to run 3S, 2S just ain’t gonna cut it.

It’s a work in progress this is our first time working with quadcopters its a f100 quad that I converted the hot glue and ties will come off when we get it working correctly I can’t understand why all the flight modes except rtl work thanks for the help

Switching back pwm mode fixed the rtl problem I will do the update and get a 3s battery
