Y6 new prop setup (frame=10)-Copter wants to flip forward

ArduCopter Copter 3.1
1

Hello,

I am using 3.1 on a 3DR Y6. I am trying to use the new prop configuration (all top props CW, bottom props CCW), however when I try to take off the copter wants to flip forward.

Steps I took:
-All top 10 inch props are pusher and spinning CW
-All bottom 11 inch props are SF and are spinning CCW
-Frame is set to 10

Attached are a couple logs with ‘motors’ turned on; they are very short but I am hoping it is helpful.

Did I miss something? Really would appreciate some help!

raphh,
The motor order has also changed if you use the new FRAME=10. So the motor order is now:
#1 - front right top motor
#2 - front right bottom motor
#3 - back top motor
#4 - back bottom bottom
#5 - front left top motor
#6 - front left bottom motor

 my guess is that this is the issue.

Thanks! that was it - I reconnected my ESC signal cables to the PDB as you described and it took off perfectly.

great news. Now there’s a little issue in that if you go to the Mission Planner’s Initial Setup >> Mandatory Hardware >> Frame Type screen it may reset it back to the original “plus” or “x” frame because it doesn’t understand the new FRAME=10 value yet. This will be sorted in some future MP release of course.
