My fossil 210 been flying great but just recently it's been freaking out and I don't know why. I haven't touch anything on the quad or TX because I've been really happy with it. This just started to do this the other day and I have no Idea why

Yulp! I think I have to keep the cursed 180 away from the 210. Only happens in horizon mode not angle

I had something similar to this an it turned out to be a badly soldered connection:)

After taking the quad apart and looking around for anything wrong, I've notice no bad soldering joints or any nicked wires. This just happen for no apparent reason as I was flying around.

There had to be some kind of reason for this. You may try refreshing a newer firmware and set it up

I was thinking about doing that Derek. The only thing is that I have 2 brand new FC that I can't get them to recognize my TX in the receiver tab of betaflight. I'm afraid with my luck that if I try to refresh a newer firmware that my TX won't recognize the FC

Then just wait til we can meet up on Skype. The two new fc's will likely need the drivers set up. The fc thats on your 210 should be ok after flashing.

Thanks Derek. I'm just trying to learn before we meet up on Skype. As for the 210 FC...it did died. I can't get no lights, solid green or flashing blue light to show on the FC and my RX light doesn't light up either. If I take the RX from the 210 and plug it in to both new FC the RX lights up and it's bind to the TX. The green light stays on and the blue light flashes on both FC. Both FC have the latest firmware installed already so that's a good start so far

Did you get any smoke from the fc on the 210?

No smoke out of the FC but a funny crackling noise. After process of elimination and many bad word later
I got the 210 going again. STILL the quad is freaking out in angle mode
. So when we do meet up on Skype, you will have couple of brain teaser to pick our brain. Thanks!

Thanks Graham. The only thing is my quad is fine on take off. The problem is when I'm ready to do a flip and come out of the flip that's when the quad decides to go bunkers.
