El problema principal resulto ser la posicion del APM y el IMU en la nave. Para el codigo nuevo el posicionamiento es el mismo para X y + mode. Pero tuvimos que enfrentar muchos otros problemas. Por ejemplo los motores se estaban apagando solos por que los bullet connectors no eran buenos. El PPM enconder estaba mal configurado. Los ESCs estaban mal configurados entre muchos otros problemas.

Flight testing
Today we will continue with flight testing. Yesterday we made a lot of progress. I think we are getting closer and closer to actual flight. Today we will solder the ESCs and the motors directly since it seems that some of the bullet connectors were working poorly and causing some of the motors to suddenly stop. We hope that this will help fix that problem.
Today we will continue to do fly attempts and PID tuning. I think we have reached a good P value. We are going to stay close to that P and change the I and D values. Let's see what happens.

Another forum post at DIYDrones
After doing lots of tests and PID tuning today we made another post at DIYDrones talking about our current situation and the problems we are having. We also posted some videos of our tests.

I really hope we get some good replies. Anyway things are looking good. Also tomorrow we will pickup new packages from SparkFun and Aeroquad with some goodies that might help us out.

New Aeroquad order
Today we will make a new order from Aeroquad. Now that we have more time to work on flying until the happy hours we want to take this time to upgrade our platform. We will be buying new props since the ones we have were scratched in a crash. Also we want to buy new ESCs, the ones we have are pretty low quality. In addition we will be getting new bullet connectors. We have read that poor quality bullets can result in lots of problems so we want to eliminate that variable since a lot of people are complaining about the bullet connectors we have.

Creamos estos dos nuevos posts en el foro de Arducopter para ver si la comunidad nos puede ayudar para hacer que la plataforma vuele. Esto despues de haber una conversacion inicial con los desarrolladores a traves del live chat de los foros, incluyendo una conversacion con Jani, uno de los desarrolladores principales. Espero que nos puedan ayudar a encontrar el problema pronto.
