Firmware
Having just revisited the issue today while building a plane, I would recommend one thing. I have found the solder used on most overseas devices to be some God-awful stuff. I can't melt it with anything less than a propane torch. I know how to solder well and have the right irons and guns. It's the solder. So I cut all of it off before I start and have good luck using mine. I also don't fret about using connectors for future repairs, but I use solid, good ones. None of those "banana peel" ones. I've had the tabs break off. I also use dielectric grease on my connectors (XT type). Keeps the pitting down. And just started using Jeti anti-spark bullets inline on positive side only to eliminate sparking. See Esprit Model's website for these. Now for the obvious. You are flying fine...you "upgrade" firmware and you are not flying fine. So...? How about going back to the older version and reporting your findings here? Of course the alternative to a controlled experiment is to change all kinds of variables and go crazy trying to figure out what the problem was. Sheesh. Sorry but chasing your foot isn't the way to get girls. Ha.
