Whiffles commented on a Build, APM 2.6 F450 Quadcopter   Aug 14, 2015  

Installed my SunnySkys last night. It took quite a while to solder all the bullet connectors to my ESCs, but I think it was a job well done. The motors sound great and I'm just about ready for a maiden flight. Can't wait to see how these perform!

My APM 2.6 quad heading keeps changing during auto tune, is this normal ?

Alpha, what does that mean? Heading as in compass heading? I can't say I've paid too much attention to that. When I do an auto-tune, I launch to an altitude of ~15 feet, switch to AltHold, and then engage the switch for autotune. It pitches to and fro for a few minutes, then rolls. When it drifts away further than I like I fly it back, but the yaw position, and hence the heading, doesn't change.

Yes, the heading shouldn't change during Autotune. It'll just pitch and roll for a few minutes.
