Afternoon all. My drone seems to be working almost perfectly during flight tests as it gets off the ground and both yaw and roll work fine; however, the pitch is reversed. I don’t have a reverse option in Mission Planner in the radio calibration menu. Am I possibly using a wrong configuration or is there something I need to do to the radio controller? The RC controller works perfectly with Liftoff.

What transmitter are you using? Did you read the manual?
Did you try a web search? “flysky fs-i6 pitch reversed”
For the FlySky FS-i6 -

Good morning. Reversing channel 2 on the Flysky is the solution I came up with last night. I then had to invert the pitch control on the Liftoff simulator to compensate to make it work with the change on the controller. That being said, I don’t know if there is something I wired incorrectly or perhaps something I needed to do in the programming of the Pixhawk to rectify the pitch in the first place. I hope to build several more drones and use the same controller and am concerned that by reversing the channel as the solution it may cause issues in the future.

You are correct, making this compensation is not a good solution. I thought of possible reasons this might occur, eg, backward orientation of the fc, wiring incorrectly, etc., but those would cause roll or/and yaw problems. You probably already ran through the course instructions, double-checked the wiring, re-calibrated in Mission Planner. Did you double-check you have the correct frame/class setting, ie, quad X ?
Does a Motor Test in MP check out correctly?
