What airframe are you using for that test?
Same thing here with my Droidworx AD-4HL Frame. Had hours of flights with 5.02 and just can't seem to get 5.06 dialed in as good. At this point I think I'll roll back.

I gave up trying to make the wkm fly on my Skyjib 8, for this test I was using a DW CX, reflashed esc's, MT2814 770kv motors and 12x3.8 carbon 13 gram props.
If it doesn't fly well with this setup my guess it won't fly good with anything.

One thing that I notice with the Simonk ESC's is that they come with the Brake enabled. That is probably good for aeros but I don't like it for stable flight.
I have been totally happy with 5.02 but I thought that I would give the latest one a try. That was a mistake, after downloading I connected the mini usb, and the assistant did not respond by opening the highlighted read/write function. After some investigation it seems that it has corrupted the WKM as it now wont work. I seem to recall Boris having a similar problem.

ok i changed my props to 10x5 instead of the 8x5 (graupner) Added a second battery and it really is nice and stable now even with a lot of wind gps hold now is rock solid. So i believe for making this firmware work you just need more weight then wit 5.02. My f55 is about 2600-2700 grams now.
I rolled back to 5.02 today and my droidworx flys like a dream again. I have over 5 hrs of flight on this version without a single issue so i think I'll stay here until i absolutely have a reason to upgrade. I do wish my gimbal performance was better, but I'm banking on the Skyline to help in that department.

I was about to pull the trigger and update just waiting for Mihnea to clarify what's up with the new version. Anyway, there are still mix results on 5.06 so I guess I'll stay in 4.0. Or maybe I should buy a new WKM just so I can have a comparison of new fw, I dont want to lose 4.0 as it flying good for me.

Everything works excellent on 5.02. However, I'm really on the fence about 5.06, as I just lost an esc after converting. I must say, after converting to 5.06 the damn thing flew just great the first flight, but my 3rd attempt was when the #5 motor fauilted to spin up. It armed but did not respond to throttle movement. That God it was on the ground!
I can't say for sure that 5.06 caused the failure, however, I can firmly say that ther was a deffinate temp difference in both the motors and esc.
I do have a new esc comming, but trying to decide whether to roll back to 5.02 or not.

Would anyone care to post their comparative gain changes from the previous firmware to the current one? It seems most were running pretty high numbers, like 250-350. Then DJI gives us the ability to go to 500% but makes the heli run better at lower numbers???
