Hello Everybody,

i have done a APM 2.0 flight test today, unfortunately, during two tests, the copter flipped over without even lifting off. - Even the video is quite funny, i would like to find out what may be wrong and fix it.

Here is the video link:

Anyone got an idea what may be wrong here ?

Also, does anyone have an Idea on the PID parameters ?

The Copter is 1,1 x 1,1 m and weight is ~ 15 kg. - Props are 11x7 - 3Blades and Engines are 420 kV, 850W. Battery is 8S, 35000 mAh.

Cheers

Florian

Yes, the APM1 ill be much better than any KK board.  Unless you have RC experience, the KK is not a good beginner board.  Flips can occur for many reasons.

Oh, also you're push the throttle way too hard.  Ease it high gently until it hovers, and then stop.  Don't try to fly so high on your first flight. About 1-2 meters off the ground is good enough.

Ok - so next project: Fit the APM on the Quad and re-test.

Will do this asap.

Cheers

Hello Ellison !

Hello Everybody !

Lesson learnt - KKBoard is not for me. - Anyone needs two ? ;-)

I have now fitted the APM1 on the craft and i can really say it works. - Finally - the first flying copter.

Still got the octo to fix, but this is to follow soon then.

Here is the video - it's been my first flight overall, so i am not trained yet:

Cheers and thanks a lot to everyone !

I will report progress on the octo in a bit.

Good job.  Way to stick to it.  After a bit of quad flying, you'll have a better idea about getting the hex flying.
