Increasing yaw authority on hex
Can anyone tell me if I should change my hexacopter motor angles to try and increase yaw authority? I'm sure I have read somewhere that 3deg one way for the CCW motors and 3deg the other way with CW motors can help.
If anyone has had success with this can they let me know which way they twisted the mounts for CCW and CW?
If there is a thread on this subject can you post the link? My searches came up with nothing.
Thanks!

I tried it once on an old hexa which was severely underpowered and had practically no yaw control. It did help out a lot but having said that I'm pretty sure you also lose some efficiency/thrust.

Thanks zmooth, I think that info above is the one I spotted some time ago. I might give it a miss as I'm after smooth, slow camera movements, not zippy aerobatics.
My real issue is the quality control on the manufacture of the Dt750 motors. Some have slightly bent shafts and some have grinding bearing. New motors should not be in that condition.
Looking at some replacement 850kv motors now.
