My setup just does not work

Posted by Eddie Weeks on December 27, 2011 at 8:08am

My quad with 2.1 hovers great... The PID tuning was not a problem...

I made the frame fairly large and its more than stable enough to take still pics from..

Problem is... Any Yaw input and the quad climbes very quickly or drops like a rock.

Using smaller props helps a lot but then it has no power and can't lift the camera..

Adding weight helps but not near enough. Power setting at hover is about %60

I am using a temp heavy wooden frame right now for testing because the light weight

I build first was too light

Setup  

Exceed RC Rocket 3020-600KV (300 watt max)

Turnigy Super Brian 80a

2 x 5000 4S

12x3.8 slow fly (not flyable)

11x3.8 (bearly flyable)

10x4.7 (works ok, but no power)

Think I am going to scrap this frame and build a tri copter because I know I will not have a yaw problem with it.  Unless Someone here can give me some advise.

Thanks

    2.1.1 has a patch that I would be very interested to see if it helps you.

    It's adjusts the accretion of props in situations like yours. Could you give it a go in Stabilize and let me know?
