Greg if you are down towards Basingstoke you would be welcome to join me for a little fly about :) I'm going to be testing a few copters on the weekend, weather playing ball..... I have a Driod Worx CX4 & Hexa, I'm going to be testing. The Hexa has way points etc and I'm making some films to go on my YouTube channel...... it's all work, work & more work* :)

 

Regards

 

Martin

 

*When I say work I mean paid fun of course :)

Cheers Dean - it'd be great to get together some time. Whereabouts in Surrey are you?
Thanks...

Hey Greg, I am in Surrey so not too far if the traffic is o.k? there is only one other person I know of that is perhaps 7 miles closer..

The fields look good..

The only place it can be is the props or the motors, start with the props, they are usually the culprit, they will need balancing, once you have done that if it is still there, narrow it down to the motors. Disconnect all of them either at the three pin plug or the esc cables and reconnect them one at a time listening for noise and feeling the arms, once you have found the offending motor or motors you can balance them also if needed

Hello. Great to see a UK forum on here. I've never flown RCs before and have just built a hexacopter (3DR/APM1.4) and am trying it out at Wormwood Scrubs. Seems there's a lot to learn but it's great. Does anyone else ever go to the Scrubs as it'd be very helpful to see someone a little more advanced so I know what's normal/expected and what's not! Any other flying areas in West London?

edit:

video was from a few days ago, was pretty windy but quad with APM2 seems to take it in its stride :)

I've not tried anything since I put the new APM2 in. Hoping to get a chance on Sunday to have another go. Overall I'm happy with the quad. There is a vibration I need to find (you can hear it on the video) but it's a pig working out what it is. :( 

Hopefully now the weather is better we can have more time. I was starting to wonder if I should have got a boat instead...

Send me your params and a log file of auto mode, and I will see if I can suggest something to help? even just the param files will give me some idea?

Comment by Crispin on May 24, 2012 at 3:02pm

meh, one day I'll get auto to behave and see it fly like that :|

Like the tri flying, think I'll build me one of them next.
