I am quite new to APM and did not have the actual arducopter frame so I had always been stuck with the mess created by wires. Eventually I had thought to redesign the two boards and convert them to a…Continue

Cliff-E commented on Farooq Niaz's blog post Ideal Motors for Quadcopters:"more polls == better speed control == more stable multicopter.
Sizing motors will always be a problem since they need to be matched to the props being used. Otherwise, you're just wasting watts or over heating (ESC or motor)

Ideal Motors for Quadcopters:
Posted on January 16, 2012 at 6:05am 12 Comments 0 Likes
While searching for the Ideal motors I figured out few things which will give smooth flight and long battery life
1. Should be low Kv
2. Should have enough torque. May be the motors with more outer dia are better
3. Should have very low weight
4. Should be using very low current while on low load. but spinning bigger props
5. CNC light weight casings
6. Should be using Neodmium high temp magnets
7. High quality lamination 0.2mm stator sheet…

Just further pushing what DJI wookong M can do
What I did is removed one motor from standard Jdrones motor with Gaui 500X GM412 and used 11 X 5 Graupner prop. Rest of the threee motors are standard jdrones motors with 10" props.
The only difference was controls became more sensititve. Maybe a PID setting would have helped more. This video was made when the DJI was in Manual…

I tried following today on 2.0.49 firmware with APM Planner 1.0.86. As you can see from the video, there was obvious lag in the command around 1/2 seconds. The other thing the quad was doing it was not coming to stabilize position when I centered the joystick. This is because of the uneven cushion I placed above table. The settings are
