Mike Boland replied to Mounir Zoorob's discussion OCTO Copter Flips right after takeoff"I too have had this happen while setting up a brand new jDrones Hexa.
Have done many successful flights setting the Stabilise P correctly, and then without warning it flipped to more than 45deg but high enough that I could correct it.
2 flights…"

Mounir Zoorob replied to Mounir Zoorob's discussion Scratch built OCTO Copter + 3 axis camera Gimbal"without the gimbal it is almost 2 kg, with two 6,000 mah batteries and the gimbal flying weight is 4 kg it can carry a payload of 3 to 4 kg though im going to test the maximum lift capability soon. i still need to upgrade the props to 12 inch and…"
postaL replied to Mounir Zoorob's discussion Scratch built OCTO Copter + 3 axis camera Gimbal"This looks like a great start of a project!
What does that weigh? and how much can it carry? "
Mounir Zoorob replied to Mounir Zoorob's discussion OCTO Copter Flips right after takeoff"Question : even if the OCTO looses an engine during flight it should not flip in case i'm flying in stabilize mode right? at least that's what i know !!!! correct me if im wrong"
Mounir Zoorob replied to Mounir Zoorob's discussion OCTO Copter Flips right after takeoff"i will be testing it hand held first. and will let you know the results.but the problem i'm quite sure that its not from the motor or ESC. i don't see why this motor would not work only one time and the other its lifting the payload and…"
heikki.tukiainen replied to Mounir Zoorob's discussion OCTO Copter Flips right after takeoff"Please switch places of motor / esc of the "flipping" side to another position and try hand held. Perhaps you are able to find out which component is faulty / is it faulty.
Testing hand held reduces damage as well.
