The New FPV  APM  Kopter

In the foreground, the bumblebee

in the background the  Kamkop  with the GoPro 3D system

 

 

The new FPV Kopter

 

made vor 10" Props

to use GoPro or a smal FPV camera

 

 

 

NTM Prop Drive Series 28-30A 750kv / 140w

Motors:

NTM Prop Drive Series 28-30A 750kv / 140w

 ESC:

TURNIGY Plush 30amp Speed Controller

Accu:

2200mA

 

 

 

now I'm still working to find the correct PID parameters

 for a stable and no wobbling flight i have to set the P parameter unter 1

than i have not enough sensitivity on my RC

 

maybe someone has experience with such a small Kopter with relatively large engines!

 

or someone could rewrite the code for me ?

 

Thanks

Peter

well, i think you will have a problem with the propeller overlapping, it causes much vibrations

Comment by Haidar Abu Bakar on September 5, 2011 at 8:06pm

Yes, the props might even strike each other on a fast descent or landing.

Your P is probably not the issue as much as not having enough D.  Just my guess here, but it would make sense that such a short coupled quad would need more D beings the moment of inertia terms are so much lower.

Thanks !

 

i will try the D Parameter !

 

the Quad is OK ! no Problems with the overlapping !

i fly it also good with the HK System

This huge overlapping is like having unbalanced propellers.

A propeller increases airflow velocity/decreases pressure and the below propeller has to cope with 2 different airflows on each blades.

Ok, it is... design exploration !

Where do you buy spacers (black cylinders between arms)? 

Comment by Peter Koppendorfer on September 6, 2011 at 1:16am

hello Guntars,

 

the Spacers are from Conrad-Elektronic in Germany !

hello  

What material is this made out off?

How heavy is this quad when it is fully loaded?

Hi,

 

2mm GFK

 

ca. 800g

@Ryan with D do you mean P-rate?

As far as I know there is no D term... :)

@Peter

I have been playing with the P-rate and raising it (or lowering it) does make a difference on how the quad reacts even on stabilize mode.
