I tried flying an iPhone 4 and I had the same jello results no matter what I tried. The bad bearing maybe be contributing to the vibration causing the jello.

What's weird is I've flown that iPhone onboard a bunch now and this is the first time it's done that.  It usually looks like this.  The bounciness in this one is from not having a back brace on my homemade mount, which I have now and it doesn't bounce like that.

Jello is very likely from vibration. And a "bad" bearing is going to get worse. I would take what's happening as a warning that it's past time to change out that motor ...

Yea, I have several spare motors on order.  And this video is from yesterday afternoon in less (but still some) wind.  This is the kind of video performance I've always gotten except for the post above.

Ace man! Congratulations!

So when are we going to start the Carolinas Multirotor Club?

I nominate you for the Presidency. I will take New Member integration tasks.

They should be easy jobs. Two members so far.. ;)
