Arducopter speeds

Posted by Patrick Dudley on March 20, 2013 at 12:45pm

My quadcopter is set with standard speed parimeters. In Stabilise the quad moves exactly how I want it and at the right speed. In Auto it goes OK but fights the wind (as little as 15mph winds) and almost comes to a hover. Do I increase the mps in the config ? or is there another parimeter to adjust ?

  I Use 880kv motors and 12x3.8SF props, the total weight being 1.5kgs.

    You did not say what battery you were using? I assume they are 3S. If so you can try 4S and it will give you a bit more power. You will need to tune down the PIDs for stabilize P and IMAX. The start at 4.5 and 8, you can try 3.5 and 7 or 3 and 6.

    15 mph winds are pretty strong for 1.5kg quad. I've flown in 20 mph winds and its a fight to keep it where I want.

    Good luck and fly safe.
