Help with tuning my Y-6 just acro and stable modes

Posted by denorman on November 19, 2011 at 12:21am

i have been at it for quite a long time to tune my Y-6 and I have flown other boards that were much easier to set up.

I am flying with Stable P = 3.5, I = .013 

Acro P = .313 and I = .0 

 

but this is just from trail and error, there could be something very wrong

 

So i have found too high a P setting for Acro and I know where too low is but even in the middle of that the quad seems to be very twitchy not smooth at all.  Also I am getting a toilet bowl effect like a Fixed pitch heli in acro mode.

 

once I hit stable mode the Toilet Bowl effect goes away.

 

I am not sure if I am dealing with too much vibration, balanced props, or not.  my APM is mounted on top of moongel.

 

has anyone else seen this circling around like a toilet bowl flush?

 

any help could be appricated

    This is in acro mode? I am trying to setup my acro modes on arducopter today too. When you say toilet bowl effect, do you mean it's oscillating in a circular effect, but not yawing with the circle, correct? I've never flown fixed pitch heli, only collective pitch and coaxial, so forgive me.

     

    I am going to give my Y6 a shot today and see if I can replicate that.
