Hexa copter wobling and crash

Posted by Shamir Pinedo on April 20, 2016 at 7:33pm

Hi there,

I am new into the world of drones. I always wanted to build my own drone, so for a school project, I decided to build a hexacopter. The part description are:

H550 V3 Glass Fiber Hexcopter Frame 550mm

APM 2.6 (with external GPS)

6x Sunnysky 2212-13 980Kv

HK Afro 30 A ESC

Turningy 9x Radio

Batterry Luminier 5200 mah(4s)

So after putting everything together, I followed the calibration process, starting from the Fc, the radio and ESCs. Then I took it out for a flight and noticed some strange behaviors; Wobbling and after that it crashes.

I would like to know what's happening so I can fix this soon.

Thanks in advance.

    oh man, that's terrible, you crashed your hexa copter.

    It got some signs of wear but it didn't break though. Later I managed to fly it with no problem.

    I have put some 3 layers of double tape under my apm. Don't know if it's enough. And no, I did not balanced my props.

      I found the problem. The ESC wiring wasn't good. After correcting this, I manage to get it in the air. Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it.

    Thanks James! I tried loading one, I saw some improvement but somehow I still got unbalanced take off behaviors.
