New Quad Keeps Breaking Props

Posted by Richard Boyhan on January 21, 2013 at 11:11am

I getting tied of replacing props. I just finished putting together a new 3DR Quad. But every time I try to fly it, it flips on the ground and breaks a prop. Can someone take a look at the logs and tell me what's wrong?

Thanks,
Richard

Can you take a picture of your copter in good resolution?

Check that you are set in the correct configuration also? I think if it is set up in + and the software is x the quad could flip or vice versa

When I first upgraded to 2.8.1 I was getting very fast uncontrolled flips on takeoff turned out I had the prop directions reversed, sounds obvious but was scratching my head for a while before I realised.
