Hey guys,
I am having difficulty in getting my SK450 Dead Cat to take off. Even at maximum throttle, it does not lift off. I am running AC 2.9.1
According to xCopter Calc, it should hover at around 65% throttle.
My Setup:
- SK 450 + Dead Cat conversion kit : http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=25884
- Turnigy D2836/9 950 kV motors :http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=18968
- MultiStar 30A ESCs : http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=27776
- SF 10x4.5 : http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=25819
- Nanotech 4500mAh 3S Battery : http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=11931
- APM 2.5
- No telemetry (My XBee got fried :( )
I have checked and rechecked my propeller direction and motor connections through CLI motor test . I have also auto-calibrated the ESCs, re-calibrated them manually and redone radio calibration through MP repeatedly.
I have also tried to balance the copter, but am not exactly sure where the CG should be.
Total weight before takeoff is approximately 1400gms. I am not sure if its too heavy to lift off.
Can anyone please suggest how can I get it to atleast hover. I am just 14 and have spent a lot of money on this, and now I am feeling really frustrated that it cannot even takeoff. Is this due to the large battery?
Thanks in advance,
Kabir
