Quadrotor Flips, on Take off

Posted by Corsair on December 12, 2013 at 12:18am

Hello,

After Arming the board, when trying to take off, the vehicle flipped off instantly. Never it went to hovering mode. After giving 15 % throttle, quad flipped .

This is my configuration.

1. DYS 20Amp ESC 

2. KK 2.1 FLight controller with LCD

3. DYS motors with 1000KV, 150W 

4. HK Transmitter & Rx, T6A V2 :

5. Nano Tech Lipo 4s, 4500maH, 35C. 

6. Props 8x4.5

7. "+" Configuration selected from FC board.

I have checked motor connection, rotation direction, prop direction. It appears to be fine. What could be the reason for it Huh?

    The KK controller does have orientation considerations.

    All the normal  checks should be performed:

    • Correct motor direction per arm
    • Correct prop on motor for the direction
    • Correct mounting of prop (up side up)
    • Correct mounting of control pcb and orientation direction
    • Correct wriring of correct motor to control pcb

    Any and all these can be mixed up and cause flipping/control loss.

    I'm not familiar with the KK flight controller. We had the same thing happen with an APM after one of my students moved a few components around to mount a Go-Pro. What turned out to be the problem is the APM was not pointing toward the front of the quad. It has an arrow on the top that says front. I assume the KK (and you know what assuming is) has a special orientation it must be mounted to know what direction is forward. Just a guess.
