Im having trouble with the throttle on my octo.

I battle to hover it. Im only moving the throttle 1mm or less at a time but the thing keeps bobbing.

Is there anything I can do or do I just need more practice?

Thanks

@glen, it worked perfectly! remeber to always calibrate your radio in mp/cli with default radio settings.

Any settings on the radio are pretty much neutralised by the radio calibration I think.

I have a seperate model setup on my TX specifically for radio calibrations.

@eagle123, I did calibrate the escs, took me about an hour and a half, lots of beeping waiting etc.

Thanks for all the advice guys! Much appreciated! :)

if your transmitter allows this, you could set expo around the hover position, so it will react in smaller increments...

how much throttle do you need to hover?
