after 4 minutes fly time not able to hover/fly anymore?

Posted by Mike Rafalski on July 27, 2013 at 10:07am

Hello,

I used a kk2 board with my tricopter (windestal design). I got 15 minutes fly time.

Now with the apm2.5, with the newest software, i can fly for 4 minutes and then it needs more and more throttle to stay airborne...???

Any settings wrong or what?

Thank you so much for your tine and help!

Mike

    The flight Time and the throttle control was better now, but still only 6:40...
    The parameter throttleTrim was back to 720...?!?

    Here was it raining the whole day, so I have to wait for the tests.
    Thank you

    Post your parameter file please - save the file from the MP > Software > Advanced Params tab.

    This is going to be interesting.

    If nothing is set wrong, then the only explanation is the energy put out to stabilize the copter.

    What mode were your flying?  Photo? Did you tune?
