"You have several instances of GPS failsafe 1 (loss of lock for 5 seconds) and one GPS failsafe 2 (glitch). Where were you flying? It lost all satellites for a bit."
"This may not be your issue at all, but it worked for me. I had a large quad that kept yawing to the right (clockwise) on take-off. After months of pulling my hair out I found out that it was because the integral term in the PIDs was too low in…"
"RCOUT is showing no issues. So glad that is fixed. Wind was hitting it head on at the beginning, that's why 1 and 3 are lower."

Klayt Morfoot I'd like to share my experience with KDE Direct 4014XF motors and their matched 55A+ ESCs. So far, every flight has shown extremely low vibrations. I haven't seen IMU measurements from other motors with in-flight vibrations this low. I think the…
"My issue was too low an integral term. I have the quad flying great with maxed out P and D, and I = 0.250. Thanks for the tutorial btw, its an awesome resource."
"Solved: As another post on the exact same issue (CW motors running hotter) proved, it was just the PID tuning. The integral term was far too low in proportion.
Current values:
P: 0.20 (max)
I: 0.250 (exact middle of allowed values)
D: 0.02 (max)…"

decent PIDs for flamewheel 450

Klayt Morfoot Decent values. Weighs about 3lb 7oz. using an APM 2.6 clone, 3.5Ah 3S battery, 1000KV 2830 RC Timer motors with 10x4.7 plastic props, 30A Afro ESCs.
Hello all. I have a quadcopter with a Pixhawk. I have it powered via USB, connected to Mission Planner. The false horizon screen is showing a constant altitude drift of about 4 meters. The quad is sitting on a desk next to the computer, completely…
"Did the PID tuning resolve your issue?"
"Hello,
I just saw your PID tutorial today and am going to do it this weekend. I am wondering if you have any thoughts on whether the issue I'm having sounds like it could be the PIDs.
I have been dealing with a yaw/CW motor issue for a while now.…"

I have a Kongcopter fq700 frame, KDE Direct 4014XF motors matched with their 55A ESCs, 16x5.4 Tiger Motor props, Pixhawk with v3.3.2. I have a Betview 2-axis gimbal with the W-BGC Pro alexmos controller. I had one crash and have since replaced the…
"Well it was pretty straight forward. RFD has an RFD900 to Pixhawk cable at the link below.

"I just bought a pair of these radios and will be connecting them this week so I'll be in touch. Wow, this community is a bit quiet sometimes. Did you get yours in the air?"
