My ACM2 Hexicopter X first fly test

3689415802?profile=original

This is the first fly test of my first Hexicopter X build.
I use ACM2.0.33 code with the defaut PIDs setting.
It seems roll and pitch PIDs are overshot to it.
RTL heading angle is about too sharp either.
Each arm length is 30 cm (60 cm axis to axis).
Will try to fine tune PIDs to make it better.
My 50cm arm length Tricopter can fly well w/o modifying default PIDs.
So I personally like Tricopter better, easier build and not much tuning.
But this hexi can fly about 10 minutes and gives me a chace to try PIDs tuning.

  • My Tricopter can fly about 6-7 minutes by using the same 2200 mAH Lipo.

    What flight time do you get on your Tricopter?  I'm running 5000Mah battery pack and I get about 7-10 mins of hovering before I recharge, and my charger shows that its charged 3500Mah
