G+_Andrew Schwenk Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 If at first you don't succeed, try try again. A few weeks ago my hopes and dreams were shattered when I found out my 250 was too heavy. So, I ordered a 450 frame with 9 inch props, and June, 2nd I finally got my parts. Yesterday on the 4th I took it out to my buddy's farm and tested it. On the left is the first flight, didn't turn out so well. I ended up losing a motor cap, and washer. I was devastated, but we found a washer and a nut to replace it. And after swapping all the motors so they wouldn't unscrew in flight, I finally flew it for real (right video). Thank's for all the advice you guys have given me! I can see that it was all well worth the wait, so excited to start building more quads, and I can't wait to learn more about them. By the way, when I yaw (pivot or pirouette) my quad seems to tilt an absurd amount making it almost impossible to funnel or axis change. Could this be fixed by a remote setting? Or a KK setting? Also, I've been messing with the PI settings in the PI Editor tab, my quad is very lethargic and sometimes it takes off in one direction sharply giving me absolutely no time to react or correct due to it's slowness. Is it possible to set up different flight modes? I can't figure it out on my remote, but I think it has three flight modes, FN, F1, F2. Thanks, Andrew Schwenk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Michael Heinz Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 So, at first blush your stick sensitivity settings are waaaayyyy too high and you weren't flying with any kind of self-leveling turned on. What controller are you using? I only know the KK, so you'll have to let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_610GARAGE Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Congratulations on your first successful flight. You may need to reset your PI settings. I had similar issues, so I just reset the flight controller and started over which fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Andrew Schwenk Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Michael Heinz sorry for the confusion. I thought it was more clear that the propeller flew off. The motors were threaded the wrong way and the motor cap came off in air, that's why it crashed. I have the Airtronics Aquila-6 btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Andrew Schwenk Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 610bob You think that will fix my yaw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_610GARAGE Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Andrew Schwenk No, that would fix the quad taking off in one direction and you not being able to correct it due to it being slow. I believe this is do to an out of balance PI settings. No matter how lethargic it is, you should still have enough power to correct. The kk does have profiles, if you want to go with that, but I would get the quad flying well, then start messing with that stuff. What Michael Heinz said would most likely fix your yaw. Assuming you are using the KK, the default is to have self level off. So when you yaw, as long as you hold down the stick, the quad will yaw more and more, when you release the stick, that quade will stay in position. Also, if you haven't, you need to calibrate the onboard sensors by placing the quad on a level surface, and goning to sensor calibration in the menus.

G+_Andrew Schwenk Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 610bob Is there somewhere I could find out more about the KK profiles? And about the self level, it says that it is on, and I've already done the ACC Calibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_610GARAGE Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 This should give you all the info you need regarding profiles. Page 14. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uploads/161447249X30206X38.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
