My quad flight log

[Tony]

I haven't done anything to quad other than put the rest of the screws in that hold the top plate on. I've fitted the camera today... Hmmm, I'll go try again without the camera....

All the props are ok!

[danhampson]

it could be the extra weight of the camera, all tuning MUST be done in flight configuration, if you change prop pitch re-tune, if you change camera (lighter/heavier) re-tune. I have found that these little quads are very sensitive to changes. You can setup different profiles for different configs ie profile 1 1300mah packs + mobius, profile 2 1300mah packs + gopro ect.

[Tony]

I haven't tuned it though Dan, I've just gone through all the setup procedure following Painless360's first 2 videos... Never mind, it's just one of those things...

[Tony]

update... removing the camera removed 90% of the jerking, finding some better matched props removed another 5% of the vibes.... i still have a little bit when i push the throttle up quickly

[Tony]

anybody got a decent UK supplier for props for this thing...and can you get them balanced and weighed the same as you can with heli ones.

[danhampson]

ive been getting my gemfan 5030's from here. http://www.proflightuk.co.uk/collection ... pack-of-16.

As far as i know you cant get them balanced.

[KevG]

This is where I have been getting my props, not tried the gemfan props

You have to balance them though, as Dan said don't think anyone would sell balanced props

[Tony]

Thanks guys, well I think they should sell them in 4's only and balanced... Lol

Tony you are running the Naze32 now right?

Take a picture and post up a PID screenshot.
Windows has a thing called snipping tool, brilliant for screen shots.

You may need to turn down the level P a bit for a start.
I think default is 9, I now have mine at 6.
And as was said earlier drop the Roll P a couple of points and try again.
I only use angle mode as a panic button now.
If I lose video I will switch on angle mode and hit the throttle.

Also do a search for HQ 5040 props, I find them much better than Gemfan.
Don't get the carbon ones though.

[Tony]

Just booting the lappy up now Stambo and I'll take photo of PID's

[Tony]

Yes I've got the Full naze32, here are PID's, these are all default except for P on roll and pitch, I was slowly dropping them and testing, so far not making a difference. With the camera off it flies OK

Just to add to that the defaults for P on roll and pitch were at 4...

[KevG]

What loop time are you running, if stock try changing it to 2500, in cli tab put "set looptime = 2500" without the quote marks and see if that makes a diff

[KevG]

I followed Oscarliang.net set up guide for mini quad and mines been pretty good

[Tony]

I'll give that a go now Kev, have you got a link for oscars guide...

[KevG]

Here you go tony

[KevG]

He says running a lower looptime means you will be able to run higher pid values

[Tony]

I've changed it to 2500 and it's made a big difference, less wobble. I done a short vid so we can get some idea of what the changes are doing... Uploading to YT now. Thanks Kev

[Tony]

here is the video, PID's are as pic above and ive changed looptime to 2500
