Re: Lee's 250 quad flights
Thanks guys,
@ Stambo
The oscillation was not enough dampning, because I had just swapped over to the 5x4 Bullnose props.
Loved the pop they had, but do need different tuning from the HQ 5x4 Plastic props I had on there, as they are so much stiffer.

Re: Lee's 250 quad flights
Cool videos Lee:) I see what you mean about the wobble:( To me it looked like you dropped height quickly, which looks like propwash, so Stambo may have a good point about the blades?

Re: Lee's 250 quad flights
After weeks of wind, we have a three day slot of calm, before it starts again.
Heres the first flight.
Had to change back to the HQ 5x4s as I broke one of my bullnose due to video signal loss

Re: Lee's 250 quad flights
Thanks Dan,
The wobble was with the 5045s.
Just got back from flying tonight. The 5040s are running nicely.
Upped the roll D gain a touch, could do with a couple more clicks to get the bump out when doing fast rolls.
I'm running around at 100% most of the time, which is leaving me with no headroom for yaw.
Quad starts torquing at full chaff
Just ordered a new frame. Gonna be 4S for sure. Would like 6S if I could find the motors

Re: Lee's 250 quad flights
What frame have you ordered? 4s is the way forward for mini quads, but its not for beginners unless there bonkers like me lol.Lee wrote:Thanks Dan,

Re: Lee's 250 quad flights
Its the Pro version of the RCX250 frame I have now.
There is a link on my RCX250 thread.
I would love to try 6S, as I could use my Warp360 packs

Re: Lee's 250 quad flights
looks a lot better mate, if your running near 100% throttle all the time you need more cells or bigger props or both

Cool flying Lee, that's a fast quad...

Re: Lee's 250 quad flights
Got the new RCX 250 Pro finished today.
Just had a quick test flight on 3S, with stock settings.
Pretty dull controls, but, I'll get to tuning it tomorrow.
