Collective Pitch HT-FPV

[gearwolf]

This isn't all too exciting since I haven't tried inverted flight but it has to start somewhere. The frame is a stock Hoverthings HT-FPV frame. No modifications, just modules. enjoy

The awesome potential here is more control authority when descending.

Nice work!

Thanks. I hope it works out great inverted. I like to consider it the swappable for multirotors. Maybe flitetest could do a build video lol. It would be a little tougher to make though. I also want to test a motor failure on a quad and see if it can fly/glide down.

Now THAT would be impressive. It would take a change in the programming for the board to control that.

The board that I'm using can pretty much do that already. You program the mixes of how it should stabilize and I'm pretty sure the only thing it will have trouble with is compensating for yaw since only three motors in the same plane are spinning. I don't know if prop loading which is how that system controls yaw will be able to successfully control it will maintaining proper thrust. I might put it on a helicopter test stand to see what it does.
