Wake up! Time to fly!
Anyone who keeps up with what I do knows the end of last season I fried a new build I was setting up and had very close to dialed in for racing. The build thread is here https://forum.flitetest.com/index.p...quads-a-complete-walk-thru.56770/#post-463449 . I had been lazy and skipped my preflight checks ONCE since it flew great the evening before. I ended up having loose and lost motor screws which in turn over worked EVERYTHING. Needless to say two motors and an expensive esc later I earned myself the magic poof of smoke.
Moral of this pro-log.... DONT BE A LAZY #$%&@#$% and check your gear before each session.
So over winter and thru most of spring I gathered the parts needed to rebuild. I couldnt sleep a few nights ago because it was over 95 degrees at 2 am here so I started breaking down the Mach 1 to do a damage assessment of what was needed. It was just what I needed to push away this really foul and depressed mood I have been in this entire year so far. I managed to tear it all down. Clean and sand the paint I was ehhh on and repaint it a brighter metalic purple instead of the gurly bathroom lavender color the other paint turned out to be. That cured for a day and a half until last night.
I woke up around 1:30 am just sweating and all uncomfortable. I started watching some Deep Space 9 I have been doing my 18 month binge re-watching and it wasn't holding my attention. I checked on the frame paint and it felt solid enough to handle without leaving marks so I decided to throw on the new motors to see how they looked. Two and a half hours later I was holding a completed quad and looking for the usb cable to do the basic set up.
As it sits I is now configured with
Racedayquads Mach1 frame.
Dal F722 Dual gyro flight controller
Dal Rocket 45 45 amp 4 in one esc
Catalyst Machine Works Cannonball v2 2406 2330kv motors
Dal Cyclone 5046 tri blades
Iflight Force 5804 vtx
Runcam Microswift 2 camera
Lumenieer Axii stubby antenna
Ummagrip battery pad.
Today I burned 9 packs tweaking PIDS and rates and this was the second to last flight of the day as the changes I made went too far and I induced oscillations more in hard turns then I was trying to lessen the minor ones in this flight. You can see what a lot of the settings I use are as I now have smart audio set up and not changing things in Lua scripts like before due my lack of knowledge at the time how to set it up properly.
So as of this flight It is off to a great start as it runs far cooler with ZERO betaflight filtering just PID adjustments on higher pitch props and is starting to get to where I will have to up the camera tilt back to 85 degrees again to keep from looking at nothing but grass. I also have to relearn how to land again as I been flying low tilt cine style on various quads this year on the times I did manage to find motivation to actually fly. Ill post a new thread on my 3 inch build I been messing with this year.
