Ok some back story, I am a noob to multirotors but really want to fly one. I built a Flitetest H-Quad, DT-750s, Redbrick 30 esc's, 2200 3s turnigy and the famous KK2 board flashed with 1.6 firmware. I am useing and older Futaba 6 ch with a tactic anylink conversion, the radio is a non computerized one so I am limited to what adjusting I can do. I quickly figured out that I needed some expo but not having that luxury I chose to set up a 50% low rate on my dual rate switches for aileron and elevator I dont have dual rates for rudder and I was getting along with it anyhow.
Ok that should give you enough background, I was just getting to the piont where I could hover and was starting to work on moving how and when I wanted to. Sunday I was out with the quad it had gotten up to about 25 feet high and had drifted over my house. I began working on getting it back over the yard gave it some aileron to slid it over and it suddenly dropped its left side and promptly fell out of the sky I had only been up for about 2-3 minutes. I retrieved it finding somewhat minor damage made the repairs and came back out agian that evening again about 2-3 minutes of flying and it did it agian from about 20 feet up. So I am running all kinds of reasons through my head, none making sence to me, again no major damage, began repairs again left it until the next morning to try again. I went out again in the morning and had the same results yet again only this time I was only 6 feet up so no damage this time. Well I had no time to worry about it then off to work I go. I puzzeled over it all day to no avail. Well I just went out again tonight and was out flying up a storm finally getting comfortable with it did some basic manuvers everything seemed great I had been up the longest yet and was doing great when suddenly, yep here we go again, it does a sideways summersalt and down it comes. So once again out comes the glue and ply and the repairs begin again. By the way I was on auto level during every incedent and the battery voltage was never too low.
So here are my thoughts, is it possible the KK board cant handle the reduced rates? I have ordered a new radio, Turnigy 9X so I can dial in expo among other things. Could auto level not be handleing it, the lowered rates, I have to use it as I am not good enough yet to fly without it. Could it be a bad board? I have a couple of new ones on thier way from HK. I will be honest and say I dont know for a fact that it always dropped the same side but I think so. Could I be haveing ESC problems? Could it be a problem with the new flash, I have looked around and cant find any mention of anyone having a similar problem.
Someone please help I really want this to work. Thanks
