Ok so I tried to launch tonight.
All of the PIDs are stock and the only thing I have not calibrated are the ESCs in the mission planner. Considering I actually got off the ground with the try makes me think it isnt necessary. Every video and guide I have seen the things will at least launch and be slightly unstable.
This thing wants to close one of the front arms which I can not even move when it is not flying. Weird since the ones on the flight test video seemed so stable.
When I give the thing throttle it bobbles around. I have full GPS lock and all. I tried cranking the throttle at full and it just bobbled around rapidly until one of the rear right propellers started smacking the ground and unscrewed itself.
This is insane. Followed every direction to the T and this thing still will not make it off the ground.
Beginning to think this whole custom multirotor thing is a scam.
