Good day friends,
I've completed the V2.6HV by David, and its to the point where Im trying to get it airborne. I can hover, somewhat, but so far the drift is far too crazy for me to be able to fly it properly. My most recent sessions resulted in two broken Rotor Bone motor mounts, and a lot of broken Delrin.
Adjusting my P and I gains is virtually impossible if I can't keep the thing steady long enough.
So, while I wait for new parts to arrive, I want to work on a new approach.
What further steps are necessary to ensure a Tri is going to be as stable as possible - before you even throttle up, so that when it does go up, and you focus on those PI settings?
So far I have:
- Balance Props (Done)
- Balance Motors (Ongoing)
- Finding the CoG (Ongoing, waiting for new motor mounts)
- Vibration dampening foam pads on all sensitive bits (Done)
What I'd like to know:
- Getting the craft as absolutely level as possible for sensor calibration (KK2.0). Does anyone have any hints/tips/tricks? Im thinking the use of a bubble level and shims. How does this work, and how will it affect stability/drift in the air?
Any other helpful hints anyone has on how to get a tri or any multirotor as stable in the air as possible would be great. I'd like to spend more time flying, and less time looking for broken pieces in the grass.
Thanks so much, and sorry if this has all be asked a million times. Thanks to David for the design, and the whole FliteTest crew for making this all possible.
