@ Ken I am sorry if your thread got hijacked slightly here.. You have done so much in such a short period of TIME. I would be interested to know your solution for power distribution to the esc's.

Hi Geoff,
i would understand if you guys don't want to share, but were abouts have you guys set your basic and attitude gain ?
The couple flights I did were in 100% for all flying nicely in no wind, and I did some tuning with X2 and X3 but not getting anywhere since no wind.
People in rcgroups starting to state that its actual the basic gain that has to be low to have a more floaty touch to the bird in the wind. I always though it was the attitude one has to go down with.
I think i am just gonna get the CS gimbal I am so sick of the AVs constantly having to take it apart check screws etc etc on some days for what ever reason working better than on other, just not consistence in them.
Thanks
Boris
Ken which axis are you using ? I am a little worried about the low KV of the QCs and the Torx motors in combo with the WKM. Are you going to stay with 4s ?
Initial Settings used were in the 130's with approx 150 on Yaw and 140 on Altitude . These are figures of memory as the cinestar is not with me at the moment.
Attitude reduced to 85% but might need to play with this a bit more.
Also throttle curve adjusted to give a steeper curve , Expo was at 45% but that felt a little tame with attitude at 85% .
It was very gusty on the maiden , we get all the nice weather here but hoping for more testing and tweaking in the next day or so .

Using very low KV valued motors(around 450-500 KV) with a 4s battery are somewhat not very practical for multirotors. You will need to put very big prop on lower KV motor to get the same amount of lift that you can get with higher KV/smaller prop.
This means:
* You will need longer arms in order to avoid prop collision.
* You will have hard time finding big prop with CW/CCW combination.
I'd go for a motor lower than 550-600KV if 4s battery is going to be used. (In my case, I have lots of 4s batteries so I can't afford 5s/6s battery at this time).
For instance, I'm running Tiger Motor MT2826 /KV550 on a Y6 setup. I had to put 15x6 prop to get a 5.8 AUW copter fly comfortably. With 13x6 prop, I had to put the gas to %85 to hover it which is not very nice.
Hello Garry,
I was trying to give some extra info incase beginners are reading these topics
Cheers.
I too am right behind you Ken. My CS 6 frameset was shipped yesterday. I'm going to try a 6s setup, if I can find the right motors and ESCs. BTW, which ESCs are you using? Also, what props again? What is the MtM distance on this beast?
Anyway, yours is looking great. I can't wait to see how it flies.
