Rotors in reverse

[officerdibble]

Noob here:shame:, just getting into this modelling thing and it's fascinating.

Build~:- X650 Frame; AKE12A ESC's; DJI Wookong; HiTec Optima 7; with 4No Xaircraft Motors.

The model has been built to the Xaircraft X650 manual, for all the good it was. I have checked all connections and configs but the rotors are going in reverse. Changing the propeller blades results in very unstable flight, I am certain that it must be something daft that I have missed.

Not got it off the ground yet, I would like to and if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

just swap two of the motor wires.

Thanks for your assistance, it now tries to set off but there appears to be no stability as it just flips over.?????

When they flip over this generally means you have a motor connected to the wrong motor port , On WKM Quad X config , Motor 1 is 1 oclock , M2 is 11oclock , M3 is 7 oclock, M4 is 5 oclock I think this is the same as Xaircraft anyway , But I would double check you have motors into right connections and also check on assistant software in the TX Cali menu that everything is doing as it should , ie throttle goes from left to right , Aileron goes from centre to right when you push right , Elevator goes from centre upwards when you push up .. And rudder moves from centre to right when you push right , You can click reverse on the menu if any channel is not going the correct way.

Also make sure your 3 modes of flight are lighting up , Manual , Atti , Gps these should all go blue when selected and fly in atti mode unless you really want to do stunt flying in manual.

Hope you get it sorted , I don't think you got it from me but feel free to give me a call any day after boxing day if your still having problems.

Can you show use some fotos of the build ? Are you sure that your mounting data in the config for imu orientation is correct ? Motor spinning direction is 100% correct now and props are on the right way. Take a foto copter top back view so we can see it all.

Thanks Chaps

I reversed the rotors as response No1. the IMU was 90 degrees out and after this was corrected my first test flight went pretty bloody well.

Thanks Chaps
