Yeah there has to be some common sense. I have not tried my FC in any other locale so I don't have anything to compare it to but since it seems to work well where it is, I'm not messing with it. It has flown well in two very different configurations as far as the COG of the bird goes. First I...

Not "unused" but useless. They're on the end of the round CF tube which goes into the cap which attaches to the body, where the hinge is.

I've read the best place is right in the center of gravity of the bird. Others say perhaps mounting it on the same plane as the motors/blades. Here's where mine is, right on the level of the top plate, which is right in line with the motors/props. This placement seems to have worked well on...

I removed arm #5 last night. Had to desolder motor/esc/led to get it off, which is a pain. There are some useless threads at the part of the arm where the body connector is. Anyway I epoxied the arm yesterday and will put a small screw/pin in today. It is going to be tough putting the arm...

Just check out this video as per your suggestion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQZJHey6oFU#t=675 and the time is around 10:10. HOWEVER, that applies to the motor mounts slipping. Mine are not. The WHOLE ARM is rotating, so the slippage is where the arm attaches to the body.

Yeppers.

Noticed the motor on one of the T960 foldable arms was not level. Thought the motor mount was loose but it was not. The whole arm moves. Where the arm attaches to the body is where it is slipping. I can easily rotate the arm.

Followup to last post. Had a great flight last night which produced nearly flawless video in some aggressive flying. But upon examination of the bird at my desk, I noticed on arm is slipping. Grounded until further notice. May need to pin the arms somehow or epoxy/glue them. Suggestions...

I have a T960 (same center plates as the 810) and just noticed one of my arms slipping. Bad bad bad. Any thoughts on preventing this? It is arm #5, so one of the foldable arms. I don't want to have to take this thing apart to fix it, but if need be I will. Grounded until further notice.

This is a duplicate post, but in case anyone is troubleshooting the same setup (Tarot T960, SuperX, Zhaoyun Gimbal) here you go: Well big news today. Moving my gimbal to the middle of the COG and batteries to the top of the bird made THE difference in my vibes and performance. Most vibes are...

Well big news today. Moving my gimbal to the middle of the COG and batteries to the top of the bird made THE difference in my vibes and performance. Most vibes are .2 or less and the video has NO wobbles or jello. Once in a while the props or arms show up in the image, so perhaps I need to...

What does that all mean? My last two flights have been with all gains at 1.2, and finally the G knob is at dead zero on my taranis.

Wow your settings are quite different than mine. My P and I are much higher than yours and the D is a few ticks lower. Your power levels are lower as well. Yes I suspected such a procedure for the NEX focus. That's a total pain, but if it works then great. The menuing system versus actual...

I'm fairly new to the hobby, but have read extensively. I'm running two 5000mAh Pulse batteries on my hexa. Pulse tells me not to go below 3.7 volts, but many go down much lower. I've been listening to them and as soon as my Taranis tells me 3.7, I land. Usually they're in the high 3.7's...

Took me a while to get around to trying this but BINGO. I set my range to -20 and +20 and the center at 1530. The G position when centered now shows as 0% on the log. Either side is roughly to 100% give or take a few percentage points. I bumped my gain up to 1.2 tonight and did a test...

Solid looking bird. Compact but still a hex. I like it. Thanks for the response. Question for you: I've been tweaking the PID's, mainly lowering them which helped along with the softer dampening balls. But you suggest the harder ones and more precise PIDs... I know yours will not be a...

Forget the last post. The gimbal is made for the NEX. Now I've got one and it is MUCH better, but still some vibrations. No jello. The 16-50 lens my NEX5-T came with makes the camera fall forward so it isn't balanced on the gimbal. The gimbal seems to handle it, but I wonder if that would...

Haven't flown for nearly two weeks. Been busy and traveling. I flew tonight though, after installing some LED's and the T960 Zhaoyun mounting plate. More solid mount for the gimbal now. I have some vibration but no jello. Also the NEX5 didn't seem to be focused. Maybe because it was dusk...

Agree. I'd like to see a side view in the folded position, and like to know what the folded dimensions are.

These props (balanced) are Tarot 1755's. 17.5 inch. I did notice a difference after properly balancing them. The biggest difference though was moving to softer vibration dampening balls. I have the camera moved forward to try to keep the arms and blades out of the photo/video. I suppose...
