    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    After rebalancing the props it would seem I've greatly reduced my vibrations. The single max vibe in my test flight was 1.3 and most look to be under .7. I also turned the gains up in the software across the board from 1.0 to 1.1. Moto I set the center point on the gain knob to 1530 as you...

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    The vibes are there with one battery and no gimbal, and with the full setup (gimbal and two 5000mAh lipos).

    I will adjust my prop balancing technique to be more like this. You stop the blade and if it does NOT move, then it is balanced.

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    Thanks for the help kloner. I've admired those videos previously. I don't hear any ticking or any oscillations from the motors/esc's. I'm still flying on the default FC configuration settings. It seems to be flying fairly well and when I hover it next to me looks good. My first big bird...

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    10-4 on that. Do you think running the bird at -18% gain would explain some excessive vibration?

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    So this is the gain knob. Strange that the profile I got from Drew would be off. Perhaps that explains why when I tweaked it the damn bird got really wobbly. I'll try messing with this tonight.

    That would be GREAT.

    Yes the G in the black box is at -18%.

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    Woa wait a sec. I'm trying to solve some vibration issues with my SuperX/Zhaohun/Taranis and ran across this. I just looked at my logs and guess what? All my gains are at -18%. Might that make a difference on vibration if I get my gains set to 0%?

    XAircraft SuperX with Arris Zhaoyun Gimbal

    I'm starting a thread for the setup of a SuperX & Arris Zhaoyun 3-Axis gimbal for troubleshooting my setup. I've now done my 2nd flight with this setup and now working on making the video usable. Right now it is vibrating very bad. Not jello like a GoPro, but straight up jumping. The video...

    ARRIS ZHAOYUN Brushless Gimbal

    Alright I've had my first in-air test of the Zhaoyun. The video is completely bad. No jello but completely bouncing all over the place, mostly up and down it seems. I can post a clip if that would help anyone with a diagnosis. Here's the setup. I've put a Canon S95 in the Zhaoyun since I don't...

    XAircraft Speed differences between GPS and ATTI/Manual?

    So that means yes. Yeah I'm taking my time and making sure I'm confident in what I'm doing. Speaking of GPS/ATTI I switched to GPS from ATTI when the bird was moving pretty fast. The hex amazingly slammed on the brakes to a full stop in what seemed like less than a second. I don't imagine...

    XAircraft Speed differences between GPS and ATTI/Manual?

    I've got about 10 flights under my belt now with my Tarot T960/SuperX/Taranis combo. A few flights in I've started to get more adventurous by flying in ATTI mode (baby steps) and have yet to do much in manual. I have noticed that there's a big difference in vehicle speed and pitch between GPS...

    Phantom max operating altitude

    I flew my Phantom 1.2 taking off at about 8,400 feet and going up 200-300. No difference in performance at all.

    ARRIS ZHAOYUN Brushless Gimbal

    Got my Zhaoyun installed on my Tarot T960 last night. The supplied plate isn't quite wide enough so each ring only has one screw. May order the new plate. I have yet to wire it up yet. I don't have a NEX camera so I put my Canon S95 in for fun. We will see what happens.

    XAircraft SuperX

    Best to stick to the SuperX manual steps by the letter. Skipping any of it (like I did a couple of times) breaks the process and your setup will not work.

    XAircraft Black Box site down???

    Word. That's why I said "supposedly." :black_eyed:

    XAircraft Black Box site down???

    Yup I do need to check/balance my props, though they're supposedly pre-balanced. Motors are level. I put levels on the FC and motors so I'm fairly sure they're good, but need to be checked often.

    XAircraft Black Box site down???

    Vibes are something I have yet to address, but from the looks of it I have an issue. I'm fluctuating up to 1.9.

    XAircraft Black Box site down???

    Yeah site was down for me, but today it is back up. I have some logs to look at! Got about 8 flights now.
