It really does seem that the ESC is a major part of the issue, but I think since the ESC manufacturer specifically recommends NOT to calibrate, might be worth ruling everything else out.

Couple things.... Definitely do the stick cal in the Taranis. This makes sure that the sticks are all calibrated and working correctly. Secondly, if you are hovering at 30%, you are way overpowered. You might need to look into balancing the power to weight ratio with some different props...

Couple more quick questions: Have you done the stick cal in the Taranis? What flight mode are you in while testing in the air? Also, when you see issues at 30%, are you hovering at 30%??? When you say throttle/motors works ok on the bench, does this mean you don't see the motors start at...

It's weird. I had the opposite issue. The smaller gimbal seemed to have a harder time than the larger, heavier setup. Good luck with the new rig.

I think the best thing to do at this point is to strip it back and proceed as simple as possible. First, make sure you have the most recent firmware version. Second, remove all motor connections except the Pitch motor. Power up the gimbal with the battery, and then connect to the computer. I...

Hey Paul, Welcome to Multirotorforums.com! Sounds like you may have a couple things going on. First, what radio are you using? Also, was this FC purchased from ReadytoflyQuads? Which GUI have you chosen to interface with the computer? Have you checked to see if there are firmware updates...

Welcome Chris. I think you'll find some great folks hanging here at MRF. Have fun and fly safe!

Have you contacted HK to see if they can point you in the right direction for the type of co roller it is? Also, they may be able to tell you the firmware that is flashed at the factory. I know hey are notorious for bad CS, but it's worth a shot? Before you messed with the PIDs, did you...

In ATTI mode or GPS?

There are many mentions of these flips. I don't think hey can all be written off - but I also think that many things get blamed on the FC before thorough investigation is done. I've flown Naza's for many, many hours and not had any flip of death. I did however have one when the PDB sh*t the...

The firmware will dictate the beep sequence. If they are SimonK - that will be the most familiar sequence these days. And once the throttle is down and you get the beeps back. You're done. @cootertwo is right. Research the ESCs you have and the firmware being used. Various firmware means...

Yep. Since you're going to be in there - check ALL connections. No need to get the motor connections perfect only to lose it again on some other missed connection. You're in there, check 'em all.

Mostly it would fly twitchy and be less controllable. The 50% throttle for hover rule of thumb allows you to have enough juice in reserve if you need it for climbing out of a situation - but also gives you half the throttle stick throw to get you up to hover. If you're very overpowered, the...

I think the handheld is a different beast altogether. Not necessarily easy, but easier. I've had gimbals that never worked aerial actually look ok in basic handheld/ground tests. I think if you're having the auto-tune failure issues - it may be binding/resistance at one (or more of the axis)...

I would check them out visually when you solder the new parts. Then fire it up on the bench and put it through its paces (props off!!!!).

Yes, they are. And the red should be in front of the craft, the green in the rear - so green facing you when you lift off.

Sorry, I was just talking about the orientation LEDs. They should be Green in the front and red in the rear.

I think ideally you would have a bird built specifically for each application, but that's not to say you can't figure out how to have 1 handle both chores. I think the key would be to find motors capable of handling various size props that would keep you in a healthy thrust range for both...

I think that thing should have LEDs in both the front and rear. Green int he front and red in the rear.

Of course! Let us know how you make out.
