Hi everybody ....
i have just finished my scorpion Y650 with Keda 1050kv 9x6 props motors hobbywing 20a esc and Naza controler.

a couple of questions :
when i start the motors the 2 on the right hand arm need alot more throttle to get moving . any ideas please ?

and the other question is :
the total weight is 1490g , would my setup be upto lifting the Y6 ?

cheers darren

Did you do the throttle calibration on your ESCs? If you did maybe it didn't take for those two ESCs?

just a thought could it be due to the battery ? i had a 2200 3s 20c pack on ..

Calibration of the throttle end points is not done with the card. :)
  • Remove the props from the motor unless you want less fingers.
  • Connect the ESC directly to the throttle channel on your RX.
  • Put the throttle at 100% on your TX
  • Power up your ESC and RX.
  • You'll hear a few beeps (see manual because some ESC's are different, some if you wait too long you enter programming mode)
  • Then turn the thorttle down to 0% (again see the manual for when you should put the throttle down) and you'll hear the arming beeps.
  • Now you're calibrated. Repeat for each ESC
This tells the ESC what the throttle range values are of your TX and if you do it for every ESC then they are all on the same page. The flight control system trys to compensate a little but if they are way out of whack you'll have trouble like you explain.
