Trying to accomplish my first flight with my recently built DJI 550.
The craft wants to lift off at varying angles and not come up straight. I have not had a successful take off yet. Flipped it over a couple of times. :-(
I know there are lots of variables which could be causing this. Props are on correctly and motors turn the right direction.
I have Graupner props but decided to install them later... when I have more experience... and the risk is lower.
I currently have the larger DJI props installed but will be switching to the smaller ones... for more control?
BTW I have home made legs (fiberglass rods) cable tied to the stubby arm legs. I plan to remove them prior to my next attempt since they seem to increase the risk of breaking arms on a rough landing.
Any tips or advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
