Moto & J,
I believe I’ve got the settings correct in the Controller. Its AIL 1[SUP]st[/SUP]. There were just conflicting videos with similar equipment using different settings. I figured before I get the 550 out and flip it too, for a simple TX setting I'd ask.
I also don’t really know that I’d consider it really a “Crash”, more a result of dynamic roll over… It never REALLY left the ground. I’d read before people suggest “popping” it up, vs. a nice slow lift off. I dn’t know if I can bring myself to do that yet. Granted, if I keep beating this thing up I”ll have to try another method. It (the Honey Badger w/the KK2.1) has an OBVIOUS tendency to want to flip. I think giving it more throttle will just give it more momentum IN the flip. Once again, I’m going to have to set that one aside because of the battery issue. That 3s 5000mAh is just too darn big. Once I get my other connectors in, I’ll get it wired up properly. I also need to finish the 550 and go back and check the motor rotation on the HB. It would be ideal to stick to the one that flipped/crashed, but right now I’d just be awaiting parts. I’ve taken good notes and stuck them to the frame so I remember right where I was (check lists basically).
J,
Since you posted that photo again, it got me thinking again. With numerous photos out, videos as well everybody is only using one power wire on each of the ESC and RX side of things. I’ve currently got all my power wires running from the ESCs to the FC and slimmed down on the RX side. There I’ve got 3 or 4 power wires running back to the RX. It seems somewhere I seen a person claiming that you SHOULDN’T use all the power wires from the ESC to the FC. Something about frequency pulses or something? Do you have any info to support this? I can cut the remaining power wires (I’d like to leave x2 in the event the “ONE” craps out and takes all the power with it. Basically a redundant power source if you will. Provided it isn’t causing a problem. Same with the RX.
I appreciate you guys also offering to help with the MultiWii. That thing right now is just too much (labor intensive) researching requirement. It got it to use to learn and experiment, but right now, just getting these things to lift up semi-even is too much of a complication.
One LAST KK question (for this post). I was trying to lift it off the ground, full manual. It occurred to me at some point today, should I have been trying to do it with “Self Leveling” on? It seems to me that may have helped…
