Any Hoverfly pilot here experience this???
I see lots of stabilized videos on the net but no one is videoing and flying around at the same time (eg. following a motorcross circuit).
My camera stabilization wanders badly - but so does the AL perception of the board when flying.
This video used firmware 3.1.458 but it behaves the same on 3.1.460 and the last 2.x firmware.
Green board, 4S.
Mount setup as 200 roll, 130 tilt, 1500 center.
Board gain set as main 80, AL 60.
Temperature Cal done
gyro cal done using spirit-levels.
The model flies (manual control) very well - but the camera mount movement and stabilization trim change are no good.
The AL (atitude Level / attitude stabilization) is perfect if I want to hover on the spot.
The AL trim moves and this makes it impossible to fpv the machine. An experienced model pilot is used to flying with partial stick to keep a model trimmed in wind but fpv is different as the model wont stay level after every turn until it re-balances 10 seconds later.
Do I have a board problem or are others experiencing similar issues? There are lots of these boards in successful AP machines. I have been flying AP for 5 years and rc for 25 years. If I have missed something basic, please tell me as while it flies (manually) great, the AL / camera stab is a no go for me and after spending many hours getting this far, I am ready to jump on it...
Confused - watch the video and listen to the commentary...
