I have(had) a F550 with a Futaba T8J.
I had a 6000 mah battery on it, a Canon EOSM (400 grams) with a 12mm Rokinon F2.0 lens (400 grams). AUW was somewhere around 2000 grams. I have a 600 gram gimbal that I've wanted to fly with but it's just too heavy and can't justify risking it.
The last several flights I've had when coming down, it would oscillate like crazy, most when it got about 10-15 feet off the ground. I would throw it out of gps mode and go into altitude mode and if that didn't correct, full manual. It was only on decent. And I was conscious about coming down slowly so I'm not sure why it kept happening...
Needless to say I need a new bird.
The motors are fine (I think), but I want to upgrade those anyway. I hope I can reuse the ESC's on my next one as I don't know how to tune it (yet). I want a bigger frame that can take 11's or 12's and fold up.
What would you do in this case? I see those cool fold up frames, not sure if any of them are any good, but they look cool and would make sense.
