Lebdog replied to Lebdog's discussion DROIDWORX CX4 with Arducopter & FPV"I love this paragraph:
BEFORE EVERY FLIGHT: Before you take off, hold your aircraft in your hands and switch to stabilize mode, then pitch and tilt the plane it to confirm that the control surfaces move the correct way to return it to level flight.…"

Lebdog replied to Lebdog's discussion DROIDWORX CX4 with Arducopter & FPV"The gritty sound is something created by the sound passing though the carbon fiber tubes to the center plates. It's much quieter with props than without for some reason..

Lebdog replied to Lebdog's discussion DROIDWORX CX4 with Arducopter & FPV"I swapped in some APC 12x3.8 props today, I don't need the power of the 12x6 props right now. I ordered these props in glass and carbon fiber. I will only use the carbon ones for display for the most part..Well, I am very happy to…"
Lebdog replied to Lebdog's discussion DROIDWORX CX4 with Arducopter & FPV"Well, I spent some time looking at how I can put another center plate on top of the speed controller/power distributer plate and ended up just using stacked double sided tape. I hope the tape works well for vibration too.After connecting the…"
Lebdog replied to Lebdog's discussion DROIDWORX CX4 with Arducopter & FPV"Ok, well the AVROTO motors are tested with the BL2 ESC, but I am not too impressed with these motors so far. Basically, they are advertised for A/V specialty, yet they make a lot of noise, even without having a prop on them. The…"

Lebdog replied to Lebdog's discussion DROIDWORX CX4 with Arducopter & FPV"Cool, I made a few changes which I saw had worked for someone else's quad airframe, and they seem to be working pretty well for the GAUI500X. I am basically making hops hovering 1-3' and noted a far smoother hover, especially over…"
Lebdog replied to Lebdog's discussion DROIDWORX CX4 with Arducopter & FPV"Well, I guess the inside term is PID values, which I am starting to modify. The GAUI500X has scorpion 960kv motors, and I am running a 3S battery with the factory 10" props. I lowered a few of the factory values a bit and…"
Lebdog replied to Anthony Bee's discussion UAV ADVERTISING LAWS/RULES?"Well, the frisbee football ordinance lasted less than 24hrs. The city was inundated with outraged people of all walks:) Thank goodness 'cause I think that would have been a real problem for the city and anyone in law enforcement.…"
Lebdog replied to Lebdog's discussion DROIDWORX CX4 with Arducopter & FPV"The links above are outdated, here is the tuning link for Ardu2:http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_TweaksIt's amazing how outdated much of the information is, I constantly have to look at comments and search to see if what I have got…"
