The last flight in the F540 before using laser prop balancing tecnique

Some really nice steady flying there! and the views......
You must be really happy with what you have achieved in such a short time!

Thanks Darrell

I an quite pleased. I still have much to learn, especially smooth, slow and gentle flight. There is still some jello but the since I made this, I did the prop balancing using the laser technique - I haven';t had opportunity to fly since.

I also want to get rid of the yaw wobbles.. I still have some trimming to do but need to learn the feel of tweaking the gains...

But one step at a time

Some nice angles there Donald.  It';s fascinating being able to see your local buildings from a totally new angle, is it not?

I am finding it fascinating. Certainly totally different from my other aviation/aerial photography.

The yaw wobble looks like your moving the yaw stick...  I was doing this.. I fly "thumbs" and its easy to do... when adjusting throttle etc... for my AP rig I use a curve for the yaw stick which is very flat round the centre... sorted my issues..

Hey - THANKS for that - I have messed with EXPO but not made it a curve only a flat line from 50% to 50%.  I will really get to grips with the curves.
That yaw wobble was upsetting me. I was wondering if it was the wind & naza fighting it....

Nice bit o filming donald, my only comment has already been mentioned so i wont labour on the yaw thing but i would up the rates that should smooth it out, the standard rate is 200 degrees per second which is way to much for vid work i would reduce it down to as little as 90 degrees per second... Nice to see that you are getting such rewarding results...

Thank you for the kind comment Rob
I am not sure what you mean ';rates'; ... what are they?
You say ';up'; them then you say you would reduce them   90deg/second

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but my other brain cell is confused as well :)

Sorry donald ... I am presuming you are using a naza !!! Forgive me if i am wrong !!! You can adjust the yaw speed in the flight control software, you will need to up the gain values on the yaw option. I cant remember what the default is but i would up it in increments of 20% until you have a nice smooth yaw !!!
