multirotor f550 drift problems

[cookie]

Hi
I am a new member so here is some information about my self.
I am retired heavy truck mechanic.
I used to fly fixed wing and 30 size helicopters
I live in Scotland in fife

This is my first encounter with this type of machine,I have already built it,set it up on the computer and had a test flight.
The operating system is dji m lite naza everything to set the f550 up was copied from u tube.

The problem is that in attitude mode and in g.p.s mode it keeps drifting to the left,is their any information to be had as to settings to try and sort it .

Did you calibrate the sticks?

Hi
Yes everything was set up including the compass calibration I set everthing up as below

pitch = 110   roll =  110  yaw =  135  vertical =  130

  attitude  130   130

Hi Cookie

I hope this isn';t a daft question but have you put the offset in for the GPS unit position? (possibly something not seen on Youtube) and have you calibrated the ESC';s?

Compass offset required. Just google declination

yet another fellow Fifer, hi and to the forum, hopefully the compass offset thingy ma bob will help out with your drifting problem.

Does declination really affect us here in the UK?

Does declination really affect us here in the UK?

oh yes !!! can be as much as 5 degrees in the UK at the mo!!!!

I only ask ';cos my mate';s F550 seems to yaw to the left on it';s own when just hovering and he can';t understand why.

I would check mine, but it is still with the gimbal supplier... new thread coming!

I take it the ';Naza dance'; has been performed here?
