250 pro - it goes like stink! :)

[Vortecks]

Well, I';ve finally got it tuned - I just need to adjust the mag on the Naze to make it fly straight

Thanks for stocking this frame, Phil..... it';s EPIC!

[Revs]

Excellent! You look to have it tuned nicely. Now, clean your gobbles

[tupoar]

At around 3:45 my only thought was... ';Fuuuuuu...... kinHELL!';

Nicely done mate.  ::)

When I got home and watched the video, I honestly couldn';t believe it. It didn';t look that fast in my gobbles 

[xxpitt]

That';s a low pass alright

[nub]

bummer, not bad though, its quite fast, but a mag? wtf

whats the spec motor/prop wise?

[atomiclama]

Nice

Can you tilt the cam a bit more ?

[bazzerh]

they are fast frames, think its all the aero holes on them!

are you sure its your mag playing up? im tuning a naze for first time at moment and have been having crabbing as well. turned out to be the deadband and yaw_deadband being set as zero as stock setting, so my big thumbs were making it crab. very hard to push a throttle up with no tiny yaw inputs as well. set deadband and yaw_deadband to 7 in CLI and all is well now.

this is on cleanflight btw

[xxpitt]

maybe the cam wasn';t straight so it looked like it was crabbing

it didn';t look straight by the end!

It has a mag, because the Naze came with it - it doesn';t mean I want it on there or have any use for it. I bought it for my TBS but ended up using it in this one.

Thank you 

I';ve made another mount because it was as far as I dare tilt it without it falling off in mid flight

My yaw_deadband is already at 5. I';m pretty sure it';s the mag but I may be wrong..... all will be revealed tomorrow

So what mode you flying in? When have you enabled the mag that you think it is the problem.

[shaun]

i want to be able to fly like that!
nice!

If I';m doing flips and rolls, I use horizon (I can';t seem to get the timing right in Acro) but for full bore, flat out, I use Acro.
I';m going back to the days of using my Naza when I think it';s the mag - I always had to angle the GPS/Mag for it to fly straight and I know my magnetic declination offset is -1.6 degrees which I';ve now set.

Practice, practice, practice, eat a house brick for breakfast and go for it! 

[bazzerh]

Does acro mode use the mag data?

[Vortecks]

Does acro mode use the mag data?

I really don';t know. It';d make sense for it not to, but I can';t find anything that says it doesn';t.

[atomiclama]

The mag is not used in acro or horizon, assuming we are talking about CF/BF here.

You have to enable it via the switches in the configurator / TX settings to give you some other sort of flying mode, never used it so don';t know much about it.

Oh yeah.

Faster, lower, faster lower ::)

[JT]

Does acro mode use the mag data?

No. If it is enabled it can be used for heading hold, also GPS needs it, but neither of these are wanted on a mini quad you want to thrash about with.

Gemfan props can/do cause the quad to fly erratically, they bend under pressure, if you are on 4s it';s going to be worse, I would think this could well be your issue.

Thanks for that..... I was out this morning and did some punch-outs and the Gemfan';s started to howl.
Any recommendations on 6x4 props?

Everything went bad this morning and I had a high speed crash. Needless to say, my frame';s trashed but luckily, I have spares 

[Vortecks]

Yeah....... it always ends the same

All settings are back to how they were on Tuesday and I';m trying bigger motors and my cut-down carbon props today.
Finale day today

HQ props are much better in 6"

[Vortecks]

Thanks, JT. I';ve ordered some to try.

Today was somewhat strange.....
My lack of skill, props what don';t like cornering, a horse and a cross-wind made for some interesting video.
Upload will be later
