The clicking is caused by the wrong timing being set for the motor in use, it can be reprogrammed by using a Turnigy programming card on the DYS (same ESC under the shrink wrap). The AXI I have on the CS were clicking badly on low timing, I reset it to high timing and the clicking is gone. If...

It should be solidly mounted, the IMU has vibration isolation inside the case. The twiching is another problem entirely and I've found through much trial and error that it is directly related to the props in use. On the CineStar 6 if I use Graupner 11 x 5 props the twitching/wobble is pretty...

Speaking of the Y6, here's a little clip shot from the GoPro point of view on one of its first flights with the WKM controller. As other early WKM adopters will recall they didn't have an arm/disarm function at first so some of us used throttle hold on the TX to make sure the motors couldn't...

Yes, I did. At the time I didn't know enough to not be one of the first to buy a brand new, never been tested by the public, flight controller. Never again will I pay to be a beta tester, lesson learned, now I'll wait for others to find out if it works or not before I take the plunge. Two big...

Ok, sounds like fun! I'll even include video with some of my better ones... Here we have a fine winter day for FPV flying, it turned out to be a short day at the field... Another less than successful FPV flight from exactly 1 year ago today, you can fast forward to 1:20 to avoid the...

The latest from DJI on this issue, posted by Sidney on RCG forum... "The 4.22 has been removed; more tests will be performed in an attempt to duplicate the issues cited here. You can download the 1.11 software and reload 4.2 firmware." http://www.dji-innovations.com/minisite/index_en.html

I have upgraded my first WKM as many times as there have been firmware updates since it was first released, I have never had to change gains after any of them to get the hex to fly right again. First thing I noticed when I tried to fly with 4.22 was that it was acting like the gains were too...

It's been a while since I've been over to Pinnacle Street, I used to live just down the road on the Lowell/Tewksbury line! Moved south about 4 years ago and now fly at the NEHC field in Mansfield. Ken

Welcome, if you need help sorting things out let me know, we can't be all that far apart! Ken

I'd love to show the last video I recorded today while out adjusting the gains on the CS6, it looked super stable from the ground. Problem is, when I got to the field some dumbarse had forgotten to erase the videos that were already on the memory card from the other day and I managed to get all...

Most likely because you're not flying an 825mm hex with an RTF weight of roughly 3.5 kilos. My small quad that weighs about 1 kilo with GoPro camera mount, WKM, and 2 2S5000 battery packs flys nice on any version of the DJI software, the big heavy lift machines are a different story. I WISH it...

My WKM quad started doing the same thing a couple weeks ago, turned out to be a loose connection between the ESC and one of the motors. Fixed that and it's been fine since. Ken

That reminds me, after I loaded 4.22 my normally steady AV130 started drifting and wandering around while sitting on the bench, something it never did before. It reminded me of how the Coptersky mount on the quad moves around while on the ground and then seems to work Ok once in the air. After I...

I did the upgrade last night and first test flight this morning the CS had bad wobbles and jitters, wandering all over the place once in the air. I reverted back to 4.2 and it's back to it's normal smooth flying self. Several other folks over on RCG ran into the same problem so I recommend...

The short answer is no, flying style has no bearing on how the gains are set, they are simply an adjustment to make the platform level across its travel as best as possible. Servos, linkages, and drive ratios are what actually determine the speed that things move at along with the firmware and...

The gains set the amount of travel at the extreme end points of motion in either axis, the proper way to set them is to use a level sitting on the center of the platform, I have a small circular bubble level I use. First thing I do is make sure both axis are as close to the centerpoint of the...

I've got the gimbal gains set to 22 for both axis. Don't recall what the ratios are for the 130, I know the roll axis has changed from the first one I have to the second along with the change in servos. I seem to recall something like 5:1 for roll and maybe a bit less for tilt. Ken

I have the basic gains fixed at whatever I set them to in the software, only the ATTI is TX adjustable for me, not enough sliders or knobs on the TX or ports on the WKM to have both on sliders. It would be nice for dialing in the gains as the conditons change to have both basic and ATTI gains TX...

Current setup is the CineStar frame and camera gimbal mounting system with a Photohigher AV130 mount. The AV130 is powered by a CC BEC Pro at 6.2 volts and only the signal wire connected to the WKM for stabilization. No movement at all while on the ground although the servos do hum and whine...

Good to know, I'm glad mine will go no higher than 150 using the TX adjustment! Ken
