    Advice needed on Y6 motor redundancy

    To follow up the thread I've managed to do another test with one of the lower motor unplugged and the prop secured in parallel to the boom - sort of 'feathering' the prop to prevent it's aerodynamic drag when it is windmilled by the upper prop. The end result - No change at all~~~ the Y6 still...

    Advice needed on Y6 motor redundancy

    Just did a motor failure redundancy test on my newly build Y6. Test 1 failed upper motor with everything went fine, copter in total control. However, in test 2 when I failed one of the lower motors, the copter went into self-spin and unable to be stopped even with full rudder input, resulting in...

    Motors get twitchy when using carbon props

    Hi guys Just bought my quad 4 new Sunnysky 2814 800kv motors. When I did some flight tests, I realize the followings: 1147 carbon props: gone crazy, machine went up with minimal thrust increment, almost uncontrollable vertical movement, impossible to hover. When testing static thrust the...

    Calibrating ESCs from raw data or Manual mode

    I recently purchased 4 new Sunnysky V2814s for my quad. When I try to calibrate the throttle range I thought of a problem: should I calibrate the throttle outputs from the WKM or plug them directly to the throttle servo output of my receiver (6208SB)? GPS/Attitude mode are probably not...

    You do have an option to use a voltage regulator to power the fpv gear by the main cell. What about some pros/cons of that??

    Static Thrust Test - Am I pushing too much??

    Or better "Cost saving" Typical Made in China mentality haha. I did not attempt to contact the manufacturer because I wasn't using the default configuration. (4s vs 3s, 950kv vs 980kv, 1147 vs 1047 prop) As a conclusion, I suppose these quads are not to be flown under manual thrust...

    Static Thrust Test - Am I pushing too much??

    Setup for a static thrust test with my X650 quad today, holding the craft at hand pointing outward, WKM changed to manual mode and pull full throttle ...... 2 plastic arms snap off and break away in 1 second... :upset: I notice the breakage position are all the same at the plastic mounts where...

    Using Futaba channels 1 to 7 when also using S-bus

    I use the same transmitter/receiver as you do. Thought about that too. Apparently PPM channels 1-8 seems to be mirroring S Bus 1-8. So unless DJI decides to let users select their own S Bus channels for FC connection you are sticker with one channel left. I end up reverting back to the...
