Much better!
Somehow I erased my last post.
If you missed it. Take your finger under each motor prop shaft on each arm and do the same on each opposite motor to better determine balance.

it was power through the castle creation pro at 11.5 volts.

that will be my last fix cause then I will have to cut the canopy.

another day tweaking but still not there, all balanced from all arms even leveled all motor pods and still windy but would hold a good hover then drift . So close but not I have 4 other systems and this is hardest to get to work.

You took two steps forward and three steps back. Motor alignment in you first log you posted was almost perfect. Now you have a 20% spread on the 11 min flight. I overlooked the the voltage in your earlier logs. But you only want to power the SuperX off the flight lipo only. It already has a built in BEC. Your retracts should also be connected directly with or with out their own bec. Signal wire from retracts only connected to the receiver.

That is how I have it all connected now, so what would cause the motor spread

I am using the super x motor configuration and rotation. They both turn the same direction except the motor counts are opposite from super x to align. But they connected as per super x manual.

next was to reinstall the software and firmware because when I went to check the setting this morning I get a beep from each esc in sequence from motor 1 to 6 when ever I execute the super x program. if I do not open the program there no issues , so here is my last log file going to install a different brand fc.

View attachment 24698 Andre,
Looking at your photos again. Are you plugging the motors into the SuperX based on the labels on your arms?

So I installed it in a f450 went thru all the step and the same thing drift right and forward. It did hover in gps for a few seconds when I took to about 30 meters up . Here is the log file for this install

only thing would be to use a different radio , the 450 is much easier to calibrate . Which in the manual it says to do it hort. then nose up and last on the side ,which is different then all the videos out.

update the 690 flies great hold a good hover in gps using the naza v2 and futaba 14sg . So the issue is with the super x fc , xaircraft is going over the files on it . Hope it works I really like the super x and think it will be a great system.
