FINALLY, after months of farting about the droidworx Y6 took to the sky (low hover) this evening.
Started out as a MK upgrade but is now (and finally) a wkm build (with HW 30A sec's, the smaller of the two Torxpower motors and graupner 10" props)
Initial teething problems were, as they are in 99% of cases, down to user set-up errors.
I am however experiencing a Yaw issue which i'd like some advice on.
Initially at 100% gain it was slowly and continuously circling. I upped the gain to 180% and that seems to have got rid of most of it but it still seems to want to Yaw clockwise (birds eye view). Pitch and roll are at 175% Attitude pitch and roll are at 120%
Is it just a case of increasing the Yaw gain some more or am i missing something else?
I have to say that even with just one lipo pack of initial fettling, she flies in a very stable and planted way. Just fantastic.
I'm going to feel a lot more confident flying her with the WKM.
One other DX8 related issue.
I tried to set my DX8 up so that X2 and X3 are controlled with the left and right trim rockers.
X2 on the gear channel works ok, but X3 on Aux3 channel seem to be mixing somewhere. In use it moves the X3 slider, but it's also moving the flight mode 'U' slider too.
I can't seem to locate the mix which is causing this.
Initially i switched of any and all mixing options i could find, but this totally screwed up the flight control, so i reset the model, rest set the Tx in the wkm assistant - which had her flying correctly again.
This isn't a major issue as i'm happy using the netbook to fiddle with the gains, but it would be good to know what's happening - if anyone knows.
GoPro is pretty duff in low light, but hopefully the yaw issue and slight drift are obvious…
You can hear me clicking the yaw trim to try and slow the turn rate. I'm constantly giving some left stick input to keep it straight - but as soon as i centre the stick the yaw happens.
