Hi all, this is one of my first posts if not the first in this forum(I dont remember) I received my F450, Naza M, and X468 XT Gimbal last monday and proceeded to build it I have also a S800 with Zenmuse and Wookong M so the build was very easy and fast, checking the parameters from the Naza M was very easy and straigthforward, I just copied the sugested gain parameters from the manual for my setup(3S 10inch props stock).
As I said I have a S800 and I was sure this F450 was a piece of cake, but noooooo, I went outside and calibrated the compass then went in to my shop again(it was dark outside) and then I lift off in attitude mode, the F450 was very stable on the sides no driftig to any direction, the problem was to maintain altitude, it was almost imposible, the F450 was jumping and falling and many times I was very close to hit the ground or the ceiling.
I came here and other forums and saw that some people had similar problems but not exactly the same, then a found one post were a guy had a similar problem and solved it changing the props for the 8 inch(stock), so I did and was just magic my f450 flew very well, I was able to mantain altitud almost perfectly the only thing that I had changed was the props.
As I was using the 8 inch props I used a 4S battery, so I decided to try the 10 inch props with the 4S but again the problem came back It was imposible to mantain altitude, as I was detrmined to solve the problem(jajaja) I check balance on the 10inch props.
Both props marked R, were way off balance, I did a litle sanding on the heavy sides but I noticed i was going to thin the props a lot if wanted that to work so I just placed some electrical tape to the light sides of props.
That made the diference now it hovers very nice.!!!
Now my question, I plan to use the f450 as a training plataform mostly for IOC testing and to get acustom to the diferent IOC modes(I havent tried that on my S800), but as I said in the begining I also got the x468 that I plan to use on the f450 with my gopro camera, so my questions are:
Should i go for the 4S 8inch props or the 3S 10inch pros?
What happends if I fly the 4S with 10inch props and viceversa?
What aftermarket props/baterry combo do you recomend for the f450 with the x468 gimbal?
Thanks in advance and I hope this information helps some newbes like me with multicopters
