Do gains look ok? I think it will be less jittery when i have the weight of the gimbal and camera bring the COG lower but I am open to suggestion on how to dial in gains. Oh, and do you like the Canadian Heli Pad? lol

Thanks

Do you have your gains on a slider on your TX? If you're not ready to put a camera under it, attach a milk crate with weight to it to see a more real life flight weight will be.

This is the part I don't get. I can assign gains to x3 and use a knob on my Futaba 14sg. Does it adjust the 6 gains at once?

Oh yes great question.
I usually start by adding the roll and pitch basic gains to the x3 (or x2) channel. I use the same tx and find the sliders on the back work good because you don't need to take your fingers off the sticks to adjust. Start with those two gains and then slowly up the gains until you get oscillation then bring it back down until it goes away. Note, make sure your channel is going the right direction by verifying what direction the gains move in the assistant software.

After you feel a stable hover give it some hard inputs (within control/ ability/ safety) and see if you get any oscillation. Once you feel it dialed in, land and hook back up to the assistant software and see what your basic gains are at. You can unassigned x3. I personally leave the basic roll/ pitch gains on a slider because I like to be able to dial it in for different weather, wind or payload. Once I do the first set up, I'll disengage the channel, set the slider on the control to half way and then re assign the channel so the sweet spot is center position on the slider.

You can also go on to adjust the other basic gains in this same method, but vertical and yaw will not oscillate on a multirotor, so finding the sweet spot is a little more feeling out what works for your style. Atti gains simply act to dull your stick input which is more about personal feel for controls then aircraft stability.

Might want to check ESC timing first. One of them sounds out of sync.

Kde motors and esc. To be honest they ran perfectly and not a mark on them. Lol. No video. Here is the wreckage pile. The funny thing is I'm one of those guys that never gets upset with things like this or car accidents etc. I didn't even swear. Lol.
I'm gonna chill a couple days and regroup. If anyone wants to see the iosd flight data pm me your email.

Oh man, that sucks! Sorry to here, glad you can control your emotions like that, you put so much effort in building that thing to have this happen on your second test flight.

Sorry to hear that. Did it flip? Was it like a quick oscillatory motion that you tried to counter it causing the crash? Asking this because your video looks like motors outputs are too powerful for the weight and it was oscillating on your correction inputs (high atti gains).
