XAircraft X450 is a Spinning Top

[djbuzzard]

Hello. This is my first post here and I am somewhat of a newbie. I have checked all my settings and re-calibrated the FC-1212-S and AHRS-S and I can't get it from spinning out of control. I noticed that it will change it rotation direction as it taps on the ground hard enough. When I held it up at 20-30% throttle, it wants to rotate to either clockwise or opposite with the slightest input from my fingers. I have rechecked my radio settings and I am totally confused on why I can't get this thing to fly right.

Make sure that you are in Atti mode. Plug the 450 into the computer, checking that the AHRS and FC are aligned the correct way and check that sticks cause the correct pitch, roll and yaw.
I would suggest that you check motor rotation/props are on the correct way and are spinning in the correct direction.
I had a 450 and it was fantastic for handling and stability. It must be something mega wrong for it to handle like this...
if I can help, pm me

I have tried it with and without ATTI mode with the same results. When I got this, I installed the compass and GPS at first and performed all the calibrations in the field with my laptop. I thought it was a problem with the compass and/or the GPS so I disconnected them and the problem persists. I will recheck all that you have listed above but I'm having a bad feeling about the set of gear that came with this one.

The yaw is not constant in a static setting so I think something is defective in the FC or AHRS. Any ideas?

I guess my dyslexia was showing its true colors...the wiring and the blades needed to be swapped.

I think the ESC's connectors were never checked when I received it and I messed up on the blade arrangement. Thanks for the help!

I take it that you are fully sorted? Any problems drop me a line. Rich

So far, so good...
First video gets a little crazy with my 11yr old cameraman

My question is, what should I expect from the GPS hold? I know it was real windy and I had to make adjustments to keep it from drifting today.
Thanks for all the help so far!

As you can see, I have my X450 all sorted out :tennis:
