it is a quad and i am taking off at about 60% throttle... but i really dont understand why this fluctuation on voltage appears??

Dear GJHI, I would understand if this fluctuation was caused by higher amperage. But why this fluctuation appears only when I am monitoring my voltage with mission planner connected to APM through radio telemetry ??? Could my battery be considered unsuitable for my quad ?? Would I need more a...

Hello, as I keep progressing with my skills and my knowledge on the quadcopter world, I have a question. At first I want to note that my quadcopter setup is: DJI F450 frame DJI E310 tuned propulsion kit ( 2312 motor, 420S ESC, 9450 props) APM v2.8 flight controller with external gps/compass...

Dear people, here we go.. I tried to fly again and I discovered that mostly it was my fear that made me think that things are not good at all with my quad.. So, today I realised that I am actually in a pretty good path considering that I am a newbie. Today , I tested my quad in two modes...

Dear HDtallrider and Jackson, probably I must throw my fear of crashing and start pushing the throttle more and more quickly. As far as I remember, in my earlier attempts I tried and lifted it up to 1,5m height and it was still shifting around, although not so much like my video shows. I will...

Before playing with the curves of my throttle, I have some updates to my problems.. After replacing two faulty motors and setting up again my quadcopter, I tried again to make a flight in Stabilize mode in order to see how the quadcopter behaves.. In my video you can see the attempts I have...

The motors are the 2312 model which have 960KV and they are part of DJI E310 propulsion kit. I didnt made the choice for the motors,esc,props combination because all of them are sold as a kit from DJI saying that it is suitable for models up to 2,5kg and and for 3-4S batteries... I dont know...

Dear all, As i am a newbie in the quadcopter world, i did my first flight ever yesterday, which resulted in two fried motors. After my research, i decided to buy the following parts for my first quadcopter. Those are DJI F450 frame with its extension legs DJI E310 tuned propulsion kit ( 2312...

Hello, after some days of reading and research regarding quadcopters and their theory, I have decided to use the following configuration: DJI Flamewheel F450 frame ESC E-Max BLHeli 30A OPTO DJI 2212-920KV Gnauper E Prop 9*5 LiPo 10000mAh 15/30C 4S1P CC3D or Naze32 Acro flight controller 1)...

Ok thank you, regarding the parts combination that I would need to achieve my quadcopter goals, could you suggest any ???

My budget would be 1000Euro I have already seen about NAZA,Multiwii and other controllers as well, but i keep reading that the PixHawk has the most capabilities, features and allows a lot of customization (even development code) .... Do you think that I should use another flight controller...

Regarding the 100km/h and 25 flight time issue, I dont mean that it should travel with that speed for the whole time. The 100km/h should be reached lets say for 1 minute in total just to catch a few shots from a fast moving object. FOr the rest of the time it should travel with a lower speed...

Hello everybody, I am a newbie into the world of UAVs/multicopters and after reading and reading a lot of stuff and useful information I need to start sorting things out inside my head. Therefore, I need the help of the experienced guys to make sure that I am heading to the right direction. I...
