    NEWB Trouble with holding altitude (not altitude hold)

    1000% better with 1550's hovering flying accuracy much better. Thank you all appreciate the help. Really enjoying it now. Man that 5200 3s is HUGE compare to the 1550 4s.

    NEWB Trouble with holding altitude (not altitude hold)

    I think I made a dumb mistake. I was thinking that I should get a high Mah so I can get a bunch of practice in so the 3s I am using is 5200 mah and pretty much runs the entire length of the quad. I think my power to weight ratio is bad with that battery and probably has some impact (I am...

    NEWB Trouble with holding altitude (not altitude hold)

    I printed 4 short TPU bushings and since the flight stack is 20mm the Mark 4 frame I purchased is pre-drilled in 2 places to accommodate mounting (center and rear) but I am only using the center for the entire stack. I ran the long screws for the stack up through the bottom of the frame and then...

    NEWB Trouble with holding altitude (not altitude hold)

    Guessing this must be a dumb question... I'll keep reading, and hopefully I'll find the answer just too wide a range of possibilities.

    NEWB Trouble with holding altitude (not altitude hold)

    Finished my build with an I Flight succex F7 mini FC 4 in 1 esc and 2306 2450KV motors running 3s 5" props on a carbon fiber Mark 4 frame using Beta Flight 4.2.9 and Dshot 600 and rpm filtering. It's my first quad... and I have a sim that I don't have issues with staying level at a slow cruise...

    Having problems holding altitude

    I dont know what the heck happened but during a 2 hour session of lift off in acro mode with no altitude hold... something clicked and instead of controlling the sticks I started banking and dipping through tunnels and windows stuff that I thought I could never do... it's like it just became...

    Having problems holding altitude

    Got exited about iNav... but my board is not supported unfortunately. It does seem more suited for what I want. I see there have been a few requests made for them to support IFlight_succex_e_f7...

    Having problems holding altitude

    Thanks! will read up on iNav sounds interesting and more inline with what I am looking for. Helps also when you dont think that the term 'Mode' is normallized in betaflight... as I assumed a single 'Mode' would be active at any time so I disabled 'Air' mode considering that it would conflict...

    Having problems holding altitude

    I am also using liftoff and did the training in acro mode... albeit I am definitely a far cry from being good.. I agree... the shift from the PS4 controller to my FLYSKY FS I6 is definitely a change I have to get used to... but outside of that... my quad just doesnt feel like its performing as...

    Having problems holding altitude

    I just built the PEON 230 3D printed frame using an iFlight Succex mini f7 and 4 in 1 esc and ReadyToSky MT2204 2300KV with 5045 props running 3s. It's my first build and first time flying (outside of 2 hort flights with a DJI Mavic). After snapping my frame in half on a tree and reprinting...

    3D printed Quadcopter

    Just saying hi... I am using the same flight controller with a 3D printed frame but with the matching brand 4 in 1 ESC (I printed the peon 230). It is my first build and after I soldered everything up I realized that the motors I used were threaded so that the nut would fly off after throttling...
