If someone calls while flying, we are no longer friends... Why are they calling anyway i only accept calls from telemarketing :D. really though can use do not disturb option on your phone while flying and i think will avoid the interruption. Still even some cheap goggles are nice to block...

Hiya 2Hover, I don't have any hands on with radio link so all I know from them is hearsay but I think they are relatively new game in town. FrSky and Spektrum were basically two leaders in TX space for hobby stuff but Jumper and "Radio master" and a few others have picked up opentx from FrSky...

Take a picture close up of how the FC is mounted in the stack (make sure it has rubber grommets in the holes between screws and FC or are using nylon standoffs but prefer the former). If you can get blackbox logs from attempting to take off to disarm so can try to see if control input is all...

Also also I like this thing a lot as an alternative like a chromebook and it lets people re-use some of their existing peripherals which is nice and not a consideration I feel like the big guys address when releasing their tablets or other lower price "all in one" type machines.

They can all squeeze a lot in a small package but it seems M$ and Apple are both more concerned about addressing the premium or enterprise market. In any case I'm glad to see Linux finding a place in the hands of regular users, as a developer I rely on it all the time for web backends since...

No prob @2Hover. Regarding Velocidrone and betaflight, velocidrone has a simulated version of betaflight PID configuration built into it so you can virtually tune the quad similar to how you could tune a quad in real life to avoid the nose dip when punching throttle or to change the...

Yah it is really hard to guess would suggest check all your solder connections to ESC from motors a loose or bad one could cause motor to be kicking on and off and introducing the oscillation and making it worse (I also had that problem a few times but once I tried with props on in a tennis...

Velocidrone is the best in terms of physics simulation I think and most widely used for race qualifications but I also like "lift off". FPV free rider isn't as refined but nice for a tablet option and works with tx via OTG cable which is surprising. I think all of these still have a free demo...

Does it do a similar thing with props on and standing far away from it outside? You might need to do a "softer" soft mount if using up to date betaflight. Found I was getting a similar yaw twitch with JBF7 on the latest. Make sure the FC can move a little bit down and springs back up into...

Also should fully charge usually I land with cells around 3.6-3.7V range because under load they can dip .5V or more and don't want them under 3.0V for very long or will damage them. Should charge to 4.2V or if using HV cells 4.35V and land before 3.5V resting voltage.

Yup if new battery C rating is too low or it's otherwise damaged it might be dropping voltage quickly when under load (power going to motors) and can recover voltage when taken off for measuring, just a guess, could also be connector on battery is bad and so adding extra resistance to the circuit.

Welcome to the hobby/forum. Great explanation of what you're trying to achieve and what you know so far. Everything you said sounds reasonable from someone who has been building and flying for a few years so I think you're on the right track, will call out a couple things you asked about and...

In general you want to hold the bind button on the receiver or put a bind plug in it depending on what kind of receiver it is and then power it up (while holding button or with bind plug in). Once the receiver is powered and waiting for binding you go to your transmitter/controller and navigate...

New setup details in the description. Finally got around to building a quad around my DJI air unit and using the goggles, the view is pretty incredible. Think the quad could use some tuning but it flies pretty well especially considering how windy it was today. Super nice day though Happy...

Nah typically with something close to double capacity they will be double the weight roughly so you could get more flight time but will have more inertia/momentum to overcome with the extra weight and the motors won't be getting significantly more power in any moment to compensate so in general...

Dunno about their props tbh but iflight makes good stuff in general, it isn't usually "top shelf" but is good quality for the price (frames and motors)

Basically if you draw more current from a battery than it is tested/designed to deal with the cells will overheat from internal resistance in the cells themselves and the increased heat increases resistance so is a runaway effect and end up burning power as heat in the battery more than desired...

That'll work fine should be better than stock if the C rating is legit. C rating is just a max discharge or charge rating on a cell and is used with capacity to calculate the actual max amps discharge you multiply the C rating by capacity in Ah to get max amps charge or discharge, typically...

Are you testing with props off? The "runaway behavior" will happen if the motors attempt to add thrust to a given corner of the quad but the accelerometer and gyro see no motion they will just apply more speed/power to the given motor until the expected change occurs (or some other change...

Yup looks good isdt is a generally trusted brand too in the charger game.
