Done Leveling/Centering Changing Over Time

[dborden]

So I just recently got a C250 V2 Racing Drone and decided to get it set up with clean flight. I did everything the manufacture recommended for setup, however, I still have a major problem. The drone seems to lose its self-level over time.

I'm not in manual or horizon mode because I have those set on different switch parameters.

The horizon on my headset is correct before I take off, but as soon as I give it throttle, the horizon starts to move down and as a result, the drone starts to falsely correct itself.

This is my first drone and so I did have a few hard crashes, but nothing anything so bad to where I broke any structural parts.

I also uploaded my PID settings.

PLEASE HELP!!

Your pid settings are in the default mode. Way too low for a 250 racer. Might want to try G-tune in cleanflight in manual mode to get a good starting tune. After you fix the problem. Worked for me.

As far as the struggling to level, could be the gyro in the flight controller, motors not calibrated, bad motor or bent prop.

The esc works or it doesnt in my limited experience. Same with flight controllers. Then most of mine have been lost to blunt force trauma.

Props are pretty easy to see if they are bent enough to cause a problem. As well, they would be causing a problem immediately.

if it is running fine then starts to struggle, best guess, one of your motors is bad, heating up and causing friction making the FC adjust the other motors to try and compensate. One way to tell if this is the problem is run it for a full lipo, then CAREFULLY test the temperature of the motors with your fingers. If one feels significantly warmer than the other three, it is going bad.

i currently have a quad i am waiting for new motors for that does pretty much what you are describing. After it is cool, it runs fine until about 60 to 80 percent of the first lipo, then the quad gets jerky as it heats up.

Thank you for the response. I ended up putting new bearings in and replace the flight controller with the Racercube. Now I'm having issues just getting the d*mn thing connected to my transmitter.
