My second quad was-is a VooDoo 280 racing brick. Although it has no redeemable aero nautical abilities it screams around the sky until an immovable object hits it. With me flying that is quite often- lots of prop changes...
I have learned to fly my wifes Syma XC5-1 rather briskly and wanted to somehow make my 280 respond in a milder fashion like the Syma. After adjusting the curves on the throttle, yaw, pitch, and roll I never felt comfortable at this point in my flying career with this ballistic machine. Not until today. I have been waiting for a 2s battery I ordered to arrive and with the installation of this I finally accomplished the task of slowing this thing down. My abilities are just not up to a 3s battery and the power it delivers into those motors (at least in line of sight flying). Yea it still is a brick, but a manageable brick now instead of a flying machine that taxes my thinking processes when things get so fast. Now I think I can develop some reactions that are natural rather than panic stricken reactions causing so many prop changes.
I think I have found a way to develop a learning curve for this thing...
