naza m light or apm2.6 ardupilot

[martin townsend]

Hello all,
I have just finished my first build, a hobby king dart 400 with naza m light fc, as it was my first time I hadn't a clue on how it worked, but a few questions on this great forum got me going. It flys ok but it has a bit of vibration even after balancing the props, and it struggles a bit to get of the ground using 75-100% throttle.

So I am thinking about mk 2 now, a quanum venture after seeing a youtube clip. I already have the frame and motors, but the question I would like to ask, is the apm2.6 ardupilot as easy as the naza m light to set up? and does it have the same functions? only on ebay its half the price of the naza. I also have some newee 40amp simonk esc would this be a problem.
Thanks for your answers in advance.

Regards Martin

I just recently got a Naza Lite, and did the firmware upgrade, and so far it has been a solid controller. It is not instant takeoff like my Naze32, but it is more of a progressive launch.
I do not think that the flight controller is what is causing your vibration issues. It could be the motors need balancing too in addition to the props.
Do you have a short vidoe demostrating the vibration that you are experiencing?

Thanks ringolong, I'll try and post a video later, but I have since changed the motors with a different prop mount rather than the self tightening ones, and its a lot better not perfect, but better.
