Newb quad pilot, first time poster. Hang on to your butts!
I have an Eachine Wizard X220 and a Fkysky FS-I6.
This came as a ready to fly package. I've done no configuration or changes to how it came. Everything seemed to link up and work fine out of the box.
The trouble comes in trying to fly. It seems there's no gradient of speed between off and a hover 5ft above the ground. This of course makes landing tough. It's almost like cutting the motors at that height and the quad sort of falls out of the air.
There seems to be a similar lack of speed gradient between that 5 ft hover and simply shooting vertically skyward. Again this makes it tough to bring the quad back down since the 5ft hover speed doesn't actually provide enough lift to counter coming down out of the sky from a higher altitude.
This results in a kind of rubber banding between low altitude flight, shooting in to the sky, dropping mostly uncontrolled, trying to counter for the drop with enough power and then shooting back in to the sky. Rinse repeat.
I do realize, and fear this is just me being to heavy on the stick but being a gamer I'd like to think I'm pretty good on this style of controls. I've searched quite a lot and see many people suggesting calibrating the throttle but didn't have much luck finding anyone who actually explains how that's accomplished specifically.
Any help so I can make this thing controllable would be fantastic. Thanks in advance!
