I am new to quad flying but have flown RC fixed wings etc and have good experience with electronics.
I bought a LHI 220 CF frame from Amazon and a NAZE 32 board and a PD board. I picked up some motors and matching ESCs and wired it all up. I am using a FRSKY XSR receiver using sbus. All seems to work ok when testing with the Betaflite configurator.
In setting up the ESCs should I use PPM or something more advanced? They are :
Makerfire 4pcs ESC 20A BLHeli Brushless Speed Controller for QAV250 Racing Drone from Amazon.
When the copter is sitting on the flat ground and the throttle is advanced two motors start first and as the throttle is advanced further, the other two motors pulse but the copter wants to turn over. Moving the stick seems to run all motors, lifting the proper sides of the copter as expected. I would guess it is not trimmed for hover flight or over sensitive with the controls. I have checked the proper rotation and that the proper props are installed in the correct direction and when looking at the copter in Betaflite it moves properly with stick movements and seem to hover fine in the simulation views.
I have not tried adjusting the PIDs. It would seem that it is just set up for very agressive flying. Any help would be appreciated. My transmitter is the Taranis X9D. I am getting the proper telemetry signal back to the transmitter so I think that the interface wiring is OK.
Thanks for any help.
