Experiment

Way to much endfloat on the G-gain y buffer and the torsion gyro
is using a mismatched version of the calamity firmaware.

I'll have to look into fixing that.


Maybe should've mentioned what the experiment was about, as I said in the previous topic:

Quote :

The arms are quite bendy and vibration sensitive. Just a light tap on the arm and it vibrates like a guitar string.
Did an experiment today with double bottomplates. I used tape to attach a second bottomplate to fortify the arms.
Though the flight is not perfectly smooth yet, I did notice significant improvement.
From this point the way it is now I can try finetuning a bit more, but a new frame would be best option.

Besides the bottomplate being too thin and bendy, I think maybe it also has to do with the motors.
They are low kv motors which provide higher torque, meaning they power up stronger.
You can see this in the vid from the vibrations when I throttle up too fast.
And to top it off I learned a while back the 28A RacerstarV2 ESC's I have on this quad are very noisy,
noisy ESC's also can cause a quad to vibrate.

All in all a great combo in parts. cough cough.

Despite the troubles still very pleased with the 2206/2100kv Cobra motors. 
Even after all my abuse and flying with poor tunes, they are good as new.

Apart from eventually upgrading the quad with better parts, for now I'll just try tuning this thing to make it flyable.
Way it is now is almost good, can maybe get it a little better, but not much I expect.
To fix the shaky video I need to think up some antivibration mount for the Splitcam camera.
