    450 Sized Quad "Grasshopper Effect" Problem

    For sure, i'm trying my best to go out everyday and learn, and try to keep myself situated, its super hard for me, but if I don't have to worry about keeping altitude it will be slightly easier. :D So far I only try keeping my orientation and mess with pitch and roll, and when my quad gets...

    450 Sized Quad "Grasshopper Effect" Problem

    Yah I plan on trying it out stock, and try to hone my flying skills that way, but if the altitude hold works really well with the barometer I might try to learn with it on and just try to learn how to keep my bearings and orientation under control since its a huge issue for me.

    450 Sized Quad "Grasshopper Effect" Problem

    I have my apm coming and should be here next week! Hopefully that keeps things a bit more stable in the rise and fall. Also with the Altitude hold that will be a nice backup for when I get all my fpv equipment. :)

    450 Sized Quad "Grasshopper Effect" Problem

    Well then if its not the battery under-powering the motors, and since the motors should have a decent amount of thrust for this configuration, i'm not sure what it is that could be causing this.

    450 Sized Quad "Grasshopper Effect" Problem

    Its a 2200mah turnigy. The reason I was thinking it could be the battery is because the motors can draw up to 10 amps each apparently, so if the battery can only supply 20 with a burst of 30 then it might be pushing it, of course it wont be drawing that max amperage the whole flight, mainly only...

    450 Sized Quad "Grasshopper Effect" Problem

    Im not actually sure what it is right now, just looked at the weight of my parts and its about 764 grams, probably 800 with the power distribution board. Could it possibly be my battery not able to supply the amps needed? It's a 20c battery with 30c burst. I looked up the thrust of similar...

    450 Sized Quad "Grasshopper Effect" Problem

    I checked them and all seem to be working fine, I get "Ok" For them all when tested. It will go down when im trying to hover it too, it feels almost impossible to keep it at a decently stable height for more than a second or two, since it will fall, and the amount to counter that will make it...

    450 Sized Quad "Grasshopper Effect" Problem

    I spent a good deal of yesterday and today trying out different P and I gains, and none seemed to really change much. It almost feels like the motors lose a bit of power resulting in the drop (without actual power loss).
