Lakhta Center Again :: FPV Building Dive02:01

Music: Bastien Slice — Deep Into London
Building: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakhta_Center (462 meters)

You’ve constantly asked to do this again, for whatever reason… Building is still under construction and I’ve checked for industrial climbers one the sides of the building I’ve used for diving. The one climber on the right side somehow found me on instagram and asked for footage :)) Sadly, without tower cranes this building is much less fun to dive…

Unfortunately, VTX on my 5″ build was ~dead, so I had to use 7″ long range rig, a few observations:
– With 7″ you can get 4 times full 460 meters climb + dive on a single 4S 1300mAh lipo and safely return home (only 2 dives on 5″ rig), this video is captured using only one lipo;
– I was unable to tune out pitch wobbles on 7″ build after switching to betaflight 4.0, however recommended settings for 7″ rig works great otherwise, you get much less jello with dynamic filter switched to ‘low’ frequency range mode;
– Low camera tilt (20º) is not good for dives, even with stretch-X 7″ frame quad does bad job fighting wind and turbulence on the way down, something like 35º would provide the quad much more authority to fight external sources of PID error. But higher tilt would add up to already high aerodynamic drag from 7″ props and frame that make dives much slower.
