I rarely have oscillation problems but lately all of my brand new quads have had serious issues.. I narrowed it down to some inconsistencies in my preproduction motors, but what I found was happening is not what I thought.

So I’ve just gotten into FPV through you and Rotor Riot and others. You have really been a big Inspiration and now I built myself a Drone. And now my Problem is i want to push myself but I’m not really trusting/comfortable with the Video connection and my Question is how can I test the Range or get comfortable with knowing where I can see and where I can’t see ?
The best way to get rid of these occilations is fly up around 100 feet, roll to the left until the the quad is upside-down and increase the throttle to 100%. Once the quad makes contact with the ground you should have no more occilations
Very good and interesting video Mr Steele, thanks! *Do you soft mount your motors btw?*
Mr Steele, why don’t you just swap over the one noisy motor for the one clean motor. That way you’ll have four noisy on one and four clean on the other. This will also add evidence to your theory. Love the outro.
Wait . . . what ?! You flew recently with Chad Nowak > Thats awesome man m/(@,@)m/
Just how do you balance a motor?
Hi mr steele
What is that litle display on top of your radio?
I wouldn’t go past 75% throttle with an unloaded motor (no prop) for any extended period of time. Its actually pretty bad for the motor.
Did you change any cam settings for this vid? It seems very dark
And one more thing, thank thank thank you for this vid. This is a 49er gold nugget level of knowledge you just handed me. You da real mvp, Steele.
Now please come to dallas
What do you do with your old motors? Are they recyclable? Are they good for anything anymore? Can you send them back to TBS and they can refurb it or something? I mean technically it still works. Maybe im a hoarder. I just hate that i have a box of weird noisy motors that I know i can’t fly but still spin up so I can’t bring myself to toss them.
And the frame damage on the viper? Better be careful, you’re gonna get oscillations
I started using PDB and separated ESCs for my build again for flight security. now it’s a lot of choices like 4 in 1 esc or all in one flight controller or whatever. but they are not actually that the trustworthy. I was always replacing those parts, they helps flight characteristics well, but last few month or less than that to die. so it’s very agreeable to see Mr steel’s set up.
I guess I’m not the only one that has a Mona Lisa Quad…out of eight quads one flys on another level..and two others are just ok..an the other four are sketchy… fpv life right Steel:-
That colur profile is flatter than my rat… donโt like it^^
Lol Mr Steele ! Problem with jello? You think it’s a framerate problem or sun problem ?
Try to fly a unibody frame quad at first. NO jello with no ND at any time of the day !
Frames with screwed arms are a structural heresy because holes are always bigger than screws…
Any $15 unibody frame is better than a $125 assembled frame like the alien.
weird thing is, i prefer kissfc because i like the way it flys, i built 12 kiss quads and something around 25 beta/butterflight quads,.
i have bounceback issuse on every single kiss quad even with zero Dterm tpa, lowering Pterm, lowering rates and so on…
doesnt matter if it was v1 or v2, and i have mid throttle oscs on the most of them, tried different motors, hardmount, softmount, filtering everything out, used stiff and light props.
no way to get it out,…v2 filters better but on both versions the motors get a lot warmer then on my butterflight quads, and i have absolute zero oscs and dterm issuse on all butterflight quads so i guess its a dterm filtering problem maybe lowpass slope is just -6dB i dont know i cant measure it.
in my experience sometimes u just get shit that doesnt work right even from reputable companies or vendors and sometimes just reinstalling a newer version of betaflight fixes it for unknown reasons
where is new video ๐
What type of battery do you recommend for this build ? 4S, 5S? 1300mah ?
