Ninja_Maple Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hey guys! I am almost finish with my quadcopter 250, the only thing i have a problem with is one of the motors which causes the quad to lean to the left (i think)the config on baseflight is quad X, during the motor test, the motors 1,2 and 3 all start at the same time, however motor 4 starts to rotate a little later. motor 1, 2 and 3 rotates at 1167 but motor 4 start to rotate at 1181. i did a test holding the quadcopter to see if the motors responds when i tilt the quad to its axis... they do respond, however the quad is not level as if motor 3 & 4 have less power so its leaning to the left like this /I calibrated the accelerometer, ESC's and played with the CG but no luck. any ideas?best regards.

froggy8 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 when you turn the motor with your fingers, does the motor seem stiff to move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeghead28 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 There is no requirement for the motors to all run at the same setting,the idea is to set them all so they just start,the numbers dont need to match so dont get too hung up on that.Are any of the screws securing the motor slightly too long or over tightened?

turok007 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 i had a quad that had a slow motor on start up but it still flew good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vr5fx Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Have you actually put props on and tried to get it airborne?Nice big open space, and see if it gets anywhere, get 6ft off the ground and see how it holds.Those numbers aint important to be honest, my motor readings were 300 out on max throttle.

Ninja_Maple Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hey peepsI managed to fix it...I used Clean flight instead of baseflight for some reason it is now level. hmm weird. anyways my first flight! i did a hover in the room and slow turns and yaw basic stuff etc.. (angle mode on) 15mins of flight, all good so far!i was very afraid and full of joy at the same time when i saw that thing i built flew haha.will take it out when the sun comes out! its very wet here in Glasgow.thanks for the replies i really appreciate them.
