What time and where do you guys meetup. I might be available to nip up, would be good to see the different flying characteristics between the nazas and thr kk2.
Eek I can see where this goes and the fllowing puchases made. ..., a nice 330 as they seem fun, a 450 for slightly more stability and a 550 as the filming rig. All with a mixture of naza and kk2. Hmm maybe shouldnt make it ha ha.

I leave York around 5, so get there about 6 but if you're just coming for the flying then as long as you're there before dark then that's fine - I'm not sure I'll be running my buggy this week

That's the one Col, mine haven't arrived yet. I've ordered the 1400kv ones. I cant give a solid argument why, will have to wait to see if they're too powerful. What diameter is the prop shaft please?

No-one else did either...
Was just me and my little quad all on my own. Here it is, just after it tried to assassinate James:

Apologies, intended to go but work cropped up and it seemed a tad windy?
What happened Col? (Other than you crashing it!) |

Ooops Col !
How did it happen? How's it flying now with the Afros and Sunnysky's? |

Well.......
It was all James's fault... I thought I'd try the new firmware (1.6++) with high stick scaling to see if it would flip. It did - first flip was easy and very cool! Problem was that I didn't quite know what I did to make it so successful. Attempt no2 was nearly very cool! I think it did 3 (maybe 2) flips and hit the ground - no damage. Still not sure what I was doing first time... Attempt no3 was not so cool. 1/2 flip and inverted crash into the ground - 3 props broken and some of the pins on the kk2 bent. The damage in the photo... TBH I've no idea what went wrong. James had a fly (without problems) and I was doing simple turns (with self level on and no mixing) when I realized that it was about to kill James! I killed power and we ran! It crashed about 1 foot short of where James was standing and continued to hit him on the leg. The damage was done as it hit the ground. I don't think it was inverted at all, but all the pins on the kk2 have taken alot of pain and will need some work to make right, other than that it's just an arm. Thankfully James was unhurt. I can only assume that my brain capacity isn't big enough to talk and fly at the same time...

Hi Col
Sounds like fun !! I just watched a video on flitetest about stick scaling and flips. http://www.flitetest.com/articles/kk2-stick-scaling The guy on there said, never, ever, ever try flips with auto level on as the KK2 can get confused and cause you to crash ? Maybe I was lucky when I tried it - watch the vid and see what you think. Hope you get it sorted |

I'm running 1.6++ with mixing, so although self level was on, it actually wasn't...

Col.
What is 'mixing' ? |
#35

Installed 1.6++
Can see why you crashed the Quad now Col.... |

It is very weird to begin with!
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1899326 It is essentially full acro, but with self level on when the sticks are centered... It will quite happily travel a full 90* from horizontal!

Tried 1.6++
Not sure about it at all - very hard to fly ! Just simply flying around was a nightmare - quad wanted to go sideways and into the ground. Is this how the top lads fly these things !!? Col - did you change stick scaling settings - I had to back off to around 20 otherwise it was far too sensitive. Managed a few flips - one bent prop, got scared and switched the mixing off. It was mad though - looked a bit more like the crazy stuff you see on YouTube with the quad right over on its side, might persevere.... |

Left all settings as they were originally
but have since moved up to around 40 on elv and ail. It was flipping with scaling at 80 at RHR - seemed possible to do 2 flips per second at that! It'll still flip at 40, but slower, and not too twitchy when flying normally.
