Title: My first try at flying around some trees
Post by: CurryKitten on April 13, 2015, 11:03:42 PM
With some narration (or commentary.. depending on your view point) as I was excited to capture my own feelings about it, which was kind of ah shit, scary and eventually wooo, fun.  It's not exactly the most daring tree proximity you'll see, but it's great to try something new, I was buzzing afterwards :)

Narrated FPV: My first go at the ZMR 250 through some trees (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3xDbOXF9Pg#ws)

Nice.

It is strange the way you battle it for a time and then it all just clicks. I had the same with mine.

I am building a ZMR250 at the moment, but I currently use a 200qx with an aftermarket frame. for a little 2s quad it really goes well and you can get accustomed to the 45degree nose down flying attitude.

Very nice Wayne, over just those few lipos you can see your confidence growing and you start to get stuck in :)

Well done :)

Nice and smooth flying there Sir. I have just built a 250 with a naze board as well, I cant for the life of me get it to corner as neatly as you. I either run out of momentum or it fish tails. What tweeks in the flight controller have you found to be of help to you?

First post btw  :D Hi all

Thanks.  If it helps, here are my pids for my first lipo (well nearly, I changed the PID controller to 1 (The MultiWii rewrite) but if you fly in autolevel at all, then you might want to keep it on 0

Every setup will be different though - motors/escs/equipment layout will all factor in, but perhaps it'll give you an idea of where to go from... although if you are starting out, that roll/pitch rate might be a little aggressive.

Whenever I fly I use the 3 profiles to make little changes and see if it makes things better/worse, so in my last lipo I'm flying with the P and I values lowered some more (I think P roll is on 2.8 now) and the D value up.  It seems smoother and still very locked in, so that'll be my base for my next fly and I'll experiment with some changes on the other profiles to try,

Thanks for the tip about using profiles
