Ric, let me first say that I can absolutely see that it needs attitude locking for multirotor Acro, so no disagreement there
But I donât think youâre comparison with the static margin and dihedral effects from a fixed-wing makes sense. As long as you have a well balanced multirotor without anything dangling from it it shouldnât produce much unwanted moments during flight and maneuvers on itâs own. When you do a 4/4 roll in Acro with a properly tuned quad it will stop the roll motion when you put your roll stick back to center and since you cannot leave it on itâs side or inverted very long anyway it will look almost as good as with attitude locking. Of course it will drift with time.
For fixed-wing, I personally would actually benefit from attitude locking because Iâm a bad pilot ;). Because with locking when doing a barrel roll with a large dihedral angle I wouldnât have to care about yaw and pitch control myself. But a good pilot will know the properties of his plane an naturally counteract it while flying so he doesnât need attitude locking.
My primary argument for/against attitude locking is related to the natural behaviour of the vehicle you fly. A multirotor has no natural behaviour except falling to the ground, itâs a flying brick , so give it attitude locking and it flies like the perfect brick. From a fixed-wing on the other hand the pilot expects a natural behaviour so it doesnât necessarily need attitude locking but some still might want it.
got the 250 multirotor to fly today with little to bo issues level flight i stablize mode oscillations mode ,oscillationson on punch out with 4s batteries little to none , had to default all tpa settings they seem to make multirotor very unpredictable and uncontrolable even @ .001 i used lumiar frame design with all preloaded setting without any tpa ,it was very responsive on all axes pitch,roll,and yaw ,made me go from 0 confidence in the craft to rocking it back and forth on all axis as hard as i could to see if it would fail and nothing, everything worked great , now for the issue i do have still and that one motor isnât spoiling at the same time as the rest @ start up .calibration is perfectly fine so it most have something to do with the esc that runs that motor but still flys great
I have a pixracer installed in my tbs discovery and always have problems with yaw drifts. The quad flies otherwise very stable. On the logs Iâm not really helpful. Partially, I also have a jump correction of the yaw angle in flight. Can someone give me a tip to what it could be?
idk know if this is your problem, but had an issue similar to what you are explaining with one of my builds , it turned out to be a damaged motor that would have a small hang up when it spun which in turn would make the yaw drift , it took me a while to realize that this was my problem
i have controlled my motors about mechanical and electrical faults and could not find anything. Therfore i make a testflight again and could watch live how the campass display in the qgc rotate while the quad stand still.
Anyone received a Pixracer board or had successful contact with Nick Arsov or AUAV recently? My order doesnât get processed and my mails to sales@auav.co are being rejected with âno valid MX hosts foundâ. Please advise.
Iâm a new PX4/Pixracer user. I spent the last week trying to get my new Pixracer working with Arduplane but could never get beyond compass errors, AHRS errors, and an inability to see my airspeed sensor. Iâm glad to say that all of those problems were solved in my first 20 minutes after installing PX4. I may not go back.
Iâm hoping to have the Pixracer as the flight controller for a Skywalker FPV plane setup.
Iâve got a bunch of questions since Iâm new to the platform, but need to do some research first. I mainly wanted to say hello and warn that I may have more questions coming.
Sorry for that. We are consolidating domains. I assure you the he can be reached at nick @ auav.com and feel free to include me phil @ auav.com . By the way I manage the PayPal transactions and that is not the address we use.
Hmm interesting, because info@auav.co is exactly the address shown in the PayPal transaction. Ok thanks, donât want to clutter the thread so Iâll contact you directly to see if we can get this order rolling finally.
, so give it attitude locking and it flies like the perfect brick. From a fixed-wing on the other hand the pilot expects a natural behaviour so it doesnât necessarily need attitude locking but some still might want it.
