Rebuild is Finished!!! ...now make it feel like it used to

28 Views · Posted 7 years ago
Why is it that every time I rebuild a quad, regardless of whether I use the same exact parts or not, it feels and reacts so much differently than how it had just been flying before?

I swapped guts onto a fresh new Chameleon bottom plate (the revised stiffy version, YAY!!) except I put in a fresh Unify Pro, switched to an XSR receiver, and instead of just replacing the one broken motor I push a whole new set on and saved the three used ones for backups. Now it flies a little like donkey poo... Granted it's smooth as can be but punchouts are choppy and it's just not quite as "locked" feeling... **EDIT changed the way I had mounted the ESC / FC stack and tightened her up a bit and flew a few more packs while this video was uploading and now it flies like a dream :D ...almost :P haha, thinking since I don't have a bendy frame anymore I can probably go back to low filtering and have less noise in the motors, will keep playing around...
