- In this video I cover the common things to check if your model tips off on take off. There are other things that cause this but the tips in this video should help resolve and solve 95% of the cases.
You need to check - motor connections, motor rotation, prop rotation and installation, accelerometer calibration, let the model initiailiase on a level surface and check the radio is setup ok.
Thanks for watching, I hope this video helps those newer builders and Pilots avoid too much head scratching if this happens to them!

Happy flying!
Thank you for this video. It solved my frustration on flipping on take off. I turned my flight board 90 degrees and it finally lifted off. Thank you again
You're welcome, glad it helped. It's always heart-breaking when the model decides to try and self-destruct and undo all those hours of building! Happy flying!
Once again your video was exactly what I needed. Rookie mistake: had two ESC's mixed up and wouldn't have thought of it without your help. Cheers!
Lifesaver man! Thought I was too careful to cross the ESC cables on the FC but when I checked individual motors in Cleanflight turns out 3 and 4 were crossed. Got it too hover now thank you!
+Akex Steele you’re welcome. It is easy to do when you are trying to be neat. Happy flying!
THANK YOU , THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I'm a heli Guy and but I want to try FPV Racing. Started building a ZMR250 yesterday evening. Took it out for the maiden this evening with the result being it flipping over immediately. Your first tip was the item I has missed. I assume it would be mapped in the SW. So I rearranged the ESC signal leads, took it outside and started flying about my front lawn.
+VD2021 Great news - happy flying!
THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN! I feel so stupid, but so satisfied that my quadcopter lifts properly now! Turns out my motor 2 and 3 were mixed up! :)
+frost glad it's sorted! It's way to do when building.. Happy flying!
In LibrePilot there is a check box under Configuration, Stabilization, Basic, at bottom left check "Zero the integral when throttle is low". That fixed flipping on takeoff for my homebuilt quad. Before that it always wanted to tip over when taking off. Another thing to check is ESC calibration. I had to go into BLHeliSuite and turn on "Allow programming with transmitter", then go through ESC calibration in LibrePilot, then go back into BLHeli and turn it off.
thanks for the help I'm gonna do it all again and see if I missed something ,it will take me a while but I should be able to get back to you tonight if I still can't get it in the air .I'm hoping I missed something too.thanx again
Thanks to this video... Figured out why my quad flips on takeoff... Had all my motors plugged in the wrong flight controller outputs...
Yep, the most common reason and something we've done twice too (in the early days). Glad you sorted it - happy flying!
Extremely useful - I messed up accel calibrations on the CC3D revo because it insists on setting a home location.
That need to set home is a pain IMHO..
Great video mate, we need more like these that everyone can default to especially when you're building your first quad (like me). OODLES of mistakes!
+webslingernz Hey, we all have done most of these at least once ;) All part of the learning process..
I have checked all of these things ,and I am going back through all things on this video and I'm going to try it again.I could not get my escs to calibrate properly through the gui,but I did do a manual Cali with throttle channel on rx before installing the motors on my nighthawk 250 ,my quad is almost exactly like the one on this video.I will describe .nighthawk 250,qav 250 clone w,cobra 2204/2300 kv,lumineer Simon k autoshot 20 amp esc ,seriously pro f3 control board, lumineer 4s batt and spectrum dx6 running pwm lemon rx.I'm having trouble with it flipping like this so I'm going to run back through what your video described again as I have been through pretty much all this stuff I'm thinking I need to recalibrate escs again,it is the only thing that didn't go right through gui,so I will do it manually through received again.I haven't messed with pids at all they are exactly like they came .I thank u for all your help and your videos are great I just seem to be snakebit on the naze ,f3and cc3d.I have several of each of these and can't seem to get any of them in the air .I would really like to get this f3 in the air .I've never had these sort of problems out of any of my kk2 ,or nazas.Help me please.
You will have missed something basic. Connect to the GUI and confirm the virtual model moves in exactly the same way as the physical model, make sure that the controls are not reversed and the channel values are in the ranges discussed in the SP3 videos . Recalibrate the ESCs and try again.
thank you so much, your video save my time to figure what is the cause of my problem.
Glad the video helped - happy flying!
Am I the only one that noticed the chewbaca noise at 1:06?
Nope
that was the first thing that came up in my mind
yeah i noticed!..lol
Baby elephant?
Good humour
thank you again, some how i got my motor hook up wrong ,it flying great now
Great video! I had the same problem but the issue was not mentioned in this video and want to share it. My mistake is stupid but happend because I wanted the USB connector located so I could connect it easy. This was the reason that I did not place the flight controller face front :( stupid mistake but it causes to flip my quad (no damage done).
We cover this in the 'Quadcopter building for beginners' series in some depth and also cover it as one of the primary reasons in the 'What to check if you flip on take-off' video too. Thanks for commenting here to help others. Happy flying!
I have another cause for flipping on takeoff that I didn't see listed. I have an SP3 Deluxe on a ZMR 250 with a PDB and I wired the motors up through the PDB. I had all of it done correctly except when I went to plug the FC into the PDB I was short one wire. I just grabbed a single connector wire and plugged it in. I noticed the motor lagging when powering it up through Clean Flight and just went with it. It did a slow flip rather than the fast flip it was doing when I had the FC in backwards. I bought some 3 pin connectors and trimmed 2 off of one and used the other one to power the other 3 motors and VOILA! It flies now! I have had so many problems with my past two builds I was ready to quit. First I used screws that were too long for the motors and trashed 3 of them. Then I burned up a set of ESC's then this problem. Now that I finally have it solved I am back in!
thank you thank you thank you I was recording on my dominators so I was able to go back and look I did move the quad again before I took off bet that's what messed me up I didn't even realize I did that
As always, just what I needed. Thanks again.
Thank you man ! it stopped flipping!!!
Hello .
Love your tutorials , very informative indeed !! Thank you for the excellent work on them ..Cheers.
Lol had my props upside down for half a year.
Thank you very much
It helped me
Legend u solved ma problem thanks dude
I have a Zmr250 frame with emax2300kv motors, 30amp Little Bee Esc, and SP Racing F3. Running newest beta flight. Using Devo7e with deviation 5.0 and a Devo rx701 for control. Everything checks out in beta flight, values are good and steady at 1500, Arms from switch and motors spin up no problem. All motors are wired in the correct order and confirmed that they are spinning in the correct direction. (Bl Heli suite reversed 2 and 4). Tried bi blade and tri blade props, checked prop orientation multiple times.
Airmode is active and spins up motors when I arm the quad. I can see there is control on pitch and roll axis, but as soon as I give it a little throttle the motors shoot up to full speed and it flips out of control off the ground...tried this 3 times now and I've taken a chunk out of my antennas and chopped a pole of my aomway vtx antenna :( Please let me know any ideas of what to try!
Don't use airmode on or near the ground. I'd have angle mode and nothing else the take off from. Airmode can freak out and flip the quad when taking off/landing sometimes..
Tried it without air mode and still flipped. Im using a PWM receiver is there any other special setting in beta flight to account for that besides selecting it as the Rx type?
+apparitionofyou the video has all of the common problems that would cause a flip. I'd double check...
You are the best....thank you
hi mate I know it's an old post but I've just stripped down my f 450 and put everything onto my new frame I've checked the motors are spinning the right way I've checked the Naza flight control is pointing the right way and also I checked make sure that the props are on the right way but now everytime I go to take off it's still flipping over but it was ok on my old frame before I swapped it over
Not sure if everything in the video checks out. Most commonly it's the motors connected in the wrong order to the FC.. Best of luck!
Painless360 do it mate I've got 2 spare motor swoped the fronts first now ok it was nose driveing when I yar I did have to extend one of the motor wire may be it was faulty
I turst "Painless"360 mot]re then the mfr son thanks akot for these good videos!!
I had this happen to me, it was the reveres trim clocked to
98. A Quad I purchased off Ebay?
Hope this helps people
Make sure the arrow on the FC is pointing to the front.
I forgot to ask one quick thing in my previous comment.... are there any additions/changes to be done or not to be done related to basic setup, bluetooth, GPS etc shown in your videos if i am using multiwii 2.4 firmware???
Hi there, thanks very much for this video. In your experience, is there likely to be any damage to motors if a drone flips onto its side on take off? I foolishly did this last night because props were on the wrong motors. One prop was damaged, that was it. Would appreciate your expertise. Many thanks
If the prop is damaged then replace them, it's not worth risking the model for the price of a prop.. Best of luck!
Painless360 thanks! One prop was damaged but I was wondering if their forcibly stopping (due to impact) is likely to have damaged the motors....
Hi m8 just swapped all 4 esc now flips to the right everything wired right props right the whole done right so is it a brand new but faulty esc? Cheers and happy flying to all people;)
just built my 5th quad, SUPER carefully....a 5 inch toothpick GEPRC 20a ESC AIO on 2203 stanfpv motors, flips instantly....default bf settings. default esc settings, all motors are correct, spin the right direction all that. accelerometer works fine, gyro seems fine i think? cant figure this one out I am stumped.
You've definitely missed something. I'd check the motors are connected to the right outputs too.. Best of luck!
@@Painless360 thanks for the response! Yeah, when I check the motors in beta flight configurator, all the motors are in the proper spot and spinning the right direction… although this AIO board was acting quite bizarre when I was setting it up. I was attempting to flash the esc firmware… I first tried blheli_m, then JESC, then eventually landed on bluejay because whenever I plugged in my battery and clicked “read” it would detect different esc’s on the same board! It’s a 4in1 I don’t get it? I hope it’s not a faulty board because it’s more trouble than it’s worth trying to get any sort of support from anyone. I’m starting to wonder if 2203 motors are too big for the geprc dolphin’s 20a AIO board? Idno. I’m still trying to get to the bottom of it.
I just got a falcon 180 but my motors don't seem to punch fast and only hovers, now won't connect to cleanflight when I was already connected.
Happy to help but please watch czcams.com/video/olIqTiSJHIY/video.html and come back to me with more detail of what you've tried..
I did an FPV landing on a curved barn roof some distance away, took off and it flipped which was bad as it slid down then fell off the side 25ft straight onto the ground.
was wondering if a leg got snagged on a bolt but maybe it was the FC over compensating for it being out of level?. It was leaning slightly to the right then flipped to the left on take off.
+RemFireball I'd suspect that something was snagged or one of the blades was getting caught. The FC will try and pull the model up to level as quickly as possible on take off so maybe it levelled out and some of the props brushed the roof? Best of luck with the repairs!
+Painless360 Got it on video so I may post it later, didn't here any grinding sounds, its a HMF Y600 and has a long legs to. Pretty sure the low prop spooled up first and had the inertia advantage when I then punched the throttle.
Cheers, hopefully I only bust a prop, the tail yaw assy, and the FPV camera tilt mount - the benefits of a smallish model.
thank you so so much for the multiwii video series it helped many newbies like me to build their own quads...... and thanks for all the tips in this video. I am having issues with various components on my quad thought this is the place where i can ask them all... any help on these will be much appreciated.
1) ESC -- even though i calibrate all the ESCs individually, 1 and some times 2 motors [specifically D10, D11) are spinning late, starts at 25% of the throttle. How to calibrate them through FC? and is there any other way to calibrate them?
2) ESC -- Just with couple of tries one of the fours ESCs is failing. this happened twice now not sure what is happening.
3) GPS -- I am having SE 2.6 board with 2.4 firmware on it. For some reason GPS wont fix, when i connect GPS module to FC and FC to system i see lat log and all the other data in the multiwii GUI but, GPS fix is red. i2c is always blinking once instead of 3 blinks.
4)Bluetooth -- I think APPLE doesnt have a proper app for multiwii configuration. the one that is out there doesnt connect to the HM-06 module on my quad at all. I am pretty sure module is good as i see it on my laptop under bluetooth devices but, i dont see it on my iphone or the multiwii app.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
A lot in there! 1) See our video on manual calibration 2) Depends what you mean by 'failing' 3)See our video on troubleshooting GPS in the Multiwii series. 4)We don't use apple here - sorry! Happy flying!
Thanks for your reply....
1) i did manual calibration as shown in one of your videos but, still two motors start little late than others. That is the reason i want to go with calibrating motors through FC.
2) failing - motor is jerks initially then at 25% it rotates and then 30-40% stops working when i connect it to battery. i tested the motor with other ESCs and it works fine. it happened with two ESCs now.
3) I did everything from scratch and GPS works now again thanks for your video.
4) borrowed an andriod phone from a friend to test the bluetooth, phone connects to the bluetooth but, light on bluetooth is solid red instead of green and i dont see any readings on the app. i have double verified the settings and the values from your video still no luck.
Every time I roll left or right the quad will not return to beginning position unless I go to opposite direction to level it. I never ran into this problem before and I'm using a radiolink a10. Any ideas?
Yep, check the flight mode you have setup on the flight controller. if you want it to return to level on it's own then you need to have something called 'Angle' or Horizon' selected. Best of luck!
ive done all of the following and it fixed the flipping issue but now the quad wont take off even at full throttle. any idea whats wrong?
Depends on what you've tried already and what the problem was you just fixed..
My quadcopter flips on takeoff. Im using an apm 2.8 and I tried holding it above my head (probobly not my smartest idea) to see if it would correct properly. When I tilted it one way, it would correct to keep flipping it in that direction as if it were reversed. Maybe there is a setting to fix that in mission planner? I calibrated the accelerometer many times and it doesn't help. Thanks in advance. Jesse
So what were the results of the checks mentioned in the video?
I checked the motor direction and props. Made sure the apm was facing the right direction. I have the default pids still set. I have tried unplugging it and plugging it back in again. Also recalibrated the escs. Nothing seems to work.
Not sure then if the motors, are right, props on the right way, artificial horizon works fine in the GUI then it should work. Best of luck with it.
Very very helpful thank you but why do my motors spin up with props on brother Painless 360?
I'm not sure I understand the question, can you rephrase?
When I arm my quad with the props the motors spin up with just a slight positive input how can I fix that
That's how it should with motor stop turned on. See my Betaflight BNF setup and quad build for beginners series for how I set them up.. best of luck!
Motor stop is turned off but airmode is on
I have one motor that won't go full speed when the throttle is at 100%.
when I put my throttle at 0 to 50%, it does gets faster, above that the motor would just go slower.
I did notice that the propeller lifts up like its going to get off the motor, and the rotation is not smooth.
Sounds like it needs re-calibrating.. Best of luck!
Hi there, thanks for your video, it helped solve at least one problem anyway! would you be able to help me with this though? Ive built a hex with a pixhawk 2 controller..... i go to takeoff in stabilise mode but i notice the motors slowly increasing in speed without my input. any ideas what might be the problem? thanks in advance for any help :-).
+Dan brown that’s normal if you’re sat on the bench.. see my video on it..
thanks a lot!!! :D
Hi there! hope you can help me on this issue.. Assembled my 3rd quad with all new parts, calibrated esc, motor and props rotating correctly, battery fully charged. Quad is not heavy lighter than my previous build.
However it wont lift, motor spin fast when throttle up however it seems like doesnt want to lift. I tried switching from dshot to multishot it lift the quad to 1 to 2 feet the just hopping around light a frog.. Any thoughts on this issue?
Lots, I'd check that the ESCs are actually calibrated, the props are not on upside down and the throttle range on the radio is ok.. Best of luck!
hey my esc are not calibrating after trying 20 to 30 times.my 2 back esc are running late.what can i do?
Happy to help but please watch czcams.com/video/olIqTiSJHIY/video.html and come back to me with more detail of what you've tried..
If I takeoff too slow, the quadcopter wants to move forward and it tips forward - often breaking a prop. I have the same problem when landing - RTL and auto-land also cause it to tip forward. After it is in flight it is relatively well trimmed. I like to destroy props on takeoff and landing, but want to stop this.
Any suggestions?
+Roy Lawson I've not seen that, you can get issues settling I to the ground effect/dirty air bouncing back from the ground but it shouldn't tip over..
Hey, what can I do when my quad vibrates, but only when arming and on low throttle? Could this be down to a bad tune, my props and motors aren't the problem.
If you've balanced the props and motors when you may be hitting the resonant frequency of the frame you're using. Id re-check the motors and props and look at maybe using some form of physical dampening on the model. Best of luck!
Chewbaca is present ;)
+Ricardo Smits :)
still flipping over, i have followed all the steps? so i was thinking could vibration cause this also? i bought the hobbyking 250 carbon quad using cc3d 1806 diy motor blheli 20 amp xm esc. the motors are correct directions i followed everything the controls are right directions all i do is start to lift and it roll flips to the left. so this model came pnp and it does not have a vibration pad the fc is mounted directly to nylon standoffs direct to the frame. could this be why or? could you give me good set of pid to start or suggest what i need to do maybe? thanks i did like the video.
Not sure what to suggest. I'd recheck the artificial horizon moves in the GUI on the PC and do another check on the motors, if it's new I'd get back in touch with the vendor...
+Painless360 what if the horizon is in reverse when you tilt the nose up and down on the GUI?
Hi,In my quad a single motor is spinning fast
What is happening is if I give a small throttle input one single motor starts spinning faster and faster to max speed and flips !
What can be the problem ?
Could be lots of things. Happy to help but please watch czcams.com/video/olIqTiSJHIY/video.html and come back to me with more detail of what you've tried..
Hello again , I found one of my motor were not rotating at the right speed (some Moto problem) after replacing them my quad is flies great thanks for the support !!
I'm thinking of making a video of me making my drone and would love to recommend painless360 in my video for all the great tutorials and support that the channel gives for beginners like me (with your permission obviously).
Thank you! I had wired the quad as a cc3d but the fc is a Naze32. Undesirable results occurred.
You're welcome - we've all done it! ;D
Still waiting on those tips about how to charge with summer voltage versus winter voltage since none of the manufactures put that option on any of these devices nowadays ;)
+Hiway :)
My Top-Race TR-Q511 Drone was working until it flew into a creek and was somewhat submerged. The next time I attempted a take off two of the propellers spun while the other ones did not and the drone flipped over. Is this a problem that I can fix or is it waterlogged? Thanks
+Thomas Quirk you need to make sure that the model is thoroughly dry before attempting to power it up again.. if the water wasn't salty the it should all come back to like when its dry.. best of luck!
The water was not salty and so the water is causing the drone's propellers to not spin. Is it an issue that I attempted to power up the drone after it landed in the water?
There are electronics that are not waterproof in the ESC and other places too..
painless360 hi i made a silly mistake by plugging 2nd motor in to the 3rd and i was flipping lick crazy but there sorted now then i calibrated the accel @ mag but it didnt do the esc & motors do i have to do esc aswell or will i be better just hitting the reset in setup i setting it all up from star after i swapped they plugs over it keeps lifting right up on the motor 1 arm and flipping that one arm motor 1 im not sure if i should or need to do a reset and try setting it up fresh
It's not a silly mistake - most builders have done it ;) I'd simply calibrate the ESCs and you should be about there.. Best of luck!
+Painless360 thanks very much i did accel & mag calibration & esc everything seems ok but iv not tried it yet hopefully I will have better luck today when I give it a try
I realised that 1 of the motors is a bit sluggish and when I throttle it , the copter rises and it slowly flips over to one side constantly (flips towards the sluggish motor). To add on, that motor will suddenly stop spinning but it does not happen all the time. 1 thing I realised is when I off the throttle, that motor will stop spinning first before the rest of the motors every single time. My ESCs were recalibrated but the problem still remains the same. Do I have to change that sluggish motor or is there something else (I am using naze32 by the way)?
Motor: Emax 2204 2300KV ccw
I'd re-calibrate the ESCs. Best of luck!
wow, you have almost the exact same problem/specs i do, i have been dealing with this problem for so long, but nothing i find on the internet has worked, have you found the solution?. If so, please tell me what to do
I am running a full set of 6 AX 4008Q-620KV motors on my Tarot 680Pro, however the stems are all clockwise tightening cap nut installations. Am I doing something wrong? I've seen with some motors, if it's a right turning blade, then the cap nut installs counter clockwise.
Not all motors have CW/CCW threads - sounds like yours don't. Just make sure they are tightly nipped and they won't come undone.. Best of luck!
Thanks a bunch. May end up going Nylock nuts. Not pretty, but probably for the best. We'll see after a flight or two how badly those cap nuts back off.
Why my hexacopter won't fly.? All esc and motor are working well.. Plss help.. Thanks
Tricky to comment without knowing more about what you’ve already tried. What troubleshooting have you already done?
hello.. my apm is arming and couldn't take off for some reason.. Throttle is very less even at the maximum position. someone said Thr_max is corrupted for some firmwares and I've fixed that as well (change thr_max from 80 to 1000). And this gave me no luck
See our APM series for how we get one flying.. calibration of the ESCs and checking props are not on upside down are vital. Best of luck!
Painless360
Hmm mine only wobbles in angle mode, acro mode is fine. Takes off then extreme wobbles happen and it flips, any ideas?
+calzaggii22 Sounds like the PID settings for autolevel. You don't mention the flight controller you are using so I'd use the forums and Google to find tips. Best of luck!
+Painless360 Thanks, its a skyline32 board. I'll adjust the PIDs and see if that helps. I found that testing the quad hovering over a bed is a good way to check settings as to avoid breaking props and even worse, arms
I flew mine for about 5 mins with no problems then it just crash dived & now all it wants to do is flip over. What could be the problem any help appreciated.
It could be lots of things. What troubleshooting have you already tried?
@@Painless360 all good I hope . I have just had another look & found a dodgy gear drive.
???
I just jumped to 4s, and my quad has been rock solid before using it. Now all of a sudden maybe a minute in it flips over instantly. I have cheap ESC'S rated for 2-3 cells, do you think that's the issue or should I do a tear down and check all connections?
Sounds like one of the ESCs is overheating and cutting out. If you're running a bigger pack you need ESCs that are rated for that.. Best of luck!
Painless360 thx for the speedy reply. I rely on your channel for a lot and your hard work is really appreciate by me at least. I figured there may be a problem but I'm a tryer so I like to push me luck. 5 props later I think we have an answer lol.
You can push it all you want but the electronics will let go if they've had enough ;) Best of luck with the new ESCs..
I am using a kk2 board and it is simply correcting in the wrong direction meaning it is amplifying the unwanted movement even more, is there a setting to reverse this?
+Ultra rc Yes, normally on the radio, reverse the control that is backwards. Best of luck.
+Painless360 the channels are correct in the radio, but when the gyro senses the quad moving to the left it corrects its self by further moving to the left making it flip very vilolently on take of because the flip gets amplifyed by the gyros.
Then I would check the board itself. Ensure that the front is towards the front (!) and that all of the motors are installed in the right outputs on the board.. I have a video that covers flipping on take off..
Would you recommend a module like the FS-GT3 from Banggood, as opposed to the Frysky Tx Module, both have Telemetry. Also do you know if the Frysky one will work with stock Flysky receivers?
+owenkilleen That is a ground radio and only has 3 channels. You need 5 at least for a multirotors (throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder and flight mode). Best of luck.
The FS-GT3 is the module that sits on the back of a Flysky fs-th9x, that has nine...effectively eight channel. It's sold with premise it has telemetry.
Without a URL link to the actual item I'll be guessing that what product you mean... Best of luck.
www.banggood.com/Wholesale-Flysky-FS-GT3-Telemetry-Module-FS-RM002-For-2_4G-9CH-FS-TH9X-Transmitter-p-66598.html Ta Daaaa :)
I see! I've never used that or any of their products so can't comment from my own experience but a lot of the reviews for it are very positive. Best of luck..
thanks
any idea why the drone flips forward on take off ?
+Mohamed Medjahed all the basic problems are covered in this video. Best of luck
Great video but didn't fix my problem :/
I had a flip and hit the reset in betaflight before realizing my FC was oriented wrong.. after fixing that it flipped again because I forget to redo all the settings I wiped out lol
Now it doesn't want to flip but does more of a dance as soon as throttle is applied, like its riding around the inside of a big salad bowl, which ultimately catches a prop and causes a flip :(
I will be making a video this weekend in hopes that somebody can help me
+Mike Peterson it happens to all of us. ;) most likely you'll have made a little mistake, or missed a step when you were putting the model together. Check out the 'quadcopter building for beginners series' where I go through all of the steps that might help as well. Best of luck!
I have an S550 hexacopter which is flipping in takeoff, is there anything else that I can check that isn't mentioned in this video? Everything in the video I have checked, and still no luck :( Would appreciate any help :)
Quite a few things. Things like this are best fixed with a Skype chat but are not free. Let me know
+Painless360 samus.hepburnus
That's my Skype, I'm happy to pay
Let's plan to take a look at it. Send me an email with as many images of the model and wiring as you can and then we can arrange a time to chat..
+Painless360 Okay
+Painless360 email sent :)
Need help !! My eachine keeps flipping over wen I have my run cam on it. It fys perfect with it off . Should I change pid??? If so Wat part so I wail be more stable with camera on top
Adding a camera shouldn't make that happen. Adding a camera will adjust the COG slightly so a small move of the battery will be needed to move the COG back to where it needs to be. Apart from that, I can't think of what would be causing that. I'd check that it's not interfering with anything when the camera is fitted. Best of luck!
ok so move battery more to the back or front
can you use a 1300mah 75c 14.8v batt on eachine
Have a look at the ESC and battery specs with the props you are using to see if the ESCs can handle the current with a 4s pack. See out 'Quadcopter building for beginners' series for how to do that. Best of luck!
I'm having a problem with throttle.
When i increase throttle, only 2 motors increase speed, the other remain the same.
If I move any other sticks, all motors (including the others that don't increase speed! ) respond correctly, with yaw pitch.
Only the throttle has this problem, can anyone help?
And in betaflight if I increase throttle on all motors in the master slider, all motors spin equally.
This only happens when increasing throttle with my transmitter.
I already tried calibrating ESC, but no luck.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be?
Could be a few things. Depends on the firmware you're using. What troubleshooting have you already done?
@@Painless360 I calibrated the ESCs and all, but I think I found a solution.
Turning on Air Mode in betaflight, makes the motors increase speed evenly, so the problem appears to be fixed.
I would want to know why that would need to be on though, anyways, thanks for your response. If you great videos and did this drone with your help.
(After a little crash) Mine will hover fine but flips with any mid to sharp input from throttle, pitch, or roll
+UYP Studio what troubleshooting have you already tried?
I recalibrated the escs, accelerometer, and reset my pids
+UYP Studio non of those would be affected by a crash. I'd check the motors and props for vibration, confirm the model moves OK in the GUI (confirm acc and gyros are ok) and that the radio channels move OK in the GUI too (loose cables/rx issue) etc. You will need to be methodical and check everything you did in the build. Best of luck!
Painless360 Thanks anyway. I found that my motor was sticking. Bought to buy a replacement an try again
Yep, first thing I suggested. It may be much in the bearings so flush them with bearing oil, you may get it back.. Best of luck!
well，i do all the checklist，but when my RC get up,it still auto move to one direction .the speed of trail left Motor seem too high－－。 can you give me some suggestions~ appreciate :}
+徐起笙 Not without more detail. I'd see if we have a video series for the flight controller you are using and watch the build/setup videos for tips.. Best of luck!
thank you at all.i wii check your series again
hey man so what i did is got a phantom 1 electronics and put it into a phantom 2 shell and so i put on new starracing motors same kv and so i had to rotate the naza 180° and when i try unlock the motors everything seems to spin fine but when i try to take off the drone instaflips i don't know what to do everything seems fine people told me that i might need to calibrate something but i don't know what please help (:
Rc_ KiNg see my video on what to check if your craft flips on takeoff. By rotating the flight controller 180 degrees youve created a problem that you need to sort out in software. The flight controller will be collecting in completely the wrong direction now causing the craft to flip. Best of luck
thank you and how do i fix the software thing?? what should i download on laptop?
Rc_ KiNg no idea, I don't use dji kit..
uhhhh okayyy btw what's weird is that when i unlock the motor's and from center i give it about 10% throttle and it seems like it goes to full throttle without me even going all the way up on the remote is that also something i can fix thru software?
Watch that video I mentioned..
Hi, If you Could Help Me, Mine Did this MID Flight, Note mine is a store bought, not built Hexacopter, and now does it on take off, if anyone could be of assistance it would be greatly appreciated
I'd look in the forums for other pilots who've had the same problem. Things like installing props upside down can cause this.. Best of luck!
Yeah... Tried that all day, and nothing couldnt find anything like it
i believe my copter flips because of not calibrating escs, but i cant calibrate. the mission planner says 'set param error. please ensure your version is AC3.3+. though i searched on google, i cant understand this message. what does this message mean and what should i do? sorry for keep asking to you......
You just need to load install arcucopter v3.3 onto your APM board. You can do this from the initial setup tab in mission planner. You can support the channel by becoming a Patreon, visit www.patreon.com/painless360. Happy flying!
+Painless360 thank you!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
+Painless360 thank you!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You're welcome :)
in the initial setup i installed the firmware and it still doesn't work. im not sure i passed the right process. and at the top of the mission planner( above the word simulation) it says arducopter V3.2.1
any idea what the problem is?
How do you fix it on a drone any drone
+Web's gaming sorry, I don't understand the question
we tryed everything but the drone still flips on take off can someone please try to help
+duck 17 so what have you checked already?
Painless360 we checked everything on this video everything is correct and it Is still flipping do you have any suggestions
I'd suspect the board is everything checks out in this video. A reflash may not be a bad idea..
Painless360 I am really new to this how do I reflash
I'd suggest you watch the 'Quadcopter building for Beginners' series on the channel. We cover every step. Best of luck!
Am I the only one that hears him say he wants to show us his little tip at 1:10?
Chewbacca aways saying hello
+Ricardo Costa :)
i heard chewbacca
+Erk Gaming you did! Happy flying!

Just because i changed my profile pic to more closely represent the real me doesn't mean i shouldn't be taken seriously.
I'm just devastated you didn't use my make sure your in angle mode tip.
Yes Kidding and yes too much time to waste.
Tip 2, Don't fly drunk.
+Vic Prk (Slick Vic) it opens a whole new world trying to freestyle a 250 in a small park , a bid tipsy onley 5 broken props, not bad ey?
Learn much faster, no fear any more XD
+Dragon69Fly I know my limitations, broke 3 props before i got off the ground. I will never be racing anything.
Happy just to hover for video and RTH when I loose it, which I always do.
+Vic Prk (Slick Vic) I will never be a pro racer, but picking up speed fast. In the beginning i couldn't count my broken props, now i'm realy pushing it to brake them.
Don't worry about speed, before you know it youre freestyling to. Don't be afraid to fly in verry tied spaces. Best place to learn. a drop from a few meters/feet won't brake youre mini quad, just a few props. In the beginning i was afraid and only fly open spaces. Didn't realy learn becouse there was simpel to much space and didn't try enough. i learned to fly in small spaces in 3 flight packs. those high quality props are pretty darn strong though, i stop using those flimsy gamfans.
Good luck :)
If you don't crash , you didn't flew XD
+Dragon69Fly I should clarify, I built my own wooden quad from beech and plywood, 40" (1016mm) prop tip to tip. 26" (660mm)motor shaft to shaft diagonal. Weighs same as the store bough i purchased and takes more of a beating. At 3 or 4 times the cost of a mini u can understand why i don't take many chances. Then there is the slower reflexes of a 67 yr old fart who's brain doesn't know what the hell his left hand is doing.
Yours is good advice though.
+Dragon69Fly Forgot to mention it weighs 5.5 lbs. Dropped it from 30" onto a steel guardrail and only dinged 1 motor, 40 bucks!
