Multirotor drift (newb)

Post by skymike »

Hi all,
Finally got to my first test flight, and am having some problems with drift!! Once I take off, my quad wants to drift back and to right. I would imagine its a pitch and roll issue? My question is how do I fix this with transmitter trims (turnigy 9x with er9x fw) before I start messing with PID?

I noticed in my GUI that when I reach full throttle motors front right(2), and back left(4) start decreasing speed!!!

I read the beginners thread from brewski, and my transmitter manual. Looking for the wisdom you guys have to make my process a little easier.

Until then I will be playing to figure it out.

Which flight mode????
Did you correctly adjust the TX's stick center values in the TX setup menu??
Did you read the MultiWii Wiki beginner's troubleshooting??

No idea what across mode is!!
Not a thread...it is a WIKI so just type into a goggle search "MultiWii Wiki".

I meant Acro mode, auto correct got me again :x

I found the Wiki, and was able to get rid of the drift, now on to different flight modes! :D

Need to get some more props now. Wish the weather would cooporate, my living room is to small do do anything but hover.
looking forward to the new chalenges this year, thanks for the boost!!
