    Thank you! Quick, simple, yet so effective!
    I'll keep looking for more tips of yours, Chief!
    Since I bought it November last year, never could really fly the CX-20 for various issues and troubles.
    Now 's the time!
    Thanks for having shared your science. Much of helper!

    I finally fixed it. calibrated the esc's according to this video. it was great. crashed after, just got the same exact motor, put it in, was shuddering. Replaced the rf esc and it fired up! since I saw your video, I bought a Parrot Bebop 2. Cats ass!

    you know whrere to buy compass wires and conncector. When I plug in my compass wire and put on the top the motors only go half throttle on full strange. I may have a short in wires but didnot think the compass would set motors.?

  • @jacksimple3766
    @jacksimple3766 5 лет назад

    how can you pass through throttle without arming at the end? will it need a restart and it would need arming first again?
    I think you can do esc calibration by plugging your mototors one by one into receiver arm channel, power via usb turn on tx max throttle plug in battery lower throttle disconnect batt repeat...

    • @bikemikem

  • @DwityandaruHananto
    @DwityandaruHananto 9 лет назад

    I was following your setup carefully my 3rd (CCW) motor speed were back to normal, but when all setup finished, I remove the battery, plug the power back and the mini usb, my quad doesn't saving the setup, it all came back to the previous setup (my 3rd CCW motor esc speed aren't the same with others). So, how do I supposed to save the setup to the esc?

    • @bikemikem
      @bikemikem 9 лет назад +2

      Dwityandaru Hananto The settings are saved when you complete the procedure. If one motor isn't spinning as quickly, perhaps it is a different issue. Maybe you haven't calibrated the accelerometer properly so the quad doesn't think it is level. If it doesn't think it is level it will apply more power to some motors and less to others. Try (CAREFULLY) holding and tilting the quad while applying a little throttle to see if that one motor will spin faster when you have the quad at a different angle. If so, it's probably the accelerometer calibration. Otherwise, search/ask in the forum I linked to in the description.

  • @davidlafrance8263
    @davidlafrance8263 9 лет назад

    Hey Mike: I replaced my 8" OEM props on my CX-20 with carbon fiber props and almost crashed the quad. With the 9" props it fly very unstable. I double checked the for proper prop rotation and all was fine...any clue on getting it to fly properly.

    • @bikemikem
      @bikemikem 9 лет назад

      Probably too much vibration. You need to balance the props and check the amount of vibration. The rcgroups forum thread has many posts about this.

  • @markvalis5521
    @markvalis5521 9 лет назад

    Soldering looks good on the quad, what should I check on the TX

    • @bikemikem
      @bikemikem 9 лет назад

      mark valis Nothing on the TX. Your problem is either the ESC, the connection between the ESC and the flight controller, or the flight controller. Try plugging the ESC directly into the receiver's throttle port (T) to rule out an ESC issue.

Example ,before the arm esc was making the front right and down right motor really hard in rotating, now is like this the left down ... the others motors are soft... it is make me creazy ... i make a really stupid thing when upgraded the firmware from mission planner.
