Default RE: Building a DraganFlyer - need to mix speedcontrollers - HELP

you may have some stability issues. your battery is very close to your rotor disks. that will make the cg very high as the battery will most likely be your heaviest single component. move it as far down as you can or you will be constantly on the sticks just trying to keep it level. remember, the motors are not identical (even if they are the same model) and there are little variations and stuff. even just the wind from you walking by could make that thing flip over. i had a design much like that originally but now my cg is much farther down and it flies a ton better. unfortunatly, my battery is fried and my motors are not mounted as i completely redid the top half of this craft and i am busy working on my new yak 54, which kinda takes priority. i will get this thing up and going as soon as i can.
