RE: UFO rocks back and forth
here's the scoop.
it rocks back and forth even more violently when i do not correct. i hung it on a string so i could see what happened, and it was not pretty. it was so violent that i had to stop after about 3 seconds, for fear of ripping the drywall screw out of the foam (that is what it hung from) however, not even full correction can make up for it, and all my travels are set to 100% right now.
it is early in the morning for me, so, what are you saying here? are we saying that i should bring my cg to neutral, or above the of the craft? the battery and radio equipment is currently housed in the lower extremity. the upper one is purely cosmetic. i could easily house my stuff there if need be. if it helps any, the model weighs 2 3/4 lbs.
what i am confuzed about is why it is unstable in the neutral position. it only starts to rock back and forth when my thrust/weight begins to reach 1:1, and it is not ground effect as i have hoisted it well above that and it still rocks. any ideas? i already have 2 peizo gyros onboard.
