I’ve now tested the X8 a few times. It flies amazingly well, especially considering it’s not even tuned yet. I have completed the AltHold learning process by flying it in AltHold mode for at least 30 seconds, and in fact I did it twice and let it hover without stick input for at least 30 seconds on the second time. I went to:
Blockquote 1. Set these parameters on ground and preferably disarm (A confident pilot could set them in flight with GCS or CH6 tuning knob):
- PSC_ACCZ_I to 2 x MOT_THST_HOVER
- PSC_ACCZ_P to MOT_THST_HOVER
I set my PSC_ACCZ_I to be “0.33818” (2x MOT_THST_HOVER) and was about to set the PSC_ACCZ_P to be “0.16909” (my MOT_THST_HOVER.) However, when I did, Mission Planner popped up an alert box saying “PSC_ACCZ_P value is out of range. Do you want to continue?” Should I continue? Or does this seem way off? the difference between .5 and 0.16909 seems drastic, and considering how well it flies… I’m hesitant to do it yet. It does drop pretty drastically when I change from AltHold to Stabilize mode, as can be seen in the video:
