Pixhawk running copter FW 3.2-1 450mm quad 1000kv motors 10 x 4.5 props
My quad seems to fly okay but in forward flight, even at relatively slow speeds, [ 7 mps ] you can really hear the throttle going up and down a lot. Like it’s bouncing. Almost like it’s pids are too high for throttle or something. Much more noticeable when it’s a bit breezy. I tried turning down the pids for alt hold P and throttle P but put them back after it didn’t seem to make any difference. I have the pixhawk covered well and forward flight does not effect altitude. Any idea’s anyone? I could post a log if that would help. Thank you

Here’s the log on droneshare. It was bigger than 2MB. That really should be bumped to max of 5MB or something 2MB is a bit small IMHO

your z accel looks very bad. is your flight controller vibration mounted? If it is, is it hitting something as it moves on its mounts?
The spikes look too big to be a result of the jumping, I think they are the cause of the jumping. Loocing at RCout 1, it can bee seen that the motor demand goes up after the accel z spike, which backs up my theory on the accel issue causing the problem

Well I’ll be darned maybe your right. I have a piece of clear plexi glass over the pixhawk. I just installed a new gps and the wire is fatter than the old one. Looks like it’s pinched a bit between the glass and the pixhawk so that could be negating the gel pad mounting. I’ll raise the glass and see if that helps. thx

Yup… that was it. Thanks
