Hi all,
After about a 4-month break over winter, I took the 'copter out recently and took mostly stills. In the few videos I took, I noticed some pretty nasty Jello-O, which I've never seen before.
• Today, I powered it up again. Didn't start the motors, and did about 40 seconds of video with the 'copter just sitting on the driveway. No Jell-O.
• Then, I physically picked it up and walked around with it and took another 40 seconds. No problem.
• Finally, I started the motors and hovered, taking more video. Noticed a very little bit of vibration, but because the batteries were at about 50% from the last flight, they pooped out pretty quickly and it landed itself.
So, I'm charging them up now and going to try again, but in the meantime, if I DO get more Jell-O, any thoughts on why?
Could the props be out of balance? I tilted the 'copter body and the camera seemed to compensate fine, so I don't think that's the problem.
Also, the Jell-O wasn't constant. It would come and go.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
