Betaflight - How much is excessive I gain?
#1
Hi,

My Chameleon on the whole flies great, but I get a bit of nodding about on the pitch axis when chopping the throttle, and being agressive with the throttle.  I tried BF anti gravity but it didn't work so well, even with the gain set at nearly 20.  I was getting some weird behaviour when cutting the throttle quickly before flipping etc.  The quad would kind of nod and do a wiggle on the yaw.

I bought some props and batteries the other day and was talking to Tom Smith, he suggested not using anti gravity, apparently he doesn't use it.  I set all I term gains to 50 and flew a few packs.  The quad is still flying well but still some movement.  I have raised the I on pitch to 80 and it is better but still not rock solid.  I also notice when flying forward in a stright line at speed some movement on both pitch and roll axis.  It actually looks OK in the HD footage but I can still tell it's there.

My question is, how high can I go with this before I get other issues, and is this normal?  What else should I try?  To note, my D gains are very low: 9 on roll, 10 on pitch.  Any higher and I get fluttering sort of sound with throttle.  I believe she's flying OK, seems to turn and do what I want pretty well.

Chameleon 5"

Many thanks,

could you make sure COG is centered?
what's your current setting by the way? post a CLI dump perhaps?
if you have blackbox log would even be better
