Hey All, 

I recently received a Newbeedrone Hummingbird (project Mockingbird) and have been enjoying flying it with my homemade gates etc. I have a problem, however, as the quad is running Silverware firmware, and when I throttle up in the Level mode (this quad is designed for level mode racing) it immediately starts floating back and to the left, back most prominently. I don't have a gyro to calibrate in betaflight (the silverware!) , but I think I can tune my outputs on my Taranis QX7 to compensate for any stick weirdness. I have the Hall Gimbals installed in my QX7 and I just ran the stick calibration on the radio this afternoon to make sure I was current with that, no change in the Hummingbird.

I've tried messing with the trim on my pitch output (I think) but it hasn't made any difference. I've tried going up and down with the middle position, and changing the subtrim.

Anyone able to steer me in the right direction? The quad is flyable, but it would be better if I didn't have to overcompensate for this pitch thing.

Thanks all!

It looks like you have to use what Silverware called gesture to start the accelerometer calibration.

BTW, you don't calibrate the gyro. It is actually the accelerometer, even in BF.

I will try this out and let you know. Thanks for the tip!

That worked, thank you so much!

Thanks for asking this.  I have a BetaFPV Meteor75 Lite which runs Silverware, and I sometimes saw that behavior when throttling up at first.  

After reading so many "just keep flying forward" comments on the forums, I assumed I need to throttle up with a little forward pitch even though I really would like to just rise up and hover first.

I'll give this "calibrate the accelerometers" gesture a try and see it works for me as well.
