Need help tuning a 250 quad (Newbie)
#1
Any ideas on how to make this fly better would be appreciated! I would like to know if there are ways to tune this and get a more precise response and not as much sloppy washed out turns. I'm still a newbie, so obviously I'm not blaming the quad just would like to know anything that others have found to help.
Thanks!

I used this guide. I was able to tune all my quads this way. Gets you 90% there and a pretty good flying quad.
https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight...ning-Guide

You will likely need Blackbox log to fine tune the last little bit if you are really anal.

It does looks like you have some oscillations issue. The guide should help.

You should switch to Betaflight firmware for FC and Blheli for esc's.
You also need more powerful motors/esc.
Naze32 is an outdated board these days.

Good Morning.....I agree with voodoo in that you do appear to have some oscillation issues which could benefit from further tuning.  As far as your turns go, I think what you mostly need is more practice.  You need to use pitch, roll, yaw and throttle to execute a "coordinated" turn.  From what I can tell you're mostly using yaw. You are entering the turns almost level and you're going to have slide (or washout as you put it) in that situation.  You have little speed entering your turns so in my humble opinion, you are not pushing the controller hard enough to be able to tell if it's got any problems (with regards to tuning) in the turns.

I am not a professional pilot by any stretch so these are just my opinions and describe some of the issues I faced when learning to execute a turn.  The biggest thing is practice practice and more practice. Big Grin
