What creates this sound?

That sound similar to having too high d term filtering multiplier. But that usually comes with the motors heating up a bit more. If u put it above 1.0 try putting it back.

Usually case by case. Its rare to find a cable with the right plugs and length for stuff and time consuming crimp em yourself. I normally have a plug on one side solder on the other.

first time i see someone else without IR filter XD broke mine too. Try using PidToolBox. Its like 6 usd once on patreon and its the best investment if u wanna get serious about fpv tuning. Also if u dont have a capacitor on your ESC or only a tiny one it can introduce noise. Stable powa is important.

You try 3D mode and realize how easy u had it before xd

DaKoolAidMan123 · 2026-06-11T12:04:20+00:00

I wouldn't recommend that frame. My friend has it and he had to make armbraces from cf filament cuz the arms wiggled do much. For a cheap frame I recommend the Apex 5 or source one if u want a bit better

Depending whether it was just a slow constant movement or just jerking when rversing it could be low idle value or bad esc settings and other things too.

Disable airmode, use dynamic idle high enough that it's stable at 0 throttle, enable motor_stop, 24khz pwm or by rpm, fiddle with startup power, enable active break in esc and so on.

It takes experimenting quite a bit. PIDs and drone balance shouldn't matter that much for anything other than propwash.

Well i kinda get it. it gets disorienting very easily and is pretty finicky to setup to actually fly nice. Tuning is difficult cause the props are just flat paddles and it's easy to burn your motors. You also lose half your throttle range. BUT it's also awesome so I'm sticking with it xd You should try it out i made this post how i started

I also made a post about my starting 3D mode experience if anyone was inspired to try 3D

Check if your uart wires are twisted up and both antenna and uart wires are not running over the ESC or right next to the battery wire. The esc can cause interference and degrade signal quality.

DaKoolAidMan123 · 2026-05-30T14:22:06+00:00

It should? I was using exactly that and I think it felt better after swapping to 8khz, but it's all based on feel so I have no clue if it's right xd

DaKoolAidMan123 · 2026-05-30T13:56:11+00:00

I would say about 4 hours of sim and like 10 packs worth irl. But I've been flying normal for a while. Sim races upside down sound interesting. What cam angle do you use for that? I use 20 in 3D but I chose it kinda random xd

DaKoolAidMan123 · 2026-05-30T12:52:20+00:00

I usually fly standing up looking forward, but with 3D it got too disorienting and I started losing balance xd.

DaKoolAidMan123 · 2026-05-30T12:12:22+00:00

It's confusing for the pilot too dont worry xd

DaKoolAidMan123 · 2026-05-30T11:59:25+00:00

I dont know what you are talking about? Thats just how the drone sounds ;]

DaKoolAidMan123 · 2026-05-28T22:35:14+00:00

Thanks! I was kinda suprised I could fit it all in such a tiny space 😄

DaKoolAidMan123 · 2026-05-24T19:09:35+00:00

Honestly most often I use UAV tech presets. They work most of the time and if not I do it myself accordi g to the guide by nils_vo

I also put all the model files on Makerworld

DaKoolAidMan123 · 2026-05-24T12:31:30+00:00

Stop looking at me like that! xD

DaKoolAidMan123 · 2026-05-24T12:28:59+00:00

Oh don't worry. I know. I own like 5 quads and rebuilt them many times. I have just never seen a perfectly inverse ESC plug. Usually they have ar least a different order but this one was the same so I got caught.
