Plan C | CupCake Quad V3 - High View of Forest and Spot-on RTL @Plan-C | Uploaded April 2014 | Updated October 2024, 55 minutes ago.
Test flight 4 following compassmot calibration. Now lands within a meter of home on RTL. Mods seem good so far ... Compass accurate with emi from motors, GPS hold all good, surprisingly stable in windy conditions, ESCs not overheating inside tupperware box...
Now I trust it a bit more than the ill-fated V2 (which had a sudden and violent 'unexpected landing'), I take it up a bit higher.
I think the V2 problem was down to a weak prop or bad/overheating ESC.
Next tests for V3 will be waypoint autopilot flights, rain flights, water landings and take offs...
Kudos to Jake wells for the original idea.
