    Drone out of control, no crash

    Interesting. I'm wondering if IMU shares gyro and accelaration sensors input with gimbal processor or gimbal has it's own set of sensors... If you tied up the bird and span motors you can test this theory. PS: if you take the quad in hand and move it around, would gimbal respond on that...

    ESC cannot spin rotors in different directions controlled by software. The fact that you just interchanged Left and Right motors means that correct wiring done in PCB of ESC (on a main board). So this way you just don't need to worry about correct polarity of the motor at the connector. PS: on...

    Drone out of control, no crash

    Looks like the motors are executing commands from IMU raving RPM up and down and gimbal was trying to compensate for the shake of the quad. Why IMU gives erratic input to motors and the bird still able to fly (more or less)? Some sensor got loose, intermittent connection... IMU glitch or...

    How to Exceed Max Altitude for Mountain Flying?

    Plastic bag will not work. Vacuum chamber will keep low pressure inside when you will be down the valley but plastic bag will not. It will just shrink equalizing pressure inside.
