The Trouble with Zero

Don't worry, we aren't about to talk about division by zero, or even enter the debate about whether natural numbers should start at 0 or 1, or anything of the sort. We are talking about my Zero, a GWS Zero running an ewatts R2212 brushless outrunner.

After the loose mounting issue last week, I had the zero flying well the other day. However, this morning at Curtin (a splendid morning otherwise including a new flyer joining our morning PF "club") she was misbehaving again. I couldn't get her to fly straight and level, she half rolled whenever I used the elevator and just generally behaved like a little cow.

She had too much yaw in every corner she entered (not something she used to suffer from) and was self correcting out of corners, and rolling more steeply into others. Best I could tell this was not something I could trim out.

Anyway, I'll spend some time with her tonight to try and get her sorted.

Some new bits have arrived for my Microseether and lil squirt - batteries for both, speed controller for lil squirt and some connectors. Hopefully will cover the squirt tonight, and post some photos of her. Now just waiting for my cheap Hong Kong servos.

Oh, I have some new props for the elebee and Zero to see if I can eek a little more speed out of them.
