Turnigy Micro Quad running the kk2.0 with stock 1.2 firmware Thanks a ton! I went off your final settings, than just tuned it based on the info you give. I had to watch it a few times, but you are by far the best video help I have found!
Please read the video description for additional information, tips and tricks, warnings, links and more. For everything else, please leave a comment down below. I will answer them ASAP! Thank you for watching!
+eluminerRC Hi dude, with your help I have a k22 quad (cf258) flying pretty decent on 3s and 4s with 5-6" props but yaw did not tune like your video at all. You seemed to stop at 40 ish to get that level ish piro but mine doesn't get less sloppy until around 120. It still overshoots some and tilts a little too, drops towards the side it's turning to, all tuned in acro mode.Any ideas before I go back to my trial and error, brute force, slow and painful method of tuning for the last bit of yaw tuning?Cheers eluminer
Hi! First of all, thanks for all of your videos - they were a huge help setting up my KK2. At 2:27 in this video, you say "trim the quad level". Do you mean to use clicks of trim on the transmitter to make it level? Thanks!
Hello ! I have the same control board, and my quadrocopter starts to fly to right after rotation. It also looses hight. Do you know witch setting should I change ?
Hi there do you have any suggestions for me?.... When i am at about 60% throttle or higher, lets say i wanted to climb fast for example.. my front right motor overpowers (and you can assume, my back left motor drops). Other than that it always flies fine, so i'm not sure where to start. KK2.0 on an SK450, I've done factory reset and gone from there.
Great videos! Not only very didactic and to the point but nice layout! After getting frustrated with my first quad build using kk multicopter (it might be great for not newbies but couldn't make it work properly) I just got the KK2.1 and your videos made all the tuning a smooth process. I don't recall tutorials on FPV but if you haven't made any, please make some if you can!
I've reconfigured my SK450 X to a Dead Cat and I've tried every PI setting back and forth. Flies terribly. Found some guy online who talks about upping the "D" gain/limit. Do you know where can I find these on the KK2? Thanks in advance eluminer!
Hey there can you make a more detailed video I mean getting to the physics and maths behind this and telling about I and P limit should I keep them stock
It's over, but not on video. I have a couple of cool videos that I just have to edit. Stay tuned! After that I might consider selling this quad in order to make more cool videos. Will see...
I would first like to thank you for sharing valuable information with us. F450 frame there did the settings you also to the stable depart but requires air adjustment I have to make continuous trim I want to fly quiet stable , but I suspect the propeller in 1045 had to prop my hand 8045 propeller ordered I wonder require setting up due to the propeller 950 kV motor 5200 mAh LiPo 30 simonkr esc kk2 . 1 thank you.
I had noticed that you didn't explain the (Roll/Pitch) P Limit, I limit & (Yaw) P limit, I limit or show settings in this video. Are those setting left alone as previous video in "Initial set up" video? O.o
Thanks for the video! One doubt I have is related to the SL switch position during the tuning process... is this alway on, off or changes anytime during the tuning?
Sorry for the late replay! Auto-level switch is turned off while you are tuning the quad in "rate" mode. When you tuning auto-level mode then the quad must be in auto-level mode.
i need help.i just built a x525 quad with the kk2.1.5 board and all it wants to do is flip before take off.i have checked everything 3 and four times to make sure of blade direction kk2 default setup motor direction motor connection esc connection but it still flips.however the blades look warped.if they where warped would that be enough to make it flip all the time.
Well, blade shouldn't be warped. Is this your first multi-rotor? Sometimes multi-rotors can look like they will flip on take off if you are adding throttle very gently. However, they usually fly well after take off. Of course, you should definitely go through my initial setup video and tuning guide again step by step.
eluminerRC i did 3 time just to make sure i was doing it right.yes this is my first time building 1.i do have a udi u817c it was my first multirotor it fly's just fine.and yes i am going like 1 click at a time with the throttle why is that to slow.i see other people doing it all the time on youtube.thanks for your time
Great video! It improved a lot my Quad, but I still have a problem, the quad leans to the right or left by itself, it happends slowly but I have to constantly control it, is this normal?
For roll/pitch I gain you said that I should trim the quad level... How do i do that? Do I just need to start hovering and trim it using my tx? (I have a 9x turnigy, so if its going forward while im trying to hover I should use my 9x trim menu and trim the elevator down, is that it?) Thank you and nice video
I have a question for you. My quad is very stabile,and I am satisfied whit how it flies. But in selflevel mode,after I center the right stick,quad gains a LOT of hight. What can be the problem. I still didn't upgrade my firmwere,because Hobbyking make fool of my and my order of USB ASP cable. They left me waiting for it for 90 days,and than give me back my money. So I still use 1.2 firmware
Self-level in v1.2 is TERRIBLE! Actually, the biggest difference between 1.2 and 1.5 is completely new algorithm for self-level feature. So, if you're having problems with self-level mode definitely upgrade to 1.6. It a huge difference.
Hey, thank you very much for making this video! I followed your steps and configuration as initial starting point. My quadcopter is tuned nicely now. The only problem left is the quadcopter sort of bounces up and down?
It would be nice to see what too much I gain and too much yaw I gain looked like also, these weren't covered at all like too much P gain which is much more logical
I know you probably already posted a videocould you do a video on a KK blackboard 5.5 I would really appreciate it am just beginning to learn about Quadcopter and beginning to building one, thank you very much
Hi Great video. I recently built an H-Quad (from Scratch.. KK2.0 1.6) and I tried flying it today. Problem is that as I slowly push up the throttle, the throttle increases all by it self (i.e. If I increase the throttle to 20% on my Transmitter, The throttle on the quad will increase all by itself) So that means that if I bring the throttle up and leave it, it will not stay at level flight. I do not know how to figure this out now. Also I am using the self level. I am a bit worried that I am doing something wrong.. Please help.. I am using the Turnigy 6CH FHHS 30A turnigy plush ESC Ntm 1200 KV motor Nano Tech 3000 mAh 3s battery. 10"X4.5" props.. Please Help me.
First thing you should do is check "Receiver test" on your KK2.0 board. Check my "KK2.0 initial setup" video for more info. What do you see under "Throttle" when you move your throttle stick from idle to full throttle?

Thanks man! I'll keep them coming. ;)
Cheers, this easy on the yes explanation and start points really help. Shame there's not more videos of you enjoying flying too, hope you still are.

Nice new video! Thanks for shearing and finally! a video we all see you fling on! haha! Take care fly safe!

Thanks! No, I didn't do any videos on FPV, but.... ;)
I've learned a lot of things whatching your videos. I'm charging batts to go do some fine tunning. Tnx.
Awesome! ;) Enjoy!
You are king of tutorial! Very good explanations! Your quadcopter fly like a bird! happy week-end!
Thank you a lot! Happy week-end to you too. :)
Hi eluminerRC,
my ACC-calibration doesn't work. the copter wan't fly with your intial settings... any Idea?
I've reconfigured my SK450 X to a Dead Cat and I've tried every PI setting back and forth. Flies terribly. Found some guy online who talks about upping the "D" gain/limit. Do you know where can I find these on the KK2? Thanks in advance eluminer!
What about P limit,I limit on Roll/Pitch??? And P limit,I limit on Yaw??? Can you help me with those settings please? Thank you!
RCPARANOID I leave them stock!
Hey there can you make a more detailed video I mean getting to the physics and maths behind this and telling about I and P limit should I keep them stock
Great video ! By the way is this project over? or is there a more upgrades?
It's over, but not on video. I have a couple of cool videos that I just have to edit. Stay tuned! After that I might consider selling this quad in order to make more cool videos. Will see...
hi there.. hope u can help me out.. my 250mm drone wobbles with the kk2... what setting do i have to chance to get the wobblers out??ty
I would first like to thank you for sharing valuable information with us. F450 frame there did the settings you also to the stable depart but requires air adjustment I have to make continuous trim I want to fly quiet stable , but I suspect the propeller in 1045 had to prop my hand 8045 propeller ordered I wonder require setting up due to the propeller 950 kV motor 5200 mAh LiPo 30 simonkr esc kk2 . 1 thank you.
If i have ,simonk firmware on esc,it will be difference to set,like you do?
Thanks
I had noticed that you didn't explain the (Roll/Pitch) P Limit, I limit & (Yaw) P limit, I limit or show settings in this video. Are those setting left alone as previous video in "Initial set up" video? O.o
Exactly, they are left as in my "Initial setup" video.
Thanks for the video! One doubt I have is related to the SL switch position during the tuning process... is this alway on, off or changes anytime during the tuning?
Sorry for the late replay! Auto-level switch is turned off while you are tuning the quad in "rate" mode. When you tuning auto-level mode then the quad must be in auto-level mode.
Thanks!!!
If got a question what are the limits? How do I set those? What do they change?
Great tutorial, have you tought about upgrading the quad with the DeadCat kit?
I have been thinking about this a lot, but I don't think I am going to do it. You will see why in upcoming videos. ;)
eluminerRC Please update to dead cat. :) I am having problem fine tuning mine. Your videos are really helpful. Thanks
eluminerRC Hope its soon... lol Thumbs up!

i did 3 time just to make sure i was doing it right.yes this is my first time building 1.i do have a udi u817c it was my first multirotor it fly's just fine.and yes i am going like 1 click at a time with the throttle why is that to slow.i see other people doing it all the time on youtube.thanks for your time
+Dallen Vick (AF Thor) no i didnt...my controller display stoped working so i trashed it...
Great Video!
Too bad that it gets winter and the weather doesnt allow me to fly.
while doing initial set up what is the status of self level.....i mean wether self level is ON/OFF?
Great video! It improved a lot my Quad, but I still have a problem, the quad leans to the right or left by itself, it happends slowly but I have to constantly control it, is this normal?

Thank you and nice video
eluminerRC is that it?
Can someone tell me please what do these P-I actually mean ? What actually we are tuning while tuning these P and I ?
what's the different if i use simonK ? can i use this setting?
I have a question for you. My quad is very stabile,and I am satisfied whit how it flies. But in selflevel mode,after I center the right stick,quad gains a LOT of hight. What can be the problem.

Pau Mallol Thanks for the tip! :)
Hello.... Roll/pitch-> Plimit ?, Ilimit ? - Yaw-> Plimit ?, Ilimit ?
tks
Leave them at default values.
Thanks for vid , I will try this for my Tricopter. It should work the same.
Yes, it should work.
Hey, thank you very much for making this video! I followed your steps and configuration as initial starting point. My quadcopter is tuned nicely now.
The only problem left is the quadcopter sort of bounces up and down?
Sorry for the late reply! Does it do this in windy weather or always. What motors and ESC's are you using?
It would be nice to see what too much I gain and too much yaw I gain looked like also, these weren't covered at all like too much P gain which is much more logical
hi great video, i am using kk2.1 FCB.. but, my copter still having oscillation..
how to fix Pgain, Plimit, Igain, Ilimit.
Check my KK2.0 tuning guide.
Perfect explaining.
Thanks so much this helped me so much
I know you probably already posted a videocould you do a video on a KK blackboard 5.5 I would really appreciate it am just beginning to learn about Quadcopter and beginning to building one, thank you very much
I won't do a video about KK blackboard any time soon because I already have a lot of footage that have to be edited before I move on.
Does all of this apply to vtails as well?
It should, however, check FliteTest video on V-tail for better instructions on that.

Please Help me.
First thing you should do is check "Receiver test" on your KK2.0 board. Check my "KK2.0 initial setup" video for more info. What do you see under "Throttle" when you move your throttle stick from idle to full throttle?
On my kk2.0 I see that it goes from Idle to 270 or something like that.
Joshua Carvalho Yeah, 270 is to much. You should have something around 125. Try to play with stick scaling in KK2.0 settings.
OK will do. I re checked it and got around 123. But still it increases throttle. Anything I should so on the Board
Joshua Carvalho Try calibrating ESC's if you haven't already figured it out
Thanks Sam to you
Thank you !
ok thanks
merci
Bundek :)
Yep! ;)
Ok thanks anyway
