I had asked this question on another site and was basically called a very silly silly. Maybe they didn't quite understand though. Anywho, I'd like your opinion.
So I somehow ended up with my motor orientation opposite from most common. This is mine:
And you probably already know the most common one is: View attachment 17162
Having the orientation opposite from the most common would not cause a quad itself to spin on takeoff though, right? Cause that's what mines doing. I would think it would work fine either way. Please let me know. In my thread on the other site I was looking for ideas on why my quad was spinning on takeoff. Every finger pointed to motor and prop orientation, as it is a common mistep, and my orientation is a little foreign. But just because mine is opposite from the most common orientation, doesnt mean it won't work right? There's still 2 cw and 2 ccw motors. I would think my orientation is not a problem. The reason I was seen as a silly was because I was sure it was motor 4 (from my quad picture) causing the quad to spin, because upon plugging the lipo in it would arm about a second after the other three motors. I also noticed that it spins up right after the others, and stop spinning right before the others. Almost like it's not getting as much power. I don't know how to fix this besides replacing the motor and ESC maybe. Could it be from me leaving all the becs in on my emax linear escs? I heard yes and no for leaving all linear becs in, so I just left em all in.
I assure you, 110 percent, that the props and motor orientation are correct according to my diagram.The quad will fly up without flipping, but it spins right from the start and ultimately ends up back on the ground. Here's a lovely video of my first maiden flight to demonstrate:[video]https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Do7iaMPi01k[/video]
