TotalG Tape mounting option
Tags totalg, totalg mounting, tuning
Got in 7 flights today. Weather was poor so most of my flying was lower level stuff. Managed to forget my USB link at home for the TotalG but it worked out better than I thought.
Spent the first couple flights just having some fun and working on maneuvers. Then onto mounting tapes. Previously I was running two layers of the included foam but was fighting some bobbles. Decided to play around with mounting tape combos. The Align gel strapped down super tight was hideous. It wobbled on any sort of hard stop. Two layers of foam wasn't bad but I still had an elevator bobble I couldn't dial out previously. Single layer of foam was much better. Far less wobbles and no noticeable side effects due to vibration. Single layer of the red 3M double sided tape took 70% of the bobble out. Almost seemed like some slight twitching from the 3M but it started to rain so I had to cut that flight short. I think I'll probably try two layers of the 3m for next flight.
My RL53 is quite tired so I tore it down and ordered a ring. Should be here by the time the new TotalG firmware is ready for testing.
