My 5 Inch Feels Floaty Compared To My Whoop?! Is That Normal? - FPV Questions

[@laddn17]

^ spot on except if you have a supported esc then you need to go to pid tab and change dynamic idle . I think mine is 30

[@dieFPVler]

I think it boils down to that the bigger one goes, the higher the weight to surface ratio is - so a 5 inch has proportional to it's weight way less drag than a whoop. So the inertia will feel different. Its like moving a rock through the air compared to a piece styropor

[@erikvf7]

That can't be solved. Its purely physics law. The same gravity force 9.8 m/s2 applies for both quads, however, in a tinywhoop this force would be much more significant due to the fact that it doesn't move as fast as a 5inch. And there is also the momentum thing, which is much bigger with the heavier weight of the bigger quad.

[@amarmot-f2q]

Isn't this just a matter of relative scale? Distances are smaller and things happen quicker with whoop, so gravity will always feel like a stronger force.

Hey, could you help me and tell me what should i do when i can hear quiet buzzing from my fc

[@lievenvv]

Perhaps the tune / the D is too high? Or not enough filtering?

I hate the term "floaty" being used to describe how a quad feels. To me, floaty means light. I think a better way of describing a quad not turning fast enough would be "carrying momentum, slides in turns, or it feels heavy because it is. I really think the community needs to get away from using the term floaty all together. Any quad can feel like it's not responsive enough if it's too heavy, and any quad can feel like it's on rails if the weight is appropriate for the build. In this case, they're saying the quad is too light?! I can't relate to that whatsoever either. Lighter quads fly SO much better.

737+ grams here 😂

I've flown a 925g 5" before. Really not a big deal
