Quadcopter cannot balance!
It looks like your I term is turned up too high. This can cause the system to overcompensate before it has even started to return to equilibrium.

Need help calculating the thrust on quadcopter motors
You could probably calculate this value, but the sensible thing to do would be to just measure it directly.
Just turn it upside-down and put it on a kitchen scale as shown in this video.

Quadcopter application underwater
Is an underwater quadrotor possible? Absolutely. Whether it's practical in that configuration is a different matter.
In air, viscosity and buoyancy are negligible; in water, they are not. An aer …

Aluminum vs Carbon Fiber
If your goal is to experiment, then use the cheapest option possible -- it will give you the freedom to make more mistakes. Carbon fiber would be great if your design is in a fairly final state, but …

Removing quadcopter drift to the side
The drift is being caused either by your position data being consistently wrong, or by your roll/pitch PIDs not correcting the drift error with their integral term.
In any case, it is the integral …

What is the minimum number of RC channels required to control a Quad Copter?
However, since a quadcopter can move freely in any cardinal direction, you need only transmit 3 channels: throttle, roll, and pitch. … This prevents you from controlling what direction the quadcopter is facing at any one time, but does not limit its mobility. …

What is the link between a quadcopter transmitter pulse and the roll/pitch/yaw angles?
The pulse you're talking about is pulse position modulation. Whether this is being used to set the throttle speed of each of your motors (separately), or to convey some other meaning to your flight c …

How many quadcopters would it take to lift a burrito?
Only one; there are many models of quadcopters available that can lift this amount.
The OFM GQuad-8 can lift 6kg, for instance.

How to stabilize a quadcopter
In the case of a quadcopter, this would involve tying a bit of string to the corners, leaving enough slack so that it can rise 6-12 inches, but not enough slack for it to flip over. …

What microcontroller should be used for QuadCopter flight control and ESC?
If many quadcopter designs are using arduino, that's a good indication that arduino is a useful element of getting quadcopters to work. … If your desire is to make a quadcopter from scratch, the best way to approach it is not to conceive the design from first principles. …

Does more "Power" (W) means better motor?
The wattage rating is usually (read the manufacturer's specs very carefully) the measure of how much power the motor can draw. It doesn't tell you anything more than that.
Wattage does not tell you …
