Are you running at Rabbit for your speed settings? What mode are you flying with; Acro, Fly or manual?
Is the bird rising, falling or both; trying to understand your term "porpoise" clearly.
With the glider name, you obviously understand up drafts, thermals and wind shears.... I just learned about the effects of tree lines within the last year.
You're speaking about "the frame", which if empty and angled properly could be an air foil of sorts at high speeds. Interesting to consider that is what caused the porpoising... Was the frame down during your flight? I'm thinking pitched by 45 degrees...either to the back or front.Now that I think about it, it may be caused by not having a camera attached and the factory camera mount is still attached.
Mine does it too. Some days worse than others. Makes me think it's due to headwinds. Doesn't show up in video. Mine is not set to rabbit mode on the speed settings. They are abt mid range. It does it while flying in stabilize mode at higher constant cruise speeds. Never does it in GPS modes. That being said, when flying in GPS modes, the speeds are slower than manual modes.
It is an amazing flyer and very responsive to control input. Full stick is way more fun than being a tripod.Regardless, I had almost forgotten how much I like flying this machine.

There was a conversation about ESC desync. And then one about the motors loosing thrust at top end, saturation...? Both are more of a quick pulsing action and not typical in sync with the other motors. So the tendency would be a roll rather than pitch as the indicator.
The camera is attached via the gimbal.Set it to rabbit mode and it should do it in GPS mode.
Do you have the camera attached or is the frame just hanging down empty?
Defects, no. Surpassing design limits, sure. If it were a defect, then we wouldn't be having this conversation, you would already know by similar cases. With the exception of people burning up bearings, the motor pods have performed quite well and as expected.Do you now if this was a mfg defect in the ESC or motor?
I was flying in Stabilize and Manual. I have the speed bars at about half way. It will go faster than that. I think the fastest I've seen it is 47 mph. That's with the gimbal and camera attached. Should get a little more without the camera and gimbal but can't think of a reason why I need to.Not me- I'm afraid to go that fast.
Actually, I've never gotten it to go that fast. What flight modes are needed to reach that speed? I've never made it that fast in FLY: MANUAL.
