Mastering FPV Drone Center of Gravity (CG) – Battery Placement Alone Can Completely Change Flight Feel
Photo by Rupesh Sharma on Unsplash A crucial yet often underestimated variable in FPV drone flight is the FPV drone's center of gravity , or CG. What if you're using the same frame, motors, and battery, but the flight feel is completely different? The secret lies in the FPV drone's center of gravity . Today, we'll cover everything about CG that can completely transform your FPV drone's flight characteristics. Through this post, you'll be able to optimize your FPV drone's CG for a more stable and agile flight experience. What is Center of Gravity? Understanding FPV Drone CG Basics The center of gravity is the point where an object's entire weight acts. In an FPV drone, the CG is the exact spot where the drone balances. If you gently lift the drone with one finger and it stays level without tilting to one side, that's the center of gravity. Aerodynamically, the drone's CG should be slightly forward of the thrust center (the central axis of ...
