    5" FPV Drone keeps falling out of the sky

    Hey guys, So, I had a crash a couple of months ago and broke one of my arms. Now, I've waited for two months to finally get the replacement arm and fixed it. But now, when I tried to test fly it, the quad keeps falling out of the sky for no reason. The distance is always different, sometimes...

    Help! Recommendations for the first flight

    Hi sorry if my english is bad. Yesterday I flew my plane for the first time (ft simple cub) and I had some problems, the first is that when taking off from the ground you can see that it is going directly to the left (I took off from further back but I lost that recording), in the following...

    First Scratch Build

    About a month and a half ago I ordered the FT Trainer kit along with everything else I needed to get started with RC aircraft. I had such a blast with it that I decided to try and design and build my very own plane. I'm new to flying planes but had previously modeled an RC plane for my school's...

    It’s not as bad as it looks

    The TinyLED’s battery straps are so strong that on impact my battery was ripped out of its plastic covering. It still works, just a little puffed.

    Lost control and crashed...

    Had a crash the other day and I'm not sure what the deal is. Plane suddenly lost all control & power near the ground and impacted. There's also an engine noise that I've noticed as well. Here are some videos of the incidents: In this video I thought it would be funny to strafe my friend while...

    A good day at the field

    On takeoff I went right through a large puddle right before I got off the ground. It turns out that water and electronics don't mix since right after the first turn I lost all control and that was that. It's actually fixable though :D

    As Captain Blocker and I were getting Pics of my Panther, I made a fatal error in judging my airspeed and stalled it right into Captain Blocker! Good thing it didn't hit either of us and, if it did, it was going so slow that there wouldn't have been any damage to either the plane or us.

    Oops, crashed into the ocean! (a fjord technically...)

    Got a little crazy last week and crashed into a Norwegian fjord! Fortunately I was testing a new GoPro at the time and ended up with some nice footage! “DHC Turbo Beaver Saltwater Crash and Rescue” Need to build an RC rescue boat I think 🤔 thoughts?

    Lesson and reminder

    Was having a great day flying my modified Simple Scout. This is my heaviest plane being slightly enlarged from the FT plans, the one I've had most difficulty learning to land smoothly. Almost no wind and practicing landings. On my third battery and feeling really good, having made several...

    Crashed on Take-Off...twice!

    I admit it, I am a novice. But I am experienced in building many mechanical and electrical things throughout my years. So, I decided to build the FliteTest Corsair. Build seemed to go fine. But I am experiencing a serious problem on take-off. On my first take-off attempt, the plane got three...

    Newbie, because everyone at the field said POST THAT TO FLITE TEST so here I am

    Hi! I was out of the hobby for like 24 years, but I'm a youtube junkie and routinely fall down aircraft related YT holes and wound up looking up a local club and getting back into it after spending two weeks watching videos and re-acquainting myself with how it's done. Anyway hi! I'm getting...

    Help! HELP!!! Turnigy 9x Connection problems

    Hi, I’ve been trying to fly my ft sparrow and new ft mini mustang yesterday and today but I’m having trouble with the connection. I’m using the same receiver for each plane, I’m just swapping it between the two. The receiver is the 8ch one that comes with my Turnigy 9x. With the sparrow I would...

    Little problem with the Ft Long ez

    I'm not a very experienced RC pilot but I can keep a plane in the air. I have my flown the Ft bloody baron for a couple of month, and I didn't really have any problem with it. But I recently build a Ft Long ez and tried to fly it for the first time today, it went inverted the second I launched...

    New quad, no motors spinning after small crash.

    So I received my new Wizard X220s yesterday, and got the first sets of flights in today. Crashed a few times with no issues besides some mud that was cleaned off while batteries recharged. Unfortunately, after a very minor crash from a 2 foot hover, none of the motors spin now. Everything...

    Finally! The maiden flight/crash has occurred!

    I’ve had my TinyTrainer built now for over a year, but life, weather, and lack of flying space have all conspired to keep me grounded. Today, everything fell into line for my first flight. It was gloriously tragic. I was optimistic and only brought one bag of extra props b/c “the Joshes, Alex...

    CRASH!!!! Share Your Worst Feeling but Best Learning Experiences

    FomieDM came up with the idea. basically a place to share crashes just for fun or for people to learn from. also a good way to find weaknesses in certain designs if they tend to break in one place a lot.
