    Can I fix my motor?

    Attached i have two pictures of my damaged motor. It was damaged in a crash where my quadcopter lost power for some reason whilst hovering at about 40m up. Landed on concrete and all the other motors have some scratches but still work. However this one seems to be jammed or something. As you...

    Homemade photography quad crash ...

    Hello, so I'v built and flown a couple of time my s500 quadcopter. It weighs 1.5 KG and hovers around half throttle. I have had a frequent problem of it just losing power suddenly, which is due to the turnigy banana connectors not being wide enough with the two banana connectors attached to the...

    Wouldn't suggest a 75% FT-Flyer

    i recently decided to build a plane with my friend but we didn't have much foam and here in Australia foam board is around $13 per sheet of 900 x 600 and we thought it would be a good idea to build a 50% FT-Flyer, so we printed out the plans and realized that it was extremely small and there was...

    Learning to Fly can be frustrating

    I tried a different approach to Slope Soaring (with some engine assist) and changed my launch position on the hill I fly on. The idea was to keep the plane to the north of me, away from the 'top' of the hill. Unfortunately there be houses over there. The Radian Pro got away from me and tried...

    FT Viggen Crash-Causing Problem

    So I recently put together one of my first speed-build kits from flite test, an FT Viggen. I was super excited to get it in the air using the 70mm edf setup from Grayson hobbies. When I finally got out to a field by my house to fly it, I ended up crashing and wrecking the airframe on takeoff...

    MiniQuad ESC Prop Strikes

    Recently I have been noticing slices in the heat shrink around my ESCs, and it's not just one ESC, all of them seem to have been hit in some way. My ZMR250 has the ESCs mounted on the arms which is great for active cooling, but puts them in danger of prop strikes. I figure the problem is that...

    Waterproofing Quad

    I've been traveling through my country, trying to get awesome shots from landscapes. With it being a tropical country and all, I am bound to get some rain. At first, I thought it would not be a big deal, because I could wait it out or just fly if it was only mist. But yesterday I almost lost my...

    Walkera Runner 250 Problems

    I recently bought this racing Quadcopter that was called the Walkera Runner 250. It flew well until I crashed it. It was about 35 feet up and then I dropped all throttle and could not correct it after adding more. It crashed on one side but nothing was apparently broken. Then when I tried...

    Maiden Flight, Epic Crash [Scratch build fail]

    This video of my maiden was pretty catastrophic... as in, wing failure and skydive ;). Enjoy! Notes on plane: it was a bad design in the first place, the wing was very weak, and couldn't withstand its own weight in a dive :P. I had intent on scrapping it, but decided to maiden it first, to get...

    Goodmorning FT community, Yesterday I took my p-51 out for MY maiden (as i had let the pro's trim it out for me and make sure i built it right), I was incredibly impressed with the characteristics of the plane and to be honest the power package. Coming from...

    eSport 2.0 Update

    Hi! I got up at 5:30 to test fly my new design... remember I wanted it to go fast.(bad idea) Here is the aftermath: On the first flight everything was OK. But it was fast...too fast. So I backed off the throttle and the plane did a high speed stall. :( I brought it down, moved my cg a little...
