Someplace, I thought in the FT Build video I...

    Electrohub Upgrades

    Any chance the FliteTest store might one day carry the carbon fiber booms that David Windestal offers on RC Explorer for the TriCopter? I ordered a set of 4 for my ElectroHub to test out, but it would be nice to be able to get them from here in the states if possible. I know they're only 10mm...

    Electrohub odd noise

    So I've been flying my Electrohub for about a month now and I'm loving every part of it, however about 2 days ago I started hearing a weird noise being emitted from the quad-copter.

    Heya, so I've been flying prebuilts for a while and they were a lot of fun. So I thought I'd take a cheap nose dive into building my own.

    Building an electro hub with 350qx electronics.

    Hello, I'm getting tired of having to take my Blade 350qx3 completely apart to replace any one part. I've looked for aftermarket frames and the only thing I've found is $125. I don't know enough about flight controllers to know if the one in my 350 will support different sizes of frames...
