flight controller

Welcome to my build log for my next Arduino controlled RC scratch built airplane! Much of this project is going to be based off of work (especially in terms of software) found in my previous build log here. After my *very* successful test flight with my last Arduino plane, I've decided to...

Hey everyone, I need some help with my F3 femto flight controller on my gremlin. I first built my gremlin a couple months back and after many flights and crashes it was time for me to replace the f3 femto FC. So I ordered a hole brand new micro power pack that comes with new motors, ESCs, and f3...

So I powerlooped on an extremely flat battery (stupid) and couldn't pull out, so I plopped down relatively lightly in the grass. I didn't lose telemetry (lua, voltage, ex.), but the fc is getting no sbus signal. Connections are all good. I tried a different receiver, no luck. I also tried to...

Hey guys! So I have (on accident) bought a SPRacing F3 clone board, and it is very unreliable, very... Ive been looking around the web for a cheap, but realiable, Beta-flight board. I have found a bunch, but very few support Spektrum. The one I found...

Greetings. Am looking to choose these two key components. Would like to do as little soldering as possible - for fear of destroying electronics with excess heat. Most online stores I have checked have a suprisingly small selection of these things. Can anyone recommend a good place to shop or...

My brother picked up parts from an engineering class at UCI. 2300KV cobra motors, props, and a naza lite flight controller. Apparently, the naza lite is powered by the PMU, so I was wondering if I get 30 amp simonk esc with BEC, can it power the FC or are all the positive wires that go in the FC...

I had a blast at the first Flite Fest in Florida. I brought my Eachine Goggles Two so I could experience my first race the right way. I loved the feeling of a 5 inch quad over my Tiny Whoops. I'm ahead of the game in that I've already got a TBS Tango, goggles, an original Chameleon frame...

Hey guys, I started with a Naze32 knockoff (bad idea) and could not get it to work no matter how hard I tried. I then got an SP racing F3 the was legit, and that fried somehow. I happened to accidentally order an SPF3 knockoff, and that worked until a bad crash. The power light wouldn't turn on...

I'm pretty new at building. I fried my brand new Holybro Kakute FC because I'm using a horrible soldering iron and no flux. My motors are are trash too. I just gave them to a friend. Botgrinder has been giving me advice and helping me with betaflight but I can't keep my quad in the air because...

Hey Flite Test family! I haven't been flying for too long, maybe about three months now, and have really enjoyed the hobby so far. I have a working (for the most part) kwad that I've put together myself. I have a couple flights in the records, most of them LOS, and only a couple FPV. It took me...

Hey everyone, I am fairly new to drones & quad copters.. I started flying Mini 3 and 4 channel RC Heli's around my office a couple years ago. The batteries all died and they stopped working. After about a year the itch came back when I saw one of Steel's FPV Acro videos. My first venture...

Hello everyone, I am building my first quad and i am having trouble connecting my receiver. So I have a SP Racing F3 V1 Flight controller and I don't know where i should wire my FrySky XSR Receiver? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -King Kwad

Hey guys / gals! I recently swapped out some parts on my Wizard 220mm frame and am running into an arming issue. I have had a dozen successful flights prior to this and it has me puzzled. I can flash, calibrate my esc's and RC no problem in BetaFlight. While plugged into the USB and on battery...

Hi, I built the Quad bellow but I need a new flight stack for it, the one I have is running 20A ESC but and keeps crashing (i mean the software locking up not my flying!) It was cheap and as I can now tell nasty. The quad is 90mm, weights about 150 grams, I looking to run 3s batteries and...

Hi, guys! im new to the flight test forums (although not new to forums in general) but i hear that this is the place to be. I need help finding a flight controller that is compatible with a drone design i am looking to build. Actually, any suggestions would be great, i had a versa-copter but i...

Hello I am new to this whole quad thing. I have bought an arf quad(Redcon Phoenix 210) and I am having a some issues. I got it today and plug it in and it had libre pilot on it. I got it setup and every thing worked except that on motor spun backwards not that hard to fix. I then downloaded beta...

Hi Folks, I'm new to the hobby and was really hoping to take my quad out for its first flight ever today, but unfortunately I can't get the firmware flashed to my new KISS 32 flight controller. I can't even get it to connect to the KISS GUI stand-alone app on my Mac running Mac OS Sierra. The...

Hi guys, I've just finished my first build using the ft 210 frame, emax 2204-2300kv motors, emax 12a bheli escs, powerosd, X-racer F303, and turnigy i6 receiver. So when I went to program the escs on beta flight I couldn't get them to do anything, no beeps when I plug the battery in or...
