flight

Hello! I have a team at school that competes in an aero design competition every year. This year our aircraft had some trouble as once it was off the ground it yawed hard and crashed. I would love any feedback as to why the plane reacted as it did. If you have any questions please let me know...

This is going to be a fun one. For once, I am not dealing with maximizing acrobatic performance, speed, or camera stability. No, this time it is just that: time. Flight time specifically. My friend challenged me to a build off. Who can get the longest flight time from two 18650b batteries...

I know you all are busy at Flite Test and have thousands of these ideas posted that may never be read, but there needs to be two Salutes to three men, 1. Leonardo Divinci and his design and concept of a flying machine and second to the Wright Brothers and building a version of the Plane they...

I know it's a dumb question but as soon as you google it the only thing that pops up is the airplane mode switch on you phone :/. So I have a 6ch transmitter/receiver combo and one of the channels is assigned to the flight mode switch which I never use so I only have one other control option...

Hey everyone! Need some advice on the best fc to use for my 250 quadcopter. I'm using a turnigy 9x with frsky xjt only, no other mods, stock firmware. I've been wanting to move away from the SPRacing f3 boards for some reason, I've broken 3 of them and have tried the acro, then deluxe, then...

Hey guys, I just made my first mini review of my FT Simple Storch out of Hobbyking foamboard ( actually only the frontside is made out of that foamboard). I hope you guys enjoy this video and I'm sorry for my English pronunciation ( English isn't my native tongue) . Hoping to get more...

Question for you professors of quad fun! What are you setting on your transmitters to arm your FC board? Some people are using sticks in certain areas (like lower left etc). Some people are using a switch. What do you do? And, if you would be so kind as to tell me why you chose what you...

I am preparing my Taranis for my first flight od my Tiny Trainer? I want to set a count down timer so I don't over discharge my 3S 800 mah LiPo? I want to get a FTVSS with my tax refund, but until then... Thanks guys

How to control a quad in the safest condition in case of fly away ? Hi, this is my first time on this forum and i'm a newbie in the quadcopter world ! First of all sorry about my English. So, I just finished (and crashed) my first quadcopter. And even if I tried, before flying, to get the...

Hi, I'm using the Turnigy TGY i6 transmitter for my quadcopter but I have a question about flight modes. I want my quadcopter to auto-level once I release the right stick, and I've read that this can be made using "Attitude" flight mode. But I only found Normal and sport flight modes. Then...

Did my Flip32 S**t the bed??? or the motors/esc's??? Hey guys! Im new to the multirotor world, I just built my first quad and finally got it up in the air the other day with zero issues without any tuning. but after my first flight i ran into some (what appears to be) serious issues. if you...

Hey FT. I have a problem and I am hoping you can help me out. (I am not sure this is the right forum topic for this issue, but it is slightly related to customer support). I have been in the hobby for a few months now. Back in late May, I had to replace my KK 2.1 board and decided to go with...

I got the Naza M flight controller today and need to figure out how to supply power through my esc to the PMU unit to power the LED. The esc im using is a 4 x 25A Brain Q esc. Where do I wire the PMU connections to the esc battery lead? Do I solder them on at the base of the battery...

On a recent FliteTest after hours podcast they mentioned that there was a new Real Flight simulator for mobile devices. I have played around with it a bit and as mobile simulators go it is pretty good; especially since the base version is free but with in app purchases. You start off with a...

Hi, this is my first post on this website, so might I say that I absolutely love what FliteTest is doing for the RC community, and the content they bring to us. I wanted to ask if you had ever thought of doing an episode on the Plantraco micro kits, such as the Shoestring? I think this would be...

I took my underpowered FT22 out a few days ago and shot some video. I smashed it up pretty good a day or two later, but it's back together and ready to go again.

Hey everyone! A few months ago, I built the FT rotorbones tricopter and have had a blast with it. One issue that I have is flight time. Using a 2100mAh 3s battery, I only get between 5-6 minutes of flight. Does that sound low, and if so, any suggestions on how to increase the flight time...

Last Saturday evening I got some really good footage. It had been raining all day and it just cleared up so the sky was perfect. I thought I would share it with you.

Dear Flight test crew, You all have inspired me to get into this hobby, thank you so much! I just wanted to show my appreciation by possibly donating a plane (sort of) to the show. it is a vintage Kit that I stumbled upon at an auction. It has never been flown or assembled but has all the...
