flite test

Hi all, Wondering if I can get some help here. My Raptor is setup as follows, Turnigy Park 300, 1600 kv 18 amp turnigy esc 8x6 prop 1350 mah 3s With this setup I am pretty happy BUT..... The motor is kinda hot (hot like, I can't hold it in my hands for more than 10 seconds) when landing...

I took my delta to a local club that allows park flyers and they let me fly it. The guy whom helped me out test flew it form me, which is what the video is showing, then after helped me adjust the throws. overall a good experience. Here's a pic of my delta as well as a video.

Hi Flite Test!!! I thought I will give you a hard project. You have already made F-22 from America, JA-37 from Europe, maybe it's time for something Russian? :) Your goal is to make an EDF Su-35/Su-37 (or a mix of them, like Su-35 with canards :D) from foam/depron with advanced 3D fuselage and...

I just got the RTF gimbal from RTF quads ( http://www.readytoflyquads.com/rtf-all-in-one-gimbal ) It never worked from the start, it had a solid blue and red light and a blinking green. No other indications that it was plugged in, no motor sounds or movement at all. I downloaded the GUI and...

I just got a new RTF gimbal form RTF quads, but it doesn't seem to work. When I plug my 3s battery into it a solid blue light, and red light come on, and so does a flashing green one. This is my first gimbal so Im kinda lost. Any ideas on why it isn't working? Thanks!

Hello, I am a new pilot and my most recent plane is the Champ by Horizon Hobby and I looking into a new plane and I really fell in love with the E flite apprentice s 15e with the SAFE system. I was just wondering if this would be a good for me. I saw the video by Flite Test but just wondering...

Hi Flite Test, I think that for your Power Packs, it would be really nice if you could sell the individual parts from the power packs in addition to selling the complete power pack. For example, if I already have an esc and servos and all I need is a motor, I would like the option of being able...

help designing carbon mini quad to be sold for around $60 Hi my name is Luke I have been flying rc stuff for around 7 years. I am 16 and got into fpv around a year ago and I got my fist mini quad around July 2014. So I bought an emax mini quad and really like it but I have gotten pretty good at...

Does anyone know when the FT Power Packs will be coming out? Thanks!

I just recently got into quadcopters and I bought my first kit, the Electrohub. I got everything together with some help from some great people on the forums. I went in my backyard and got it in the air for about 10 seconds and landed it now satisfied it would fly. Later that night someone on...

I have just got into multi rotors and just built my first kit, the Electrohub. Everything went together fine, but my controller (dx6i and dx5e I tried both) would not do anything (yes i did bind, I'm using a Lemon 6 channel RX). The next thing I noticed was all 4 of my ECS were getting burning...

I want to but a swap-able for fpv and I want long flight times. Which swap-able with the recommended electronics will give me longest flight times.

Hi, I have what seems to be a fairly complicated question for me, but might be pretty simple, about taking the electronics from one plane I have and putting them in a FT swappable kit. I bought a Parkzone Radian a couple of months ago and have wrecked it and tried fixing it, but it has just been...

Hey Guys, since Podcast #49 I´m really excited since Josh announced, that Flitetest will be selling DTF as Flitetest Foamboard. They want to sell it with various distributers. So comparable with the HK Warehouses you can order from a place nearby you (all around the world). This would be real...

POPCORN Bomber: Have a design that would pop and drop fresh popcorn (old school pan/kettle style no microwave). could also tie in a dropzone/target challenge. --JLH

Hey guys, Garret from Altitude Hobbies here. I just wanted to stop in and say thank you to everyone here who has made the power pack combos from our store so popular over the last year. We sell a huge amount of these packs for FT's awesome builds, and we really appreciate the business. I also...

OK, here´s the idea: Two pilots with planes (you can try multirotors if this won´t work out later). The second plane has FPV and tries to follow the first one as good as possible. Now here comes the tricky part: The pilot of the first plane also is flying off the FPV signal of the following...

Hey guys, My bro and I just put together a couple videos of my old fogey and figured I'd share it with everyone. One of the videos includes some onboard footage using a Mobius. The fogey isn't extremely fast or exciting but I'm still a beginner :). Feel free to respond with links of your own...
