    HELP: Gremlin FC issues

    So i recently bought and built my gremlin, but haven't flown it until now because of the cold. Upon first flight, after giving it the smallest amount of throttle, the quad sporadically twitched and yawed. So, i went back and hooked it up to betaflight, took off the props, and went to the...

    Gremlin board will not arm.

    I have just finished completed my gremlin and all the setups. However, when it is connected to my transmitter the light on the board is blinking. Then, when it is armed it blinks twice quickly then pauses and repeats and will not arm. When it was configured the only issue I had was the BLHeli...

    Question about radio protocols, specific Flysky i-bus...

    So I'm pretty new to this hobby. I have built and flown one plane and I want to move into the world of quads too. I am planning on buying a Gremlin kit and building it myself but I have hit a small snag. My radio is a Flysky i-6x. This radio is equipped with PPM or i-bus protocols. The flight...

    Anybody else experience this problem with their Gremlin?

    I'm having an issue where my Gremlin behaves erratically and is impossible to fly. It pitches an banks without any input from the controller. It does this even when sitting on a flat table. This behavior can be seen in Betaflight as well. As I throttle up while connected to the computer...

Without the two pads being shorted the board works fine but if its shorted, the light comes on but the computer doesn't read it. anybody know how...

    Some severe drone wobble

    Hey guys, I'm having some severe issues with my freshly built gremlin. I did everything that TJ did in the video and in BF it all checks out. But after I disconnect from the computer and plug the battery in and connect to my transmitter and actually arm it the whole thing starts to wobble...

    Gremlin/Frsky R-XSR/QX7 Request for Information

    I'm having an issue with my Gremlin. I can't tell if it's the FC or the Receiver. Would someone who has a working Gremlin with a FRSKY R-XSR/QX7 combination please post their CLI dump from Beta Flight? I’ve got a couple of more things to try but I need a microSD card to flash the receiver first...

    Need help with Gremlin

    So I recently got a gremlin that was built by FT; I took it out of the box and plugged the battery in. The battery is fully charged and is a lumenier 2 cell, 400 mAh, and 7.4 volt. I was able to get my Spektrum DXe to bind to the receiver, the receiver held a solid orange light. The problem is...

    Gremlin Trouble

    For some reason I can't flash anything on to my board. So after trying many times I went on with the build. Later when programming my quad my receiver map would not display my transmitter movement. I am using a DX6e and the same receiver in the vid. I have the correct channel map and the...

    Underpowered Gremlin?

    Hey again guys, more Gremlin problems here. So I just watched the newest FT video, and noticed how much punch the gremlins they were using to race had. Now, mine has no where near that much power. I can hardly get enough altitude to quickly do a flip. Does anyone know why this might be? My...

    Gremlin Receiver Issue in Beta Flight

    Hi everyone! I've been having some issues with my gremlin in Beta Flight. I've followed the video build guide very closely, but when I go into the receiver tab, all of the values are at 0. I'm using the same exact receiver as the one used in the build video, and my transmitter is a DX6i...

    FT Gremlin Motor/ESC Issue

    Hi guys, Ever since I've had my Gremlin, the performance has been very disappointing. I think the problem has to do with the FC. I have replaced both the motor and ESC that has been acting up. When I arm the quad, the motor seems to struggle to spin up, but then finally gets up to speed...

    Gremlin Idea, would like suggestions.

    If I did this right, there should be two pictures somewhere on this post. I would really like a miniquad that I could just (literally) throw into a car and fly, and that was reliable. I have access to a PCNC Milling Machine, and some common plastic used for it, i found out, is actually somewhat...

    Hire a CNC router?

    First post! I want to build a FT Gremlin but want to design my own frame and get it cut but I don't have a CNC router! Does anyone know of people who do this as a hobby or professionally? I know of online services that contract out 3D prints and I'd like something similar but for cutting parts...

    Receiver for an FT Gremlin

    In the build video for the Gremlin quad there is a Spektrum receiver recommended. I would like to use an Frsky radio. Can someone recommend a receiver that is compatible with both the Frsky transmitter and the flight control board? Thanks, John

    Pre built gremlin twitchy yaw

    Working with a pre built gremlin (Andres frame). It arrived last week and I have been setting it up over last two days. As far as I can tell I have setup everything on my end correctly. My issue comes with how it handles in flight. While in flight, the quad twitches on the yaw axis (at least...

    best FPV setup on budget for a FT gremlin?

    I have been watching flite test for about four years now and i have always been more into their content on planes. Recently I have started wanting to build a FPV quad copter, and what better quad to start with than the gremlin. Being new to quads I am also new to FPV and I always thought that...
