help!

Hi Folks- back to the hobby after a 40 year break! I'm having troubles with the ESC supplied with the Flite Test "power pack B" (it's labled 35A / BEC 3A 5V / LIPO 2S-4S). I've got a Tattu 1300mAh 45C 3S battery. The issue is that when I connect the battery to the ESC, I get the full...

Hey everyone, brand new to forums and would love some help. I just finished putting together my first fpv drone and cannot seem to get any video to my goggles. I have matched the VTX channel with the channel in my goggles but all I get is static! Is there a way to know which component is causing...

Hi all, Im having trouble getting my fs-t6 to connect to my pc. I bought this cable, I hook it up to my pc and in device manager it shows up as ppm, but in the "set up a usb controller" section I cant get any data to show up from my sticks. Its the same in all the sims, It just doesn't pick up...

Hey, Finished building my blunt nose versa. What motor should I use? I want a motor giving me fast performance and long flight times. I am planning to use a 10x7 prop. I have checked the cg without any electronics mounted (servos doesn't count) and it's sooo tail heavy. I tried placing 2 3s...

Hey everyone I'm new to the Flitetest community and came looking for help in the hobby of multi rotors, more specifically a quad. I've done my own research on youtube and online but still not sure on all the parts or specs that would "WORK together". I've put together a quad similar to one I've...

So I am looking to build a pair of Old Speedsters so that my grandfather (a former private pilot) and myself (only trained on combat simulators and a full scale Cessna 172) to get into the hobby. I have done a little flying with a S.E.5a from flyzone that I burned the ESC out on within a month...

So I am looking at spending about $100 to $150 this summer on a radio and receiver combo. I want to have at least 6 channels to work with so I can do bomb drops and stuff. Something that lets me have presets for different planes I own would be nice. Im open to anything a little over or under...

I have a project in mind and figured I would ask the largest bank of flight knowledge I have access to. I have decided that I want to build a flying war platform with FPV and bomb drops and the like. Since I partake in Nerf wars quite regularly and many of them are outside I figured that a UAV...

So I decided that for $70 I couldn't pass up the chance to start flying with a WWI warbird. I have flown full sized planes before and had been playing combat simulators since I was a wee tot and figured that if I could handle flying anything from a Sopwith Camel to a Spitfire, even a Corsair...

From a pile of rubbish to something that will fly? Unlikely, but this is the fuselage of a RC glider I bought for £10 ($17) in the Antiques Village, Manchester, UK. It looks rough, but the wingspan is over 2m, and the fuselage is mostly intact, with control horns and pushrods installed and...

Has anyone ever built or flew one of these kits, and are they any good, it's going to be £90 ($150) so I want to make sure they fly well, and are relatively easy to build. Thanks in advance. Andrew. \m/_
