I just built a new quad with a spracingf3 flight controller and I have a problem where motor 1 will randomly turn off when i give it power... , I have checked all solder connections... I have tried to flash cleanflight firmware to try to fix it but it says lost connection, and something about...
Hi, I'm just getting into R/C, and am building a "towel" Delta-wing flyer, one mistake at a time.
I've got fully charged lipos, an ESC that seems to be responding correctly, a receiver that appears to be working, and a motor that can maintain rpm only with the TX shut off, and only for a...
Hi guys! :) I'm here because my motor (Flite Test Power Pack A, Emax MT 1806) is not responding, even at full throttle. :confused: I tried to calibrate my ESC multiple times, but it didn't work. My ESC is the Flite Test Power Pack A ESC (BL Heli - 12 amp). I watched "Connecting Electronics"...
Hello,
I am new to the rc world, so I decided to build the mini mustang, and now that I am finished with the built in was checking the electronics and something weird happens. I already did the throttle range adjustment for the esc, but when I try to start the motor at low speed it starts to...
Hello,
Me and my friend designed a EDF jet engine, wich we printed out using a 3D printer. After assembly and testing we came to a conclusion that it is working pretty well. So we decided to build a bigger one. Currently the jet turbine measures 12cm (4.73in) and it is 22cm (8.66in) long. The...
Hello,
first of all, I hope this is the right sub-forum. Second, I need advices for my Quadcopter. I built it pretty clueless a year ago from an instrictable, this are the specs:
Hobbyking X580 Glass Fiber Quadcopter Frame
NTM Prop Drive 28-30S 800KV with Prop mounting stuff
Afro ESC 30Amp...
Outside the US us scratch builders have a very different foam board available. Among the differences is weight. Some have said it's as much as 30% heavier. My question is how can I compensate for the weight?
I've built a Tiny Trainer and I know it will fly because if I throw it it has a lovely...
I could use your help. I have purchased two 1103 racerstar brushless motors for an indoor flyer to use at a winter scouting event building chuck gliders. I expect the gymnasium will give this plenty of room. However, I'm pretty sure I made a mistake buying these. Especially with these ESCs as I...
I just ordered the flite test power pack B, I got all the electronics hooked up just fine with a lemon rx receiver but the motor is not working for some reason there are no esc beeps. I checked to make sure all the electronics are plunged into the correct channel and that the battery is working...
I understand how diameter of brush-less out-runners gain more torque but i cant find anywhere what the height of the can helps with. If someone could enlighten me that would be fantastic!
im new to posting and forums so bear with me. I had and old 3d balsa airplane that had a NEOdym 400 1120kv motor on it with a 25amp eflite esc. i turned a 10x7 apc prop with it. it ran off a electoflight 3s 20c 1200 mah battery. it still runs well on the bench. i was wondering if i could goto a...
I recently just bought the motor in the power pack b which is the EMAX CF2822 1200KV MOTOR. I only have a 2 cell battery, and a good enough esc. However I really want to build the ft storch, or the bush wacker. But, I don't know if my motor and battery, and prop combo will work. In this case my...
Hello!
I have a A2212/13T 1000kv motor, that I removed from my crashed ( :( ) plane, and I going to build another but...
I don't know how to choose, because I want to build a swappable one from the flite test, but I don't know wich model I can put this motor.
And I'm a begginer on...
I'm taking the plunge into RC airplanes with the FT Explorer + Power Pack C. Everything is great so far, but I'm running into an issue with the Emaxx GT2215/09 motor. Basically, everything else seems to work -- receiver, ESC, servos -- but the motor either does absolutely nothing or else beeps...
Hi everyone.
My bixler 1.1 killed a ESC a few months ago, it was a mystrey (blueseries) 40A. I thought It died because of lack of airflow in the fuselage.
Today I finally got around to putting another ESC in it, I replaced it with a blueseries 30A, but this time mounted it ontop of the wing...
I have 30A ESCs and EMAX RS2205 motors - the motors come with 30 AWG wires and the ESCs have 18 AWG wire.
I made a few mistakes getting things connected to the PDB - long story short I had to buy more wire and all I could find was 22 AWG wire.
I know that too much amperage over wires that are...
I have been given a Velineon 3500 motor, which comes out of an R/C car. Is there any reason I cannot use this in an airplane? I hate to waste a good (free!) motor.
