multirotor

Would it be possible to use various types of motors to build a form of functioning podracer? The more I've been getting into building, the more I've wondered but I don't have as much of the know how that a lot of other people on here would have. My thought was two jet engines would sit at the...

Hi there, i've been watching flitetest videos on youtube for years, and have enjoyed flying quad copters and rc helis when i had the chance, now after flying other peoples MultiRotors for years i want to make my own. Now ive had a few ideas and although i'm no stranger to electronics and...

Hello, noob here. I recently completed my first build of a new y6 copter and I have started the installation of my naze board. I have a naze 32 rev 6 board and I have already flashed it. It came with a breakout cable with 8 connections. Can anyone tell me what connection go where on my spektrum...

Hey all, it is time for another multirotor build. I have been planning this one for the past few months. My first multirotor was a home built 600mm AP rig with a large gimbal for a pocket size camera. It flew, but pretty poorly and the footage was never really any good. So last winter I designed...

I am having some problems with my kk mini board, which has worked previously but is now behaving strangely. I switched it on, did an ACC calibration and a receiver test, where it said everything was working fine. I then armed it and throttled up, but after around 3 seconds the motors stopped...

Hi all, Since I couldn't find any "acrobatic" multirotor flying thread on the forum, I thought about starting a thread in the electric multirotor section, and eventually, if enough people is (or get) hooked to it, maybe creating a section for it in the "specialty flying" section ! :) So, to...

Hi everyone! I've flown a Bix3, a F949, but never a quadcopter (other than the one flight I did with an AR.Drone 1.0). A couple of weeks ago, I found a quadcopter near a stream of water at the boarding school I attend. The battery was hanging out of it and the camera had fallen off, but I...

Hey guys… I have built a wooden H-Quad and this is my first build. I’m just building it to practice how to fly quads before I build/buy expensive ones. I’m using following specs: - Flip32, - SimonK 30A ESC, - 2200mAh 25c Lipo. - Props 10x4.5" 1045L/R - A2212 KV1000 Brushless Motors When I...

How about a test on the Traxxas QR 1 or the LaTrax Alias multirotors. I have owned a couple of the Traxxas RC cars and they are insane for out of the box machines. I would suspect the same of these 2 fliers. My local hobby shop has these and I might consider one for my first multirotor flier...

Hi, I'm a complete newbie in the world of multirotors and relatively uninitiated in the RC world. However, i am doing a project at college that requires me to build and fly a drone as a platform for something relatively heavy. I know you are all going to suggest i start off with something less...

I'm tired of hearing on the news that there trying to make laws on banning the "drones" themselfs. Sence when do we let people sit back and place all responsibility on a peace of equipment. A drone crashes into a crowd and harms three people. News said it's the drones fault. "Pilot" said it's...

Earlier today i was flying my 250 quad and "landed it" into the only piece of concrete around.. ugh. Now when i power up the back left motor does power up but only gives about half the power of the others and makes this odd odor that smells a little bit like new plastic. :confused: I have...

All right, this might end up getting lenthy... I was wondering what the opinions on RTF FPV quads like the Runner 250 GPS or Eachine Racer 250 are, since they offer a much greater bang for the buck than HobbyKing scratch building, whitch apparently isnt that good Eachine...

I am new to the game. I admit it. Yet still, I have been flying for 2 years now (on and off. - Mostly off). I had an AR Drone which felt stable, then I had a bunch of micro quads, and now I have a massive QAV250 with basically the most expensive hardware. I have not yet put FPV on it, but I just...

Hello. I'm new to DIY multirotor. I want to is there any electronics besides the receiver that I need to know about? I currently have a Spektrum dx6. Is there any receivers you recommend? Any help is appreciated. Thank you

My RC flying club recently has been getting requests from people flying that have purchased drones to join and use our flying field. We have two runways and they are used primarily by fixed wing aircraft. For those of you that are members of clubs or use shared RC Flying fields, how do you...

Hi all ... first time poster, but long time flitetest show fan. So I've built my first quad, everything seems to have gone relatively smoothly, other than the fact that the motors don't spin when instructed (I know, that might be problematic) :) The quad I've put together uses an Seriously Pro...

I have a kk mini and would like to change the firmware to one with a failsafe. I couldn't find any firmware specifically for the kk mini. I am using the hk-t6A transmitter so I have no way of adding a failsafe with the radio Do you know if I can flash the kk2 firmware onto the kk mini, and if...

Hi there everyone, I am looking at a new racing hex. Nothing like the gemini by Team Black Sheep. I want to built it my self and have been looking for new frames. I previously built a Tri-copter and that went amazingly. the first was a bat bone with the old moved to the HJ-Y3. And guys, if...
