multirotor

Show Idea:How To: set ups & build for long flight duration/distance. SHOW IDEA... Tried editing headline. No go. Hello. I am a new viewer to test flight and have very quickly become an avid viewer. I am a noob to the rc world but have just bought (in the mail) my first quadcopter and am...

Hello Flitetest, My name is Riley Turner and am a college student at UCLA who wants to make drones approachable for anybody. I set out 10 months ago to design and produce the best drone kit on the market and this is what I came up with! I call it the Timber Drone. Timber Drone is as follows...

With so many choices to choose from, I was wondering what you guys look for personally when buying a multirotor. Do you prefer a kit or a ready-to-fly? Or just the frame or maybe a PNF? Perhaps you prefer to scratch build? Does it have to look good aesthetically? Or do you utilitarians not...

All are invited to Bayrc.net's first Bay Area fly in! I'm excited and it's coming up quick!. It's a day full of new faces, flying and fun. There will be several competitions through out the day as well as a BBQ and Raffle. Raffle prices include multirotor equipment form Quadrevo and...

Hope my title caught your attention! :D It is true: I am building an aerial photography craft of epic proportions. Right now, I have a setup in mind, but before I go an throw down $7000, I thought I'd chat with everyone first. So my plan (as of 6/29/15) is to build a custom X8 frame. Motors...

Help is needed! I have nearly finished my not so fancy kk2 quad and on its maiden, one of the motors stopped turning. I needed to push it a little to get it going, otherwise it would just wiggle, and I also need to move my throttle nearly halfway up to start the motors. Im using the reccomended...

Did my Flip32 S**t the bed??? or the motors/esc's??? Hey guys! Im new to the multirotor world, I just built my first quad and finally got it up in the air the other day with zero issues without any tuning. but after my first flight i ran into some (what appears to be) serious issues. if you...

Hello all, A couple of weeks ago I purchased the Electrohub quadcopter kit. After watching the videos, it went together very smoothly. After setting up the Naze 32 board I have come across an issue that I hope someone can help me with. I am currently using the featherweight lemon rx receiver...

Not a tree in sight? Sick of picking your quad out of the bramble bush? Wanna hone your skills but can't find that perfect place to fly at? Keep crashing into invisible objects while FPV Night Racing? Sick of carrying around bulky PVC and pool noodles? I wanna know what is your ideal race...

Hello, I am new around here, so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. I have had a few years of experience with RC flying; airplanes, helicopters, RTF quads, etc. Over this past year (on and off), I have build a ~450mm quadcopter and fitted it with the FatShark Teleporter 3 kit to...

Hey guys! This will be a thread dedicated to my first FPV 250 quad build. Flight test is awsome, and i am looking forward to going through this process with you guys. Excluding an old Syma X1 toy that I totaled a few weeks ago, this will be my first quadcopter, so wish me luck. I have ordered...

Hey guys I wanted to share with everyone my experience building my first multirotor and some of the things I did to get it in the air. I set this up to be 2 person so I can fly it and someone else work the camera. First Id like to say this was built with the idea of moving some of the parts...

Well, my quadcopter is complete! I have learned how to fly on a Nano QX, now know how to build a quad, but I am having trouble learning how to tune my quad by myself. I have watched many different videos over and over about P&I settings, what they do, and how to tune your quad. But I am still...

I'm sure some folks don't like cheap quad kits, but I had to go for it. All the more expensive bare bones kits I looked at didn't include an FC board, so I went this route to see if I even like multi rotors. I also like the small airframe to start out, since I don't have a ton of space in my...

The video above is a comparison between our aluminum frame and a G10 counter part. It tests things like strength, weight, and overall durability. The idea came about after we got tired of buying knockoff G10 frames online, each time we crashed hard we pretty much needed a new frame. So I had an...

I have been flying quadcopters for quite some time but mainly have been rtf. I really want to make a multirotor for fpv racing. I'm stuck on the fence between trying to make a 250 class quad or a tricopter as I like the yaw characteristics of a tri and they are relatively cheaper to make. Any...

So, I'm building an rcexplorer tricopter, and for a control board, I have purchased a kk2, no point one or mini, thanks to readytoflyquads. I soldered all my little pins and plugged it all in and... im up a river i thought oh it will have an older firmware ill get the usb adaptor and update it...

I'd like to add a bomb drop to my Tricopter to release parachute guys for the kids. In order to hook up the servo can I just connect that to my receiver? I'm just making sure there is enough voltage from the receiver to power a servo since my receiver is powered by my KK2.1.5 board. Or is...

Hi guys, Looking for motor suggestions for my new tricopter build. I want a motor with loads of power, capable of 4s, and able to spin a commonly available quad prop(counter rotation, bolt on style etc). I've been looking around on hobbyking and can't seem to settle on one. The motors...
