multirotor

I was trying to fly much faster then usual. It was fun :)

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...

I am running a dji flame wheel f450 equipped with a 3DR Pixhawk autopilot system. The problem is that no matter how low I set the pid values the copter sill oscillates. I have replaced the board once already and saw the exact same thing happen with the second board. I ran a test of the sensors...

Hi Everyone, This thread is about a programmable anti-crash system on which i have been working on for couple of months and i need your suggestions . It is capable of doing obstacle avoidance, shortest path measurement, 3D mapping(Kinect or xtion ), object recognition and tracking using SURF...

Hey everyone! A few months ago, I built the FT rotorbones tricopter and have had a blast with it. One issue that I have is flight time. Using a 2100mAh 3s battery, I only get between 5-6 minutes of flight. Does that sound low, and if so, any suggestions on how to increase the flight time...

Hello, I am tired of my dt750's and I want to upgrade but I can't decide between the sunnysky v2216 8 or 900kv and the Turnigy multistar 2216 800kv. What motor should I chose?

Long story short, I had a $600 budget. Now I have $200 and no multirotor. If your wondering how that happened please read the story below. To start off I'd like to confess I know very little about multirotors, I've only been flying and scratch building about three or four months now and thats...

I was wondering if anyone has made a tricopter using a naza-H as the controller. I just upgraded one of my quads to a nazaM lite and I like the features. having the same for my tricopter would be cool. If anyone knows if this has been done or if its impossible pls reply

I wanted to share the plans for my current build. Its a Spider Hex for FPV. The special thing about it. It uses 10° forward angled motors. I relay liked the idea from shrediquettes GEMiNi to improve the top speed of the quad by slightly angeling the motors forward...

Hello I’m hoping someone can help me with my issue. I finally got all the parts for my quad-copter and from what I can tell I have everything set correctly and everything is bound correctly. However the KK2.0 board will not arm and the receiver test shows 0 for all values despite the TX and RX...

Hello :D I have a love/hate relationship going on with my Talon Tricopter. I've got it flying, tuned in etc. etc. and it seems to not have a problem until... After a bit of hovering I move off slowly for some out and back type circuits (in the fairly tight area I have been testing in behind...

Hi everyone, this is my first post in the forum. I want to thank Flite Test for reinvigorating my love for the hobby. Years ago I was inspired by videos from RCPowers and decided to buy the Wildhawk. Sadly, I never got it flying and was discouraged from continuing the hobby, although I continued...

So i made articles about this, but i keep having new ideas/changes and have realized that this needs to be a forum discussion until it's finalized, then i'll make a new article(: anyway, i made a google doc that is publically editable to collect a bunch of multirotor setups and their respective...

Hi everyone! So I am experiencing problems with my KK2.1 board and/or my tilt mechanism. As the tri lifts, 1 of 2 things happen: 1) The motor is not tilted, so it takes off, and less than a second later, it begins to yaw, then, as if the gyros are attempting to compensate, but are tilting in...

have built a tri and quad, both using stock software on esc's form hobbyking, built the x900 and x550 with their recommended parts, but still having issues with both not staying in a relatively stable position, before I go on I do have V1.2 software on the kk2, still waiting on the USB to update...

Hi folks I've been flying for a while and recently got into multirotors, built a tricopter to David's design, then made a few changes and now I am up to version 3 of my own take on David's tricopter. It flies great and is the most stable and responsive tricopter I've built yet. However, I've...

Hi, I have spent the past few months playing with the Hoten X quadcopter. It is super fun, but I want to build something of my own. I think the Knuckle Quad looks wonderful. I haven't built anything before (excluding a simple little plane), so I was wondering if someone could take a look at...

I Thought Since i was flying in a field which had sheep in i would try my hand at herding, the easy way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4ANHNDQwCA&feature=youtu.be You can see the flight statistics here http://flytrex.com/mission/quadcopter-asq--piers-ross-roberts-5393/ I have found using the...
