A compilation of places I flew and things I recorded this summer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIxdgFuOnwM

Hi all, I have the sim Phoenix myself and lately switched from planes to quadcopters. To get a feel how to do aerobatics with them, I of course started at the place where you can crash your vehicles for free, the simulator. Now, big issue I noticed in Phoenix is how limited the support seems for...

Hello, I'm new to quadcopters and have just completed my first build. My quadcopter is built on the H.AL. Frame with a KK2 board updated to ver 1.6 from Hobbyking. My maiden flight was a week ago and although it flew well, I experienced rudder drift to the left. Throttle, elvevator/airleron...

Hey Flitetest friends! Here is my scratchbuilt quadcopter I call the "XMAX-401" or "The Pancake Quad"! Please tell me what you think and how I can improve it! Thanks! :) I switched the triangular landing gears into foam noodle landing gears to get softer landing!

So I'd picked up 4 Park 300's with the intent of making a quad, but forgot the KK2 board, and its been on back-order for more than a month. So I'm making a FT Flyer-Twin with differential thrust... because... I can! I started soldering connections and testing ESC and motors, and after...

Here is my Tricopter based on the famous David Windestål AKA RC Explorer design. This build has been constructed with care and attention to detail. It is very stable and agile. The Tricopter folds up for easy storage/transport and helps to reduce damage in the event of a crash by absorbing...

I've been searching Google for a while, but the way that website sorts info these days is just plain dreadful... :( Applied many filters to filter away certain results like '-3D-', '-solar', '-car', and many more. Google basically tells people who want to search for non-popular stuff to sod...

Hi, I am a 12 year old boy and I am trying to make my first quad copter (SK450). I have already assembled most of the thing. I am using a KK2 flight controller and I am having some trouble figuring out which order to put the ESCs and the receiver on the board. The manual says to put through...

I'm in the market to upgrade the poplar arms on my v-tail quad to carbon fiber tubing. I'd like square tubing, but round would do also. Each arm is around 40cm long, and right now I'm using 10mm square poplar, so I'm looking for CF around that size. HK seems like it's a decent deal, but it's a...

What's up FT forum! I've had an account on the regular website for a while, and while I lurk the forums often, I'm posting my first question today! Right now, I have a David Windestål style Tricopter, running on a KK2.0 board with the 1.4 software, and while I can fly it confidently, the board...

So when i first got into copters, i saw i could but all sorts of frame, but to be honest, they were boring and more importantly it was not challenge or any fun to just build a out of box frame, so i decided i would laser cut my own frames. Now i will point out, i sell these frames, but i can...

Hello people, this is a nice big open question to you all, has anyone built an anycopter bicopter? if so will you post details below as i think it would be awesome *in a david voice* if not i may just build my own

hey guys this will be my first post here- finally found a simple yaw system. i had to share with the people who inspired me to make the tricopter to begin with. place i ordered from had them to my door on 3rd day first a pros and cons list pros: total cost <12.$ minus ship miniscule parts...

I had an idea the other day while I was watching a video about the "Sand Flea" -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b4ZZQkcNEo I was thinking about building a spring loaded launch assembly for my Q450 Quadcopter, using a servo and a compression spring, or perhaps some type of piston? The whole idea...

Greetings community, I'm planning on building a quad and would like to ask you all for recommendations or help me to find the right components for the quad. I'll just go over the list of what i thought could match (help me out if something is wrong there) (already bought) Frame D2830-11 1000kv...

For those trying to get into the multirotor scene without spending too much $$$, I have devoted many hours into filming and editing this 5-part video to make the process less daunting for you all. Below is the first part, let me know if you guys need any additional information.

My first build log ever. Whoop! Hopefully, this is helpful to some folks. Close up of the power distribution pads I installed my motors first since I have long motor leads. I then soldered the motors directly to the ESC. I am using Hobby King F-30A flashed with wii-esc. The motor...

http://www.rctimer.com/index.php?gOo=goods_details.dwt&goodsid=725&productname= ~ I found this KK board from RCTimer.com. Does anybody have experience with this board? I looks similar to other boards I've seen, and it's only $19 with the programming cable. There seem to be a lot of similar ones...

Hi, thanks for viewing this post, hope you can help me! (first time ever making a post in a forum!) I am new to rc flying, cant fly a plane or a heli yet decided my first build was going to be a tricopter after I found this web site and from here, davids rcexplorer.se. So now i have finished...

So today I went to our local hobby shop and they had just rcv'd the new Blade MQX micro quad-copter. The guy at the store has seen my big quad a number of times, so he asked me if I wanted to give this little micro quad a try. Of course I said yes! :) (To be truthful, I couldnt get my hands...
