    Guardian Gremlin build video

    Trying to control a servo on a remapped TX pad.

    I've been flying my fpv quad for the past few months and want to add a servo to the build. I saw another thread saying you could use a tx pad to send a signal to a servo so I've been trying to do that. I've remapped it in the CLI to be a servo, I've checked "SERVO_TILT " in the config tab, and...

    Plane B-58 Hustler - Quad 70mm EDF Beast --

    This was my "quarantine build" in early 2020, and I'm so happy with how it came out! It's big, about 7ft long and 4ft span, but it actually is a fairly simple build. The fuselage is simplified, square cross section, but its presence in the air is undiminished! Details in the build thread...

    0s - no battery in Betaflight even when my battery is connected.

    I have this really weird problem where Betaflight doesn't seem to recognize that my battery is plugged in. I've tried 4 different batteries and I'm still getting the same problem. When I'm not connected via USB I can arm my motors and get them spinning with just the battery so I know I'm getting...

    HDMI Out & Building an FPV IRL Streaming Drone

    I'm new to fpv and I'm currently planning on building out a project where I need HDMI video out. What I'm finding is that most things fpv are analog with only HDMI in on goggles, unless you're going with something like lightbridge, but then you're limited to only flying dji gear right? I have a...

    Eachine Wizard x220hv arms but motors wont spin

    So I was flying it yesterday and everything was alright. I didn't crash it and got some great footage. Anyway, today I took it to a park and tried to fly it. I was surprised when it armed and everything, but the motors didn't spin. I went onto betaflight and all the settings are the same...

    Help! Quad Copter motor and prop

    So, I'm building my own drone and I'm thinking of using a 4S battery on a 1.5 pound or 700 grams drone. I was going to use a 3S, but it's very hard to find testing on the motors that I am trying to get. So around what kV motor should I be looking for? I've been looking at the Mini Quad Test...

    Futuristic Weapons Build Test: A Flying M1 Abrams

    Okay, Flite Test, since we are entering into the Futuristic Style going on in the Military, I was thinking, build a RC M1 Abrams; a nice size, workable turret, tracks, it should be able to drive like a M1 Abrams, but then a added boast to the attack, able to fly, able to aim and fire with the...

    Help!!! im not even sure what my problem is other than my quad falls out of the sky!

    So I can take off. But then when I go above or below mid throttle-ish, it decides to flip over. First I thought it was the gyro. Then the esc because I realized they had different versions flashed. Now I'm suspicious of one of the motors because it feels looser than the rest. But when I...
