    Quad does the boogie when coming down...

    Heya, support has been awesome on this forum, so I'm going on ahead and shoot another question. :D My Quad shakes quite violently when coming down, spectators always go: "Go higher!" And I don't mind making them happy, but when I wish to get the Quad back down again, it shakes eerily violent...

    Hand-launching quads?

    Hi, just a quick question, I wish to know if it's pretty do-able to hand-launch quads. I see people do it, but mostly with smaller quads.

    What happens when quad looses a motor, see the video.

    Here's a video of my DJI F450 Naza gps quad with TBS motor + ESC combo taking a dirt nap. One ESC had cold soldered connector on it from factory. Always check your multirotor escs and don't trust expensive stuff. That was lesson i learned. Makes me wonder why pay more for poor quality when you...
