quad

I have a diatone 250 ghost frame which is an X style quad with hobbywing ESCs, a KK mini with stock firmware, and DYS 2300 kv motors. When i first got the quad it was LOS since i hadn't yet got the money for FPV and i did the settings to the best of my ability but it just doesn't feel locked in...

Hey guys, first time here :D I've built a quad. obviously. I cant seem to get it stable.... I've calibrated everything as per instructions found here on the flite test site. Both the kk board and the qbrain quad esc work great in calibration mode but when i power up things go... hinky. I'm...

Hi Guys! Keeping the upcoming bad weather in mind, when you can't fly your quads, I've been working on a programming project for a while, where I write a multi-rotor simulator game. My goal is to achieve the maximum realism, and this includes physics simulation, fully customizable aricrafts with...

Hi guys, So I have been flying my Nighthawk Pro 280 (ARF) pretty hard recently and I had a crashed which has wiped out my motor which I had ordered and now arrived. My only question is what is the connection for connecting my motor to the ESC/PDB? It looks like a plug with three pins and where...

Earlier today i was flying my 250 quad and "landed it" into the only piece of concrete around.. ugh. Now when i power up the back left motor does power up but only gives about half the power of the others and makes this odd odor that smells a little bit like new plastic. :confused: I have...

I'm looking to build a quad using the ElectroHub kit. I was wondering if anyone can help me understand the simple disk motor mount. How does the motor get attached to the motor mount? I see that each disk has 4 holes and the photo shows 2 of these used to secure the disks to the boom. Do I...

Hey there, I just wanted to share my build instructions / build blog I did about putting together my first ZMR250 budget FPV mini quad. It's completely in German, so this should be interesting to all the German Flite Test forum users. have fun...

For my second quad, what will be cheaper? To buy ready to fly quads or to build one. I've never build one before. Also links to specific quads would be great. I would really like to to be able to hold a camera to take pictures and video. Thanks

I have made a quite a few flying machines over the past 3 years but this one is the most custom yet as I have taken apart my 680 sized hex and am converting it into Quad or if needed a co-axial octa. This is going to be used to lift a GHT 3 axis gimbal and a NEX size camera (specifically an...

So there I was in the not-so-local hobby shop on the way back from dropping my wife off at the airport (surefire formula for an RC purchase:cool:) and there on the counter were stacks of these little guys just received a few days ago. Having purchased a couple of Pico QX's for my son and my...

I recently built a hexacopter intended for shooting aerial video. It's not complete yet, but the few test I've done with it(strapping a camera to it with rubber bands) show that there is an excessive amount of vibrations. I'm still in the process of building the gimbal. I have balanced all my...
