quadcopter

Hey guys… I have built a wooden H-Quad and this is my first build. I’m just building it to practice how to fly quads before I build/buy expensive ones. I’m using following specs: - Flip32, - SimonK 30A ESC, - 2200mAh 25c Lipo. - Props 10x4.5" 1045L/R - A2212 KV1000 Brushless Motors When I...

Collected a few clips from various runs with the Yuneec Q500+ and CGO2+ camera.

hello, i just wanted to share my video. its a video shot with a 250 size FPV quadcopter, i hope you guys like it. if you like the video please subscribe to my channel for more fpv racing action

So what is so different between a motor for a plane and a quadcopter? For example a 1000kv motor for a plane vs a 1000kv motor for a quadcopter. Also it would be very helpful if you can recommend me 4 good motors for a quadcopter. Around 1000kv preferably not below 1000. Also Is a 4s battery...

Hello, I want to join the quadcopter part of the hobby (already flown planes LOS and FPV), and want to ask if you guys think this is a good setup Frame: Emax Nighthawk Motors: EMAX Cooling Series Multicopter Motor MT2204 KV2300 ESC: BLHeli Series 20A ESC (is this ESC too big?) RX: rSky Delta 8...

How about a test on the Traxxas QR 1 or the LaTrax Alias multirotors. I have owned a couple of the Traxxas RC cars and they are insane for out of the box machines. I would suspect the same of these 2 fliers. My local hobby shop has these and I might consider one for my first multirotor flier...

Hey everyone, first post... So I've been meaning to ask some technical questions about the factors that are involved in the FPV system. I've just pieced together my first system over the weekend and took a maiden flight a bit earlier today, and so far it was a success, but I'm trying to...

So I am fairly New to the R.C Hobby, But I have watched a lot of flight test and season 1 of Maker Hangar by Make. So I know a little bit. I want to make a fairly powerful quadcopter that can lift a GoPro with a Gimble. I want to make it similar to dji in the sense that the extra power gives me...

Help Gps tracking quadcopter (grad project) Hi everyone I am new to these issues so I have few questions about my grad project. Let me describe it for you. we are asked to build an X type quadcopter that tracks a gps signal on a person and follows he/she in front of him/her (like lily drone)...

For the last couple of months i was thinking about making a 180 size quadcopter, but i had my doubts. I thought it was perhaps too small. But a couple of weeks ago i saw someone fly a 180 size quadcopter (a epiquad) and i knew i wanted to make one. See the 2 video's for the complete buildlog...

So I was reading the news this afternoon and found an interesting article on Fox News about a launch and recovery quad that utilized a sort of sky hook for fixed wings, the idea being that no fixed wing drone pilot wants to belly land an expensive military drone on the deck of an aircraft...

I'm thinking about building a new multirotor this winter. I have a 3d printed 250 class tricopter I've been flying around for about a year, but I'd like to build something to get nice, gimbal stabilized video. I like the cost and flexibility of the electrohub, but I'm curious about flight...

Hey guys, towards the end of the summer I took my miniquad and mountain bike and started riding down a trail close to my house that I had never gone down before. The trail is overgrown at the start and is about a mile long stretch until it runs into a road. Breaking off half way down the trail I...

Hi Crew. I'm new to this game so take it easy. I have built, and rebuilt, flashed and reflashed, Quadtriple Checked my Motor/Prop directions, Calibrated, binded and everything that i can think of but: I can't get this quad to take off! Everything spins the right way and makes a great noise but...

Hi. Has anyone got or tried the Ardupilot mega 2.8? I am still learning to set it up with the Mission Planner software. Does this version (2.8) have a built in compass? There is practically no info on this version. The reason I ask is because I am trying to use an external compass with GPS...

I've checked the prop direction, Calibrated the ESC's, even set the trim to the opposite direction. Nothing seems to help :( . I'm using the Flite Test Electrohub build kit, using a standard X-configuration. I think its something wrong with the programming maybe but I'm unsure. I'm using a...

Hello guys! Im not very active in forums etc but i wanted to share this with everyone. In the last couple of weeks i was designing a new mini 250 size quadcopter for racing. Watch the video below! Comments and suggestions are very welcome! I want to keep improving my mini quadcopters!

A little upgrade for my Banggood UFO copter. took an 18650 battery and soldered a connector directly to it. Replaced the little 10 gram stick of gum battery that was blowing up like a balloon. Had to remove the landing gear and body and camera but hey it flies! Might fly with the stuff attached...

First Quadcopter Build ZMR 250 I'm not the newest person in RC but I din't really jump in until last year. I did some stuff in 7200 mhz days but after that I fell out. I got back in and now I've built my first quad and I love them. It's now my new obsession and I foresee a lot of money...

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
