quadcopter

Hello, so I'v built and flown a couple of time my s500 quadcopter. It weighs 1.5 KG and hovers around half throttle. I have had a frequent problem of it just losing power suddenly, which is due to the turnigy banana connectors not being wide enough with the two banana connectors attached to the...

Hey, on here some time ago I was told to get the Syma X1 for my first quad to learn how to fly and get the hang of things. I'm really enjoying this, and would like to start to be able to use a camera now for areal photography and video. I don't have any experience building, and don't want to...

Hi there everyone, I am looking at a new racing hex. Nothing like the gemini by Team Black Sheep. I want to built it my self and have been looking for new frames. I previously built a Tri-copter and that went amazingly. the first was a bat bone with the old moved to the HJ-Y3. And guys, if...

Last year I was given an emax 250 before they were even publicizing it as the nighthawk. Unfortunately the place that provided me with that quad is no longer doing business, but I've had a lot of fun with it. The main reason it was given to me was so I could assist people with getting GPS...

Hi guys, At first, I am a befuddled guy from Germany, so my english isnt that great. I want to build the electrohub quadcopter, but i want to configure it with a gps system that i can use something like a failsave, if i activate it, the quadcopter should come back in a adjustable high. And...

Hey Everyone, Have a partially assembled Luminier QAV400 that I need to sell, along with my Spectrum Transmitter. Everything is new and in perfect condition, I bought the Build it Yourself kit from getfpv.com and due to other obligations have never been able to finish it. This quad has amazing...

I've spent hours researching all over the internet, but can't seem to get a straight answer to this question: What characteristics does a quadcopter need to have for easy handling in high wind (20 mph)? Flight Style: Slow, Steady, Long-Duration Flights with FPV. Compatibility Considerations...

I'm new to the multi rotor scene and have built an electrohub Quad using the dihedral booms and Naze32 board. I originally built with the flip 1.5 and FT recommendations from the build video. I switched to the Naze32 due to the easier setup using Mac computers and Chrome browser. I am still...

So I have a 5.8GHz sky zone plug and play + quantum fpv goggles. I did have it working at first but I only got about 100ft to 150 ft of rang from it. From what I can tell that is really small. Now I cant get more than 50ft away and my signal keep cutting out randomly even if I'm not moving or...

I just wanted to share this little find. I recently built an angled arm racing quadcopter with the electrohub like Eric Monroe's in the Naze32 setup video and really wanted to get a dome to protect the flight control board like the one Eric used. I searched online and couldn't find one with...

Hello everyone, I am excited to announce the launch of my new Youtube channel - Velocirotor! The concept of making and sharing aerial videos is what got me into the hobby and now I finally feel ready to start producing my own videos. Most of my videos will be freestyle FPV at various locations...

Dear Flitetest forum I am currently building a scratch built quad copter. I Bought the E310 motor set from DJI (http://store.dji.com/product/e310-4) and saw in the package that there is a small power distribution board. Now I've read in the manual to solder the Wires direct on the board But...

I got this mini quadcopter which flies. But, I thought, I would program it to take some autonomous decision. Since, it has both gyro and 3 axis accelerometer built-in, it should be capable of auto correct few flight problems. It has an Atmega328p chip. Means there is possibility that I can...

Hello Flitetest, My name is Riley Turner and am a college student at UCLA who wants to make drones approachable for anybody. I set out 10 months ago to design and produce the best drone kit on the market and this is what I came up with! I call it the Timber Drone. Timber Drone is as follows...

I recently bought this racing Quadcopter that was called the Walkera Runner 250. It flew well until I crashed it. It was about 35 feet up and then I dropped all throttle and could not correct it after adding more. It crashed on one side but nothing was apparently broken. Then when I tried...
