I just recently got into quadcopters and I bought my first kit, the Electrohub. I got everything together with some help from some great people on the forums. I went in my backyard and got it in the air for about 10 seconds and landed it now satisfied it would fly. Later that night someone on the forum told me I needed to calibrate my ESC's (F-20A Fire Red series SimonK) via this method.
0) Ensure all props are off!
1) turn on TX
2) move throttle to full
3) power up ESC with battery
4) listen for a series of beeps/tones, at the end of which you:
5) drop the throttle down to zero
6) unplug ESC from battery and RX, and move onto the next one.
After calibrating them this way my quad would not fly and would flip over immediately and I have no idea why. Please help I am 14 and I invested all of my money from Christmas into this quad and would really like to get it flying.
I used a Tactic RX and TX because the Lemon TX I ordered for my DX6I would not properly bind. The person who told me those instructions was told by me that I would be using a Lemon RX and a DX6I TX.
All propellers are put on correctly and everything is plugged in correctly. Only one motor will turn on until the throttle is increased.
Also all parts on my quad are from the ReadyToFlyQuads Electrohub kit. With a multiwii flip 1.5 pre-flashed spider quad board. All parts are the recommended ones.
Please help! Thanks! Any information and criticism is welcome!
