Building my Quadlugs 540mm kit, using Naza M-Lite, Q Brain ESC and some Turnigy motors I had quite the head scratch'r going on. Every time I spooled up, the quad would get to 50% throttle and just flip over. No lift, just a nice solid flip.
After double checking my blades, and motor spin I was good. Maybe I still had the wrong blades - they broke so I had to replace them. Checked again. Went out in our Michigan weather (extremely cold) and boom it did it again.
After a couple Google searches, all relating back to connections, are your motors connected to the appropriate spot in the flight controller. I double checked all my wiring - EXCEPT the Q Brain's leads to the motors themselves. It jumped out at me instantly!
I mounted the Q Brain ESC with the power leads to the rear of the quad. I was so wrapped up in running wires cleanly, I neglected to notice I turned where M1 was going. My motors were not corrected to the appropriate supply on the ESC. BINGO! Simple. I missed it completely!
I think it goes without saying, but always check your work thoroughly. I am going to give myself the check, wait at least another 15 minutes and check it over again - from here on out!
Be safe out there!
On a side note - only props were damaged in this learning experience. Nobody was hurt - but I had a couple blades fly near me.
