What Did You Fly Today

["Corpse"]

Kinda giving advice that I have no clue about Im not a drone guy but I worked in IT and the classic “turn it off and on again” and “substitute parts til it works” is a sure fire way to solve anything

That and for mechanical problems don't forget more duct tape!

Nope! They just aren't making the rpm's like they used too! (Fully charged lipo)

All 4 motors? Odds are pretty slim you would burn out all 4 at the same time.

Yup, I have a feeling I'll have to get a new FC for the whoop, but there is a silver lining. I have to use a crap 5 year old's controller to fly this thing. If I get a nicer FC I'll be able to use my newly arrived Jumper T12!

Two very successful maidens today in the wind 😂
No way I was sitting at home just waiting for a good day, get them up there where they belong

Either my tiny whoop board is acting up, or my motors died! My whoop no longer has enough power to even take off! Does anybody know what a burnt motor behaves like?

On mine they just started losing power, it would fall out of hard corners and not have enough power to recover from bumping stuff. Overall I'd just have to run higher on the throttle all the time, causing higher battery drain with less power available.

Beautiful on both accounts

Uncut 4k flight with the Bee. Still heavily loaded with some dip on launch, but dialed in pretty nicely now and flies smooth despite being a bit chunky.

Kevin Garland if I'm correct. He was posting stuff about that laser this morning

The Whoop has brushed motors typically after an hour of flying you will notice a little difference in power and it is down hill from there they are not like the in runners that are brushless. Replace motors and I will bet you will be good to go, also that little 1.25 pico connector after plugging and unplugging as few as 30 times has shown reduce voltage because of resistance, I switched mine over to 1.50 and got different batteries to match. huge difference

Ok.. Warts and all (and there are many). first 'real' flight... Simple scout scratch build.... Shout out to BATTLEAXE for steering me to this model!


And by semi controlled landing I mean that I was TRYING to land... But did a nose first plant! Lol

I was gonna say that also, I went to PH 2.0s tho, they're pretty much standard now.

I didn't realize they were brushed motors, now I see power lose is possible on all 4 motors.

I've only put about 30 minutes runtime through the motors, and right after a perfectly fine flight all four motors had only about 15% power. I have a soldered connection to the motors, so I have a good connection.
