I was NOT using self level. Some one else I know, also pointed that out. Anyway, thanks for the pointers. In the meantime I had returned the FC board and ordered a newer version of the HK 2.1 . This one comes with 1.6v of the FW and with a hard case. I just received it yesterday so I will put...

Thanks man! I had already done most of what you have listed but I will go back and do it one more time. Trims are zeroed out , ESC's are all calibrated all the same and sensors all come back OK. It may not be obvious from the picture but the board is mounted even too. FW version as displayed...

Thanks man. Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying about the props. Here is close up again: This motor is turning Clockwise. Is that not right? Also front two props turn towards each other and rear two props turn away from each other. I did your gyro test. And there might be...

Hi guys, I am relatively new to the world of quadcopters and I have never flown one either. I just finished building my first quad. I decided to go with a combination of X580 frame and KK2.1 board (v1.6 firmware) from Hobby king. My motors are 800Kv supplied by Turnigy plush 25 amp ESC's. The...

Thanks mate! This spreadsheet is great. I just put my data in and got the results! So comprehensive. Best part is that you can look at the formulas and tweak them if you wish. wish I had this before I ordered the battery. Oh well, I'll just have to get a different battery.

BTW guys, what online thrust calculator are you guys using: I was using this one: http://personal.osi.hu/fuzesisz/strc_eng/ but I always wonder if this if this was for a 'Quadcopter'. It doesn't say that anywhere on the page.

here is a picture of my set up. Can't wait to get her up in the air:

Thanks guys. It is 2830-800kv motors. I finally got response back from the HobbyKink support and my suspicion was right. It is not the motors/prop combination. It is the battery that is my problem. I was using a 3s battery that gives me only 11.1v total. Which is equivalent to 8880 rpm max...

Hi, It looks very cool. Would you mind sharing specs on your motors/props and the battery? I have just finished building a very similar platfrom on X580 frame with KK2.1 board from HobbyKing. However, I am having trouble getting it to take off from the ground. Motors spin fine, I have double...
