Im looking for any advice before I start my first build. Im using an All Carbon RC stretched x coyote frame. The FC,PDB and VTX are the TBS Elite stack. The motors I am running are Cobra 2204/1960. Ive just ordered E-Max 20A ESCs that should be here Fri/Sat. Since this is my first ground up...

Since its an immersion FC, the battery has to stay plugged into the quad in order for Cleanflight to recognize it. Most videos Ive seen are all using the NAZE FC, which can be powered by a standard USB cable. On the bright side...Cleanflight says that my ESCs are all calibrated right but one of...

Finally got cleanflight to recognize my quad,but when I unplug the battery to calibrate the escs it kicks me off. Any idea why that's happening?

Is there anything special I need to do to get Cleanflight to recognize my quad. Every time I plug it in all I get is a screen for firmware flash. How do I access the motor/esc tabs?

OK.....finally got quad to take the reflash. Had to take whole thing apart and investigate. I noticed a wire that was almost coming off of a solder pad. Resoldered and the firmware flash took. Now the problem seems to be in the endpoints or the way my Taranis is set up. Throttle imput never...

Yes but like I said....computer idiot here. lol. I'm not sure how to download the new firmware. I was under the impression that if I plugged in the quad everything would just "happen" automatically. so now all the quad does is beep when the battery is connected. if I'm not mistaken I think I...

Since my quad is used, and Ive done some mods ( aluminum parts, motor replacement) its not flying right. The replaced motor works well but the quad has some wierd flight characteristics now. I tried flashing new firmware and have just messed the whole process up....now quad only beeps when...

I have several nitro buggies, a nitro boat and several small easy to fly helis. Im interested in racing and expanding the hobby in my area. As of now we have no shops that cater to the drone community. I'm also interested in the photography aspect of drones and can see the potential for...

Hey everyone....sorry my first post was for mechanical issues. I'm new to the quad scene....but not the RC scene. I have several nitro models. A friend of mine who just happens to be a professional drone pilot got me into this hobby....so glad he did. Minor hiccups along the way but such is...

OK.....finally got my goggles in and did the tx set up wizard how it was supposed to be done. Put my goggles on and tried to fly....quad still acts up and seems to not be getting any power to the left side (quad facing away) until I give it a little bit of yaw....then it takes off for about a...

Since we live in a 3 dimensional world I believe you would not be able to control but 2 dimensions with a laser. You could point the laser to a destination in the sky and the quad would fly there on the X and Y axis. The Z axis or depth axis would be harder to control. You might be able to...

Thanx Reno....gotta get my puter some new software.

Didn't work. Oh well. Quad spools up nicely and throttles up OK....but at half throttle if I push to yaw, even a little bit...it really comes alive. Could be an endpoint problem, wrong calibration or escs are just going bad. Not really sure. Like I said.....REALLY NEW at this.lol

Don't have a computer to recalibrate the escs either. lol. I guess I'm just screwed till my buddy can look at it. he's a professional drone pilot for an inspection company and on a 30 day rotation. he's the one who got me into this hobby and I've been cursing him ever since. lol. but in a good...
