With little notice rules re proximity to airports etc changed + other items for larger heavier units

No specialist but I doubt you can carry a goPro with under $100 unit- although prices seem to be coming down I would suggest for a starter unit to learn the ropes that you consider a unit with a recording camera as initial crashes can be tough on these units If your 1'st quad suggest one with...

Banggood was great for me when I smoked a charger with reverse input voltage off a battery

Managed flights & all WAS good till Iput her in the lake Was in fo r about 30 seconds & still synched so pulled the power & dried out over night Tried today inside & looks good but too indy to fly

I remember a major variable speed drive company selling me a $75 cable (nowdays~ $200) with 24 pin terminations to deliver data to a pc . Checked the pin outs & found only 2 wires connected end to end We made our own cables after that for about $10 Same BS is carrying on expensive HDMI...

Looking good With assist from Banggood forum I established that booms & motors had to be switched side for side for this board. P***g rain so can only test inside but looks good with no trims

Old board stopped delivering to one motor so new board installed & situation as follows Front left rotation CCW Front right CW Rear left CW Rear right CCW All start effectively with same throttle All props are in lift rotation but copter wants to rotate uncontrollably . Are rotations OK?-...

Has anyone tried this?

I think you should package it up & ship to me! Nice find! - will be fun As a newbie I cannot help much but can you supply information on the board in the middle of the unit. It will establish what you need for a transmitter which others can ID Where was it found - someone would love it get it...

Neutralizing trim did not help To test motor I moved left rear to right front its still slow on left rear I am thinking the board is Ok but the transmitter is delivering wrong voltage to this motor tried a digital voltmeter on the board pins while throttled up & no trim. Voltages very...

If a 12 volt supply is connected to charger backwards they smoke very quickly - from experience! My unit has output jack colours backwards but the charger recognizes if connected backwards on output. Production error!

Will try today Maybe not allowing enough time for gyros to settle? will report Thanks

Maybe more of a transmitter problem ? When I try to trim rudder -left while running Forward left & right rear will stop turning . Any trim change at all gives big change in all prop speeds while careful to not change throttle If I open up are there potentiometers that can be cleaned?
