    My first build, with a few questions.

    Well figured out what my issue was. The power distribution board had a open trace and a short. Got everything put together and did a small test flight in the backyard. when I ease in the throttle it looks like she is going to tip over but if a bump it she gets airborn but doesn't remain...

    My first build, with a few questions.

    Going to solder a switch in for the battery. The t connecters are really tight and a pain to remove when things are exploding. Im not going to solder a switch to the copter, just going to create a harness I can use until I know im not going to blow any more esc's. I ended up just ordering the t...

    My first build, with a few questions.

    Since I'm having problems with my esc's the source of the problem is either the motors or esc's. Correct? If it was something before the esc's I would have a different issue like burnt wires? If its the motors would the warranty still cover it even though I had to shorted the wires coming off...

    My first build, with a few questions.

    I ordered 4 armattan 30a esc's hopefully they will not short out if they do I'll order some t motor esc's. Is 30a enough?

    My first build, with a few questions.

    They were 30amp esc's. One didn't work at all while the other 3 worked fine on the 3s. But as soon as I hooked up the 4s another ESC fried. I'm scared that all my electronics and motors are going to fry. Hopefully I can find someone experienced locally that can take a look before I burn through...

    My first build, with a few questions.

    Spent most of the day working on my quadcopter. Got it fully assembled and started with the ESC calibration. All went good I thought until I raised the throttle and one motor wouldn't spin. Checked all the connections and they were correct. Pulled off the factory heat shrink and it smells...

    My first build, with a few questions.

    Just tested the new osd with the pigtail that goes into the telemetry and I get and overlay. Just no power to the camera. Which is an easy fix. Also messed around with mission planner and can't get pass updating firmware. It fails verification. It could be my computer I'm using windows 10

    My first build, with a few questions.

    Got the lower frame wired up. Just have to extend the servo leads I have for the receiver to reach the flight controller. Nice spot for the battery. have to do a little grinding to the motor cases before I can mount them. Old vs New. I really like the new ones, but I got 4 of the old...

    My first build, with a few questions.

    Ill probably will later if I cant get the replacement board working. I should have everything today. I still have so much to do. have to mount the motors and esc's, balance and mount props, extend the servo leads so the receiver can reach the flight controller, figure out how to mount the...

    My first build, with a few questions.

    props, motors, battery and replacement OSD will be here today and im off tomorrow so hopefully I can get everything hooked up and installed. I messed with the minimosd a bit yesterday. It doesn't seem fried I can flash the firmware on it and change the layout with the utility. When I hook it up...

    My first build, with a few questions.

    yeah the props are pretty cheap ill order some larger ones after the first test flight but I think the 12" will do fine. The craft is still pretty light, but that will probably change ones I add the motors and battery.

    My first build, with a few questions.

    I ordered four T-motor 650kv motors 12x4.5 carbon fiber props and a Venom 25C 4S 5000mAh 14.8 LiPO Battery. I also ordered a new OSD but found one last check I can do befire I trash my old one.

    My first build, with a few questions.

    Well got most of the electronics wired and installed and I think I blew up my osd. Had the connectors for the fpv backwards. Swapped it soon as I a found out but already had power to it. The fpv system works with out the minimosd. But no video with it. Could it be a setting in the flight...

    My first build, with a few questions.

    Good idea mounting the telemetery up top and fatshark below. I dont really need to upgrade the antennas yet as i wont do any longer range flying for a while, so the ones i have now will work well for me. Whats the best way to mount the electronics that dont have screw wholes? double sided tape...
