Hi there. I have just noticed that when I give my quadcopter full throttle with the battery plugged in, the 3d model in clean flight tilts forward very heavily. Is it because it's picking up interference from somewhere? If I place my quadcopter on a flat surface and watch the 3d model in...

Thank you :) I'm not the best at writing tutorials or any sort of long descriptive essays. I tried to make it as simple as possible so others could read it :) I am trying to find time so I can post screenshots of my cleanflight settings and images of the settings on my Dx6, just to assure...

Glad to hear I helped you out :) To me, your problem could be that your 3 position switch is set up wrong. In step 16 to 18, you set the % values of each position of the switch. If you set the elevator, technically you would be switching the elevator fully to -100%, 0% and 100%. Maybe you have...

Hi there. I am starting to have quite a but of fun with my quadcopter. I ain't having to much issues with the hardware on my quad, just had one 12a afro ESC fry on me but I think I got lucky. I am just wondering, would it be possible to run these emax 2204 motors on a 4cell battery? I know my...

Hi there. After searching around on how to set up a Dx6 with an Arm / Disarm switch and a 3 position switch with Horizon and Angle mode, I couldn't find much information. The instruction manual isn't the best at all and asking Dx6i owners isn't helpful either. Through out this tutorial, I am...

Thanks for that! Just an update on my situation. I got everything going! I plugged in my power pack to the receiver and plugged the lipo battery with ESC in at the same time. Bound straight away! Then I came across another issue. I never noticed in base flight that when I was giving it...

I have a DX5e that is currently in a "give up mode". It just gives off a constant beep with all the LEDs fully on. Tried numerous fixes I found online but nothing appears to fix it. Thats why I went and bought a DX6 with AR610 receiver. It would be kind of useless to ship an AR610 receiver with...

Hi there. I've not been having a lot of luck with any TX/RXs lately with my quadcopter. My first DX5e has just stopped working completely and my friends tunigy controller doesn't even want to bind to my quadcopter. I've taken the plunge and bought myself a brand new DX6. I followed the correct...

Just got time to try your suggestion. It didn't do anything, in fact it made my DX5e start up and have a continously long beep. I struggled to find anything online on how to fix this. My receiver lights don't come on as well. I have purchased a DX6 and I got someone to bind that up and they...

Thanks! I will try this tomorrow. I found the DX5e manual and there is a different way to bind it to a aircraft that uses ESCs. So I thought that could be the problem. I made a bind plug to rebind it but it wouldn't rebind. The receiver still works in the program though, so I assume It's still...

Thanks for that! I originally had it in a plane and flew it only a few times. Surely it doesn't need to be binded again? Would you happen to know how to arm the dx5e/ar600? I can't find anywhere online. I'm sure I have to pull the switch behind the trainer switch back, turn it on then release...

Hi there. I built my first quad using zmr250 frame, mt2204 motors, afro 12a ESCs and a naze32 board. I am having difficulties with my DX5e / AR600. I was exited when I got it all together, plugged in the battery and it all powered on! So of course, I switched on my receiver and nothing...

Thanks for that! I will go for a loom. Is there any recommended wire to use? We have loads in the garage and I wouldn't know what to use. I am using eMax MT2204 motors with the eMax 12a simonk ESCs.

Thanks for that! I've bought my motors from robotbirds since they are a lot cheaper than a UK seller on ebay. I will probably end up buying ESCs from hobbyking though. £9.50 per esc on ebay, £7 per esc on hobbyking. I was surprised how little there is online about shops. Perhaps you should...

Hi there. I have listed up all the parts I need to build a quadcopter. I've ordered my tools and other necessities but I'm struggling to decide where to buy the actual parts. Where do you buy parts? can you recommend any specific website or ebay sellers? Hobbyking is one of the shops I have in...
