Fellas, I have been thinking about when a person loses there drone. Why don't the manufactures put in a audible device say like a beep beep alarm that is activated by a button on your transmitter. You have an idea where your drone crashed but you cannot see it, just hit your alarm button it...

Fellas. I am thinking of getting a Chroma quad with a Spectrum DX4 tx. Horizon has it for $299.00 with free shipping. Question is the DX4 as good of a tx. as the Yuneece st10+ tx. and will the ST10+ work with the Chroma that already has the DX4 receiver installed in the Chroma. I know the...

Fellas, building a 600mm quad, new motors, esc's, kk2 board, wiring. Problem is, when first making sure motors all start at the same time, 3 of the 4 just sit there and kind of vibrate and hardly do nothing, while 1 works perfectly. This is my 5th quad build from a 380mm, 3-450mm and this...

Fellas, I have switched over from cc3d to kk2.1.5. Question is where or what cables do you use to go from the board to receiver. Where can I buy these cables. With cc3d they come with receiver cables but when I bought the kk2.1.5 board it does not come with cables only a buzzer. You would think...

Fellas, I have a Totem 380 quad with motors and esc's from a flying 3D X8 quad. I have Open Pilot board, Flysky TX and RX 2200mah lipo. Problem is, when programing the quad in open pilot, when it comes to arming the esc's they give out a melody then a steady beep, beep, beep. On my 450 quad the...

Fellas I have flying 3d x8 quadcopter. From the very start, it has not worked. I have watched every video, read the manual a dozen times and it has not flown off the ground not even once. The best it has done is spool up about half throttle and never has it lifted off the ground. Fully charged...

Fellas, a friend of mine has a new flying 3d x8 quad, he is having a problem getting it to arm and fly, I have read other forums on this quad and it seems, people are not happy with this bird. Firmware updates seem to not work, cracking of the plastic, etc. I am recommending sending it back to...

Fellas, I have 2 Imax B6AC clones. Problem with both is they both have lost there lipo function in the programing setup. Try and setup lipo in the charger it bypasses lipo and goes to either life, nimh, NiCad or pb. I have tried everything and cannot get the charger back on lipo. Is there a...

Found the problem, the cc3d open pilot board was mounted east, west instead of north, south. Got it right now and the quad flies great. Thanks for all the info. The Spudman

I finally found out what was wrong with the quad and it was a simple mistake of mounting the cc3d board in the proper orientation and the quad flies just fine. It was mounted east to west instead of north and south. A simple mistake that had me pulling my hair out, now it works great. Thanks for...

Once these settings are put into open pilot and saved they should be good to go. Another question, I have a Flysky f's-t6 tx, what settings do I program into my radio so it mates up with the open pilot settings. I tried to fly the quad and it still wants to flip over at takeoff. It has become...

Ok, now it gets interesting, it seems that to get your 450 quad to fly right you have to adjust your pid settings. Does anyone have a 450 quad running open pilot board and a Flysky f's-t6 tx, that has been successful flying it. What I need is (right on) pid settings for my quad. If your quad is...

Went to the quad shop today, drove 85 miles to get there, the guy who works on 450 quads, it was his day off, so no cigar

Yes I have and as soon as you get it to lift , it starts to (flip, turn over, tip) so I just back off the throttle and power down. I have been flying quads for a long time and I know what I am doing. Tomorrow I am going to a quadcopter model shop to see if we can figure it out.

I have done everything by the book, props are spinning in right direction, while holding it, tilted it in every direction and its trying to get level, props are blowing down, went back on open pilot and made sure of all the configurations, board is the center of quad and pointing forward...
