......were much cooler when everything was experimental, I guess no one is really building racing kwads like they used to but here is an old design I built that uses slanted arms that holds the motors in forward angle. I call her "Ole Slanty" lol.

Yikes and that's with 2 blade props while I was planning on using 3 blade props. Might put this build on hold until I find some lower kv motors. (I only buy components that are cheap, on sale low cost.) Unfortunately my low kv motors are somewhere in the woods after I forgot to take a vtx off...

Thanks that's what I was looking for.

The plan is to solder it all together and then throttle it down in cleanflight because those motors are way too high kv for an 8 inch. The question is @wafflejock do you think throttling down to 40-50% in the firmware will make these motors and escs work in an 8 inch frame with 7 inch props?

for building all these quadcopters? So anyway got an 8 inch frame with 7 inch props but the deal is.............the motors are intended for a 5 inch lol. Well anyone who has seen my threads here will know that ain't gonna stop me from trying. Emax race spec motors, 2205 2600kv 30 amp emax...

I've ran kerosene and propane heaters indoors many times just have to either open a window or set up a simple exhaust, either way you can only run them for a few minutes at a time. Not ideal but better than freezing your nuts off lol

This video is from 10 years ago. Does this system still exist?

I probably posted this video before but what the hell here is my flying this kwad last summer, right before it broke down and I took a break from flying for a while (I also lost another kwad lol):

0-100 in a split second lol no lie, I actually throttled down the max speed in betaflight to 75%, still managed to blow an esc but for $5 those escs lasted for 100 flights or so. Guess I got my monies worth lol!

Welcome if you love quadcopters you're in the right place!

Hard to believe this was 3 years ago lol I just replaced a esc and motor on this kwad and she's flying again!

I'm looking for a cheap fpv controller too unfortunately my favorite online store stopped selling the f3 boards for $7 so cheap building is no longer an option.

Kinda late but happy new year!

If no one broke it there wouldn't be a rule about it lol!

What brand esc? I've tried those cheap escs that come covered in yellow shrink wrap and it'd been hit and miss.

Your Graupner MX-12+GR-12 HoTT 2,4GHz is vintage, probably won't work with a modern flight controller although you could ask the manufacturer. I highly recommend the radiomaster but get the one with a 4in1 multi-protocol internal module and get the tbs xfire external module and receiver...

No it absolutely will not work, tbs and elrs are not compatible.

I'm. no expert but the layman's answer is rx and tx are different from telemetry because the two might cross while simultaneously transmitting and receiving at the same time. You need two different signals. 915mhz gets better penetration though objects for long range and freestyle plus shorter...
