Let's see some Christmas Kwads!

Someone's been drinking eggnog lol!

A few days early but:

I think there is a way to switch your transmitter from 100mw to 250mw

The first thing I would try is flashing the firmware. If this doesn't work it could be something like a 5 volt regulator on the board might have fried.

Try emuflight if bf isn't doing it for ya. It makes for a very smooth flying kwad.

How close is your radio to the receiver when it drops? I have found that if the radio is too close to the kwad they become disconnected. This is because the signal is strong enough for a couple hundred meters and if they're too close the receiver can't "hear" the transmitter correctly. Think of...

The bare wire is for the frsky receiver, the insulated wire is for the video transmitter.

Why didn't it work?

Disclaimer: I've never used ardupilot but it's worth a try. Try adjusting the min/max motor speeds. If they're on 1000, try 900 or 2000 try 1900. Or If there's a way to go into cli you could set max throttle to 85%. I've had luck making minor adjustments like these lol.

They're both junk. Build your own if you want a really good kwad, there is no other way.

I was thinking about doing something similar by just running coax from a ground station inside the house to an antenna outside.

I'm kinda surprised I haven't sliced my face off yet that is no joke. Don't worry though the reconstructed surgeons can glue part of your ass to your face in a worse case scenario but who wants that lol?

Don't fly around people, have fun and post some videos here, we love videos!

It depends on what protocol the receiver uses. You can't use flysky with futaba and vice versa. You should look into the jumper T16 transmitter, it has a 4 in 1 multi protocol module that will theoretically work with many different protocols.

No. You absolutely have to have a Windows 10 or similar computer lol, I tried with a chromeboom and was able to fly many kwads but in the end you realize your limits. You need a computer.

I don't think anyone here used that protocol. I was wanting to try it though

Cool pics we love those here! I didn't see lights on the vtx. Are you sure it's getting power?

Doesn't look like a problem

Yeah that battery is way too big. I recommend a 1300-1500 for 5" kwads. Race Day Quads.com sells some excellent brands and I can usually find 3 or 4s sizes as I use both. Try the cnhl or the rdq brands. Very solid batts.
