Guessing based on age you didn't grow up on analog TV but effectively quad is a weak analog tv station, trying different antenna is cheapest/fastest option, guess is that or the receiver makes most difference, that said aside from twitchy i think could totally fly through those blips. Make sure...

Digital is far better with regard to rejecting noise from the signal but if too much noise then just lose the video feed entirely for a few moments at a time so not impervious to it. Flying digital also introduces more noise to analog signals if you are near anything emitting in the 5.8Ghz band...

In vid above was flying angle mode so naturally much smoother I think with tiny guys especially but still can see analog has some blippies just learn to fly through on bigger quads can have more noise to deal with overall from more power drawn by esc etc. I've had good luck with capacitors...

There will always be some analog noise I think main thing is want to adjust your rates to dampen out the mid stick so things aren't so sensitive/twitchy when flying smoother/slower it's easier to track things even if video isn't ideal.

Yah if going tbs no need to look at the multi protocol or 4in1/5in1 if decide later to build something that uses the higher frequency/lower range radios then can get that module.

One day I will learn to fly these but been making planes. Salvaged escs and motors from quads that gave up the ghost so in that way it is on topic

Not sure what kind of soldering stuff you have either but suggest get some soldering iron tips if don't have a small collection they are pretty cheap and get a temp controlled iron TS100 is good portable one can power off lipos but weller or haako make good ones. Kester makes good solder get...

In general suggest get a tx with a module bay so can typically then just buy the module that corresponds to the receiver for tbs it is a different transmitter module because uses different protocol and frequency so antenna lengths are different. For frsky or flysky or spektrum there are "4 in...

Ah no worries I don't enforce laws just find ways to dodge them :D Good to know the police still aren't allowed to spy on your private property without a warrant from a judge (they can't be that hard to get there's been one out for me before... Don't worry they found me).

Would just suggest buy a few bags of cheap props too since most likely thing to replace right away when first learning to fly and land without damaging them (save those nice ones for later once you went through a couple cheap sets). Also would suggest get a couple more batteries, 2 is kinda...

Yah crash part is a bummer but diagnoses I like and good psa to tape up them bullet connectors

Also also if you can link the manual to the receiver it helps tons with debugging that and FC manual if possible or link to store purchase/banggood link or whatever. Also also also pic worth 1000 words show us wiring you'll need to resize to upload here still I think.

Also try not to get too frustrated receivers are always a pain it's partially why I've stuck with spektrum ones (do what you know works and happens to be what I started with because originally bought dx6i a couple years before all the openTX options rolled out)

Did you check 3 the configuration tab receiver protocol drop down as well? Only other thing I can think of related to receivers is inversion where the highs and lows are swapped when sending a digital signal, but I've not really had to deal with that myself, maybe @Dugdog47 or someone else on...

If no motion in receiver tab a couple possible issues: 1. Binding didn't work, try to use the bind button in the receiver tab (should be near the bottom) to try to get the receiver into binding mode and try to tell tx to bind again. 2. You may have not yet configured the receiver in the ports...

You'll need to grab betaflight configurator to see what's going on with receiver input and to check out the modes you can change into with switches from your tx etc. https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/releases/tag/10.7.0

From what I've heard the titanium or steel or ruby whatever hardened nozzles are better if using really abrasive material like glow in the dark or CF filled or other particle filled filaments (wood etc.). So if looking to mess with more than everyday petg or pla without additives then maybe...

Yah I was just thinking with tri blades might be less likely to have such a bad imbalance too since any little imperfections that are further out will cause more wobble plus with three blades just seems less likely to create a resonant frequency like that.

Yah mostly what I've seen is the smaller quad use the little screws to hold down the prop on either side of the motor shaft, but anything around 5" size uses the single nut on the threaded motor shaft to lock the prop on there (my tarot motors that are big for the hexabeast does have screws on...

Seems more likely all props swapped and pinning itself down, if just one swapped then usually does a death roll or some kind of flip out maneuver. Would try only right stick push pitch up down and roll left right see if it can get half its weight off the ground and is pushing in the "correct"...
