    Eachine Wizard, awesome or hype?

    It's not plug and play. The connectors for each camera are different. You will need to solder the wires included with the Runcam Swift to the PDB (+/-) and (S) to the VTX. or cut and splice with the existing 3 wires.

    Must Recalibrate GPS Each Time I Replace Battery in H501s

    That's normal, it's a safety feature of the drone before it will let you take off, not an issue with the gps. It's the calibration of the compass so the drone will fly correctly. I beleive you can add a text file to your SD card to adjust the date/time.

    Help with motor.

    They are called coreless or brushed motor. Measure the motor width and length, excluding the pin. If its 8.5mm wide and 20mm long , thats a 8520 motor. or 8.5 x 20 if its 7mm wide , and 20mm long , that's a 0720 motor. or 7.5 x 20...

    Sp racing not armimg. Betaflight 3.3. Devo 7E

    Glad it's finally working :) The 360 degree position doesnt matter, the front is the front, when calibrating as long as its on a flat surface it should be OK. If your quad hovers correctly, and the controls all do what they are supposed to do, then your good to go.

    Contixo F18 bad picture quality?

    Can you post a youtube example ? and an example of your own video footage ? Some people are attaching lightweight camera's like the Runcam 2 or Mobius. That would explain it. Second explanation would be the weather conditions on the day. If its gloomy and cloudy with low light the footage will...

    Sp racing not armimg. Betaflight 3.3. Devo 7E

    There is an arrow on the FC. but its tiny. The flight controller is facing backwards so take it off the mount and rotate 180 degrees, then remount it. or alternately go to the Configuration tab, in 'Board And Sensor Alignment' enter 180 in the Yaw Degree's box. And Save.

    Absurd DJI after-sales service

    You said you were travelling. How were you charging the battery ? Did you leave it a few days without it being used ? it will deplete over time. Always attach a float device to your quad when flying over water. Get the drone returned to you. Buy an ultrasonic cleaner and dismantle it. Clean...

    First build eventually

    Lose the connectors they are big and cumbersome and only add weight, and do nothing for the aerodynamics. Nobody is using those for motors. If you must use connectors, use smaller banana plugs instead. Most camera's and vtx's (except the Matek's) use JST-SH connectors which are plug and play...

    FPV range

    Have you fitted a Circular Polorized Cloverleaf antenna ? or are you using the small stock dipole antenna wire that comes fitted to the BFight ? If yes, that's likely to be the cause of poor signal. And depending where it's placed, the frame could be blocking it. I got terrible range on my...

    Improved Throttle.

    The best receivers in terms of range and reliabilty of the signal are the FS-ia6b and x6B. They use the IBUS protocol which is faster and gives you more channels and only requires a single wire to the FC. IBUS is easier to work with. The FS-ia6b receiver is the more versatile because it has pins...

    Power distribution boards

    Hi, Any power distribution board with a 5v out will work. Most FCs require 5v power. It's possible your current FC is powered from a BEC output from one of the ESC's in which case your PDB may not have any 5v pads, and is just a basic PDB for the ESC's. Get a PDB that is the same size as your...

    Propeller Stopped and Jammed

    Probably damaged the plastic gear teeth on the small cog or bigger gear and is causing it jam. They are replaceable https://www.aliexpress.com/item/JJRC-H37-H37mini-Elfie-RC-Drone-Quadcopter-Spare-Parts-Big-gear-motor-gear-8pcs-lot-also/32831655375.html

    Surprising what can be had for $52 these days

    If it doesn't say brushless in the description it will be almost certainly be brushed. You are unlikely to find a RTF brushless for £40. The cheapest i know of is the MJX Bugs 6 at £53 which is actually a pretty good deal. Brushless motors are on the outside of the case for cooling reasons...

    Confused About Flight Controllers

    Depends what quad you have. You can't just stick any flight controller in any quad. a custom racing/freestyle type of build can work with many FC's. Alot of them are very similar by design and share the same open source software. This category has the most FC's available. And they are the most...

    drone choice by battery

    The MJX Bugs 2 , 3 and 6 models use 2S batteries with a 25C rating. But they are 1800mah/1300mah in size. I think the Bugs 2 and 3 could lift the 4000mah battery but the Bugs 6 might struggle.

    Considering getting a quadcopter

    What models are you looking to buy ? Only quads with GPS will hold their position when you let go of the sticks. If the quad only has altitude hold, it will only hold it's height and will want to continue to drift in the direction of it's last stick input. Although some controllers have...
