... "It's a bird!"... "It's a plane!"... "It's a frog!"... "A frog?!" ... "No, it's a quad! ... SHOOT IT !" :eek: Age test in there ... lol ... if you recognize the first parts of that you watched Saturday morning cartoons around the same times I did. ;)

:rolleyes: ... Lotsa real estate on THAT bird ! ... :p

These "toy grade" quads typically use a single MOSFET per motor and they (plus their accompanying diode) get blown easily when stressing the motors (been there, done that). The good news is that you can buy them for pocket change and repair the board yourself rather than replacing the whole...

I respectfully disagree, I'd be drilling the bejeebers outta those landing gear ! o_O Remember the goal here is to remove low slung mass to compensate for the low slung mass being added. I would skeletonize those legs to near death if I was you. The holes you've put in them so far likely did...

The iMAX B6AC is exactly what I was going by. But it's just the charger and a parallel charging board is a seperate item. The plain B6 requires a battery or hefty power supply to charge things in the house and is primarily for field use, it's also limited to a 5A output. If you want the...

Getting a parallel charging board is another investment you do NOT want to skimp on. I'm generally against charging batteries this way (unless well experienced), but with a good board (DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT JUST USING A HARNESS) and knowing what you're doing it CAN be done safely and...

o_O ... Are you meaning to say that now even the "knock offs" are sporting the holographic QC stickers ? It used to be that sticker was the best way to know if it was "the real McCoy".

A lot faster and more safely than the simple "wall wart" type chargers that typically come with such kits or some other cheap chargers, yes.

Go ahead and just "Bite the bullet" for this item, trust me, you WANT a good quality charger. The difference in cost (vs a cheaper one) will be more than made up for by the increased longevity of your battery packs. ;)

:rolleyes: ... If it's a real iMAX the QC sticker on the belly side will be holographic (changes color with different light angles). I have the B6AC and absolutely LOVE it :) It does all ALL my LiPo, NiMh, and SLA batteries perfectly. Having the ability to plug it into a wall socket as well as...

It gets plugged into the RX at any (PPM) channel position corresponding to whatever switch you have assigned on the radio. For example, if you set up a switch on the radio for channel 6 you'd plug it into the position for channel six on the RX . That way if your quad gets lost you flip the...

LOOOKIN GOOOD :) I want one too !

Not really, you'd hafta disassemble the motor to do it and be very careful not to damage the bearings in the process. Then you could carefully cut off the heat shrink that covers the heavier wires where they go into the motor and look for a break there .... Otherwise it's a break in the smaller...

:rolleyes: ... What "Cowboy" (Jackson) is attempting to discern is whether the malfunction is attributable to some physical stresses, rather than an electrical issue. I'm inclined to agree with him that it's something physically happening because I've watched a video of those same motors and...

Been looking at the Cerberus V2 5" Stretched X racer. :) I like it, not as much as the V3 though, but at $75 for just a frame that's pretty pricey. :confused:

All I could find on it was the original firmware is blheli_S for the BB2 chipset. That may have been a "one of" firmware that came with it and that you need depending on what it's innards are configured like, but the odds are you can still find working firmware through trial and error by just...

I just read it and you're right. Seems odd to me that CCD is often touted as better than CMOS (lower latency, less subject to vibrations, faster environmental reactions, etc) at least in reviews I've seen (thanks Bruce and Josh ... lol ... ) yet Oscar seems to disagree .

That IS nice ! But the 50mW kills it for me. :( "More power Scotty !" ... "I canno captn the dilithium crystals are fracturing !" ... "Dammit man I need MORE POWER !" :p

Like THIS guy ... lol ... (me) :D

:eek: ... I'm LOVING everything about this build ! :) That flight stack is a great find, an F4 and D-Shot with 40 amps is just the ticket. The frame not only looks good, but also the fit and finish appears to be top-tier. A 4-gram 600mW VTX is something I've never even seen before. Those hand...
