You're probably right, but I can't say for sure since I only have the gamer perspective.

Update on the (supposed) poor performance. After watching some more videos and flying 10 packs today, I think I've determined that the problem with the dropping to the ground turns out to be 95% the dummy controlling the sticks. Well, sort of. For background, previous to the Tiny6, my only real...

Welcome.

Gotcha - very similar here - except for the flight test.

Nice! Had a good laugh with all the crashes and perfect ending in the tree. Is Mrs. Torc (sorry if I'm assuming) filming you or texting snarky comments to her friends? LOL, because you can be sure Mrs. Spork would definitely be doing the latter - along with laughing when I crashed.

Haha. Nice, my friend that got me into shooting had a huge gun collection and was also a reloader. When we went to the range, I'm sure people thought he was an arms dealer, but we had a lot of fun shooting all sorts of things. I never got into reloading, but it was fascinating learning and...

I didn't read it all, but I liked how they tied the license test to a practical flying test. If drone popularity continues I think the laws will eventually evolve to require something like a drivers license.

For probably the first week, you will have plenty to keep you busy just learning to fly in the sim. It was not rocket surgery, but it was definitely harder than I imagined it would be. Now, it's pretty easy. The hard part for me now, is being accurate enough to hit small gates/gaps and learning...

Indeed. I don't shoot anymore, but in my 20's and 30's my friends and I were partially responsible for driving up the price of 9mm ammo. Good times.

Um, why yes, it is almost 3am. LOL. Good news and bad news - reflashed the FC (easiest way I knew to undo everything). Reset everything to stock. It flies much better now, however it is still doing the whole dropping to the ground every 10-15 seconds. Very annoying, but at least I'm getting...

So the new baby arrived today. Mrs. Spork wouldn't let me open the box until our chore list was done because she knew exactly what would happen. It was a long and sordid affair getting the thing flying. I spent about 30 minutes figuring out how to bind it and then another hour and a half trying...

I think those run on 1S, so you should be getting a number between 3.XX and 4.XX - or 4.2 for fully charged, like Jackson said. If you are getting 11.7, something is wrong. Maybe post a picture of where you are touching the battery terminals along with your multimeter? Here's a pic of me...

No hands-on knowledge, but I've seen lots of build videos where people rotate the FC for that reason and just adjust things in BetaFlight. Here's a quick video on fixing it up in BF:

I don't know anything about MultiWii, but I know a bit about arduino and a bit more about software. Have your tried taking the original code (that I assume you downloaded from somewhere) and tried things out? I don't know the code so not sure if that is possible, but my diagnostic strategy would...

LOS means Line Of Sight as opposed to FPV being First Person View.

Looking good so far Roger!

LOL only 14?

That sure sounds like something is grinding. Far from an expert here, but the two things that come to mind are the motor attachment screws may be a touch too long or the stator is touching the bell. Try backing the screws off some and see if things improve. If so, buy some shorter screws...

Sounds like you have the same wind provider as I do. :) I remember you lost a quad recently, but don't remember you replacing it. What did you end up getting?

Mine is indoor only. Yeah hawks do not mess around. Not only do we have hawks and other large birds, but we also have packs of coyotes and many sad neighbors with missing small pets. Once, I tied one of his toys to a string and flew it around the house. After he got over his fear of the noise...
