    Weak Motor?

    What kind of motor? Flight control board? I had a Chinese clone of an omnibus f4 board start doing this and I thought it was the cheap racer star motors, but then the board started smoking and then it stopped working all together. I replaced the board but kept the motors and the quad still flies...

    Drones vs Birds

    Some geese in a field didn't mind my quad at all, hummingbirds will buzz along with my tinywhoop, hawks get close but I've yet to have one attack, buzzards seem to come in for a closer look. I think most birds don't mind as long as you don't get too close to their nest.

    Spectrum V2 goggles diversity module breakup

    My fatshark battery has a mini usb port on it for charging, just noticed it the other day lol, check on the back and see if yours has it. Motor noise I made some changes too and ordered a new vtx, the eachine 802. It is different than the 801s, thought it might be worth a try. Out of 7 quads...

    Spectrum V2 goggles diversity module breakup

    I use those goggles with 3 different eachine 801s lol. However my focals still have the original stock module and here is my report. The goggles work great with every quad I own and that's flying 200-300+meters. However one quad is doing similar to what you describe and I'm thinking it's motor...

    X220 binds but won’t arm

    I looked at my wizard just to be sure and actually, mine is plugged into the back, but I'm using Ibus, yours will be using Sbus so it might be different. The answer is here somewhere though I guarantee it.

    X220 binds but won’t arm

    Sup bro still ain't done the update on my eachine flysky clone I keep forgetting to order the usb cable lol. As for the O.P. who is having trouble, the answer is here, you just need to do what is shown in the diagram I posted and click the correct drop down in the configuration tab in...

    X220 binds but won’t arm

    I'm fairly new at this too but it just so happens I'm doing research on the naze f3 board for a future build so here is what I recommend. First, make sure your board looks like this: Second, make sure your receiver uses the sbus/PPM signal. If one and two check out, your receiver plugs into...

    X220 binds but won’t arm

    That's not true at all. The wizard x220 uses the naze F3 board which is compatible with the dX9 spectrum receiver.

    X220 binds but won’t arm

    I've told at least one person on facebook that the calibration is probably the issue, but it's one of those things you need to figure out how to do it safely. There are you tube videos explaining the calibration process better than I can here lol. Do the "motor tabs" calibration in betaflight.

    X220 binds but won’t arm

    Usually it is the esc calibration in betaflight that causes this issue, but since the calibration itself presents some danger no one wants to announce the procedure on the internet.

    My x220 does a spin when I try to fly it

    Alex ready to fly means it'll fly after some cussing, almost ready to fly means it'll fly after more cussing lol. The R.C. airfield near me had a regular meet in the summer although I never made it to one. Check and see if there's an R.C. airfield near you and check out the bulletin boards.

    Merry Christmas All!

    A little early but what the hey I'm full of Christmas cheer. Who else here bought themselves a complete drone kit, put it in a box, and gave it to your wife to wrap it up with the promise you'll act surprised on Christmas morning? Now I just need to find the perfect gift for her lol. Hmmm...

    Keeping it real

    Just trying to get a grip on basic maneuvers and having a blast doing it!

    betaflight help!

    The fight controller that came installed in my wizard will lock you out if you choose the wrong uart, I believe they call it "bricked". The ONLY way to regain communications was to short the bootloader pins and flash the firmware. I must've done this 10 times or so before I finally got it...

    MOBULA7 SPEED RUN - FAST 2S WHOOP

    This seems to be the whoop to get this year since it goes so fast lol, awesome but I went to order it with the flysky receiver and it's on backorder. Anyone know where to get this little speed demon?

    Unconventional motor use question

    I can give advice on the first question, running a motor that hard will put a strain on the esc that controls it, make sure your using some escs with a much higher amperage than your motors are drawing.

    Planning A New Build

    Bummer man sorry your quad didn't fly, I still think it was the 30 amp escs you're using aren't beefy enough for those motors. Don't feel too bad we all have sheet happen, I just fried my xrotor f4 board hooking up leds lights. A $40 mistake that I'll learn from, if the leds don't work, don't...
