What kind of quad will this be? Just a basic trainer? Will you land it flat or plan to have some sort of landing gear/skid? Will you need wire/connectors to route power from the distribution board to the ESCs to the motors? No FPV? Do you have motor mounts? How are you going to mount the F.C. to...

Okay guys, it is fixed and working! And the receiver is getting power from the throttle servo connection. But it was a hassle getting things connected as there were no markings on the receiver as to how to plug in the servo connections. The manual gave no clue and I could not find any help...

I just tried it out - using an ESC with a BEC, I plugged the command line to the throttle port but no joy. No perceived power to the receiver. I then plugged the ESC command line to the Power port and success! I was able to successfully bind to my transmitter, and when I toggled the gear switch...

Thanks all! I will try out using the throttle as well as the power ports to see which gives me good results.

I bought an AR8010T receiver for my Tarot 650 Sport q1uadcopter because I needed 7 channels - 4 for flight controls, 1 for selecting flight modes, 1 for camera gimbal tilt controls and 1 for landing gear control (retractable landing gear). The problem I've had with it is I can't seem to get it...

Feb 11 update: It's been awhile since I posted anything as I was waiting for 14 awg wire which I ordered from Amazon - took forever to arrive from China and I realized that I didn't order enough, DOH!!! So I've ordered some more from Walmart, as the supplier I bought from is now out of stock...

Haven't done this. Will probably do so this weekend - I think I can salvage two of the motors. Will report back on what I find, if anything.

What wasn't shown is that the aircraft hit the house - the collision caused the motor, prop separation. The aircraft was intact prior to that.

I wish I knew what happened. Air was calm or possibly a light breeze above the houses.. Perhaps, when take it apart I might find something. Before I fly the Tarot Sport copter, I will go through the accelerometer calibration again...

I had modified this aircraft extensively over time - the latest mods were the addition of MN3420 T-Motors a voltage/current sensor and use of a 6S lipo. After completing the software configurations in Mission Planner, I took it out for a test flight - initial flight went well. Elated at the...

The short answer is there is very little you can do to smooth out your video without some processing and even then it will be limited. The solution is to try to eliminate the source in the first place. You might want to give us more detail concerning the choppy/jerkiness... Is your camera on a...

Yes, it is worthwhile to edit your videos if you plan to share them on YouTube or other social media. I use Moviemaker as well as Movavi Video Suite (if I want to have video in video - for example show Mission Planner aircraft instruments as well as the video from the aircraft. I also use iMovie...

Yes you are correct - I had too many shots that were too long. I will use your advice in future efforts - thanks! I Really appreciate suggestions like yours!

Status 1/21 So, last night before going to sleep it occurred to me that I need to solder some bullet connectors to a couple of the Tarot motors I plan to use. Afterwards, I can test them out. Here are the motors I picked out of the pile: To test each motor, I pulg it into an ESC, connect the...

Uh, you are right. Funny, I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I will have to plug it into Mission Planner and look at the artificial horizon and see what's up. Thanks for pointing that out!

I shot this some time ago and lost the video only to discover that I had uploaded it onto YouTube and marked it "Private" - DOH!! Anyway, here it is:

I shot this using a Tarot 650 Sport outfitted with a Feiy Tech Mini 3 Axis gimble/GoPro camera.

Absolutely Gyro doctor! This was a problem with the Elev-8 kit - it was a pain if you wanted to replace motors. I plan to have enough slack so that I can easily change out motors if I have to. Just waiting on the wire to arrive so I can continue. I need to double/triple check solder connections...

Update - 10 Jan... It has been awhile but finally have some progress to report. The ESC's I ordered arrived from Amazon: I finished soldering bullet connectors and applying heat shrink. I had agonized as to where I would install the ESCs - underneath the motors or in the center chassis as...
