Noticed there are no replies, hows it going with you now? Been wanting to get started, but my current position won't allow me a second job until a little down the road, so I can't take any actions that my leadership might see as moving toward another source of income. @ringolong @Long Range RC

Generally when we are referring to ground on a DC circuit the neutral is tied to the ground at some point. Under nominal operating conditions the Neutral will be carrying current on a DC or even AC circuit, and the ground will not. Ground is usually just there for safety reasons, and less...

Hey, sorry about he link, do to a big increase in spam we (by we I mean Mike did 100% of the work :P) implemented a new feature to limit it. You should be able to post links after your next post. Not familiar with this model, but it is common for the flashing lights to mean low battery...

Hey, here in Lompoc, CA not too far from Nevada. I'll take a look, welcome to the forum.

If those are the parts you wish to use then I'd take a look at https://quadcopterframe.com/ they should have a comparable frame and comparable ESCs, though I might suggest you reflash to BLheli as a personal choice. The site is seling off stock that it never sold, and the shipping will almost...

Being as you are using multiwii you should be able to just change the max_angle_inclination variable to be more restrictive as a hard limit, this would limit verticle speed a lot more. Then you could change the stick range, rates and expo to better tune it for your radio and skill level...

If you use cleanflight you can set limits on the roll and pitch axis, and then even add a varible switch to adjust that limit in flight. To learn to fly I'd suggest getting a smaller toy grade copter to learn on as it is much cheaper if you crash and is less likely to injure someone if you...

Also you may wish to consider flight times, the higher KV motors are a lot less efficent, and if overloaded would be lucky to get 3 minutes of flight time from a lighter battery required. A higher KV set that is overloaded won't be near as manuverable as a lower KV setup that is handling it's...

I agree that it is not really too much overkill, especially if you are a tinker who likes to add capabilities and functions. Here is an example build: The empty spots are the equivalent of the switch being off. 1 Ailerons (Roll) 2 Rudder (Yaw) 3 Throttle 4 Elevator (Pitch) 5 Empty / Arm 6...

Hahahahaha, two very expensive "hobbies". I'd certainly like to see more heli post, it is certainly a great hobby. Really enjoy hearing those fly too, the sound is a lot more realistic than I would have thought, then they have some pretty cool flight characteristics.

Can you try to view how that reciever is percieved in the other quad's inputs and to see if it is in the radio or reciever? It could be in just the FCB, which would likely be as simple as changing the settings or even importing from the other quad as a latter resort.

I'd Check all of the settings reguarding the sticks and reciever? Some things I'd check Stick settings in radio expo, limits, scaling, and exc. stick settings like expo in cleanflight reciever type in cleanflight is the reciever bound properly with the propper protocol to the radio? have you...

This is one of those grey areas where "could" and "should" differ. This is one of the reasons I like having all CCW motors with normal right-hand thread. As long as you use nylocks and tighten them a reasonable ammount they don't come off. They are a lot cheaper to replace and then you...

"Walking the dog" is a common exerciese for new pilots which pretty much involves following your quad while you fly. I suppose it might help with this hahahaha

You could have loaded a custom motor configuration and reversed the throttle authority for each if you did decide to reverse the direction of the motors, however I'd suggest against this because The current configuration is standard, even though the other would have flown just fine; it would...

Exactly hahaha, however rather than a rattlesnake this was a chipmunk :p They probably had no other way, or knew of no other way to react in a timely manner so I certainly see the rationale.

A blue will do prety well, if you are flying higher in LOS about any sky like color will get lost really quickly. Just curious, what is the end-goal for this? The overall goal might change the correct answer hahahaha

There are DoD civillian companies designing defence systems for smaller UAVs, but currently there is no contract to produce them. Sadly with this the DoD's acqusitions things like this take a lot of time, usually years to get a fully mission capable system. Until then I suppose the military...

So what was the solution?

Linking to other forums is jsut fine as far as I know, if not I am very guilty of it hahaha
