I'd try to view raw accelerometer data and just isolate different parts by separating them from the accelerator.

They should wire into the FCB like an extra motor where PWM goes out to the ESCs. You'll probably have to set it up in cleanflight

Hahaha, when I first started I intentionally put two props on upside down because all I had were CW, and the CCW were a week or more out. needless to say they made a terrible racket and the quad barely made it off the ground. This was due to the flex of the upside-down props.

Make sure the ESCs, the motors an your PDB will support the 5S input as this will cause you problems that might cost money. The 5v is what your FCB (Naza) will require. You'd have to read the specs on your landing gear to know about them, however many servos are 5v. As far as the wiring...

Many ESCs have startup modes for example helis use slower or super slow startup modes, for quadcopters I suggest the fastest setting. This might be a different problem however.

Sorry I was in a hurry and reading it on the run so I only read to "When I power up whole mess ESC:s goes dead". First questino is are you sure that everything is connected correctly, like PWM for the ESCs is going into the PWM out on the FCB, and that the rx is connected.

Check battery voltage, also this is a long shot, but do you have a battery load tester?

I suggest you check out the Holybro Shuriken 180. I've got one that I'm doing a review on and it is awesome. It uses the flip 32 flight controller and many of the4 parts can be upgraded, though I'd suggest a mod to move the FPV antenna to the side, which actually would not even require...

That is a reasonable ammount of experience on a popular model. You can learn a lot in 2 months depending on how frequent your flights were. If you are going for a fast and fun build then I'd suggest some 30 amp ESCs, tri-blade 5x4.4 or two blade 6x4.5 DAL: props, a 4S battery either...

Well I'd first suggest that you sto[p replacing parts until you are at 95% sure that is the problem. I hear it is cheaper :P it sounds like you don't have the radio setup with the aux channel for the arming and switch or you have not set it up in cleanflight.

I think the runcam swift is going to be too heavy for your use. You're probably looking for something more along these lines: However I'd ask some like @Mike H. who already has a Syma regarding their MTOW capabilities. Though I think if you get this and perhaps a mobius keychain...

Trims alone won't stabilize without a flight controller. I've never really known a hobby grade quad to need trims anywhere but center as the FCB handles all of that. If you don't understand I can give you blackbox data to show you just how much the flight controller really does just to hover.

Make sure your stuff is on the same band. Is any of it 32 channel?

Not to add to the many different things you've been suggested and confusion but I'd suggest BLheli if you already have the tools to flash. It is a lot smother than simeon K and really helps flight characteristics. If you put the quad in accro, or stabilize mode (just normal flight wihtout...

It is worth mentioning that you can do this as a sort of hobby like a home garden would be. As long as you're not making much money you would not be heavily taxed like most for profit buisnesses might. Not really worth doing it 'under the table', unless you were making a lot more money, and...

There are some PWM activated lights and switches that could even run off the quad's own voltage, or if you were stuck with something like CPPM or serial, or even PWM you could use an arduino to do the switching based on whatever parameters you can immagine like a switch or armed status. If you...

Hahaha, yeah I always solder on e at a time and hear shrink so that I never have two exposed. Though melting through the heatshrink could become a problem on the second one hahaha

I've never thought of that, but THAT would be pretty scary, did the solder crystalize and splash the moment it made contact, or did it dead short until something else burned?

Glad it could help. I've repaired several lipos since, with various problems so I might try to expand on this a bit. Also if you have any tips or tricks for LiPos be sure to make your own thread and I'll include it.

I'd move my RF equipment around and try to get better placement.
