    Wltoys V686g Problem

    If the props are indeed correct and the motor is correctly installed then you most likely have a bad gyro on the main board and will need to replace the board to correct the problem....There is nothing else that could cause that issue as long as the props are correct and motors are wired correctly.

    Not all...just liking it in general...I always wait for long term results before deciding on a new model to try.

    Two Questions, Syma X5 - batteries and camera

    Drop weight of the x5c and you can get close to 10 minutes with the stock syma battery...I bought 3 cheap no name 500mah 25c batteries for less than $2 each and get about 10 minutes out of them as well...This is what ive done with my x5...

    JYU HornetS Racing Qaudcopter FPV Version

    .YES it will hurt of it hits you and you would be lucky not to end up in the ER with serious injuries to yourself or someone else. You would have to radar the quad to know how fast it is...If it was toy quads as your past experience it will certainly be much faster and much more potentially...

    Two Questions, Syma X5 - batteries and camera

    A good charger is probably one of the better purchases you can make for the hobby..An authentic Imax B6 is pretty popular. The chargers that come with these quads charge at a fairly slow pace and rely on the battery having an overcharge protection chip installed on them for safety. The more...

    Hubsan x4 Out of control

    I just plug in my quad then put it down on a level surface... turn the radio on and make sure the trim levels are centered and bind it...i then put it in high rate and calibrate it....Takes me all of less than 10 seconds...If you think you've done all that properly then just try a new board...Be...

    Hubsan x4 Out of control

    Unless you've done the proper calibration its not easy to proceed and tell you if the board is bad or not bad...When a gyro is out of sync it causes improper rpm to the motors making them out of sync as well causing the quad to fly like crap or drift badly...Its not uncommon for just one motor...

    Building Hybrids for fun.

    You may want to check out the deviation site for a list of modules that work with certain models...Many quads can share the same module but not the necessarily same programming...Here is a list so far..not sure how updated it is however...

    Let us know how it turns out.

    Building Hybrids for fun.

    Sounds like a fun project...As long as the size of the quad will still allow you to use the props i dont see an issue...Not sure what the size of the 600 is compared to your new frame...As long as the flight board and motors are 7.4v compatible i dont see an issue there either. As far as...

    JJRC H5P GEAR

    Last i saw they were 7mm...People using x5c motors as replacements and the diameter of the motor wouldnt matter if just using the shafts and main gear. The gears are alll the same on the x5 models even with the bigger 8.5x16 motors on the S and W models....they are all 54t main gears.

    JJRC H5P GEAR

    It appears it uses the same gearing as the Syma x5 models and quite possibly the shafts as well...I would imagine compatible. I would give it a shot and order some x5 main gear and shaft assemblies and see what happens...I too cannot find just shafts and gears or even a complete motor holder...

    Hubsan x4 Out of control

    The hubsan X4 has 2 or 3 flight rate modes...Low and high...The button on the very top left of the controller changes the rate....The x4 needs to be in high rate which should give you either 2 or 3 beeps when its pressed...Now the quad needs to be on as level a surface as possible then calibrate...

    new toy, need experiment suggestions (sensitive chemistry scale)

    Ill be doing some thrust tests on my quads soon...Using a cup on the scale with the quad upside down on it then taring the scale...Slowly ramping up throttle till full throttle is reached and take a note of the grams of thrust....Fun with a cheap harbor freight scale :p

    Hubsan x4 Out of control

    On the hubsan models the controller must be in high rates to be able to properly calibrate...Ill assume the manual explained this to you and you followed it correctly....Other than that its possible the gyros on the board are going bad. Does it still hover and fly?..If so ,the props are...

    new toy, need experiment suggestions (sensitive chemistry scale)

    I suppose when the weight drops and doesnt drop anymore all the carbon has gone...How long must it sit is the question before it stops.. 1 week?2 months? 3 months?
