    Calibrating ESCs

    I have a 4-in one hub, they work pretty well,just have to allow a little more time for all of the ESCs to ack. If you have a KK2.1.5 the throttle passthrough does the exact same, by passing the raw throttle in to each motor at once.

    Drone Park Coming to Houston!

    These parks would likely be a good place to meet and fly in areas that might otherwise be restricted for flight (think of big cities or places where there are local laws preventing model aircraft), or even for those still learning in a more urban environment. Sure the business would benefit...

    motor not working after i replaced esc

    Sounds like that motor was damaged when the ESC failed, may have broken one coil.

    matrix-i clone

    Have you looked at the Phantom 4 yet? Might be worth a look before going too far. The same company makes it, but it is a lot cheaper and may capture some things you are interested in. Though for what you are doing it sounds like it might be ok, but perhaps not ideal. No less any worse...

    First quadcopter (With a Raspberry Pi)

    No, the low KV is better for what you are doing, I just meant quality. Something like Multistar 980kv or Turnigy Aerodrive

    First quadcopter (With a Raspberry Pi)

    Looks good, though I'd get some little nicer motors. Dealing with cheap parts is a really hard task hahaha. Most

    still no tracking info after 1 week. ordered from hobbyking

    Paypal is heavily biased toward the buyer, but hobbyking won't want to deal with you via paypal (they certainly know about paypal's bias). You should be able to get paypal to refund you and threaten HK to refuse their business in the future if they don't pay for the refund unless paypal were...

    still no tracking info after 1 week. ordered from hobbyking

    You should be able to send the think back to hobbyking and get credit or a refund to then buy the other one, or you could just buy the sock, IF I remember correctly that is all that changed from the one on HK to the "pro" version.

    Your Quadcopter Has Three Propellers Too Many - Hackaday

    Hahaha, yeah don't forget helis, if yaw were fine they could fly with one blade, though you'd have several moving parts. I've seen footage from a boomerang (the guy used a tail to align it and really good bearings to keep it from spinning with the boomerang)

    I need help for my new drone

    Which ESCs do you have exactly? http://www.rctutor.org/esc-flashing.html You will want to make 100% sure you are flashing the correct firmware for your ESC if you are sdet on flashing them, though I don'y think the stock firmware would create a problem.

    Where do you buy your parts?

    If you have prime then amazon is awesome, you usually have to find alternatives though if you are looking for something too specific.

    Complete Quadcopter Kit using Pixhawk flight controller.

    I second that a build would be great, but you first need to know what you really want. There are some things that are just aren't available to your average hobbyist, though a Phantom 4 would give you about everything you could want for a lot of basic cinematography, it lacks in affordability...

    Syma x8g. Problem. Please help.

    If I understand this right you might have a problem with one motor where it has a short across the coils or more likely the wires going into the coils, when powering it up it would consume all of the power the battery has to offer.

    Cheap, yet good FPV setups to get you started

    I think it is a 3.5mm (AKA 1/8'' or mini) but am not sure, it could be a 2.5mm sub-mini. Here is a similar cable.

    Syma x8g. Problem. Please help.

    Do you have an electrical tester like a multimeter? Could be a low battery preventing it from arming. This could be as simple as charging it to getting a new charger to replacing the battery. Or there could be some type of damage to the power system of the quadcopter itself,
