    motors hazard

    Recalibrate, I've had this problem several times, it happens when there is a problem in calibration and your throttle range is basically 0 or non-existent.

    Ardu-copter flipping sideways instead of taking off

    Glad it worked, you doing a happy dance? hahahahaha

    Oh No!!!! A Drone has hit a plane!

    Yep, and if we as viewers don't get outraged enough to take action like boycotting and that type of thing then there is no reason to stop. However if their viewers did get mad at them each time this happened it would be avoided, but as many people as there are viewing each site, you'd have...

    Ardu-copter flipping sideways instead of taking off

    Does it stay on the ground as solid as a rock? It looks like all of the props are wrong. Generally this is the correct configuration: CW====CCW CCW====CW Unless uoir flight controller calls for different I'd suggest switching the props around, I highlighted the leading edge to...

    FPV tx/rx channel selection

    I've had Txs come and end up being listed as the wrong band hahahaha Might get one 8ch and one 32ch, or triple check that you will have overlapping frequencies.

    450 quad ocillations!!

    Check for a bent shaft, and make sure your balancing rig is good. Try to isolate the problem with one motor at a time.

    In the market for a really good quadcopter, FPV, xtra batteries etc. plenty of budget i think

    Given all of this info then I'd certainly suggest the DJI inspire v2 or Phantom 4. 23 minute flight times, 5 km range, and gimbaled cameras pre installed with 4K ability. You could order a Phantom 4 and almost fly it out of the box. Hovering will be really easy on this compared to any heli...

    I need help for my new drone

    As long as the flight controller is being grounded then no reason you can't. I suspect you will be using the power as the common grounds.

    In the market for a really good quadcopter, FPV, xtra batteries etc. plenty of budget i think

    The DJI Phantom 4 would be a great choice, though as @Altsickness said, you'll probably want to make sure you can fly by getting a toy grade like a little 15$ Eachine toy. Practice a couple hours flight with it or until you're confident. Then you can take the Phantom out for a few test...

    ??? about lipo batteries

    Storage voltage is usually written on the package (99% of the time it will be 3.7v per series). Many chargers will charge to ~4.2v per series, and the point where you stop is really opinion, do you want a few extra seconds of flight time that will cost you a battery sooner, or save a battery...

    ESC and motor wiring -- curious

    I think he was making it simpler for newer people, though I think I have heard talk about optimal phase order with bigger biased motors I'm 98% it does not apply here as the phases are all symmetric, and the motors are symmetric with the placement of the coils. Some motors that are...

    How do I charge this battery???

    That is odd, a 2S will charge to around 8.4v while a 3S will charge to around 12.6v. Double check the specs they probably got something wrong.

    VTX caught on fire yesterday, anyone know why?

    No, your router uses 2.4gHz more than likely so a cloverleaf would provide no benefits. You could use a higher gain anteana, as it is more directional you will have to keep that in mind, but you could tripple your range in one direction while losing range in other directions.

    Battery Selection opinions

    At 4S you are going to have plenty of power.

    VTX caught on fire yesterday, anyone know why?

    Perhaps not like you are used to, it is more of a 2 dimensional pad, usually zigzag shaped, coil shaped, or some repetitive pattern on PCB or a thin clear circuit paper.

    Control question

    IDK though I've made it around 720 degrees ;)

    VTX caught on fire yesterday, anyone know why?

    Yeah, but with little gain. You'd also need a right hand or left hand polarized antenna for the receiver.
