    More foamy questions, can we have a fixed wing board yet?

    Yeah, Y connector, just make sure they are not both throwing forward or both throwing backwards.

    12 guage copper speaker wire as a power harness?

    As long as you're not including alloys, then the list gets much larger.

    12 guage copper speaker wire as a power harness?

    It is not all that uncommon, most of your batteries have Al leads. Aluminium is 200% more efficient looking at load vs weight. I'm doing something right now but I'll post a link or some links.

    12 guage copper speaker wire as a power harness?

    Mine do hahahahaha.

    12 guage copper speaker wire as a power harness?

    12 gauge should be fine, but bigger would certainly not hurt on your trunk line. If you have nothing else just pair two wires in parallel. . http://www.solar-wind.co.uk/cable-sizing-DC-cables.html

    12 guage copper speaker wire as a power harness?

    3S, what size, what motors and battery.

    12 guage copper speaker wire as a power harness?

    Copper is easy, much easier than aluminum. How many amps you planning to be pulling on this?

    New Rules from the CAA UK quad fliers please read

    Not entirely the case. Most of restrictions on hobbyist are advisory in nature (the height cap for example as long as you're not violating any other airspace restrictions ). The little agreement that you have to do to register is very questionable. Most attorneys I've asked about it...

    New Rules from the CAA UK quad fliers please read

    FPV without goggles pretty much ruins FPV hahahaha. Glad I'm in the US I suppose, but that is a little bit of a buzz kill.

    Echine 250 Racer W/FPV setup. 275.00

    Might be a little bit cheaper, the his would get there a LOT faster.

    New Rules from the CAA UK quad fliers please read

    But are you guys able to legally fly FPV?

    how many channels do I really need?

    Yeah, I have their HKTR6a v2 pair. They look and feel cheap, but I have not had any problems, and have ~300m(meters, so around 900'-1000') range.

    how many channels do I really need?

    4 channels are required to fly a multirotor.

    wire used for power harness?

    I have some 14AWG stranded wire on my big wooden hex build. Though it is in a much longer run I also have some CAT6 cable which uses 24AWG solid wire. I run it to provide data and 5v to all of my electronics. Cable vibrations were not a problem here, but it is more than triple the...

    Quadcopter pitches more backwards than forwards

    Sounds like a setting in your radio, however if the stick moves at the same speed on the baseflight receiver test then I'd opt for some type of stabilization end point or your quad simply being unbalanced. Try putting your fingers under the center to balance it and if you need to adjust the...

    wire used for power harness?

    Well for a start that is 3 phase AC, so the skin affect has a small play, but that is not the real reason. the reason comes down to the length of the amount of wire. Two parallel wires carry more current than 1 wire, try doubling the size and you'll find that it is nearly impossible to...

    wire used for power harness?

    The silicone refers to the 'plastic' coating on the wire. Silicone it is a pain to work with due to the low heat tolerance, but very flexible. As for stranded carrying more current it is not really noticeable on 100' runs of AC, and only really matters when you experience the skin effect at...

    Help me build this Sky Terror.

    I'd just use nylon inserts, but lock-tite would work, however you have to let it cure so if you break a prop on the field it won't do you any good to add it.

    wire used for power harness?

    Resistance in it'self in not usually a problem, but heat generated from the resistance is. Just use a little wire gauge calculator. Normally you have MUCH longer runs, so you'll find that you don't need a very big wire, the sizes Jackson listed would work just fine. You can buy...

    Electrical question

    Oh, so you have a better quad than I thought. The brushless motors will have specs for sure. The motors should pull around 8 amps(I have some DYS that pull about that but 0n 3S so it may be lower) so ~32amps 2.2*15 = 33amps @ 15C You're close enough that that is likely you're problem...
