I think the props being that close are causing the arm tip vibrations but I don't have any evidence to prove it absolutely. It could also be related to the flex at the arm mounts causing a sympathetic vibration at the tip of the arms. If you install some smaller props and the tip vibration goes...

Just from the photo's and videos I think singalong nailed it with the mounts being the issue. The frame looks to be quite rigid.

21mm arms are huge! Those will guarantee you never have a strength issue! The mounting looks really solid. Looking at the specs it doesn't look like they will cure your prop spacing issue. From looking at the photo it appears you would need to add 2 to 3 inches to each rear arm to get the prop...

It could be we were wrong when we said that as long as the props didn't touch it would be ok. Since you're props and motors are balanced the only thing left is the prop clearance issue. My guess, not a proven fact, is there is a shear force in action at the tips of the counter rotating props...

I actually should have just said Storm Drone but I had just been watching the one on the 250 and it stuck in my head. Check on the forum as well. Latest was from @mistajangles "Storm Racing Drone RTF type B from Helipal". Some other members chimed in as well.

Computer still wonky. Google "storm drone". Click on the 8th listing. That plus the video list sidebar shows 12 different videos of all the 250 Storm Drone models including the new V2. Didn't go beyond that but I believe that's more than 1.

Welcome to the forum seeker! I am having some computer issues so I can't send a link but check out the Storm Drone V2. You can google it and watch a bunch of videos. It is complete and in your budget. A number of the forum members have been buying them and are thrilled with the value and...

Send it back. It's a dud.

Good choice. I started with a 1si. Fun little copter. When you decide to get your FPV quad check out the videos on the Helipal Storm Drone and Storm Drone V2. You might be able to go right to the V2 and just use the 1sq for indoor flying /practice when the weather is bad. There must be 2 dozen...

Having permission made it legal but I can just hear the ACLU rubbing their hands together in anticipation. The left is going to try to compare this to NSA infringing on our privacy. From the look of that gal I think the quad pilot did the guy a favor!

I still don't have to flash mine.:cool:

The Syma is pretty sturdy. It would probably break if you flew it into a tree trunk at full speed. It would also only cost a few dollars to fix. Don't fly around trees! Carbon fiber is incredibly strong and incredibly expensive to repair if you fly it at full speed into a tree. A racing quad...

Hey G. All the orange sbus Rx's except the 12 channel are on backorder. May have to buy a Spectrum if you need it soon.

I don't have to do that on mine. :)

One last suggestion before you return it. Remove the batteries from the Tx. Set all the trims to center. Replace the batteries. Plug in the quad. Turn on the Tx. After it binds , punch it enough to get up out of the dirty air and see if you can control it then. I would do this outside so you...

Jeez........ and here I thought it was my wisdom:rolleyes:. Now I find out you guys are just pissed 'cause I get a discount.....Ha!

The B6 Mini is a big step up from the puck. You can probably get an adapter to charge more than one 1s battery at a time. The little tester/alarm I was talking about was shown below it.

What's wrong with senior citizens? Is it because we get a discount on a McCaffee?

If I had to buy a charger right now for 2s-6s I would get the HItec X4 AC/DC multi port charger #44167. If I had time I would probably get something else like a Graupner or Venom or similar for up to 8 cells and higher wattage. I'm off to Apple class. I'm like the guy Sam Neil played in...

Although "square" wheelbase designs are naturally stable, you are right, a good FC can make anything fly. There are youtube videos of multicopters made from bicycle rims, 2x4's, hat boxes and just about anything else you can think of. The sky's the limit! (Sorry. Bad pun) Hahaha!! I wouldn't...
