I have not experienced, or heard of, the throttle issue you described. Hope the board fixes it for you. Mine just stops and falls out of the sky as soon as it flashes. Like you, I now time my flights. I have been using cheap chargers for my batteries and when I checked a newly charged pack of...

I just ordered one of these; http://hitecrcd.com/products/chargers/acdc-chargers/x4-micro-acdc-1-cell-lipo-charger/product $45.00 from amazon and get it next week. $41.00 on ebay and delivery sometime. I have gone thru 2 cheap chargers that came with the multi packs. One undercharged and now the...

One more thing. How many flights on your motors? Around 40ish is usually the max although it would be rare for all four to fail the exact same way. Have you ever cleaned and lubed, very, very lightly, the gears?

Have you tested your battery(ies)? For all the motors to slow at once has 2 main possibilities; the battery or the FCB has a component overheating. I had a little Helimax 1si and had a similar problem that turned out to be the charger( cheap little dude) was not fully charging the batteries.

Welcome aboard!! Fun video! The force is strong within you........ Haha!

Sounds like a plan. Let us know how it works out.

ohhhh! That's harsh..... It was fine 'til ya laughed...... Well ringalong. What do you think? With all the bloviating was anything said of value in helping you solve your problem?

Go ahead and laugh, but I have plugged in a KK2 , told it the basics and then flew perfectly fine on the factory settings. Proof that ya don't have to program a damn thing to fly and have fun. Just keep 'er square. Hahaha!! Just 'cause I can't spell "maff" or "prawsessin'" is no reason to make...

Agreed. I was addressing the kind of quads most common to our hobby and ONLY the mechanics of how the different designs accomplish their goals. NOT the electronics or the mixing of different props and motors. Nothing exotic. Just regular ol' quads.

Oooops. Got outa synch again.

I think I can clarify part of this. I had a discussion about drones with my brother-in-law who is a Boeing engineer. I was asking him about different quad designs I was interested in. He stated that the + and X quads(square) are the most stable in flight because no matter what the axis, DURING...

Bummer! Out of stock. Not available until end of Nov. ( Haven't used the last one yet so I don't know why I'm upset.Hahaha!)

Maaan..... That is way to much to keep straight.Haha! Glad I'm into "real"quads.........:cool:

Thanks. Just curious.

Wow! Do you know why he has 2 pieces of noodle facing up and 2 facing down? Do you think he's tweaking the airflow? I bet he's a huge hit at air meets!

I agree with your point,Jackson, particularly with racing quads. Designing in a planned amount of instability greatly enhances agility. Just like fighter jets are purposefully designed that way. They rely on computers to maintain the flight of an airplane that normally would be unable to get...

I haven't overlapped any but when I think of octocopters it could work. For example, if you mounted the front motors facing down and the rear motors facing up I don't see why that wouldn't work. The props are going opposite rotations like the octo's. Personally I would extend the rear arms...

I got one too but I never installed it. Did you ever try yours?

Looks like it's gonna be a good looking quad! I noticed something that might help you on two fronts. A quad will fly better when it's wheelbase is "square". In other words the dimensions from motor to motor front to back and side to side are all the same. the other benefit is you will have the...

Dreams and plans for those dreams are a good thing! Sounds like you have both. When you start building you'll catch the disease and then it's all over. Hopefully your family will understand............ Hahaha!!
