You can have brushed 3-phase motors, but I agree with you hahaha. Usually if it is 3 phase and smaller then it is going to be brushless.

I am taking some apart now that have little balls of solder in them, think it got in as some solder can become airborn, but I'm sure that is what these would sound like as the solder caught in the motors.

Unlikely, try testing the ESCs individually without props. You could plug them directly into hte PWM output of a receiver if you have one, if not you can use the FCB. Also might try to calibrate the ACC and Gyros. Can you get a video of it?

Have you made sure that the ESCs are plugged into the correct outputs from the FCB?

In that case they use 802.15.1 standards which are seriously lacking when it comes to range, not really worth using.

I would suggest youtube, but I don't think I've heard of that FCB.

I'd strongly suggest against using headless. It makes your right stick control the quad relative to the position it was when you armed it. Basically if you arm it (facing the same direction as you are) and take off, then yaw left (turn left) so that the quadcopter is facing left and you are...

Haha, sorry about that, Tx means transmitter, Rx means receiver. Terms are mostly used in IT, engineering, or in hobby electronics. If you can exchange it and be done that would be your best option.

You have any channels reversed on your Tx?

Can you post the link? Also what type of flying are you interested in?

4-6 channels are usually what you would use. 4 channels is the minimum for a multirotor as you have roll, pitch, yaw, and throttle. Having additional chalnnels is good for things like tuning a multiwii or APM with knobs, and switching different functions on or off like return to home...

It is possible(and not uncommon) to cause an ESC to burn with a firmware problem such as trying to use a feature your ESCs don't support, or a serious timing error that leads to two FETs being on that should not. If you've flown it with the new fimware then it is likely that it was a crash...

Looks to me to be some sort of laminate to make things look good, and maybe add strength, but I could easily be wrong.

If you get the lighter electric wood props it is not that much of a problem, but with most wood props it would hamper your stabilization.

I'd go with wood as they are more likely to be balanced, usually cheaper, and almost as stiff. Availability is the biggest problem with them.

Well the FAA used an obscure interpretation of the word all, redefined aircraft, and declared it an emergency due to their complacency in foreseeing that December 25th came after the 24th in order to use the streamlined emergency rule making process to pass this. Hopefully these regulatory...

It should work. It will take a little longer to charge as the charger is likely providing lower current, but the fastest you should charge a LiPo is around an hour(1C which is amps=1*Ah), add a little bit of time for efficiency loss.

You could have a motor that is getting weak. Does this run little coreless DC motors? Yaw is rotating, pitch is tilting forward and back, roll is tilting to the left or right.
