Welcome Rumor's! I'm guessing the size drone you are building as 350mm to 450mm? I think these motors would do better for you. A bit more efficient; http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__66416__Turnigy_Multistar_2213_980Kv_14_Pole_Multi_Rotor_Outrunner_V2.html More prop choices as well...

The motors are rated max 3s batteries. I have watched a lot of racers use 4s hi C batteries but they want to win races and don't mind replacing burnt out motors. I think the ESC's will handle it ok but I'm not sure. I have only had 1 quad with Multistar motors and Afro ESC's and was not...

This is brilliant commentary from everyone. We are fortunate to have a lot of smart, savvy members. There is no question that the new regulations will affect us. It looks like there is still some time to influence parts of the process, like registration requirement details, before everything is...

I'm glad to hear you got most of your stuff. I am unfamiliar with the Devo radios. Reach out to holtneil. He should be able to help or at least he will know who to send you to. He is in the Uk.

Sounds like a plan! Of the 44 years I worked 38 were for myself. Very enjoyable. Go for it!!

It is indeed. Actually, I like the building part even more than flying. However. I do buy, rather than build, tools......;)

Gotcha....... That's half the fun

Leave some toy quads for others.............. Xmas is coming!

Thanks for that. I wish I did land that way all the time Haha! Here is a link to a really in depth column on the care and feeding of LiPo batteries. It's a little dry but if your eyes don't glaze over it has a lot of info. Basically for long battery life charge at 1c of the battery amp rating...

Sorry for the crash. Next time use Bob Smith Industries IC-2000 CA glue. It adheres to anything but water! I used it to repair a bracket on one of the oil coolers on my bike a year ago. Still there. Strongest CA I've found yet.

Sometimes you're so smart you're scary........:) You know you can buy a magnetic prop balancer for $6.00? DuBro has shafts for DJI props to use with their balancer. Just sayin'..........;)

So. What name have you picked for your store? I pick " Mikes Quad Emporium". Got a nice ring to it...............

That is correct. When you balance charge the B6AC will automatically adjust the current as the battery is being charged. The B6ac is not powerful enough to charge more than 2s at 5.0a. 3s max is 4.50a, 4s max is 3.38a, 5s max is 2.70a and 6s max is 2.25a so you are safe charging your 5000mah...

Looking good!! Don't forget us little guys when you're rich and famous.....;)

Hahaha!! I know! Right? I could save myself hundreds and hundreds of dollars by just playing with these "TOY's"! Or maybe not........ I just bought a tiny little camera that cost more than the quad!:eek:

I was finally able to get my X5C1 charged up today ( family stuff kept interfering). I had to fly inside because of weather. What a great little quad!! Anyway. I can bind mine either by turning the Tx on first and then the quad or the quad first and then the Tx. Everyone is right! Sure is a...

Finally got a chance to unpack and fly my X5C1 today. The only "mod" I've done so far is to remove the landing gear and camera. I also replaced the battery with a 680mah one. It is 15-20mph winds today with lots of leaves so I could only fly a little inside. What a great little quad! No wonder...

You're a lucky man

Never mind G. I figured it out. That's 2 new things this week. One from Jackson on being able to use older radio gear for newer models and one from you on how to actually use my brain............

I'm going to go with the first thought that the current build is more than the motors can handle. As Mike H. states the very wide arms are a problem as well. The fix is cheap. Small battery, basswood sheet, 1/4" dowel, nylon fasteners, a couple different 4" and 5 " props to try and trim the...
