    No, I'm too heavy!

    I didn't know you already had an assortment of motors. Which ones do you have?

    Haha!! Did that backwards. Sorry!

    No, I'm too heavy!

    You can subscribe to ecalc. They will give you a rough idea within +/- 15%. BTW I believe those motors are all wrong for your build. They are for heavy lift applications using 13" and larger props and when I was looking around for info on them they seem to have a large # of defects. The better...

    New...to be delivered...or not? Syma X8W

    Ya know..... sometimes it's better to just cut your losses and move on. I have had similar experiences with Chinese crap from ebay and got no help in resolving problems going thru ebay. The last time, I received motors that were boxed wrong. Correct part # on the box, wrong motor in the box. My...

    Here is a combo that you can use with 3s or 4s and will work with your frame and other electronics: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/161835772968?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82 Motor mounts...

    Can't Get Off the Ground

    LoneRCRanger sounds like he has you going in the right direction. Most of the RTF binding/ unlock problems seem to come from not following the manual EXACTLY. This can be more complicated than it sounds when the translation from Chinese is literal. This can be confusing( and a bit funny) but...

    Bad Quad or Bad Me?

    Go with GJH105775's advice. It's not as complicated as you think. I'm sure he will be happy to help if you run into trouble. You could also just bind it each time and fly it 'til you destroy it. (Could be fun). After you've flown that one into the ground, consider building one. Very, very...

    FPV Frame......

    Oh God..... My buddies are going cheap again...... HaHa! Seriously, cheap will bite you in the butt in the long run. As a aeronautics engineer you know this. Don't succumb to the dark side:)! Look thru the forum and you will find some amazing advice that will keep you out of trouble. In...

    FPV Frame......

    Welcome! Looks like a rugged beginner racer frame. Have you flown a quad before? If not, consider purchasing a RTF FPV quad like the Syma X5 or X8, or one of the offerings from Dromida or Hubsan. They retail for around a hundred bucks or so complete and repair parts are cheap and easy to find...

    Bad Quad or Bad Me?

    I am unfamiliar with your quad so I viewed this video. It appears you do need to bind it each time. There are a lot of helpful videos attached to this one. Looks like a nice quad. Seems to just need a larger battery to be great. With the limited space you'll probably have to strap one on to...

    Looking for a camera and inverted gimbal.

    Check out RunCam. They have a broad selection and are sold on ebay, amazon, new egg and just about any other site you can think of. They have a great rep for being rugged, inexpensive and have a sharp picture. I just got, but have not used yet, the RunCam SKY 2. It is a HD board cam that I will...

    $400 to spend, any ideals

    Hey griz! How's the flight training coming along? Getting a handle on it? I got back from my trip early because of flash flooding and rock slides in southern Utah. Real tragedy. 12 dead and two still missing when I left. Not a good place to be on two wheels. Did see a film crew with a HUGE...

    $400 to spend, any ideals

    Cool video! Thank you for video proof that using quality parts is the way to go when building a quad. griz has taken this path for his build and your video proves that it is not necessary to add weight and/or complexity to overcome vibration and the problems that come with it, not to mention you...

    Quanum Nova Compass calibration

    It seems to depend on whether you have a "real" CX20 or a clone ( and which clone you have ). Look at the posts on the forum for Riceman; calibrating the Cheerson CX20 compass. The methods on there are pretty much all that the forum members have had experience with. Please pass on any additional...

    Mode 1 Cheerson CX20 calibration help

    Sorry for the late reply. I just got back in town last night. Have you been able to unlock the motors yet? Mine unlocks when I turn the Tx on then plug in the quad, then move the throttle down and right. When the red light becomes solid I'm good to go.

    RTF quadrocopter what you suggest?

    Sorry for the late reply. Just got back in town last night. The website lists everything that comes with the RTF package as well as options such as a gimbal etc.

    RTF quadrocopter what you suggest?

    BTW. As advanced as the Solo is , the Iris is nearly as sophisticated and uses solid, proven technology. What I really like about it is it can be changed and modified and hot rodded easily, while still doing 98% of what the Solo does. That speaks to the tinkerer in me. I can upgrade the power...

    RTF quadrocopter what you suggest?

    Haha! Most, not all, of the vendors for our young hobby can hardly spell customer service much less give any. Even DJI has their detractors on customer service, so when companies like 3DR, Kde Direct, XAircraft America etc. give good customer service they deserve a shout out. This IS a young...
