You can buy the Futaba 6KA for under $200.00. It also supports sbus so when you upgrade your quad and get a more sophisticated FCB you will only have a single wire hook up to the Rx. Have you checked on ebay for used radios? I got my Futaba 10JA $80.00 off w/free shipping on ebay. It was used as...

Two thoughts; 1) Windows 10 is a nightmare. Borrow a laptop that has not been upgraded and reset your KK. 2) I don't know anything about the Futaba Skyport 4 but many older Tx reset their trim to flat when you turn them off. That could be the cause of your problem. Actually I have three...

And a balance charger and battery bag. NOW I think that's all. Ha ha

Order some extra props and a prop balancer (This is important! Dubro makes a great one ). Get about a meter each of good quality red and black silicone 14ga wire. Get at least 20, 30 would be better, 3.5mm bullet connectors. Get a couple sets of male and female XT60 battery connectors. Get a...

I forgot about the FLIP being from Hoverthings. I watched a video a few months ago on their 450 fpv. Very impressive. It crashed hard into a fence post and the only damage was 2 props broken. Not a ding on the frame. Seems to be bulletproof. I agree it would be great to have them continue making...

This is the most confusing quad I have ever owned. Part of the problem is there are so many clones out there. The advice I gave you is for a "real" CX20. Section 5 of your instruction manual should show Flight mode (1) as manual with SWA switch set to the "0" position. Flight mode (2) should be...

Glad your operational again. You'll want to solder the ESC's to the PDB and use bullets for the motor leads to the ESC's. That way you can adjust the motor rotations ( cw ccw ) by unplugging and plugging in any two leads from each motor to get them turning the right way. Let us know about the...

They are addicting. One more thing. Since this branch of the RC hobby is still young, be careful of clones coming from China. For example; the QAV250 from Luminier is an absolutely stellar carbon fiber racer and rather pricey. It is one of the most copied designs by the Chinese. Some of which...

Ok. I'm gonna jump in here on what "mode" means when calibrating the CX20. I calibrated mine sorta by accident . I didn't read the manual and used the procedure for my Super X Mini controller. It worked. When I read the manual I found that what I did was similar enough that it completed the...

My 2 cents is if holtneil says Hoverthings is ok then you can take that to the bank! ( How's that for getting us back on track? Eat your heart out Henry Kissinger! ) :p

That sucks...... I was thinking about doing the same. Now I think I'll just go Apple when they go on sale the first of the year.

Good to hear you have some RC experience. You are right about the cheap stuff. There are a lot of holes in the ground caused by cheap stuff. I would suggest that your first parts hunt be for a Tx/Rx that you like the feel of. You will be able to use this for all your future flying models. These...

Welcome cb500! I would suggest buying a inexpensive RTF small quad to learn to fly on. You will crash. A lot. No sense destroying your hard work and hundreds of dollars while learning to fly. The Hubsan H107 or Syma x5 are really popular. They are rugged. Fly like the full size copters and there...

And be sure it's 1s. Get a pigtail for your charger and you can charge all your batteries at once!

Hey griz. Haven't heard from you for a few days. Any news on the build? I'm leaving on the 8th for about 3 1/2 weeks. It would be great to catch up before I leave. Your build is one of the more interesting ones on the site.

I agree with Jackson and GJH105775. I found that I cannot use goggles at all. I thought, like you, that FPV would make it easier to fly. Not really. It is just a different type of flying. Using a screen IS fun. I cannot fly using just the screen. I have to look up. It is helpful lining up video...

I finally went ahead and read the manual. In section 4 Basic Operation it does describe spinning as part of the compass calibration process. It is a 2 part process that they don't do a very good job of describing. My advice is to place the Tx in mode 2 as described in section 3, part 2. Complete...

Instead of "dancing" just spin it in your hands , being careful to keep it horizontal and then vertical. Mine locked immediately. I didn't read all the instructions ('cause I'm a guy) and did it the same way I do my MiniX. Sometimes even a blind squirrel finds a nut..........

I fly rather sedately and the largest capacity battery I have found that will fit in the compartment is the Turnigy MultiStar 3s 3000mah 10c from Hobby King. I get 23-26 minutes flight time with this battery.The 10c might not work for you if you fly aggressively. If you don't care about...

Hey quadcopter102. Start a post in the "Newbie section" Use the title "Need help on new build". Folks will catch up with you there.
