Haha, I have done a few rolls and flips(unintentionally while tuning it xD) a few ended in mine driving into the ground at full throttle. Also I have found that you can get pretty good video by strapping a camera to a headlamp and wearing it.
Haha, k, the cc3d will be pretty stable, and as with any you can tune it to be better (or worse) any video with a cc3d will show you what you are looking for.
This if for general three phase motors (both full sized and hobby), but the motor will be designed to run lets say 10s and will be around lets say 100kv rather than a 3s running at 333 kv The RPMs are the same, but the KV is lower allowing it to run the same prop drawing much less amperage.
That is true, but I am talking about the motors being designed for higher voltage and drawing less amperage. This theoretically gives higher efficiency, but in practice you don't gain much efficiency.
Yeah, if you order from hobby king, know that they usually have the best prices, but shipping is really high, so when you do get things off them you have to buy everything at once to save any money.
Sounds like you would have fried part of the ATmel but I'd suggest you look for burnt parts, often things like diodes, transistors and cheap parts will burn first, you can replace one of those and save the board.
Haha, I am pulling scabs to just by hobby grade, let alone professional. Though I'd love to have something like that, I'd also love to have my own full sized plane haha.
