For the props, you might get a couple pairs of plastic props to do testing on, but you really want to fly with CF on bigger props. Plastic can get stress points and what not, and even explode in air if they are stressed. CF props are a little costly, so I did my testing on plastic (went...

With the motors you have now you want 35 amp ESC at least. Because you need more amperage than draw, and you don't wanting an ESC failing mid air.

A 3S will say 11.1, and be 12V. You can probably use a BEC.

Ok, first thing I noticed is that you are getting (OPTO) ESCs, this means that it will have no BEC. If you get ESCs that don't say OPTO beside them you won't have to buy an external BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit). The Simon K is a good firmware to run, here is an ESC that has SimonK and a...

Looks like it would work. One of the thinks that makes Afro nice is that is is already flashed with SimonK Firmware. THe BEC seems smaller than some, but that should be fine. You may want to see what Neil thinks though. I have never owned these, just read about them before.

The most expensive props can be unbalanced. They don't spend the time and money to give them each individual attention. But like Holtneil said some will be better than others.

I agree. This can really extent the life of the bearings. The oil is non-conductive so won't cause harm unless it were solvent based it should be fine. There are also some dry lubes that people like to use.

Haha, that should not be too hard.

Thank @holtneil. What he said was that the edge that is highest from the table leads the other edge. So it is first, CW means it spins the direction of a clock.

Haha, yeah I did not do that, and this was after literately less than 5 minutes of flight. It took less than five minutes to replace, the wait for the ends took forever. But I found a cable I harvested from an old printer.

Haha, then it should work great.

It sounds like low voltage cutoff. try plugging it back in to charger. If it still has no lift then if you have a voltage tester check what the battery is outputting. What do you mean by getting the props where they should be? Are you asking about getting the CW&CCW props in the right...

Is that just a strait rod going through the prop?, if so does it fit really tight in the hub?

This is a fairly common problem for people with batteries on the bottom. You probably will only make this mistake once before you start strapping the balance wires in with the battery. First, you need to buy either 4pin female JST ends or a cable with a female JST on it. The little holes...

Glad it helped. Now for the time consuming process of tuning it haha.

Haha, so it can get 20 feet in the air, hit the limit and flip over immediately. :)

I am either waiting for packages, weather, or to crash. haha

haha

THAT would be a scary thing happen to a quad during a test lol. If it started climbing too fast I'd end up chucking stuff at it.
