    Can I do this

    I want to put a switch on my quad so I don't have to unplug so often. The switch says 6 amps at 110 volts. Will it work with my 20 or 30 amp ESCs?. What is the relation between volts and amps in this case?

    FCB features

    I'm ready to purchase a FCB for my 330 build and need certain features that I wonder if they all have. I have a toy quad that shows leds lit until the battery is low then flashes them. Do FCB's all do this? Also I notice my toy quad says it has a 6 axes gyro while I see the FCB's have only...

    Turning the quad while it is so far away does me no good for I can't make out that it is even turning, though for younger eyes that may not be such a problem. I have emailed VooDoo to ask them what FCB it has but they haven't responded. A friend just adjusted my DX6 pitch and roll curves and...

    If i push forward after losing orientation I'll never see it again it goes too fast... I have a DX6 not a 6I. If I knew what I was doing I would have been fine with a 6I...

    KODO fell out of the sky

    My grandson was trying to fly the KODO and it got to high, so I grabbed it and shut the throttle down. When it came to the ground two motors quit working. I don't see anything like wires cut- any ideas???

    Its really not relevant to me at this point I have no idea how or why to change anything except the yaw that I mentioned earlier. I will be learning one problem at a time I guess. For instance I have no idea how to set up two or three different flight programing parameters on my FCB or my...

    building a 330 for carrying camera etc.

    I have a flight program on my laptop that allows me to fly whatever vehicle I choose and I notice that I can fly the touchy quad easily from FPV mode but watching it on the ground I usually crash it. I think when I get FPV on my VooDoo I may have an easier time.

    building a 330 for carrying camera etc.

    That screen your showing me is entirely new to me I'm only a little bit familiar with a program called "baseflight". Can these programs be plugged into any FCB or are they specific to each board? I have been tuning my yaw on the VooDoo as when I got it it was too slow to make a 360 degree...

    building a 330 for carrying camera etc.

    Don't know which FCB my quad has but I would like to have a mode that reduces those things to a manageable level- however the learning curve for making changes is just as steep as the one for flying these things...

    building a 330 for carrying camera etc.

    Yea my comments are based on the extreme difficulty flying my recently purchased VooDoo 280 which I presume has a CC3 or Naza FCB. That being the case I can't imagine one of these boards being easy as the Syma copter. There is simply nothing hard about flying the Syma. To say a FCB is more...

    building a 330 for carrying camera etc.

    I ordered a Flamewheel 330 that I want to put together to carry a max'd out load. Not a car or boat but a couple cameras, a couple batteries, and I want it to fly like my wife's Syma x5c-1 in terms of stability and maneuverability. My question is what FCB to use to achieve this???

    landing gear solution

    I found this rubber tubular item at Ace hardware locally. I don't know what it is for but it was in the section they have for varied bolts, nuts, washers, plugs etc. It just slides onto the metal peg that came on the quad extending it by more than double the distance from the ground and...

    Difference between two Syma models?

    From the youtube video's I watch it seems the (-1) is upgraded because the first one had trouble stablizing.

    Syma x5c-1 mod

    Thanks, I'm sure I got the length correct as I measured it with my verniers. I included the existing length which I soldered onto the additional wire. Probably would have been sufficient to use half wave length but I just ran the full wave length wire around the handle pocket so it doesn't...

    Syma x5c-1 mod

    I added wire to my antenna on the radio that came with my wife's new quad. I put on the length needed for a full wave but I only used a piece of copper wire about 18 gauge. Does it matter that it is not specifically antenna wire??? I had her walk out away from the house a ways and it seems to...

    I don't see any commentary on this, do they need oiling and how???
