    Inductrix FPV Plus needs more speed!!

    So I picked up a Blade Inductrix FPV Plus BNF almost a month ago to help with acro and so I could have something to fly inside. I absolutely love it... it is the perfect size and seemingly indestructible, other than the weak frame... I am seriously considering buying a Rakonheli aluminum frame...

    LiftOff Simulator and Spektrum DXE

    I wasn't quite sure where to post this thread, but am running into an issue. I have heavily researched this topic, but there seems to be nothing corresponding directly to the DXE. My main issue is that I can't seem to get my transmitter to communicate with my computer. I have tried both of the...

    HAM Radio License for FPV

    Thanks guys for the replies and info. Sounds like there will be a lot of useful info covered. Now my next question may seem a bit trivial, but out of curiousity: I don't have any fpv goggles/monitor at the moment so I'm assuming I can simply disconnect the VTX (so no signal is being...

    HAM Radio License for FPV

    Sorry for digging up an old thread, but this is something I've been researching quite a bit lately. I have been considering getting the tech HAM license as well, but I guess what I don't understand (and I believe it was asked in a previous post without an answer), but what exactly will the...

    Nice! That thing is pretty quick! I'll have to look into it for the future. What battery are you running? I actually ended up buying an Inductrix FPV Plus today. My cousin works at my local hobby store and was able to get me a friends and family discount (10% off), so I couldn't help myself...

    Bad ass Batman!

    Looks like it'd be a great build! I really like the frame design. Have you ever used the stack or motors before? I've had those motors in mind for a while and have been looking around at 4 in 1 ESCs for a while for my next build. But regardless, good luck! Post pictures if you decided to go for it!

    This thing has been a blast! I got about 7 packs through until I had a minor crash on some pavement and fried 2 ESCs... oops! But I have seriously been considering picking up a smaller quad as a back up. What micro do you have?

    IT FLIES!!!! :D Thank you Wafflejock for the idea of testing the motors individually... My issue ended up being that the PDB was flipped 180 from where it needed to be... so when I tested motor 1 in GUI, motor 4 would spin on my quad... I flipped the board around and resoldered everything, sure...

    I broke my record and ripped 28 packs on Sept 3

    Talk about drone goals... I'm stuck with only 3 for now until the next paycheck comes in hahaha I would love to be able to fly non-stop for 30+ packs! I guess I have to get it flying first :oops:

    Thank you for the extremely detailed response, that was very informative and helpful. I will hook up the quad again when I get home and pay attention to which motors spin up/down when I tilt it to make sure that everything is oriented correctly.

    I wouldn't be so concerned with these values if I could at least get off the ground and the quad would level out. I know when on the ground the FC thinks the quad isn't level and therefore tries to compensate with raising/lowering motor speed and that all makes sense. I have also checked the...

    Here are the screenshots, in order: 1) first arming with no throttle 2) mid throttle 3) full throttle 4) back to no throttle. As you can see, the motors all start out around the same values, but as they increase motors 1 & 3 go crazy and remain crazy even when I'm back at zero throttle.

    No worries, thank you for the advice regardless. Before I tried to test them individually, I armed the quad (props off of course) and noticed something strange... At mid throttle (1500) motor 1 was abnormally low and motor 3 was abnormally high. Motors 2 and 4 were spot on. Now the motor...

    Thank you for the input! I double checked the orientation last night and verified that if I tilted toward me, the image responded the same, as well in all other directions. I will double check the direction of the motors here shortly, it'd be nice if that's all that it was! I haven't tried it...

    Not your average Chameleon

    So I need some advice... Quad arms, I seem to have good control over the throttle now, but as soon as I try to take off, the quad flips out of control, usually backwards. I have double checked the mid and end points, triple checked the orientation of the FC and motors (as well as props)...

    Well I definitely got lucky. I picked up a much better soldering iron and resoldered almost every joint and thankfully no sparks! I was finally able to actually arm the quad today for the first time ever! So stoked.... But, now the issue I have to sort through is that I get zero throttle...

    I finally had some free time to work on this thing! I was able to get the FC setup, but when went to plug in the battery to program the ESCs... fireworks from the XT60... thankfully the electronics look alright, but the inside of the XT60 is charred pretty good. My guess is crappy solder job...

    First time using KISS GUI

    Anybody? I could really use some help! I've been messing with it on and off still with no luck. I may email Flyduino here soon to see if they have any suggestions.

    First time using KISS GUI

    Also, I've tried downloading the GUI via Chrome apps (assuming that it's the latest version) as well as 2.0.2, and 1.16.15, all with no luck.

    First time using KISS GUI

    Well, a little trouble in paradise... I am currently working on setting up the flight controller and have never used KISS GUI before. I have downloaded all of the correct drivers and even used ImpulseRC driver fixer which said it fixed the drivers, but when I try to connect in GUI the "connect"...
