    A450 Quadcopter Build - Build Thread

    Got it. Everything seemed to be configured except one thing. My quad loves to drift straight back. I have done an ACC and ESC calibration. All of my subtrims are at zero. I can't seem to figure out what is causing this. Edit: Nevermind, I learned how to adjust my trim with the transmitter...

    I am trying to set up auto level on my transmitter. Are these the correct following steps? Transmitter < Settings < Aux-CH < CH 5 < Choose which knob I want to set it too? Then when I want to use Auto Level on a flight, arm the quadcopter, switch the Auto Level switch on my transmitter, then...

    Gotcha. I am in the learning process of flying the quad and one thing I learned is to buy A LOT of propellers. Lol. Now that I am out of propellers, should I continue to purchase APC propellers or spend more for carbon? I was thinking carbon would have a less chance of breaking for beginners...

    - I went to "Receiver Test" on my KK2.15 board and the numbers were all crazy. I then went to my "Sub Trim" on my RX and adjusted the numbers until the numbers on the KK2.15 were zero except the AUX. - The quad is balanced all the way around. - I will look into speeding up the motors in PI...

    Thanks. I went to the Hobby Store and picked one up for $1o. So I finished balancing my prop. Now onto the next thing: Upon lifting my quad into the air, my quad drifts to the right automatically. What can I do to solve this issue?

    A450 Quadcopter Build - Build Thread

    I pretty much have everything configured and put together. My last step is to balance and propellers and I should be ready to fly the quad. Any good DIY methods I should look at to make a homemade prop balancer? Or should I just go buy one from my local hobby shop (it's probably really...

    What does the term mixing mean and how can I disable it if lets say I went with Acro or Glid?

    Okay, so I have gotten a replacement KK2.15 board in and it looks as if it's properly working. Now that I am onto my next stage of configuring the quadcopter, I need some guidance on setting up the KK2.15 board. I have found this video for an initial set up...

    Gotcha. The KK board came with its own buzzer. I will just use that.

    Gotcha! Thank you! Hopefully I will get it to work tomorrow when stores reopen after Christmas :) Yep, all I need is servo leads to connect from the receiver to KK board.

    A450 Quadcopter Build - Build Thread

    Ok thank you! Regardless, I still think that my KK board is messed up. Since I don't have enough cables to complete it right now, I hooked up the UBEC directly to my KK board and it's just showing white screen, no text. Do you think that it's messed up as well? Or do I need to actually hook it...

    Sorry Holt, I am a complete idiot when it comes to this. One moment before we proceed, so where does my UBEC plug into?

    I tried this and this did not work. Here is how I connected it: M1 = UBEC M2 = ESC #2 M3 = ESC #3 M4 = ESC #4 M8 = ESC #1 KK board turns on with a white screen, but no text on the display.
