I crashed my wifes 350 and it won't go into takeoff mode any more. The connector wire for the GPS to the mother board is broken so I tried to reconnect the wire but not sure if I was succesfull. I ordered and received a computer connection cable to talk to the mother board but have no idea...

Crashed my QX350-3 and swapping the parts over to a Rakon Heli Carbon Fibre frame. In the crash a single grey wire from the body traveled down the landing leg opposite the side the compass wiring is on. That wire broke off and I don't know where to reinstall the broken wire. There is a small...

Is there an explanation of motor sizes and the relation between a number (2213 or xxxx) and the kv and prop size usable with these motors?

I am unable to get my radio to indicate any communication to the FCB ( naze 32) while on Baseflight. moving the throttle forward and back gets no movement of the colored bar at the throttle. The problem may be that I have the RX cables out of order on the FCB but I think they are right. I need...

I ordered some 3mm connectors from Amazon only to find out that they will be delivered sometime in Sept or maybe Oct. Where can I find a legitimate dealer that sells 3mm connectors and will get them to me next week???

I'm building a 330 quad and bought the Naze 32 with barometer in it so I could hover. I'm assuming I'll need to set a switch to accomplish the use of the barometer. I'm using BaseFlight but don't know how to set a switch position. Can anyone school me? Also I guess I need to run an extra...

My second quad was-is a VooDoo 280 racing brick. Although it has no redeemable aero nautical abilities it screams around the sky until an immovable object hits it. With me flying that is quite often- lots of prop changes... I have learned to fly my wifes Syma XC5-1 rather briskly and wanted...

I see a few You Tube videos flashing ESC's. I bought 4 DYS units that said they were Simon something. Will I have to flash these things before powering up(how would I do that), or is it ready to operate?

A friend is looking for a camera drone around $100+-. Are there any that use a 2s battery as opposed to a single cell battery? I am concluding that all single cell batteries are worthless. The quads seem to slow down as soon as they begin to discharge. The ideal quad would be 250 or larger...

I'm prepping my Spectrum DX 6 to hold my Ipad mini as a FPV monitor. Got it mounted but now I need to understand how to connect to the receiver. Can I use the Bluetooth connection on the Ipad to connect to the receiver which will be mounted close by or is it best to use an Apple cable and...

A. I am attempting to bring my racing quad- I am not a racer- under my control. I notice that as I lift off the quad slightly leans forward and once in the air it wanders forward and turns right yaw ever so slightly. I have backed off the tabs to read "0" gain in any direction, but it seems...

My wife's Syma seems to lose power very quickly while flying to the degree that it barely lifts of the ground. Even putting a charged battery in it doesn't help. When it is first flown it does alright though...

I can't fly very well and crashed my 280 VooDoo into a tree. It fell to the ground and I no longer am able to arm the quad. I tried rebinding it but it indicates a failure to bind on my Spectrum 6x. The lights on the FCB seem to be working when I turn it on- it is a naze32 clone. This seems...

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?

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...

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???

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???

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...

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???
