    Hoping to fly new quadcopter soon... maybe?

    I've been working on this thing for a few weeks now, with no luck. Every time I get something to work, I find two more things that don't... or need replacing due to the crash. The only advice I've been getting from the seller is, "send it to us -- our shop rate is $110/hr and it usually takes...

    Hoping to fly new quadcopter soon... maybe?

    Crash and burn. :( I was finally able to make the failsafe adjustments (following a video provided by the seller). I took the quad out to a field for a test flight, and it was unresponsive to the controls. I tried powering it up again, and this time it took off straight up with no response...

    Hoping to fly new quadcopter soon... maybe?

    The balancer has two opposing metal cone nuts that tighten into the hole in the blade. The seller's advice is to use a caliper to make sure it's centered. I prefer the idea of coming up with some sort of "filler" for the ends of the oblong holes, forcing the cones into the center. I'll work...

    Hoping to fly new quadcopter soon... maybe?

    Okay... progress in just 15 minutes!! While I was typing out my last post, it occurred to me that I should simply try setting up a new email/password combo using another email address. I did that, and I was able to get everything to connect and cooperate. Now my firmware is upgraded -- my...

    Hoping to fly new quadcopter soon... maybe?

    The problem is the Nazam assistant software. When I try running it to calibrate, I keep getting a "firmware incompatible" error and it locks up. It also asks for me to log in, and I set up an email address/password combo that worked once and then it keeps telling me "the email address and...

    Hoping to fly new quadcopter soon... maybe?

    Wow Hobbies is the seller. It's not a kit -- it was fully assembled when I got it, and was fully binded/calibrated/etc. when it left their store. However, the transmitter I received was a different model than all the instructions, and I somehow unbinded the quad while trying to figure out how...

    Hoping to fly new quadcopter soon... maybe?

    Thanks, though I'm confused. While I'm sure the equipment is from off shore, I purchased the quad from a seller in California so there's no time zone issue per se. I even offered to drive to their store so they could first-hand show me how everything works. This would be a 2,100+ mile round...

    Hoping to fly new quadcopter soon... maybe?

    Not wanting to build my own, about a month ago I purchased a Turbo Ace X830-D quadcopter and have been excited to try it out. Three weeks after receiving the copter, it has yet to fly. I wish I could tell you when it will get airborn, but I suspect I'm still weeks away. Why? * Most of the...
