    Trouble with Wizard x220 ATF

    so here we go, I'm having problems with... everything! I'm brand new to this stuff and I thought a atf would be the best way to get into it. let me start with transmitter/receiver. I had a spectrum DX6e gifted to me with my first RTF drone and it was fine, but now using it with anything...

    Racing without auto level?

    I recently turned off auto level, as it was suggested for more precise and fluid flight. but now I feel like I have to remember learn all over again, is it normal that I have so much trouble keeping my drone in the air while I really learn, or is it possible that I messed up my gyro somewhere...

    Converting props on a Blade mach25?

    I didn't even think to look at props with the nut built in, worth a try for 2 bucks lol. thanks for the help, I live in the country so next time I head to the city I'll check in at a hobby shop too. maybe they can try some props before I buy a bunch of parts that don't fit lol

    Blade 5x4.5 Bullnose Propeller w/ 5mm insert is the part description and the measurement of the mount without the rubber o ring is roughly 5mm wide by 10mm tall, here is a picture of my actual prop you can see at the base it has a slight camber

    Converting props on a Blade mach25?

    this is a picture of the "proprietary" blade mach 25 props ccw and cw blades have a different shape that the nut fits inside so they self tighten. they are hard to find and expensive, and break when you look at them with a raised eyebrow. but because the nut fits inside the prop I cant use...

    Second opinion before i pull the trigger

    to clarify I'm assuming with a ppm receiver it only has 1 plug instead of a separate place for rudder/elevator/throttle etc... easier to set up one vs the other?

    Second opinion before i pull the trigger

    I'm new to this so I'm sorry if I get anything wrong, but the FC (flight controller I'm assuming) says "* 2 x 8 pin JST-SH Socket (PPM, PWM, SERIAL RX, GPIO, ADC, 3V, 5V, GND)'' under the description. and like I said I'm pretty new, what is the advantage of one FC over the other? the naze was...

    Converting props on a Blade mach25?

    I just got a mach 25, its my first, and I'm having fun with it. My problem comes in with props... they are a proprietary self tightening system and I want to convert it to be able to accept any prop... they pegs look too small to fit a prop and a nut, so my question is, do I need to get an...

    Looking for pointers!

    Looking for pointers!

    that is a great video, I like that he talks about why he is picking the parts, but I still want to better know what all the differences are, I suppose that comes with research and time :) thankyou for the share!

    Looking for pointers!

    ive been flying for a few months with a RTF drone and want to start building my own ZMR or QAV from the ground up. I think I have the motors and props I want, but I'm seeing a wide variety of flight controllers, ESC's, and such at various price points. my question is; is there a lot of...
