first build

Hello all! I'm a noob to the makerspace as a whole (outside of 1 strongly-scaffolded uni assignment, I've never built a mechatronic thing). In spite of this, I've got it through my head that I'd like to build a quadcopter, and what's more, I'd like to implement my own flight control loop...

Hi Pilots! I'm having a hard time diagnosing the problem with my first self built drone. It seems like the throttle is always going up on its own after a few seconds of flying, I've tired Acro/angle/horizon mode and it does the same thing. I've reflashed the FC too. On the video I cut the motors...

Hello. It's my first time posting onto a forum a problem so I'm sorry if I don't express myself clearly enough. I've built my own quad with these parts: *FC -> RaceStar StarF3S 30 A: bit.ly/2D5Z1cm *Frame -> HSKRC TWE210mm frame: bit.ly/2VNkn5B *Mottors -> DYS Samuk Series Shu 2306 2250Kv...

Hi I've been researching for a while regarding my first quadcopter build and I was looking to get some advice from the forums. I'm planning a 450 frame with Emax MT2213 (935Kv) motors and 8" props. I was going to pick up the Anniversary Special Edition Racerstar REV35 35A for £20 from banggood...

I am building my first quadcopter, I have a lot of little cheap ones I have been flying and I really want to do an fpv quadcopter. I 3d printed a couple of 450 frames, I know most fpv are the smaller frames and if I am swayed I will go with the alien CB frame. I am trying to find a FAST motor...

Hi All I'm after some advice, A, as to if I have all the parts I need and B, validation that what I have listed can all work together! This will be my first build so I'm not expecting it to be amazing by any stretch! Frame and landing gear Rcmodelpart-Quadcopter-Fuselage-Version-Landing...

Hi, i have bought all the parts and configured my first Quad via UAVFUTURES' $200 guide (Upgraded version). Links found here: And I have been having some issues with getting my quad to successfully arm and respond to the throttle, with it being configured in Cleanflight, as by following the...

New to this hobby currently learning to fly my first drone JJRC H33. A very low tech toy drone but I am finding it forgiving and easy to control in the garden. Having watched a number of YouTube videos a $99 build even having converted to £ seemed like just the thing to keep me occupied while...

I'd like to know if this is a good quad setup, and if not, other quad builds around this cost and size that i could try. This is my first build, however i flown a lot of other more toy-ish and semi serious quads before. I'm also am okay at soldering and know my way around electronics. I have a...

Well, I decided that I would like to build my first drone and I'm really excited! I would like it to be a photography drone. Here is my part list below: Frame: I am 3D printing a Quadcopter frame FC: F3 Flight Controller Acro 6 DOF/Deluxe 10 DOF for Multirotor Racing PDB: CC3D NAZE32 F3 Power...

Hello, all. I originally posted with issues on my first build (never flew) and the problem seems to have changed quite a bit...it's an interesting progression if you'd like to follow it, check my other post. BUT the progress has lead to setup changes that would constitute a new posting...

I currently have a 22.2v 5000mAh lipo on my first quadcopter build, its pretty heavy but I have some 800kv motors with 11in props/30A esc's that have no problem lifting it off the ground. The problem is, despite all of my calibration efforts, "hovering throttle" causes it to lift off the ground...

My roommate and I decided 2 years ago that it would be a fun challenge to learn about and build a quadcopter from scratch. We even planned on making our frame from scratch with 3D printed parts, but eventually settled on a premade one. This is the parts list we drew up Turnigy 850kv brushless...

Hi! I am building my first drone and am new comer to the world of drones themselves. I am having trouble syncing the drone with my remote and mapping the buttons and sticks so the drone will actually work without being hooked up to Cleanflight. Help would be much appreciated.

So I'm hooked! Flew a DJI last night and started looking into racing drones. Found a site and started to piece together what I hope will be a good learner... Can someone tell me if I am missing something or need different pieces? My build so far ( haven't purchased yet) Body: QAV-Skitzo quad...

I have decided to do a DIY Quadcopter. I will be purchasing a starter kit to jump start the project since this is my first DIY. I have some questions concerning the RC transmitter/receiver though. I have made the questions bold. The starter kit comes with: 1) Carbon Fiber Frame 2) CC3D Flight...

I was thinking about making an app for iOS and Android that would allow the user to easily choose compatible parts for a multirotor. It would give you settings and options for the size, budget, etc. It would also give descriptions of all of the parts and give links to retailers like HobbyKing or...

Hi, I'm an electro engineer student and I somehow got this idea in my mind about, how could I make a mini to medium size quad, that can be controlled over an android device AND it's FPV camera can be viewed on the same device at the same time. You know, like some of those toys you can buy at a...
