newbie

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...

Hello everyone, I am absolutely new in this world. I'm thinking of buying my first drone with which I can learn and record videos. I really want to get into the world for this purpose. I want to start with a rather low budget (below $100) and if possible I could use it indoors and outdoors. What...

Hello all, This is a link to a video I took of it happening: I'm using a link to the YouTube because this website wont let me upload the video. I made sure the propellers were all on the right motors and in betaflight I checked each individual motor to make sure they were turning the right...

Hello! I'm totally new to the RC/Quadcopter/Drone community, and I'm not terribly sure where to start or how. I got my hands on a MJX X101 drone that had been lost sometime last year. Nobody claimed it, so it was given to me basically for free. It came with no remote or charger. I managed to...

I'm new to drones and I'm getting really frustrated with my wizard x220 rtf I've managed to bind the controller and drone but the controller isn't moving the drone, the motors won't even spin.. I've spent 2 days off trying to work it out, I've managed to connect it to the wizard to beta flight...

I have the default Blade mQX RTF, it was a gift from my dad and I love it. It is pretty difficult to maneuver even after extensive practice inside/outside( ~20 hours ), trim has always been an issue with the provided remote. It would seem that real controllers can do so much more than the...

Hello! Completely new to drones/quads – never used one or anything similar. I am looking to get started with something relatively inexpensive at first. Primarily just want to use it for taking photos when I'm enjoying the outdoors. I already have a GoPro Hero 3+ and would ideally like to be...

Hi all! new to the hobby, and thought i would add a FPV mod to my contixo f17. I added a VTX03 along with a runcam swift 2 camera and have Ev800 goggles. I get a solid crystal clear image for 3-6 seconds mostly, sometimes up to 30, then the screen goes to static for 20-30 seconds, and after that...

I've just purchased the Flysky FS-i6 Tx/Rx combo and want a quadcopter kit to use with it, but WITHOUT Tx and Rx. Can anyone recommend a good, not too expensive ($30 - $80) kit that has everything - frame, motors, props, perhaps battery, NO FPV and NO Tx/Rx?

So i was into drones about 1.5 years ago and decided to build myself one to try out however, it never really worked as well as i wanted and didn't have features i probably just assumed were standard like altitude hold and return to home. so i planned an upgrade using a SPracing F3 (which i later...

I was gifted a flamewheel 450 frame only. I am new to quadcopters. Recommendations on parts, assembly and how to fly would be appreciated?

Hi there guys So, I'm building my first quad with some help but i would like other opinions specially from experienced people. So, by now, I already bought: Frame : Diatone Q450 v3 from Bangood Motors: Multistar Elite 2216 920KV Props: Multistar Propeller With DJI Fitting 10x4.5...

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...

Hi Gang, My name in Marcus, 28 from Devon (but living in London) and I am planning on getting into the world of drone flying. A large contributor to my interest is an upcoming trip to Southeast Asia at the end of the year. Lots of research to be done but that's all part of the fun! Looking...

So,I really want to get into this hobby, but I am still in the research phase of everything. There a few things that have confused me, and have not been answered anywhere I have seen. I would really appreciate anyone so kind as to answer these questions for me. How do you know if your quad it's...

I need to know more about Quadcopters like Channels Ghz and etc thanks!
