power

Just sharing this video showing “how to” setup a transmitter switch to control your VTX output power while flying. I’ve been using this feature since the summer and find it really useful when flying FPV and also when testing and tuning drones. Feel free to ask questions, if I don’t respond...

Hi, I have a few questions regarding my connections. I'm not 100% sure if I have done it correctly. :) I have already soldered it up, but I have made this illustration to make it clearer.. i hope. The components showed: PDB Diatone v8.3 FC Omnibus F3 FrSky XM+ 1. To take the easy thing...

So i bought a couple of batteries from hobbyking and didn't realise that they had xt-30 connectors. This doesn't suit my current build which has an xt-60 connector on the power lead. I have a few spare xt-60 connectors lying around, would it be safe to swap these over on the xt-30 batteries...

Hello my name is keven so for christmas im getting a cheap 250 quad kit which brings a power distribution board which is one without a 5v regulator. I was wondering what battery should i use ? The kit is one of those zmr250 clone kits from ebay

Hi, I have a naze32 flight controller connected to a raspberry pi with USB. The raspberry pi is sending/receiving data to/from naze32. The raspberry is connected to LiPo battery and the usb is enough to power the flight controller. On the other hand I have 4 OPTO ESC. connected to the flight...

Hi guys, Kind of new to the scene, built my first quad a year or so ago and am now addicted. I've built a few of them but this is my first 4S build and the first I plan to put FPV on. I had never tuned any of my other quads, but am experimenting with tuning on this one. When testing various...

This question came up while exporing my disappointing endurance result (see thread). The consensus pretty much is that I have a weak battery, and I'm thinking about buying one of these Turnigy Graphene 4S 6000 mAh lipos. But on another forum, a guy suggested that my 4S, using 1553 props was too...

So when I was flying my s500 today with a 4s 5200Mah lipo and 935kv motors I decided to have some fun and go full throttle a few times starting from just a few meters off the ground. All was well except as the quad rockets upwards on full throttle it goes quite a bit off course, as in doesn't...

Hello everyone, I've got a 250 size quadcopter here, naze32 rev 6, lumenier 2206 2350kv motors, 5040 props on 4s. When I try to fly it, this little rocket :) does not like to descend. I can't get the throttle low enough. When I reduce the throttle, too low and the motors stop and the quad...
