    Crap... (Pro Tip on Motor Mounting) + update on failure

    Why yes,,,, yes I did.... xD

    motors

    I was talking about replacing an entire motor from what i understood the mounting screw was stripped. But if a prop screw is missing that can be bad to use 3 screws because of balancing. I'd rather use 2 screws than 3 if its a prop adapter screw.

    motors

    If you're using lock tight i wouldn't worry so much about using 3 out of 4 screws. I've ran on 2 screws on 2205/2300kv motors before with a slightly generous amount of blue locktight. Zero problems. :] I am not worried about them coming undone but with 2 screws I was a little worried about...

    Crap... (Pro Tip on Motor Mounting) + update on failure

    Yea, I totally noticed the other day. I thought it came with an extra set of screws. But it came with a 4mm and 5mm option. :[ I totally grounded a screw.

    PID Loop Time???

    Title says just about says it all. I have litterally no idea what to do with these loop times..... Do they change for different ESCs? Do they change for flight board? Do they change for motors? Jesus please help x-x (Using cleanflight+Naze32 if that matters)

    Crap... (Pro Tip on Motor Mounting) + update on failure

    UPDATE!!! Just learned about something that may have potentially caused this failure. Soldering motor wires directly onto an esc is only supposed to be done if you have a properly grounded soldering gun. If not you can basically introduce static to your esc and cause premature failure. It's hard...

    Crap... (Pro Tip on Motor Mounting) + update on failure

    I went out and got a new frame that was 1mm thicker to avoid this when the new motor comes in tomorrow. :] Either way I went from a ZMR chinese knock off to a shendrones mixuko (195mm) :D!! But the zmr clone worked amazing to learn onthe machining was just kind of a pain. Would still recommend...

    My second build!

    12a escs on a 2205? I'm not super savvy on how the electrical works. But the motors can draw like 24a burst and 17a continuous. I here to over shoot the motor continuous current by 10-20%. That's kind of the only info I have on escs

    I just think it was weird that it worked perfect for 4 minutes and decided to commit suicide.

    Crap... (Pro Tip on Motor Mounting) + update on failure

    So I just pulled a huge noob move... I got some brand new Emax 2205/2300kv Red bottoms that I was suuuuuuper stoked to get out and fly. Turns out, they only come with 1 size mounting screw and the coils sit pretty low. [CAUTION!!!] So if you have anything less than a 4mm arm you WILL ground your...

    Props are just props right? Wrong... (Story time)

    Awesome!!! I'm having trouble getting into FPV... Money has been so tight I've had to get my fix in LoS for so long now it's all I no how to do. Even though all of my FPV Gear is set up I see this being a hard transition :I ... P.S. All of my flight footage is from my FPV camera while I fly LoS...

    Props are just props right? Wrong... (Story time)

    On your first build it might seem like you can just choose what type of props you want to throw on your model... If props selection doesn't seem like a big deal to you now let me try to shed some light on the subject. I am currently still flying my first build. When I finished putting...

    how to connect flysky i6 receiver to ardupilot 2.5(wiring)

    Check all of your connections. Depending on your flight controller software you may need to select that it is a "x quad" if tricopter is the default. It's also possible that you have a bad ESC or motor. If your 4th motor is twitching you have a bad ESC and should uninstall it before something...

    Awesome drone store

    http://roamwithadrone.com/pages/about-us/ It has a disclaimer at the bottom. Maybe they only sell threw amazon. Or sell items from amazon. It's unclear to me.

    how to connect flysky i6 receiver to ardupilot 2.5(wiring)

    You need to bind your receiver to your transmitter. Your receiver(Ardupilot 2.5) should have came with a bind plug.

    ??? about lipo batteries

    Shame. But just to make sure you got a definitive answer on your main question. 3.7v per cell is about the best storage rate for your batteries. 3s = 11.1 / 4s = 14.8 / 6s = 22.2 and so forth. Your batteries might be going bad fast if they are being over discharged(Using a prop with too much...

    Performance Props

    Electronic speed controller. Each motor is attached to one. They are the things that determine how much energy flows threw your motors. If you add to much air resistance to your props it will overheat them and in many cases they will burn out mid-flight and that's not fun. :P Different motors...
