Well, I had a different kinda problem when I built my first quad. An S500(affectionately referred to as "Frankendrone"). When I would start to lift off it would twist to the right about 90deg. and then kinda flip over. I fought with that thing for over a month thinking something was wrong...

Hey FPV...............if this hobby don't drive you nutzo it's because you were nutzo to begin with. Luckily, I was already nutzo before I started..........so no problems.

Hey Jeff.............seems that the main problems are related to the GPS function. The toilet bowl hover and running away. A couple guys on a Syma Facebook group seem to have cured this problem. The GPS calibration has got to be done precisely............and what they have done is buy a...

Glad I could help, Vivitern.................

I'm opting for firewood with mine...................

Oh, so you got some of them trees with drone magnets in them also.............

Yeah, Phil, that looks like where it all started. Other then a short caused by bad solder job, I think if the power for the FC was the problem then there would have been damage to your FC itself.............

That is some FINE flying...........right up until the bush................

Phil...............uh, are you going fishing?????

Hey Phil.........that maybe where it all started. If that connection was bad, you'd get a voltage spike and with 12amps behind it that could translate to way to much voltage, which would then burn the motor creating more voltage spike and that would do the ESC............oh, the black...

Phil...........just so you know.........your PDB doesn't "feed" your ESCs. They draw as needed from you PDB. If your ESCs are drawing only 10a then that is all that is being feed thru your PDB. Also, I don't like gainsaying other members, but EVERY program that is used to program FCs that...

Luther...................as noted you should learn to "fly" your quad as that is the best possible way to get out of trouble if you find yourself in trouble. For about $100 you can get a decent toy quad that will be about the same size and the same flight characteristics but much shorter flight...

Hate that autonomous mode when it screws up..........I think that might be mine......hold on(answers telephone)........nevermind, mines been found in Ohio............

I use this.............. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Imax-B6AC-50W-AC-DC-Dual-Power-Balance-Charger-For-RC-Lipo-NiCd-Battery/252338832138?hash=item3ac091030a:g:-eQAAOSwdU1W~Jbo

Damn.........that's some pretty ballsy flying, James....................

Ok, found some info on those motors. You should be fine since you got a burst of 30a and overcurrent protection........Just remember that you are going to be running a 1inch bigger prop............

Hell, that's half the thrill......................

Hey Cody..........after looking at that frame it doesn't look like you should have any problem with the 28mm motors. But I wouldn't go any wider/bigger..... Do yourself a favor and get the Accessory kit. (https://hobbyking.com/en_us/ntm-prop-drive-28-series-accessory-pack.html). While there...

I have no idea......they in Michigan, I'm in Mississippi................

Hey Black Ops.................have you considered building one from a kit??? With the Flysky Tx/Rx Frankendrone comes in at $300(give or take a few bucks). It's kinda barebones and the camera is a GoPro knockoff........ http://quadcopterforum.com/threads/frankendrone-in-flight.13095/
