    Help! My Quad doesn't takeoff

    My quad has flown twice till now but once I unplug power and re-power the quad it just acts up. I saw in the Blackbox that it just spools up Motor 1 and 4 (by the way I am only increasing throttle here and not giving any extra inputs) whereas Motor 2 and 3 just slow down or don't keep up with...

    Motors vibrating/wobbling, balancing issue ?

    I built my first drone, 450 size it does fly, but I've noticed the arms are going wobbly sometimes, and I am afraid that it can snap the arm (3D printed). Arms are not very very solid, you can slightly twist them with a hand, but I don't believe that's the build/print issue. I was thinking it...

    Help! Racestar Brushless BR2205 Motor issues

    I'm having issues with my quadcopter's motors. I'm using Racestar BR 2205 brushless motors, but when I mount them to the frame and test the motors in Cleanflight, they spin slowly and make a rubbing/grinding like noise (I'll attach a video). But when I unscrew the motor from the frame and test...

    New Hypetrain motors major problem!

    Broke a motor shaft.

    Hi, I was flying a ZMR250 quad yesterday. I gave it a plenty of height, like ~200ft or so then a bird came out of nowhere and crashed into the quad. The bird (a sparrow) was cut into pieces(still feeling bad about it). And I was sure that my quad will soon be in pieces too but it wasn't in...

    Idiots Fly Drone Over Bridge

    What can be done? I'm stunned how many people in the comments believe this is ok... People like this need to be held accountable before someone gets seriously hurt. That drone could have easily have fallen into those cars... then what?

    Suggestions on FPV kit

    I'm currently flying a DIY 450 size quad with a Pixhawk P4 controller. Beginning to get the hang of it. I bought a $99 FPV kit to try that out, but it is absolute total junk. It's not even good enough to get a sense of what FPV is like. The picture is washed out for about a 3rd of the view...
