So I got my first successful LOS flight out of my YKS250, finally!
The previous 3 or 4 flights resulted in crashes, broken motors, bad ESC, etc, etc, etc.

Installed 4 new Emax 2204/2300kv motors with Emax 12A Simon series ESCs.
All programmed by LibrePilot, for now.

Specs:
250 carbon frame
2204/2300kv Emax
12A Simon series Emax ESC
Matek v3 PDB
CC3D w/LibrePilot
FPV cam - none for now

Until I get very comfortable flying LOS in different rates, I am not jumping into FPV right now.
Soon though! :)

I'm quite jealous about all the area you have to fly in, just by stepping out the back door.

I'm taking as much advantage while I can.
Really surprised the farmer hasn't begun tilling and planting yet. The last 3 years it's been corn.
It's definitely ideal for learning and not too bad when crashing. :)
 
Quite enjoyed watching that, thanks. You can definitely see a little bit of roll to the right, let us know if you figure out what it is. I live in a small town and I'm lucky that I have a couple big open parks very close to me. Right at the end of the park there is a shooting range (yes contrary to rumours, we do allow guns in Canada) which I try to stay away from. Don't want to be hearing "Yeehaw target practice" hahaha

Thanks RENOV8R.
The roll was caused by my FC/PDB stack being loose. One of the crashes I had before this flight sheared the nylon screw heads clean off causing the stack to be unlevel so the FC was overcompensating for it.
Since then I have hot glued the stack level again and got 2 more batteries. I hope the weather will cooperate this weekend for a couple more flights.
