So i'm feeling good with my flying skills so far.....

I believe i'm ready to push the envelope a touch with some rolls and flips on straight aways. I believe i'm in a standard stable mode. How do I get the quad to flip and roll? Is there a way to set the FS I6 for different fly modes is there a flight mode that has auto hover but lets
 
SWD should be set up for your three flight modes. Up is attitude (stable), middle is rattitude (still auto-level but can do flips), bottom is rate mode which is full manual control (no auto-level). If you havn't plugged in your flight controller to your computer I suggest it as you can take a look at the rates for pitch/roll and you can see how fast you will be able to flip. Practice your flips at higher altitude so you have more time to correct.

How to I do that? LOL I'm in open pilot and not sure what i'm looking at. How do I assign a channel to SWC switch and then tell openpilot to use it
 
On openpilot, on the transmitter tab it will show you what channels are what. On your radio as of stock should have the SWD switch on channel 5 and channel 6 is left blank and open to assign it to arm/disarm (which is what most pilots do). When you are in the transmitter tab in openpilot flip all your switches on your radio and see what ones do stuff.

Okay I'm once again in need of help brotha!

So I flew in rattitude today and had great success until battery number 2 when I tried a flip much too low and crashed hard. Landed upside down and broke the left rear arm. I replaced the arm but seems the motor is not working. All other motors spin but the crashed one. So I guess I need a new one. I can hear it grinding a little bit when I manually turn it. Seems all the connections to the esc are good so i'm going to replace the motor. Problem is which to I get. LOL ccw or cw?

I took it apart and it looks like it I bent it a tiny bit. That is the grinding. I can see where it rubs. Would that cause it to stop working though because it has no life. LOL

Its a brushless motor so its magnets that make it spin. If it rubs it cant get spinning.

that is what I was thinking but I figured it would at least try but no nada. LOL I've got a new one on the way and I've picked up a new project of converting my Hubsan to custom micro quad frame for down time. LOL

Go to Librepilot. Librepilot took over open pilot and has the more up to date firmware. Ive flown with qav250, Emax night hawk and ZMR 250 base settings. One of those is way better then the rest ( cant remember which one because I fiddle around so often) I also noticed that the base settings are different in libre pilot compared to open pilot. also google Eachine racer pid settings and you can find pid setups people are using that you can try. One more thing as I've been learning acro/rate, I found that you can switch back and forth mid flight from 1-2-3 so if you get in trouble you can flip the switch to help stabilize the quad. I found that out after a lot of crashing in acro/rate. ha ha!
