Awesome, that really helps. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you for your input. I had a feeling that the pop would be something bad. I guess this hobby is mostly trial and error to fix the aftermath of crashes.

Hey everyone, Today I finished building my zmr250 quad and had a "successful" maiden flight (a short one because the pitch was in reversed orientation). Anyways, after i swapped the pitch orientation in librepilot, I plugged my quad up to the battery, and an ESC started blinking red (motor 2). I...

Another thing I forgot to point out is that the ESC's don't have any burn marks. UPDATE: I swapped the two good ESC's on the "bad" motors and the motors both spun. I guess I'll have to wait another week for spare ESC's. (lesson learned). Thanks, John, for your help.

I think I got too excited to get it up in the air... (hastiness never works too well). When I removed the wires to swap directions, I guess I added too much solder and reached some part of the ESC that it shouldn't have. (But no contacts were touching each other, i.e. the metal "bubbles" were...

Hello all! Yesterday I put all the parts to my zmr250 together, but I had the motor orientation swapped on all 4 motors. After reversing the motor leads, I then ran through my CC3D setup wizard. However, once I plugged the battery in two of my motors started smoking. I looked at my solder job...

Ok thanks for the recommendation on the radio tx/rx. For the flight controller, what do you use the Naze32 for? Like I said, I would like to use this quad for fpv, and the CC3D has gotten lots of use for fpv purposes. Thanks, -Natebird

Ok, I am new to the RC "world" but have some basic knowledge about it. I am going to build my first quad, for FPV purposes. Here goes... Frame: QAV500 V2 with 500mm G10 arms. Flight Controller: Open Pilot CC3D. Motors: SunnySky V2216-12 800Kv. ESC: Velotech Magic 30A simonK flashed. Props: HQ...

Yes I know, I have one. Quick question, For the kk board, Is there a difference between the versions? ie: kk2.0, kk2.1, kk2.1.5 Is there one that is better than the other? Or ones that i should avoid? Thanks, Natebird.:)

Okay, that's reassuring and nice to know.

So the 9x is okay to get, or is it junk too?

Haha... I don't want to spend that much yet... But I do agree it is probably a very good radio.

I am going to use the 9x... unless there is something wrong. Also I may get a frsky transmitter/receiver (whichever one plugs in to the back).

I do understand that, But I the 250 is too small for me and 450 too big I think. 360 is in the middle... just right!! The frame I have chosen has lots of amenities (gopro "box" integrated in it ect) so I think I will stick with that. As of the FCU I really dont know much about them... I am a...

Thanks, So I will use this setup apc 8x5e props (and pushers) 980kv sunnysky and 3s 2200mah lipo Along with the kk2.1.5 board My question is if it weighs 1000g then I want around 550g of thrust per motor Is there a website I can try to find this with? I have tried ecalc but don't want to...
