I just bought one of these from HK for use with my MW328p fc figured out all the wiring and connections with a great deal of help from the diagrams on minim's website (Im very much new to all this electronics gear so I have to be pretty systematic when doing this stuff) Ive got the boot-up...

currently Im using a single 2200mah flight battery and averaging 5-7mins in the air (depending on weather I throw her about abit or if Im fighting wind drift constantly) I had originally planned on sorting myself a single 4000+mah battery once Id got the quad flying right but I was wondering...

might sound a total noob approach (tbf I am one afterall) but I found collet versions to be a right pain in the s-shoot but at the sametime the grub screw versions aernt exactly brilliant either, both can work loose quite easily (even using thread locker on the grub screw version). I found that...

Ive seen similiar uses on a quad myself but they were setup to fold inwards so were only usable as retracting struts. it just occured to me at the time that if you have them folding up outwards you could make them dual-usage (plus the folding inwards variaty would inevitably cause issues if you...

smallish update... after spending an age looking for some decent prop guards and a retracting gear setup that I actually liked the look of I gave up, what guards I could find were slated in reviews (even the CF types) and the landing gears just looked bulky and combersome. finally came to the...

after careful research and consideration I initially went with a Dji 450 clone frame kit from Chinaland that came with pretty much everything Id need to build my first quad (a complete ATF kit so to speak) After following the in places rather badly translated instructions as best I could (being...

just to clearly define something ere, I did actually ask a "noob" type of question purely becuase im a forementioned "noob":D this is my first multirotor build and my first time flying something a little more involved than a RTF straight out the box quad, that said I have no problem admitting...

currently my hover is around the 35% throttle mark with 10x45's and 42-42% mark with 8x45's with default p/curve settings but Ill soon be adding around 200g of weight to the frame with a custom landing gear mod Ill be building so that might hopefully see it around the 50% hover on 10x45's

sooooooo.... this is gonna sound like a completely noob Q but when it comes to flying my first build Quad its kinda understandable and Id rather err on the side of caution. (just so you know why Im asking....) as I mentioned in my intro I recently built my first Multirotor (F450, idiot proof...

just built it into a new frame last night (x-mode alien) and only done a couple of test hovers (so far so good) The FC I chose is probably the most simplistic and user freindly one available right now, ideal for beginner builds like mine, it has the most basic setup with permanent auto-leveling...

formalities out the way first me thinks. Im Lee, nice to meet you all, nice to be met. sooooooooo, started getting multirotor interested a while ago now and its slowly been progressing into a full grown addiction. started small (as many advised me to) with small nanocopters like the hubsans...
