Here is a pic of the nicer solder joint & from what I can see the wires are not "pre-tin'd". That in combination with the crappy bullet connectors that are not all consistently tight I would re-solder the bullet connector & once the bullet connector is installed maybe heat shrink the connector...

I have since turned the LVC off as well and use this as my pre-flight battery checker & "on aircraft" alarm. I also use my DX8 timer to remind me... http://www.maxamps.com/LVA-Tester-1-8.htm

Yup

What Kv Suppos are you guys flying?

I am replacing the motors all together, no more chances for me. :shrug:

Here was the prior flight that I'm happy it didn't happen on! :dejection:

Good info Kloner, thanks for that!

Anytime! I'll report as soon as I get them, I'm just crossing my fingers so I can toss on my FPV gear finally

I haven't received them yet but should be good based on them being tested with a 30amp ESC on the specs page. I verified the first was a bad motor not an ESC, second flip I swapped the 2nd flipping side motor to a different arm and flip happened on the new side. My results show horrible motors

Yup, after the first few times it went away with a new motor and 20 flights or so later... BAM AGAIN. I'm loading another video that shows how high I was just minutes before, it shows how luck I am it happened after my high flying.

I'll be using "2" 3S 2250's in parallel. 10" Graupners & 9" Graupners will be tested too. Whatever causes hover at mid stick in manual flight mode.

I'm switching to T-motors MT-2212-16's (750Kv) also now looking at the MT-2814 (770Kv)

Share why your ditching the DJI motors... Here is my reason finally caught on tape after 4 prior random flips. I'm done with the DJI motors & bullet connectors. T-motors MT-2212-16's (750Kv) are on their way! Also looking at the MT-2814 (770Kv)

I have a tiny drift to the right so I'll need to do this also

Yup, to get over 10% minimum throttle my DX8 required I enter the throttle end point and change the first value from 100% to around 70% for the pre-set bind. Then change that first throttle end point value back to 100%.

Nice, have any pics of how you completed the install?

Lol

Leaning towards the T-motors! Club heli has the 750Kv 2212-16 for like $42 bucks so that seems to be the best option for me right now.

It's actually the motors making the noise :-/ i use this... http://www.maxamps.com/LVA-Tester-1-8.htm

Ahhh, that's a good one... I shouldn't assume. lol
