    When one motor starts slower than the rest.

    The symptoms I am talking about are on motors that have no signs of binding.

    When one motor starts slower than the rest.

    Have you ever had one motor that always starts slower than the rest? Your esc's are calibrated properly and even if you move the motor over to another esc it still has a "lazy start"? I wanted to start a conversation on this and come to some type of consensus on the possible causes. The...

    Oh great... is this true? (registration)

    Maybe every uav over a certain weight will need (as part of the registration process will "require") a transponder. That is the only way I can see them enforcing anything.

    Lipo 1 big or 2 small

    There are many added benefits of a dual setup. Smaller connectors and main conductors to the PDB. Balance, being able to have your gps puck in the center and a battery on either side vs one battery in the center and the puck and imu offset etc.

    Group Build 2015, FPV Racing Quad

    As many of you know the Immersion Vortex has become extremely popular. I believe it is a 285 sized frame. Does this mean it is not allowed in most races? Being over the 250 spec, that is. They have sold thousands of them. it would be strange to me if they didn't meet the requirements.

    i had no problem installing it on windows 10 but it wouldn't work until I uninstalled and reinstalled the windriver with the fc plugged in and powered up.

    help with buying new multi.

    I joined the solo facebook group because I really wanted to try something other than dji. A month on that forum made me realize that the alternatives to phantom 3 aren't so great. Solo has its own problems and lots of them.

    Tmotor Air gear combo kits.

    You gotta figure these kits compared to separate components would be half the price or less than half the price. Seems like they had to cut a few corners. Or maybe I was very unlucky. I did notice that most guys running the 2205-2000 motors are not using the air15a esc's. There must be a...

    What's a good night vision camera?

    But they won't want a civilian piloting it :) Also, cant put one of those 12 billion candle power lights on a uav.

    What's a good night vision camera?

    In reality the police probably don't want or need your help. If it is a serious event they will bring in their own chopper with infrared. They sure as hell wont want a UAV in the air buzzing around.

    The quality of the people here are second to none. More older guys on average that other forums. Higher ratio of commercial users as well.

    T-Motor 40A -400MHz ESC Questions

    When I was building my first big rig I would have loved to have an experienced guy that local to me for peace of mind help setting up the fc and tx bit I gotta say this forum was a very close second to having a real person.

    T-Motor 40A -400MHz ESC Questions

    Looking at tmotor data I can assure you, you are not overpowered @ 7kg. I think the motor selection is probably bang on. 950 grams of thrust x 8, less 10% or so for coax efficiency loss. No way you are over powered.

    Current feeling on U7 and equivalent KDE?

    I think most of us will agree that tmotors posted specs are pretty much bang on. Good, honest engineering data that we can take and apply in the design of a new aircraft. I question what advantage a company hopes to assume by stretching numbers. Fluffing up components to look more...
