- What are you calling heavy lift capable? 4 pounds, 8 pounds, 16 pounds? - Long flight time and heavy lifting are almost polar opposites, something to consider because trying to do both makes it a very expensive idea. Max efficiency is going to come from high voltage low kV motors, plan on 6s...

Am I missing something, for hobby use as stated on FAA site - .55-55 pounds requires registration online, above 55 pounds requires a different type of registration.

The whole resolved ticket problem isn't special to them but it is annoying as hell. Most credit cards at least use to have a warranty program in addition to filing a complaint. We had a chipper once that the company went under while the machine was in warranty, the credit card company ended up...

Yea, it is too blurry to tell for sure. Far as the blue light, flashing, it is possible that was normal? Not sure if it should have been solid when on battery or not. When you plug it into the computer and it lights up, can you connect to it? It is most likely toast with the smoke but won't...

Also, look closely at all your solder points, maybe a solder tail bridged. Question would be why did it smoke to prevent it next time.

Did you move the power wires prior to testing to get the voltage at the Lux? The blue light was a good start. Will look at the pictures from computer, iPhone too small? Did you try usb to see if it still connects? I am surprised it smoked, your 4s battery cannot provide enough volts to the...

Welcome to the club, I have had video in my house and no video when powering up in the backyard. This is also why you cannot find many FPV/Drone guys excited about riding on their drone. It is possible the ESC or Motor was damaged, might just been a loose wire. Same with the Lux, especially...

Are you talking about the block on the PDB? Don't worry about that melted spot. If there is something on the FC, it is out of focus. If you grab that multimeter after work, you should be able to confirm zero volts on your Aux2 and at your FC. And you don't need to use those holes. a voltage...

I am not seeing camera power wires? You said you have Aux2 to power your camera but it looks like those are the wires running up to flight controller?

If you do not use those holes, you cannot power anything through Aux2

I haven't used those ESCs, but I'll be interested to know if they give you any trouble once your Flight Controller is working. I have one set of DJI escs from their 310 system that if I remember correctly, did not like having their positive wire connected to nothing. These seem to be similar...

If you are using AUX2 but do not have a Pololu installed or jumper the Pololu pin stops, you have no power at those wires. This part of the PDB is used generally for a 5 volt step down to power a Naze32 or similar. So I don't know how it would have previously started off battery power alone...

I have not used this pdb so I am a little in the dark on what it does with positive from escs. A couple more questions. Using the quick swap, what resoldering did you do on the Lux for swapping motor and esc? What kind of ESCs are those? The small wires coming off the esc brown, red, yellow...

Plan on about $20-25 for an average multimeter. Short of doing something you shouldn't with it, it will probably last you the next 10-20 years. Good for drones, cars, and houses, batteries.

Also, if you got a voltmeter, check your supply voltage at the Lux board.

If it powers fine on the usb but not on the battery, you almost have to have a failed connection between your battery and Flight Controller? Or not providing proper voltage. Are you feeding power directly from the battery to the flight controller? Looks like the Lux can handle up to 6S on...

Wiring harness that size are a pain. One thing I have done is limit the number of joints per spot. If you had 8 wires cut four of them maybe an inch or two longer depending on how much room you have to work with. Move up wire and open a section of insulation for the additional 4. Or...

Connect your radio to your computer. With the sticks centered, what does it show for positioning of the channels on the graph? If one of them is not centered, try trimming it to center. I suppose it possible that you bumped one of your trims out of whack and the only way to check is going to...

Not sure but I doubt receiver. Not familiar with this radio, but I believe you should have usb for computer connection? Center trims and try a settings factory reset if available. If you power up and the red light starts blinking, how many blinks are you getting in the pattern. 3 - gps error...

Are you getting an error when doing the firmware upgrade? Or is it appear successful and just doesn't seem to be recognizing the update?
