    Parallel charging high-capacity/high-voltage LiPo

    Also ordering a set of those modulars from Progressive. Little more spendy, but it only takes a cheap 6 port balance board to melt once and you lost any savings.

    Parallel charging high-capacity/high-voltage LiPo

    Same boat, would rather start off with a working ps then see about a server ps or what not. Though I am looking at the Junsi 350watt supply to keep cost down. I only do 3s/4s and it would give still give me 4x+ watts that I am currently working with. I start maxing that, I will then consider...

    Battery Charger

    If your talking about the 100 watt channel charger you mentioned above, isn't going to be able to give you 6 amps at 6s. That's 130 watts at 3.7 volts per cell and it only gets worse as voltage increases. You could parallel charge on a higher watt per channel when you wanted to charge...

    Battery Charger

    On that note, I Also would skip any 4x-xxxwatts, including the 4x100 mentioned above if your goal is one battery at a time. Dynamite Passport Ultra Force 220 watt. Per specs it uses AC power so it keeps the cost down but is capable of charging fast enough to be safe. I have never used this...

    Battery Charger

    I would skip the X4 #44151 for what you want to do. It looks like it tops out at 50 watts per channel which on 6S is going to give you barely 2.0 amps. Charging a 75% drained 10,000 mah pack is going to take almost 4 hours. To charge 7.5 ah in 1 hour you need a charger that can push 25.2 volts...

    Battery Charger

    How fast are you hoping to do it? That's really the money question. 2 hours, 1 hour, 30 minutes per 10,000 mah at 22.2 Volts.

    Quad Fame 52mm X 42mm need Gain Settings ?

    Sounds like oscillation was worse on higher pids? Is the frame capable of supporting the longer arms? Could be a vibration induced problem. Set the frame up on four motor boxes and apply a little pressure just to see how much give you have and compare it your 550. The odd shape could cause...

    Quad Fame 52mm X 42mm need Gain Settings ?

    Did it oscillate in the first flight at all? If adding gain caused new oscillation, I would probably back it down. Also, when you said rudder stick caused loss of control, were you already in hover adding yaw input or just trying to throttle up? Self level mode or Attitude? Check your...

    The right esc...

    *Note, I have never used missed matched escs but I don't think it would cause a problem if the ESCs/Motors/FC are all compatible. If you are using oneshot or damped light, maybe disable just in case the unknown esc does not like those setting. What ESC firmware?

    The right esc...

    My first guess would be to re-calibrate the escs and double check the transmitter ends points in your software. Do your motors spin on arm or not? If yes, you could try bumping your minimum throttle up a touch if that is an option. Not sure either of those will help, because it is starting...

    Quad Fame 52mm X 42mm need Gain Settings ?

    Double check your motor directions and props. The only time I have had your described problem is when I get the motors plugged in the wrong order and as the flight controller tries to correct it gets the exact opposite response which just increases the error correction the direction. Gains...

    Naze32 Bootloader

    Anyone else having this problem, the solution I found was to keep re-flashing. I re-flashed maybe 8-10 times successfully with some mixed in fails and randomly it started working normal. Not sure what changed or why, but my last 3-4 flashes have not required a bootloader short.

    f550 left turn into ground

    If adding the weight back on at some point causes it to start up again, I would replace the escs on the side that drops. You are not noticing it now, but you are running the rig at a lower weight which would reduce the load on the motor/esc. I wouldn't think the FC would care too much about...

    f550 left turn into ground

    If it happens each time about the same time, try letting it spool up on the ground and just idle below take off thurst. Check motors esc for heating after a bit. Any chance that system has a flight log?

    f550 left turn into ground

    ESC shutting down due to overheating if connections all seem good? Haven't had it happen but possible?

    Damped Light

    I just started practicing flips and rolls. Practicing on a very plush yard that now has some version of Ufo crop signs in areas but I have hit hard enough that they hear the impact inside with doors/windows shut. I have had the wife ask me what I broke when I come inside for batteries..... That...

    Damped Light

    Still working on it but have figured it out from reading Betaflight info and other threads with Borris. It is a noise problem on the 6500 gyro and active braking affecting the yaw axis On the one build I switched to a SP Racing F3, 6050 gyro. Noise and twitch completely gone using same pids...

    Damped Light

    On two different builds, emax rs2205 and Multistar 2204, I am getting a squeak/high pitch noise from the motors during flight. Seems to occur with motor speed changes, I can force the noise by throttling up/down causing the quad to hop. Both builds use dys XM20s. Overall flight seems good, may...
