    Help! Motors Won't Spin Now -- S500 Quad with RTFHawk

    Might try re-calibrating your ESCs one at a time and see if the motor will spin up then like Motopreserve mentioned in post 2.

    Help! Motors Won't Spin Now -- S500 Quad with RTFHawk

    If you fly more than one model with your transmitter, make sure you have it set to your s500 and not something else.

    Help! Motors Won't Spin Now -- S500 Quad with RTFHawk

    Unplug the gimbal and verify the problem still exists without it plugged in.

    Good Video, Unfortunately....

    I always read comments like that on the net from folks across the pond. Funny how their attitude changes when they visit me and I slide one of my AKs into their hands. Their eyes always light up like it's Christmas. Just sayin.....................;) We are definitely on our way there, no...

    Mark the motor that was attached to the fizzy ESC and keep an eye on it for sure.

    For some reason with the name of MadMonkey and being from Texas, I kinda had a weird feeling you owned a Saiga.

    Windows 10

    How big of a download is it? Since there aren't any foreseeable bugs with Mission Planner, I may download it on my laptop as well.

    Need camera reccomendations

    Nothing wrong with being focused on budget. I honestly don't know what to focus on right now. In the end I want to end up with something flyable that I can add to my fleet. It seems the folks flying a nex (and gimbal) are doing it with noticeably smaller birds than with a GH4. That's what put...
