Is it because this forum is to advanced for newbie questions? Thank You Gene

I noticed today that when I turn TX on and plug battery into quad after arming the KK 2 board I get a slow beep after. Aux is on and it seems to fly ok. Battery is fully charged. Not noticing any issues with hovering. Also I noticed when setting the min voltage on KK 2 board at 105 with a 3...

I understand what you are saying Bart, and especially how some abuse the hobby by going to far. I understand that there has to be rules and limitations for certain groups of flyers. But do not eliminate the fact that the FAA works as part of our government and with our governments past record...

My two cents. This is all about money, a way to tax, regulate and grease the palms of elected political people. It is that simple. I hate to bring this into the post but I have been around long enough to recognize this all to familiar prerequisit of how our government sets things up. Gene

For what it is worth, I am a beginner and of course new with Quads. I went through a couple mini quads until I found the U816A. It has been a learning experience but what I do know is I have not had any hardware issues outside of a few crash's and it did not break. I practice almost every day...

This Thread has been a great learning experience for me. Thank you all. Gene

If only people had used a little common sense when flying their crafts. This might not have been an issue. Gene

+2 on that one. Gene

Thank you for your honest opinion. Gene

I saw these on sale. Ok guys what is your opinion. Any feedback on these and the seller?? http://www.chinahobbyline.com/ProductShow.asp?id=2365 Gene

NO those are Angel cheapy motors. I made that mistake when I ordered my SunnySky Motors. Had to re order after PeeDee gave me the right info and link. These are the ones you want to buy and they are dang good motors...

I like your thoughts on small battery to start out with. Makes sense. One of the members here "PeeDee" once told me that 5 minutes of battery for a beginner could seem like a lifetime.. But I do get your point about the smaller battery and less power. I found on my first flight that my...

Even with the sharpest skills, flying in a public area could result in disaster if there is mechanical failure and remember murphies law. If it can happen, it will happen. Gene

I had my first test flight this morning when the there was no wind. I took off and hovered 4 times. Managed to maneuver out in front of me and back. Had 2 safe landings and 2 bad ones. I broke two props and the battery came loose on last landing. I found that when I was hovering that it would...

Do you live in the USA? PM Sent If so I think I can help you. There are videos for the proper order of things but they need to be Taranis/X8R/KK2/QBrain board specific. Gene

I found the video on calibrating the Q-Brain ESC's. Quite simple. Now I need to find out how to set up the Taranis Aux channel for the KK Board Self Leveling. I don't know yet where to look to set this up on the Taranis. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Pete Gene

I found out that I had the servo wires hooked up wrong. Once I straightened out the order of the wires from KK 2 board to the RX, I was able to Arm the KK 2 board. But I still needed to set the TX Sticks in the right order. i then set the motor configuration and direction of motors. I set up...

Yes I set the X configuration and direction of motors up. I did not mess with the gains. It still will not arm if I turn on TX first and then the Quad. I do get a solid green light on RX. No errors or beeps on main screen of KK2. Does it matter in what order you hook up the RX cables to the...

I have bound the X8R RX with the Taranis TX, hooked up all the servo wires from KK2 board to the RX. I turn on the Taranis TX and get a green light on the X8R RX. No power to the motors when I move stick up. The motors do twitch when I turn TX on. Any ideas Thanks Gene
