    Another bad motor??? What am I doing wrong?

    Beginner... 2nd flight, this time in a park. Was able to hover and move around10-20 yards for about a minute or so. But then it took a nose dive with a ground flip from about 4 ft. It bent one of the props but I was able to bend it back pretty close to orginal. Went to take off.... and..... One...

    Bad motor after 5 sec?

    On my first build of an xbird miniquad all motors checked out during open pilot wizard set ups. Then I flew and one motor crapped out (just oscillates back and forth) after about 5 sec of flying. What would cause that? BTW I did isolate it to the motor and not the esc. Also when i replace...

    How many motor mount bolts?

    This is my first build and I have an iFlight xBird 250 class build kit. I started to mount the motors and there were only 6 screws. I emailed the vendor, Gothelirc, and told them I was 8 screws short. They said itmismonly 2'screws per motor mount and that they would send me 2 more. Is that...

    How to mount fat shark pilot HD on a miniquad?

    I just got the fat shark pilot hd v2 and I am trying to figure out how to mount the thing. I would love to lose the metal case. i have seen a printed 3d version for the camera and case but it looks too heavy. Saw someone else try to make a moldable rubber seat for it. I might try that. Any...

    Group Build 2015, FPV Racing Quad

    Another stupid question from a newbie. Is that all of the build you are going to show? I just bought the iflight 250 so your posts here are going to be very helpful. Hopefully you are just very busy and the rest of the build is later? Or should I look at the 2014 build and use that as a guide?

    graupner mz 12 setup for a quadcopter??

    I will be starting my first build of a 250 class fpv mini quad. I got a graupner mz12 6 channel radio for it. I was reading the instructions and they talk about 2 modes, a plan and a helicopter. A quad is not really either is it. I am guess that a plane comes closest. But what do I use?

    Wiring and power for FS Pilot HD camera

    I am a beginner and this is my first build. I have a question. I bought most of my stuff at Gotheli for a 200 FPV quadcopter. For FPV they suggested the fatshark Pilot HD V2 for fpv flying and recording. I got a FlySight 5.8ghz TX/RX FPV kit 200mw. But I was looking at the camera. Its got...

    Huge missed opportunity.... I think

    So I am about a day deep into calling multirotor stores, reading forum post, watching youtube builds. And I am really surprised to see that there is no such thing as a fully RTF Multirotor FPV racer. Not only that but the ARF, BNF, and RTF kits really come with no assembly/ operation...

    Entry level FPV racer?

    I have had a Parrot Bebop since last Nov. Tons of fun. I recently got a Zeiss Cinemizer. That doubled the fun. So now I have the hots to try racing. The bebop has FPV but its a bit laggy, especially beyond about 60m. And while it can go about 30mph, tight turns are not so tight. So a...
