    Flipping quad

    This quad has caused me so much trouble... Once again, it is flipping on takeoff, but now it spins too. The motors are all in the right positions and the props are set up correctly. Not sure what to do here... https://vid.me/7gqt

    Motors: Facing Up vs. Facing Down

    So I have been wondering this for a while now. I would say the majority of copters are using motors that are facing up(pulling?), though there are some copters that have the motors facing down(pushing?). What is the difference between this? Is one more efficient than the other?

    Hexacopter spinning while in flight

    So I finally got my hexacopter up in the air, but now it spins mid flight(yaw)... I'm thinking maybe a weight problem. It is running on a Pixhawk.

    Mounting hardware for Tarot 680Pro?

    So I have my 680Pro assembled and soldered, my one problem is the motor mounting hardware.

If so, what would fit?

    Do I need a BEC?

    So I just bought 6 Afro 30A onto ESCs for my new hexacopter. I did not realize that these didn't have BECs when I bought them so I was wondering if I need external BECs for my ESCs. I am using 6 800v SunnySky motors and a 4s 6200mAh lipo.
