    First quad, first build, need help

    It flies!! I crashed it and broke some stuff. But it flies! I actually did a factory reset on the KK2 board and it flew pretty well. Maybe a little to responsive. Once I make some repairs I may have to try and slow it down a little until I get better at flying it.

    Thank you very much for your input. This is my first RC anything that didn't come from walmart or radio shack and there SO much to learn.

    There is not enough response to any controls other than throttle. When you give it inputs from the radio you can tell that there is a slight change in the quad. But certainly not enough to actually steer it.

    First quad, first build, need help

    It flys! Took a LONG time to get it in te air. But it flies! It has no responsiveness in any controls except for the throttle though. I'm assuming I need to change the gains and settings. Anyone have a link to good stettings for a KK2 x-quad??

    First quad, first build, need help

    Well... I have messed with my motors quite a bit. I loosened the clip on the bottom of the motor just a hair and I ran the motors at about 75% throttle for 5 min. It appears that they may have "broken in". They now feel the same and also start at the same time when I throttle up. I did all this...

    I tried to calibrate the ESCs a few times again with no luck. I tried it through the kk2 board and I tried to do it one at a time through channel 3 if the receiver. It appears to work, just doents have any effect on it's flight. I'm going to be posting videos about my tight motors. Please take a...

    I totally see where you are coming from now. I am quite sure I have the correct motor on the correct channel. But I will triple check just to be super sure. Thanks for your input.

    How so? The ESC are getting their power from the frame of the quad that is clearly marked + and -. The ESCs then plug into FCB motor 1 at the top right then motor 2,3,4. Motor 1 is front left, motor 2 is front right, motor 3 is back right, motor 4 is back left.

    First quad, first build, need help

    I have tried to throttle calibrate the ESCs several times and I have no idea if I have done so correctly. In fact, that is on my list of possible issues. In the research I have done. I have never heard of calibrating them through the receiver. Always the FC. Does it work better through the receiver?

    First quad, first build, need help

    It will not fly if I take off quickly or slow. There is clearly an issues somewhere. In fact if I hold the quad in my hand and spin up the props to the point that is has enough thrust to fly the quad. I can feel it pulling itself into a crash. It will pull twards whatever direction I tip it.

    New Member and I'm no good at building quadrotors.

    Good Day! My name is Paul and I'm new to the forum and new to the world of RC. My sond and I built a quadrotor and I cannot for the life of me get it to fly. I'm here to seek guidance and hopefully make a friend or two along the way. I hope you all have a great day. Should I assume there is...
