Hi, I fixed my F450, replaced the bad gps module and I was looking forward to flying again. Then I remembered something. I had never throttle calibrated the esc's. Naza M V1 with 3.12 fw and Maytech 40 amp esc's preflashed with SimonK. The quad flew well with 3.12 from the start. In tests...

Aural Aesthetics of Propellor Noise. I don't know why the matter should seem important to me but it is. The noise made by quads doesn't matter to others. I flew my first bird with Xoar beechwood props and it flew well. I had already read that Xoar wooden propellors were quiet. My own...

Yes. My first pilot error crash. It's going to put my flying down for 3 weeks while I fix the craft. I was testing my build for the 3rd time and it was doing well in gps mode when I activated rth. The craft began flying away instead of towards. I wanted to cancel rth and regain gps but...

Hi. I studied UTube videos for hours today. I learned some things. I need to avoid silver solder for one thing. I'm trying to create the battery connectors to my F450 Distribution Board. The 12 gauge battery wire stripped ends are too large to fit into my XT60 female connectors. I tried...

Yes I know the topic has been discussed before. But I did some deeper study over the weekend and I'm bothered. http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/digital-video-industry-news/145993-rc-aerials-illegal-says-faa.html http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20130318/ARTICLES/130319522/1334/news?p=1&tc=pg...

Hi to You All, I began planning my build 5 weeks ago. Today, all the major components have been collected. All separately. And chosen as best as my knowledge enabled. Here's what I have: 450 top and bottom plates Arms Screws to assemble the frame The heavy lifting conversion kit from AMP...

The ESC's need to be calibrated to mesh with my DX8 throttle. Moving the stick up and down 'til the ESC beeps and signals OK. One ESC at a time? Or all together at once. Should I power up all the motors and expect all four ESC's to calibrate simultaneously? That seems logical but I want to...

Hi, My first newbie build question. I'm building the F450 avoiding using the stock Dji motors and props which have reliability issues. I have the F450 frame and will begin building the MR soon. I'll be assembling it with the AMP heavy lifting kit. The motors are AMP 2814's. My question is...

Yes I want to barge in and introduce myself. LOL My name is Rob. I discovered videos of a quad flying in the Tuolumne Meadows area of Yosemite in January. I flipped. I have backpacked in that area for two weeks at a time. The videos created by SKYCAM5000 got me started. At the beginning...
