I used two different programs to help make the transition from stabilized flight to manual. They absolutely helped. Not that they respond the way your specific quad does, but they help you get the feel for the way a quad on manual behaves. If i had to put it into words, i would say it is kind...

fatshark sells an older version of their goggles for around 200 bucks. if you plan on sticking with it, i would recommend spending your money here on goggles. They will be with you for a long time and through many quads. Even more so than a transmitter. One of the advantages with the fatshark...

Headless mode is good to start with to learn the transmitter, how to hover and basic movements. After that, you should turn it off and never turn it on ever again. You will never learn to fly with it. After you can fly it around without having to think about the controls any more, time to move...

It was the connectors between the quad and the esc. live and learn.

The biggest reason helicopters took off and multi rotors didn't was efficiency. One blade = less fuel = more range and cheaper to repair. Still that way. But...if you go electric and range is not an issue, ie, local commute, then there may be a market. A small one. The advantages of a multi...

ok, swapped out the FC, same thing. Swapped out the PDB, same thing. That leaves the motors, esc's, receiver and transmitter. Bah.

Usually, it happens when i am giving it a command. I was lifting it little higher from a hover and it shot into the air, pitched end over end a couple times and continued to climb even after i chopped the throttle. This last time i was GENTLY pitching it backwards to bring it closer to me to...

tried adjusting down the yaw. Started the little turd up, hovered it about three feet in the air. twitched the yaw a little and the throttle still jumped. Just when i was about to shut it down, it pitched back, throttle jumped, rolled to the right with three flips and slammed into the ground...

I bought a parts quad, eachine 250 racer, and have been playing around with it. Namely the cc3d, just for fun. On the main, i have a naze as i personally feel cleanflight is a better program. OMG. the little turd just shot up into the sky a good 30 to 50 feet, did a flip or two and continued...

Don't get me wrong, i am all for the advancement of the tech in whatever fashion it manifests itself. Perfect example, the Segway. The Wright brothers did not have to deal with congested areas and personal property damage. Back then, you could fly across the country and never fly over...

No one is going to sue them when they accidentally run one into a non-combatant. Not going to happen in a civilian setting.

Drones will be used for many things, like surveillance, traffic reports and a host of things that used to involve a person. So yea, more jobs lost to automation. But, people will not be flying them. Computers will. Other than amusement, learning how to fly one will be obsolete before they...

I beg to differ. Right now, quads are the DOS of the first window computers. Line editing, each piece having to be configured, separate boards for each function, etc. For the people who have been doing it the longest, they are not going to want to see things change. But the future will be...

A word about Micros. I had the jjpro-t1. Carbon fiber is heavier than plastic. 90 percent of the RTF, like the Hubsan 107d, will fly circles around it and not break apart like the mini kit copters bolted together with carbon fiber parts instead of a one piece molded shell will. Only downside is...

Currently on my second 250 racer. If you are a good pilot, get a light weight frame, they are faster. If not, the eachine 250 racer cannot be beat for the price and i have slammed mine into trees, my house, my car, the ground, the street, dropped it out of the sky fifty feet up when the battery...

I had the same problem when i tried to flash my cc3d with cleanflight. The problem is the boot loader is corrupted and will not load so the program you are using cannot read it. There is a program you can use to reload a usable bootloader to the cc3d. Demonstraitor GUI. You will first need to...

Doesn't matter. The first time some foreign country flies a swarm of drones over the US will be the last. One time venture for a lot of invested work. We already have autonomous drones we can fly in swarms. We call them cruise missiles. They too are one time ventures but mass produced. That...

Forget Drones. Write a program for commercial aircraft. The government will pay you hundreds of millions to automate our woefully outdated air traffic control system. Seriously. Make a pitch to the FAA. An automated system that can predict and reserve flight paths that ALL air carriers can...

Your pid settings are in the default mode. Way too low for a 250 racer. Might want to try G-tune in cleanflight in manual mode to get a good starting tune. After you fix the problem. Worked for me. As far as the struggling to level, could be the gyro in the flight controller, motors not...

A few months. Beats the tar out of the model specific modules. It will work on most of the most popular quads out. That said, these chips should be incorporated into the transmitters. It is only a small circuit board with four small chips on them. There is no reason Frsky or any of the other...
