    DJI Inspire One With Integrated Lightbridge Ground Station

    How Do You Throttle Calibrate an ESC with Red Wire Cut?

    Not certain what you mean by "plug it in your throttle out." I believe I'm supposed to plug the ESC servo lead into the throttle slot of my AR8000, but then how is the receiver powered with no red wire? The receiver gets power from the Naza M, which is not plugged in. Thanks for your help.

    How Do You Throttle Calibrate an ESC with Red Wire Cut?

    Tiger MT-4006 Motors and Compatible Simonk Flashed ESC?

    Suggestion for the moderators

    We manually approve all new members at the forums where I moderate. They still manage to get through occasionally. It's almost impossible to stop completely. iPhone spam, credit card dumbs, downloadable movies -- you name it.

    What is the "best practices" for using blue thread lock or loctite on the screws when fastening the prop adapter to the motor and also when fastening the motor mount to motor. I read that some prefer it, while others use a nut driver and tighten them that way. Any thoughts would be...

    Why is there so much spam on this forum....???

    I moderate at a professional video site with over 93,000 members. All we do is fight the automated spam. Finally, what we decided to do was screen all new registrations daily. Two guys do it now, five times a day. We have over a dozen mods, and still some of it sneaks through. Everything...
