Landed hard on some gravel and bashed the BEC pretty good. Took it home and tried to power everything up, nothing happening no response except all ESCs continually beeping. There is some power coming thru the BEC and receiver because orange indicator light in the telemetry unit lights. However...

Installed an app called Vibrations on my iPhone and strapped the phone onto my 550. Ran the first with unbalanced 10" stock props and second with new props I balanced. Below are screen snaps. This is about the first 30 seconds of each flight. Frankly I can't tell that much difference but I...

I've been flying for almost a month now and feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it. Just put lights on a couple of days ago, red on two front arms and blue on two back. And all I can say is Wow. If I could go back and give myself one piece of advice before my first flight, it would...

I ordered a Blade mQx 2 months ago before I ever started my f550 build. Planned on using it as a trainer It was backordered and when I realized I would be flying my hexa before it ever got here, I cancelled the order. Well, it got shipped (and charged) to me anyway and I decided to keep it...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ct_5fGhqjSs Went out to a friends house to get in some Sunday flying. My friend was dying to try it and I finally let him take the sticks "just for a minute.". How bad could it be? I'm just learning and I've crashed bunches. Just had to replace some props and I...

My VU blinks green in atti mode instead of yellow. When I power up it only blinks green. Was blinking red yellow green, four greens. Now only the green part is blinking. Looks like it just skipping the other colors. Made kind of a hard landing on a gutter (hey, won't learn playing it...

They say confession is good for the soul. As I built my F550 (first build) I thought I was very careful to check everything three times at least. Bundled wires neatly and followed all the recommendations I read on MRF. When I first tried out my copter, very erratic, flipped over, wouldn't...

My knowledge of the finer points of electronics is limited but as I was cleaning up the wiring on my first build I wondered about this. When you zip tie all those tiny little wires together into neat bundles, do you run any risk of having them interfere with each other, signals bleeding over or...

At the point of finishing wiring, starting setup. Been going mostly by videos from AerialMedia Pros (thanks, great instructional vid). In the setup, their TX has two sliders and channels X1 and X2 are used to set gains on the fly. The DX8 has one knob for adjusting gains like that. 1 Should I...

Just getting started doing research into AP. Lapsed sailplane pilot but no RC experience. Have a Blade mQx on order to play with while I try to learn enough to decide what my first build should be. Mike
