I don't, unfortunately. I'd like to try one out though. Thanks for the input. I really wish I knew exactly what the problem is before jumping to an entirely new frame! The M680 4S is the one I'm eyeballing.

Heh... here I am talking like a hotshot about knowing your evasive maneuvers, and yet I fly my Phantom so rarely that I forgot you can kill the motors in flight :rolleyes:

I actually considered a radio problem last night and swapped to my JR 11x with a clean program and good receiver... same thing. I also tried a KK2 board but apparently I'd forgotten it was bad. Oops. New scratch on the coffee table :confused: If I hadn't spent so much time doing a clean...

I just had a friend offer to give me a T1000 frame as payment for taking on his T15 build (he's too busy), but I doubt I'd have the extra funds to build it up within the next year or two. I wouldn't mind trying one of their bigger ones, though. I think I'm going to try one more thing before...

Test flew after mounting the FC on the gel pad today... no change at all. I guess that's it for this frame :(

I've used all the major brands except Jeti. I always come back to Futaba and JR. Work aircraft both have 14SGs and I have my own, plus a JR 11X.

I might give Arris a shot. Looks an awful lot like the Tarot so I dunno lol. I'm taking your advice before I disassemble though, I ordered a gel anti-vibration pad to try. That's the end of my rope.

Yeah. Long moments with a lot of weight on the end are a bad idea in any situation when it comes to these things, unless you're flying straight up and then coming straight down.

Welp, I fully reassembled the Tarot and got it test flown today.... same crap. I think I'm giving up on this frame. I haven't tried a suspension mount, but I'm not convinced that it would make a significant difference. I might give that a shot if I can figure something out though. Any...

That Slick would have still fallen under SUAS rules as it's in the 40-50lbs range. AFAIK the dimensions are unrestricted (could be wrong but I don't recall seeing that anywhere). I didn't hear about those, sounds like it's more common than I thought! Luckily nobody has been injured so far. My...

C-130 overtook and collided with a Shadow UAV right before I arrived in Afghanistan (I had a near miss with a helicopter while flying a similar UAV a year or so later). Neither would be in the FAA database, but neither qualify as small, either (both well over 55lbs, closer to 400-500). There...

There have been a couple of impacts with larger aircraft... they were both fixed wing (one RC, one UAV) but no multirotors to my knowledge.

EDIT: I'm changing my vote to Inspire since I know I need one :confused:

Thanks Chalagi, several I didn't know about and had forgotten about in those lists.

Yeah, that's been a big help. I was tired of waiting 2-3 weeks for my stuff even when using the "fast" shipping. Got it, thanks!

Thanks for Multirotormania, I hadn't heard of that one. Helipal is all Hong Kong, right? No US warehouse? I've ordered from them before but it was a long time ago... great selection. I always get them mixed up with HeliDirect.

I'm trying to find a one-stop-shop for multirotor parts but it seems like a lot of places tend to gravitate toward one brand or another and don't have a good selection. I've used Quadrocopter, Intelligent UAS, GetFPV, ReadyMadeRC, Hobby Wireless, Foxtech, Hobbyking and a bunch of others, some...

Yeah, I did that before the whole experimentation process I just did, and also made sure they were level when reassembling this time.

The controller case is itself definitely level, it's mounted directly to the top plate with the aforementioned double sided (thin) tape. I bought it new specifically for this aircraft. I don't think that it's defective because I tried it on my F450 frame and it worked perfectly... but with the...

She's back together, and somewhat more cleanly than before, so I guess something good came out of this mess. Now to start troubleshooting all over again. I did notice something odd. This had never happened before... my idle speed was set too low in the Naza assistant, so the motors wouldn't...
