    Scott, I am NOT an expert on here at all but please correct me if I am wrong. If you set up the multiwii controller to fly w/o the GoPro could that have something to do with the issue when you took off. Did you recalibrate everything. The reason I ask is depending on where you mounted the...

    Am I too fat? Do I need to loose weight?

    Crisp, I am not familiar with Short shaft motors but I believe you need some sort of accessory pack with it. I am not certain if it comes with one so you might want to ask on the NTM motor you are looking at. Mike :)

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you to Scott! Hobby King made things right today. They offered to either refund my money as a store credit or arrange to get another Accucell 6 to me. I elected to go the store credit route. They did not want the Accucell back for some reason. I am now...

    Using batteries in parallel, can I use one charger?

    Thanks Pete! I am looking more long term now and have been reading tons. What originally turned me off to the "Bigger" chargers was the price of the associated power supply that would be needed to run them. After looking around a bit more I have spent the better part of the day looking into...

    I wish I had known.... F550 purchase, build and first flights..

    Great tips here guys! Reckless I have a small Nano QX that would fit the bill for many of the new people to MR flying. I fly it a ton in the house to make certain that my skills and maneuvers are up to snuff before taking out a bigger bird.

    Using batteries in parallel, can I use one charger?

    EDIT: I have found the answer....thanks....I have elected to go with another charger as it seems as though while the ACCUCELL 6 would suffice for the time being, I am looking at long term use. I am currently leaning on getting an icharger 308b. Getting an appreciation for all the EE stuff...

    Yes...those were the ones I had seen. I am not certain just how much they would help or not...I do know that they would add a bit of weight but not much!
