This was my first flight with my rebuilt Tarot Iron Man 650, and the first time I have flown using the Pixhawk flight controller. It is very different from the Naza's I am use to flying. The "Loiter" flight mode is really mellow, but when I put it in "Sport" mode I got a surprise. It was very...

The problem turned out to be no power going to the servo rail.

Finally got it going.

Went for a very early morning flight, but unfortunately it was very wet and too foggy to fly at elevation.

I am using Mission Planner. The quadcopter will arm.There is power going to the motors via the positive and negative leads. I calibrated the ESC's one at a time using the remote & receiver. (ESC"S: Castle NO BEC 35 AMP 6S Lipo) After arming nothing happens. No beeps. Nada. Zilch. Zero. I broke...

If it fly's ok but does not hover correctly, that sound like some sort of issue with your GPS or barometer. I would try calibrating again. If you can check, make sure the one in the FC matches the one in the GPS disc. I had an issue and had to turn off one. The above posts scenarios would cause...

The two 3s were way lighter, cheaper and had a higher capacity that the 6s battery.

It did work but not great For 9 bucks I am not going to complain.

Filming this was scary. I filmed from about a half a mile away with limited view and some good wind gusts. Judging how far away I was from the rocks was challenging for me even through the screen.

Took the after market motor mounts off to see if the glue held the stress fractures together after a couple hours of flight time. The glue held but new cracks developed.

Had to replace the landing gear, a motor, solder a new connector that was a factory defect, then hope for the best....

It is rare to get in two flights in a single day.

I thought it was a motor but after listening to the video I am not sure. It sounded like the power was cutting off. I used the same parts from the last drone that fell from the sky so maybe the same component failed. I will probably never know. If you have any ideas what could have caused it...

Took another hike to launch my drone at altitude.

Instead of replacing the lower shell, I took the easy (lazy) way out with Gorilla Glue and motor mount brackets. I will know if it works after a couple of hours of fight time.

Bet they thought these complexes would last longer than 50 years when they built them. This video was shot with a Phantom 3 professional.

Had limited flight time. It began to rain about 13 minutes into the flight.

Well, I finally got a free drone to review instead of the usual GoPro knock-off camera. Unfortunately, they sent me a piece of junk drone instead of the more expensive drone they said they were going to send. Honestly, it wasn't worth the time but I still felt a little bit obligated to do the...

For 39 dollars you really cant complain. Both were decent but the Monstertronic was better.
