Got the new motor mounts done. Test installed one. I need to get some longer bolts to proceed with this mission. New mounts may not be as pretty, but seem much more functional. Weigh a little more but not to noticeable to the calibrated hand. Not like weight is going to be an issue for this...

I did balance them all initially in my truspin. The last few flights I have had were very short lived. It almost sounds like the props are hitting something, but there is no evidence of it. One prop specifically seems to be having the most trouble. It does show signs of contact with...

I was finally able to get this thing off the ground recently. After many efforts with the Multiwii I bailed out off of that. Switched to a quick simple CC3d to give it a shot. First flash it took right off. I switched to 12x5.5 props due to lack of power. It would fly on the 10s but nothing...

STUPID STUPID STUPID Yaw direction was reversed in the radio. Corrected that and the pitch direction was off also. Now it will arm and spin up. Now need to mount some stuff down and try a test flight. Then work on getting GPS and OBD working. After that start setting up the FPV gear and...

Struggling, but getting somewhere. Have the GUI working, but can not get the dumb thing to arm. Recieving good info from radio, but it will not arm. Adjusted radio endpoints, played with min and max throttle values, tried the ESC calibrate, nothing seems to work. Plug in batteries and a few...

New DX9 and FPV set in hand. Time to start programming.....

Guess its been a long time since I touched this thread too. I did put on a BEC and LED strips on the bottoms of the arms for direction. It is all wired and has 2 3s lipos strapped to the sides of the landing gear. Have never powered it up though. Been waiting on the radio.

Well this has long been abandoned. But I just dropped some cash on it. Picking up a DX9 Black as soon as they are released, have one ordered through the shop with my name on it. Also picked up a Fat Shark FPV set. Also ordered through the shop. Can't wait for the stuff to show up! In the...

Bluetooth and on board display showed up. Now just need to finish installing everything. going to start building the Power harness tonight!

Thanks for the guide!!! As I start getting it set up further in the next few days that will be very helpful! I did order a bluetooth adapter so I will let you know how well it works. Also ordered an on board display. Cheap enough only about $9 each.

Ken thanks for all your help and advice!! My FC came from HK, so I have not even hooked it up yet to see what firmware is on it. I will more than likely be ordering the bluetooth module for tuning purposes until I get the hang of it. SoCal has good point, could you post up how you know what...

Thanks for the input!!! I am new to the multirotor/multiwii world. I have quite a bit of flying experience/RC experience in general. Besides that I build and fab a lot of my own stuff. I have worked with an Arduino before but not in a flight controller so I have a little know how there...

Picked up a MultiWii Pro with GPS. Haven't got to mess with the controller yet, is it pretty easy to get used too?? Any tips or tricks I should know about?

Finally got all my parts in. Started building my Hex. Haven't gotten too far yet, but here is where I am.

Nothing really spectacular. The quads are just a 180QX and a MQX. I work for Hobbytown USA in Toledo, OH and do a lot of RC stuff through there, the Hex I just ordered parts to build it yesterday. As soon as they show up I will start posting pics.

Just thought I would pop in and say hello since I am new to the board. Working on building my first Hex, have a couple eflite quads, been flying a while thought it was time to step it up. Looking for a few pointers and maybe a little help.
