    When good flights go bad

    It was bound to happen... Today I had my first crash. My best guess is that a prop exploded in midair and then gravity decided to slap my poor little Gaui.

    Ahhhh! First flight not going well

    OK, so I finished my AD-4 last night and was ready for the first flight but things aren't going as planned. The motor idle speed seems way too fast and once I start giving some throttle I get major shaking throughout the booms. Giving a lot more gas sometimes seems to stop the shaking...

    Does anyone have problems with flare or other issues in your photos/videos due to LED lights on the booms? It seems to me the LEDs are so bright that they could easily cause issues in your images. I'm thinking at a minimum I may put all my front boom lights on a switch so they can easily be...

    New build - AIL and ELEV seem swapped

    Just finished my new Gaui 500x build with WKM and when testing the AIL and ELEV seem swapped. If I move AIL right the Gaui pitches back. AIL left pitches forward. If I pull ELEV back the GAUI rolls right and ELEV forward rolls left. Rudder and Throttle are correct. I have checked and rechecked...
