    Beginner... 2nd flight, this time in a park. Was able to hover and move around10-20 yards for about a minute or so. But then it took a nose dive with a ground flip from about 4 ft.

    Bad motor after 5 sec?

    On my first build of an xbird miniquad all motors checked out during open pilot wizard set ups. Then I flew and one motor crapped out (just oscillates back and forth) after about 5 sec of flying. What would cause that? BTW I did isolate it to the motor and not the esc. Also when i replace...

    graupner mz 12 setup for a quadcopter??

    I will be starting my first build of a 250 class fpv mini quad. I got a graupner mz12 6 channel radio for it. I was reading the instructions and they talk about 2 modes, a plan and a helicopter. A quad is not really either is it. I am guess that a plane comes closest. But what do I use?

    Huge missed opportunity.... I think

    So I am about a day deep into calling multirotor stores, reading forum post, watching youtube builds. And I am really surprised to see that there is no such thing as a fully RTF Multirotor FPV racer. Not only that but the ARF, BNF, and RTF kits really come with no assembly/ operation...

    Entry level FPV racer?

    I have had a Parrot Bebop since last Nov. Tons of fun. I recently got a Zeiss Cinemizer. That doubled the fun. So now I have the hots to try racing. The bebop has FPV but its a bit laggy, especially beyond about 60m. And while it can go about 30mph, tight turns are not so tight. So a...
