Those look much more quality than what I've been looking at haha. Thanks for the links man Betaflight is what I've been using for small quads. Is there something preferable about Ardupilot? A DM would work as well, but then other people won't be able to see this if they have the same question...

Good to know. Any recommendations? Thanks for the help!

I'm aware that if you use a 6s battery with a 4s rated ESC then there is a high chance of burning it up, but is the same true for flight controllers? As far as I'm aware they just get a stepped-down 5v from either the PDB, the ESC or a BEC and just send a signal to the ESC to instruct it on...

So I bought new motors and props and that solved the problem. I think the kv was too high for the prop size or maybe the props just didn't make enough thrust. Anyway, here was my setup before I changed it. Motors: 4000kv (2s or 3s) Battery: 2s 800mah Weight: 170g Prop Size: 3.5in (unknown pitch...

I calibrated the transmitter throttle and all that. I'll look into aurdupilot too but I think my problem is that my motors just put out enough thrust to barely get it off the ground and when it tries to stabilize itself it's slowing down motors to do that and so it can't make enough thrust. My...

Hi there, I've been having a problem with my DIY quad getting power. It won't lift up off the ground when I'm controlling it with my Taranis qx7 transmitter. I don't think the problem is motor/prop power in general though because I can hook it up to betaflight and control the motors manually...
