Can anyone identify this part of the flight controller for me and what it's function is? I was flying the other day casually and my kwad spun out of the sky and upon recovery I noticed that this part was burnt off and missing, and my vtx was burnt out as well. (likely because of the FC)

This video explains the feature very well.

Yes I will be carrying a session. Betaflight 4.1 has a new feature where it detects what voltage of the battery is plugged into the quad and automatically changes your pid profile. So jello or "bad pids" aren't an issue. I've just heard around that motors are less efficient when used with an...

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't that setup kill your batteries? I would like to have the full throttle resolution where if I punch out I won't have to worry about frying stuff. I'm just worried about losing power and efficiency after throttle capping. What props are you using? S3? Probably...

I'm thinking about building a 6s freestyle kwad with 2150kv motors, so that I can have a 4S battery setup with dual blades for long range and efficiency, and 6S batteries for freestyle (with throttle scaling in BF 4.1 of course). However, I have read on multiple websites and forums that scaling...

We were all at 25mw I was using a lumenier axii stubby

Hey Kian2552, I did ask people and no-one seemed to be having any issues. Also I knew that my channel that my vtx was outputting on was on the same frequency as my google receiver. Something to note: I was in a heat with one other person and my video was average, but still worse than usual...

So I went to my first race today and my video was absolutely terrible. It was virtually unflyable, which is weird, because I never have any issues with video when I am flying at home by myself. I tested out my quad when I got home and video was fine. So the video issues are definitely a result...

I'm sorry I don't know much about spectrum, I have a frsky x9d. As for building, it may seem intimidating at first, and believe me I certainly found it hard when I built my first quad, but honestly, it gives you so much valuable knowledge early into your hobby. And if you aren't familiar with...

First of all there are many other better options than an eachine wizard x220, such as the x220s, emax hawk 5, and some furibee models (refer to uavfutures reviews.) But, if you are certain on buying a wizard, I would 100% recommend buying a new fpv camera such as a runcan swift. The stock...

The esc was the problem. All of the tiny capacitors burnt out and in the process smoked my fc, because it was directly on top of it. The fc should be fine though, it was just exposed to smoke, not fire. So you reckon a shorted out motor? Like a motor with burnt windings? Could you please define...

OK so another crash and when I walked over I saw smoke coming from the escs. There goes my fc and esc. Was the fire a result from hot motors or the crash? And if it was the crash, what the hell? How does crashing cause a fire?

Was flying today and crashed into another ghost branch, and landed in grass. (no biggie) I walked over and found that my solder joints connecting my motor wires to my 4 in 1 had melted and joined together, causing smoke. Just to clarify, do escs get hot as motors do, or are they separate? By the...

No, I might have to get a new motor. ****. Do you ever find that you can't spin out dirt in your motors? I don't really have an understanding of how much dirt is too much to not fly. I have only been flying for a year now and only in school holidays, so I do tend to crash regularly. (maybe once...

Wow thank you guys so much. It's hard to understand how much gratitude I have for you fellas helping me out. Anyway, sorry for my inconsistency in my responses. Internet has been down over Christmas where I'm at. (telstra) I flew some packs the other day and I noticed that my motor...
