Yeah, it's not exactly clear - the wiring diagram. The following is a screenshot from what I followed. Nothing exploded or smoked so I think it's right. So, here's what I figured out from videos and a willingness to blow up my FC. The black is ground. The yellow goes to Buzzer- and the Red...

Hi, just a quick question on how to wire the VIFLy Finder 2 to the CLRacing flight controller.... (exact products with diagrams linked) According to diagrams, the flight controller in question only has Buzzer+ and Buzzer- and there are three wires for the VIFly {red, white and Yellow}. The...

The worked fantastically. Is that a word? Who the **** cares, were, polits not failing writers.

So, I'm fairly new to quads. I've got some time in the air and some in simulators (both DRL and Liftoff). But, I'm still learning a lot every day but mostly details and nuances at this point. This brings me to a question. How effective is Liftoff in simulating (& replicating the results) of...

I actually received and installed them today; they worked great! Again, thank you. And thanks for the heads-up about the length but in my case, It doesn't matter - in fact, that is helpful for my situation.

It literally ripped out. So it's separated from the connector... The replacements you suggested might work though.... Thanks!

I know you said you are experienced in helicopters but also consider picking up Liftoff to give yourself an idea of what you are looking at. It'll probably help you understand some differences between the size and parts and race dynamics. It's helped me a ton (though, I'm principly freestyle...

Silent buzzer warning what? the battery level?

I just noticed that one of the two Antennas had been ripped off the receiver. How might I re-attach it? Can I solder it or should I replace the receiver? Mind you, it's only $13 so replacement is fine if that is better.

After trying what Torc suggested, the motor is grit-free and the quad flys. That said, I will probably order two back up motors and maybe replace it... I don't know. But, thank you guys for the help. Appreciated.

I'm still new but for what it's worth I use these: 1-8S LiPo Battery Checker Voltage Tester w/ Low Voltage Alarm Nothing to solder to the board. I did have one fly off in a crash though but it survived. I immediately bought a couple more in case I lose or damage one.

So, I was flying my quad and kinda hit something and it kinda fell into the mud. (Kinda means "definitely did") Anyway, because of the height it fell from, the prop was covered in mud as well as the motor I've cleaned it off but the motor feels gritty now. Can I take the motor apart to clean...

I wish I had a source that close... I checked some local stores here and none of them have parts. Mostly commercial video-drones are sold here or otherwise not-parts. Also, I was in Australia in late Dec/Early Jan. Beautiful place!

What's your preferred source for parts and most importantly (to me) why? (Please note where you are too) I've been using GetFPV and I like them because they ship quickly and it's easy to find things on their site. Also, while not always the best their prices seem reasonable... I'm in the USA.

Hi, I'm going to try to keep this quick and to the point. I'm a new builder/pilot. I went to buy parts from a source which turned out to delay shipping for over a month and in a rush to order replacement parts from a better source, I may have made a poor choice in VTX and Camara. I'm hoping not...
