    losing throttle control right after takeoff.

    After running a few packs before dinner I have come to the conclusion that I don't think I really had a problem from the start other than user error by not backing the throttle all the way down. I think air mode threw me off as well.

    losing throttle control right after takeoff.

    Yay after a few hours tinkering around with it I figured it out. I would do ESC calibration on oneshot125 then set to dshot600 and was forgetting to hit save and reboot after switching. lol man do I feel dumb. This thing fly's pretty good for a beginner like me. I also will have a spare rx in...

    losing throttle control right after takeoff.

    Nope no good. I just don't get it, on the bench it acts like it should, as soon as I put props on and it gets airborne it wants to flyaway. The quad doesn't respond to tx input. I have a r xsr on the way now to replace it. I'm just kinda bummed, I spend almost $40 on a supposedly top on of line...

    losing throttle control right after takeoff.

    Yay, got control again (on the bench anyway) did a firmware reflash for both the qx7 and x8r. Everything appears to work again when I put a battery on and leave it setting on the bench and give tx throttle input it seems to respond correctly, thats without props of course. I'll try a test...

    This isn't board orientation. It only happens with the throttle I have full control otherwise. But thanks anyway

    losing throttle control right after takeoff.

    Got update for ya guys, OK a confession. I'm not to good at this firmware flasing I tired to flash my qx7 tx firware and then use smart port to flash x8r firmware. Now the tx won't communicate the rx, I tried to rebind but that didn't help. I'm not sure what to do now.

    losing throttle control right after takeoff.

    Hello all, I've been building a FC model 250 freestyle quad. I have a speedy bee f4 FC, emax2306 2750kv motors, cicada 35amp 4in1 esc, frsky x8r Rx and qx7. My quad appears to be great on the bench but when I put props on and fly as soon as the quad leaves the ground I lose all throttle control...

    Hello all!

    I've been building an FC model 250 quad for about a year now. Finally finished the darn thing but having problems with it so I'm here to tap into the wealth of knowledge. So thank you all in advance.
