Well that doesn't seem right. I have a number of AU and vista quads including a home brew Diatone R349 that will easily get me out to 1.5 klms. I’m in Australia so running on 915 MHz and 500 mW and did the the fcc hack so the bigger quads including my 5 and 7” units are good for well past 2...

Have to agree with @Madhungarian , you have changed to a more swoopy style of flying. For whatever reason, I have done the same with just getting out and having a good look at the country and enjoying the detail of digital. Lot of stuff going on at the moment and I hope to sit down and edit some...

As mentioned above, just make sure it is perfectly square and push it all the way in.

Yeah, don’t be scared of water, the first time I flew over the ocean I was petrified. In the end it was a better experience as I was out of everyone’s way and had a ball. Not sure about your quad but the the downward facing sensors on my phantom didn’t like glassy smooth water when only a metre...

And you flew over water and you didn’t bag the quad for being something that it wasn’t. Steady, steady. Nice work!

I will when the rain stops. Had a tropical cyclone move through the state. A lot of of devastation and where I was going to fly, is under water. A lot of people doing it tough over here in the west at the moment, so I’ll be patient.

Pretty sure it’s a PH2.0 plug. I would grab some tweezers and a small screwdriver and simply reattach the wire and insert it back into the plug. Or if you want to run 2S, de-solder the wiring from the board and swap it for an XT30 plug (you can buy them preassembled) and run one piece 2S...

Not sure what you mean ‘under the same aux in Betaflight’. I would two separate switches on your transmitter and two separate aux switches in the Betaflight tab as you don’t want to accidentally engage gps rescue whilst trying to turtle mode. As for the drifting in flight, have you adjusted...

Ok my bad, only had a quick look at the photo and assumed crossfire. I’m not familiar with the R9 set up but I run a single nano receiver and can get literally miles distance with all of my quads. And I only need one uart. GPS rescue is set up using both a spare switch and also having it...

Nah, not at all. Most of us came from a DJI background and decided to move into building our own gear, fly, crash, repair and that sort of thing. I recently talked the least likely person on the planet, my son in law, to get a mavic mini 2 and try it out. Absolutely loves it and is now looking...

Flying using a sim and flying in the real world are two completely different things. As for your pids, if they are factory settings, leave them alone and just practice, practice, crash and practice some more. There is no easy way to get up to expert level without practice. It’s that simple. I...

How good is that? Such a difference with using the nebula pro. I’d be proud of that footage. Fitted a pro to my chimera 4 and yep, the improvement is instant and worth sending the quad out for a trip.

Nice set up, have you thought about chucking a Caddx vista in there? I know it means converting to digital but I recently crammed a vista and crossfire in my Diatone 349 and turned it into a whole new quad. Flys like stink and you can get stupid range with it. And, it doesn’t annoy anyone.

Another quick thought, when powering up the quad with a battery, can you hear the five chirps/tones from the FC and esc’s? That’s them ‘talking’ to each other and letting you know that the quad’s electronics are mostly intact. The beep you hear from quad from that little wire is probably from...

Sorry but short of time with work. Try this quick link to rule out some of the possibilities when the quad wont arm: https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/blog.dronetrest.com/quadcopter-not-arming-how-to-solve-in-betaflight/amp/ Hopefully you know your way around Betaflight a little bit, it’s pretty...
