Tony wrote:I've got some Stambo but the threads on the motors are not long enough so they don't screw on far enough to reach the nylon bit so I've threadlocked it. These will do great for now I think. Maybe later get some new motors... I'm flying at mo, so that's great.
Agreed, the most important thing is that you are flying again.
Just make sure you check them regularly.
And maybe put a beeper on it sooner rather than later.
We don't want to lose you again.

I'm designing my own beeper for it. Works off 433 MHz. Nice sunny day here.... Wow

Got through 4 packs today. Practice, practice... I used a keyfob cam, totally crap.... Although it does show I need to do my banked turns slower so one doesn't be sick when watching vids... and I need to do FFF closer to ground so you can see how fast and far it's going.. Try to maintain the same altitude throughout the fig 8's.. Not easy... But it is all great fun and I'm loving it, this quad rocks... Mind you so did the other one I had.... thanks guys for giving me this great quad...

It's held quite solid Dan, there was a little drift but it was in direction of wind... So seems ok now. I'll have a go at fpv tomorrow.... Dreading it...lol

Well you've seen my fpv attempts Dan...lol... At least the quad now lifts off straight so that's going to help...
Thanks Derek, one has to keep trying and not to give up...lol

Looks good Tony.
Plenty of good advice given already but as I have said before
Big open area with short grass
Spotter if possible
Keep it close
Keep it short, 2 or 3 minutes is plenty
Keep going forwards... slowly
Don't try to hover
For altitude, a little too high is better than a little too low
Land, relax, repeat.

done some LOS flying today with new motors on, totally awesome man.... right up to the 3rd pack and it just dropped out the sky.... broke landing gear in half. no idea why, only thing i can think of is it lost TX signal....when i got to it one of the motors had just stopped, i did disarm with TX but obviously didnt work..... other than the landing gear the quad is fine....
busy editing 3 vids to show you guys... last one will be when it drops to the deck...
vids to follow

Thanks D. Must have been good...lol, I love thrashing that thing around the field... The lipo died on me at the end, that's why it landed like that.... Bloody timer, I can never remember to start it.... .. notice my flight time... 8 mins..... not good
