The quad is flying OK, but is too aggressive. Next step for me would

I've been flying my heli for a while but I came across a problem, which doesn't happen quite often but it may be important for safety. It's the power failure and autorotation.
Recently I had a major failure of my battery during the flight, the batt

Up until today I was blissfully ignorant of the potential problems of using SimonK flashed ESC on larger multicopters with high pole count low kV motors. Maybe others know about this, but I did not. I was browsing the forums and came across
