"Harry, ultimately I just ended up replacing the ESCs. I received information that these were poor ESCs from someone who had also tried them. I replaced the shot ESCs with 60a Turnigy Plush ESCs and have had much more success with it. Here recently I…"
"I believe that these were just poor ESCs. Eventually all of the ESCs were shot. I ended up replacing the Turnigy Trust ESCs with the Turnigy Plush and have had much more success with these. Thank you all for your help!"
"Harry,
These are all wonderful suggestions. I will certainly check out the batteries. That could be the cause of the issue. The multiple BECs could be flooding the board and have caused damage to the ESCs also. That is something I will fix.
Like you…"

"To answer your question Harry, three of the ESCs ended up refusing to send power through the BEC. When this happened the ESCs stopped working altogether. I didn't remove all but one of the voltage wires from the ESCs in case it would affect the…"
"Absolutely. Here is just a rough diagram of my layout. I extended the motor wires to reach out to the motors on the motor booms. I wondered if this could have caused the issue. The lengths were 3 foot extension for the back motors and 2 foot…"
Hello all,I have been working on a VTOL modification for a couple of weeks now, and had just gotten to the point of conducting a few hover tests. The night before I went through and checked to make sure everything was properly functioning, and all…

I recently built an X8 launcher and thought that I would share the plans. The legs are removable, but at the moment, not adjustable. The trigger isn't anything special and I hope to modify it eventually. It currently is made up of a door hinge with…
"Tom,
From what I have seen, the compass errors and velocity variance errors you are receiving could be a result of not having a GPS lock. I also had these issues when first starting, and that was the issue. I had one GPS module giving these errors…"

"I have not had a chance to maiden it. I took the advice of those who had suggested learning to fly with the Bixler. I do want to make sure that my CoG is correct as well. If you have any tips towards checking the CoG I would love to hear!"
"Mr. McCray,
I purchased the Bixler as suggested, and I will do some flying with this before I start flying my X8. I have actually never heard of the AMA, I'm glad you told me about it. I definitely look more into this. Thank you for attaching the…"

"I understand now. I will make sure to change this!"
"What do you mean when you say to have the top of the camera facing forward? I am all for efficiency, so I would be willing to change this. I do like your idea of purchasing a bixler airplane also. I would much rather crash a $70-100 plane than the…"
"I never really though about any issues with the yaw due to the holder. I don't expect any effects, but I will make sure to note anything that I notice as a result of this and let you know. The parts that I attached, I just used the foam glue that I…"
"I do not have any pilots to help me out unfortunately. I have used the Phoenix RC simulator to help me learn how to fly, but I'm not sure how realistic this is. I plan to use a launcher I built based off of pictures I found online:…"
