"Try (carefully) holding the y6 above your head (maybe wear gloves and a long sleeve coat if you're clumsy like me) and test. Could be you need to calibrate escs, accelerometer, or compass).you might need to be less tentative on your throttle during…"

"I just placed my order for the Iris+.
I've owned, flown, crashed, repaired, and re-flown the Traxxis QR1 (toy), the original 3dr hexa-A, the 2014 3dr Y6B, and the Iris. My buddy flys a DJI phantom with me almost every friday.
With the prop guards,…"

"The motor mount holes are 16mm apart on the aluminum arm based 3dr multi rotors. I'm running tiger mt2216 motors with Afro slims. I did have to drill an additional hole in the aluminum arms to allow for the shaft on the tigers which protrudes a bit…"

"Frak, it looks like a bricked all 6 of my brand new 3DR ESCs. :/
My Y6 arms, but when I then throttle up, I get nadda from the ESCs/motors.
*sigh* - this is the SECOND set of 6 speed controllers I fried. First time was me just being stupid, wiring…"

"EDIT: I realized that i'm not getting battery voltage into my BEC (dimension engineering voltage regulator)... i'm getting 5V out through the power distribution board from the BECs."

"I'm having the same experience 6mo later.

"I'm assuming your question was to the original poster... so obviously I can't answer that.
When I tried with my Galaxy Tab 4 7" I had NOT enabled "developer options". I have  enabled it on the Galaxy Tab 4 8" as I'm running the latest development…"

"I did EXACTLY the same thing.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7" and the darn thing doesn't have an internal USB host adapter/chip. So... the USB port on that model is really only good for charging.

I returned the 7" and purchased the Samsung…"

"Thanks Tom!
After replacing the PM my APM is booting up happily from the battery
Yep... I tried the direct receiver -> ESC test and no response. I'm pretty sure I fried all of my ESCs x6. :)
Now I'm off to shop for new ESCs. The castle ones look…"

"I had the same issue...found the answer in another thread. Went into windows device manager, selected the com port of the APM (com3 for me) and set it to 115200/8/N/1 and enabled XON/OFF flow control. I'm not 100% sure this is the FTDI chip being…"

"Yep, same happened to me... The fiberglass is relatively brittle but it's better to break that than the center frame.

My fix for now was to buy 1" wide aluminum stock from Lowes/Home depot (thinnest they had... 1/8" I think), drill matching holes…"
