Louis Novy replied to Jim Mullen's discussion Compass Drift Problem (or what is going on here?)
"I have this exact problem. Since this post is from years ago and no answers I'm thinking about just buying a new flight controller because I've had problems with the compass for a while now and it is pretty frustrating."

I have built an f450 clone, and I am pretty much finished with it, but I have one problem. For some reason I can't get the tilt control to function on my gimbal. I have an old version on the mini3d gimbal (not pro). I am also using a Turnigy 9x with…

Louis Novy replied to Nicolas-Michael El Jamal's discussion LiPo Battery Problems

I am somewhat new to this hobby, and I am finishing up my first quad. I got a FY Mini 3D gimbal, and while I was installing it I pulled out one end of this connector wire. I have absolutely no clue how or where I could replace this. Anyone have…

What are the differences between an airplane esc and a multirotor esc? If I had an airplane esc and a multirotor esc that had the same specs what would be the thing that means it is an airplane esc rather than a multirotor esc? Would it work to use…

Louis Novy replied to Louis Novy's discussion Sunnysky motors, whether they are fake or real
"Thank you for your reply. I never really thought about it in that way. Back to the actual motors though, are you sure you got them from pflhobbyboy on eBay? I have gotten other things from him and he seems reliable. If you got them from him and they…"

Louis Novy replied to Mark Jensen's discussion X8 motors not arming
"Does your board and lights arm or not?
If they do then I have no clue unless I look at it myself. If they don't arm, that means that something is wrong on the software side, or the transmitter side. Sometimes the transmitter can be calibrated a bit…"

Louis Novy replied to Louis Novy's discussion Sunnysky motors, whether they are fake or real
"There are ways to get them cheaply, but more times than not they will be fakes. There is a few sellers that sell genuine ones on eBay, but are hard to identify, as there is so many fakes."

Louis Novy replied to Louis Novy's discussion Sunnysky motors, whether they are fake or real
"I totally agree with everything Marc said. Sunnyskys are very good motors that are quiet , powerful and efficient, but cost half the price of equivalent motors and are counterfeited a lot making it hard to buy them."

"Ok, I was interested in getFPV because many people said that they ship really fast and that is a big plus. I might buy from them. Or BuddyRC, it will depend on what other things I get from them."
