"Try the throttle trim on the transmitter 1st , if not you might try a throttle calibration or check if there's any power running to the motors."
"Hi Julian , I've built a 3dr y6 kit 2+ years ago and haven't had any problem with prop nut coming off , just crank those prop nuts down good and tight and the pressure will keep them on , i also balance all my props to reduce prop-nut loosening…"
"Try switching channels with the right and left stick ... might be easier to use mission planner and recalibrate your transmitter , that way you'll see what's up with your radio and also a motor and transmitter recalibration since you switched…"
" I built a y6b over a year ago , i liked the way the pixhawk worked so i used it in a second build in a quad frame...I picked up a Iris+ a month ago for my kids and to compare their RTF Iris+ to my builds....and it flys great , does everything it…"
"Iv'e had my right top motor go out on y6b without any issues during a long flight .... the bottom motor took over so smoothly i didn't even notice it went out until it got close enough to notice ... even didn't notice anything on my fpv monitor…"
"i've been getting most of my parts from Amazon ... with Amazon Prime shipping it's all free...and found Iris+ batteries for as low as $35 ...getting a Iris+ 3dr case sent to me with free shipping all the way out here to Hawaii ...can't be beat."
"does dji gurantee replacement of the inspire if it flies away like 3dr will with the solo?"
"if your using a 3s battery fully charged should be 12.6v...if its already dropping to 10.0v on throttle up it's close to voltage cutoff...i don't think a 3s has enough volts to give these 850kv motors enought trust to lift ...try a 4s 5000mAh…"
"I find that using a lower kv motor with a higher voltage 4s-6s gives you a lot more flight time...i just built a t960 hexa with 4114-320kv motors running a 10000mah battery...17inch props ....depending on wind and weather fully loaded i'll get 30-40…"
"Brushless motor temps should run between 71-93.3C* /160-200F* safely ..the reason its hot at the base is because its not spinning and cooling like the rest of the outrunner it's also absorbing the heat thats travelling into the motor mount and arm…"
