G+_610GARAGE Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 So I just got my motors for my alien X quad. I installed it, checked rotation, every thing seemed good. It is a bit gusty today, but I wanted to see if everything was properly working. I just wanted to get it a couple of inches off the ground. I gave it a little throttle, it started roll, I cut throttle. Wanting to see if it was just my dead zones on controller, I tried again with a little more throttle. It shot up to about 3ft off the ground started to roll the otherway, I started to drop throttle to lower it back to the ground, and a gust of wind took it. It did a barrel roll right into the ground. Broke a blade and an arm. This is why I can't have nice things. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_610GARAGE Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yea, a little turtle wax, some bubble gum, no one would notice. :) In my defence,I just notice that my remote is acting a little goofy, I took it apart, and all of the caps are around .35nf, so yea, there dead.

G+_610GARAGE Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yup, I'm an idiot. I had motor 3 and 4 reversed. Although in my defence, it should go top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right. Not top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left. Just sayin.
