    Servo needed

    in Wanted

    Posted

    Hi guys,

     

    Today I decided to get back into the hobby after a few years and just have found the steering servo (power HD 1501) on my trophy trusty 4.6 has started playing up and so I’m looking for a replacement 

     

    let me know what you’ve got!

     

    Thanks

    Hi

     

    As the Title says really. I have just bought one for my dad off of that well known auction site. It has been used 5 times and so has run but I am a competed newbie for these drones and want to get the best out of it and set up ready.

     

    1.I have had a bit of a read up and it seems people either use baseflight or clean flight to set up. Is one better that the other ?

     

    2. What are the best size battery's to use with your it. Smaller lighter 3s 1300mah or larger heavier 2200mah?

     

    3. I purchased the flysky ia6b rx and flysky i6 tx does any have a set up guide to putting this in and wiring it up

     

    Any oth r advice?

     

    Cheers in advance

    1.I use baseflight for my NightHawk but most people use Cleanflight

    • Better coding practices and introducing tests, easier to maintain and for future development. (Dominic has software development background)
    • Many bugs fixed from Baseflight.
    • Supports more flight controllers, including CC3D, CJMCU and Sparky.
    • Supports OneShot ESC and more than 8 RC channels.
    • Additional PID controllers that uses floating point arithmetic operations. (now has 3 built-in PID Controllers)
    • Many more features such as RGB LED strip support, Autotune, In-flight PID tuning with your radio, blackbox flight data logging etc

    have a read of this: https://oscarliang.com/baseflight-cleanflight-comparison/

     

    2.Battery size depends on what kind of flying you will be doing, e.g. 3s 1300Mah for agile flying like flips and racing or heavier 2200Mah for crusing at a medium speed will give you extra flight time. The heavier battery will make maneuverability slightly sluggish though. I use 2200Mah and about 50-70c rating

     

    3.

     

     

    Other Advice: fit a 5v buzzer to your quad which you can program to turn on if you loose signal or go off at the flick of switch on your TX

    Hey there all I'm looking to upgrade my radio gear for my drones. At the minute I have two 250mm and a 450mm I would like good range for some FPV flight. Any suggestions welcome.

    Hi everyone just brought a 4.6 hpi trugger running 20% nitro. Is a R5 cold plug ok to use? Not sure on plugs thanks

    R5's are cold plugs which are suited for summer conditions, personally I use Os no 8 glow plugs on my tt4.6 :thumbsup:
