Re: My First Quadrocopter Design
I would recommend powering the FC from a separate UBEC (not linear) because from the ESC you can have some irregularities sometimes, and you'd want to avoid taking risk with that. From the design point of view, what is the purpose for the frame size? 700mm~ is quite big and they are usually that siz...

Re: Copter not enough power

Re: So, what do you think happened?
Oh man, I know how that feel. Did you accidentally pull a hard right before landing? I saw it bounced back after the pull so it couldn't have been the ESC going out. That was pretty strange given the rest of the flight was very smooth.

Arming without transmitter
Is there a way to arm the motors without a transmitter? Maybe using the sliders on the MultiWii GUI?
