The Whoops are my favorite simulator! Have fun flying now that it is airborne.

Yes sir....it was a lol daunting at first......but I don't give up easy.....I think life will be a lot easier with my tarains next time, the rtf transmitter from my inductrix fpv didn't want to play nice.......now that I am on the right track it won't be long before my 2 sons join me at the next level. Thanks for all your help everyone. Can't wait for my x220 and lizard95....(won't be jumping on that lizard for a minute lol)....as a noob it might be a little much....haha

LOL. I am one of a handful of "non-sirs" here. We love to fly just as much as any of the men-folk though

I started with a camera drone and decided I wanted to really learn to fly these aircraft. The E010S was my first manually controlled craft and I finally graduated to a Lizard 95. There is a world of difference between the two. If I might make a suggestion...start flying without AUTO LEVELING modes as quickly as you can. As you get the feel of controlling the Whoop without the assistance (in the end it actually forms bad habits you will have to break later) you will find a point where the Lizard calls to you

It probably feels a little like stepping into an complete unknown now, but you will likely progress quickly.

Ok so there's a new problem tho.....it flies terrible with a strong drift back and left....I ran a motor test and it seems motor three is not spinning up anywhere near as much as the others also it seems very weak. As in worse than my yellow fpv inductrix. Where am I screwed up at. All servos are at mid 1500 min 1000 max 2000 . iv recalibrated a ton. Even made a pedastool that's level with a hole in the top for the cable since it comes out the bottom of the quad. (Bad setup) Accelerometer is on. Throttle mid .50 throttle expo 1.00 also have angle on....any thoughts oh when motors spin up motor 1 is in the area of 1660ish motor 2 -1930ish motor 3 (low) 1049 flat motor 4-1570ish.....that don't seem rite at all

Don't know if this helps but minimum throttle is the lowest ESC value in armed is 1049 maximum throttle IE highest ESC value when armed 2000 and minimum command iesc value when disarmed 1000

My apologies ms.kaitlynn I believe this is a hobby that everyone can get into and everyone should it's a blast just some serious headache here in the beginning so far on my other quads you know my starters and what not they were all set and ready to go I just pick them up and flying no problem this one not so much had it for days now have yet to get one normal flight in driving me mad but I'm not going to give up after spending oh I don't know about 22 hours just trying to figure out what was wrong with my computer and to get betaflight I finally did and I finally got an armed and in the air I'm starting to wonder if a lot of my problems are just coming from using this mlp4dsm transmitter unfortunately I cannot use my qx7 until my module gets here but I'm still having serious issues getting this thing to fly right I'd really like to get it all figured out before my x220 and my lizard get here I don't want to be doing this when it's time to play with the real toys LOL

Thank you, Root!

It is a steep learning curve at first, but trust that is settles out. The real rewards come when you help another pilot figure something out! I truly feel like it took seconds to bind and set up my Lizard compared to a few hours it took with the Whoop. The bind sequence alone seemed to take about a half hour to figure...and odes? Rate versus self leveling? Arming??? What the heck!? Yes, a bit to learn...but only once or twice and you will be a pro at making them take off...flying, that is an art

The first time I ever flew Lizzie, it arced high over a fence and was nearly eaten by a dog. I was lucky it landed "on its feet" and I was able to reverse the arc and get it back in to my yard. The worst part, we had a group of guest over so it happened in front of a crowd. They laughed...in the end I did too, but that led me to start back with the basics. Just enjoy each step as it is really fun when several steps come together to form a leap!

yes since i started up this hobby iv been full bore on it and before this pro i was flying thru about 10-20 batteries a day...unfortunately i screwed up my yellow inductrix while soldering a new pigtail on, accidently touched the iron to a motor connection and melted it ....whaaa lol so iv been dying to get back in the air and have some fun but still stuck with a bad flying quad....i want to fly straight up no restrictions but i gotta get it working rite first.

ohhh also i have not flashed this quad at allthere is newer stable ones available ....should i flash it and also should i be flashing any time i change stuff?

I stopped flashing my E010S builds (I have 2) at 3.2.0. They fly no different with the newer FW, but they also did not have any issues as I started to upgrade them.

Also have an X-Racer X1 with 7mm motors. That one is flashed to 3.2.1 for no other reason than I wanted to experiment.

That is a familiar sight, pretty soon you may have to devote an entire room to your FPV stuff!

yeah those are going to the kids except the iductrixs lol. but i am currently building a work bench area in the basement....thats where the real madness will happen. i have a wizard x220 and a lizerd 95 comming as well as i have a build in mind...(i like to have multiple toys) as well as some aomway comanders chargers batteries patchs antennas props and some more odds and ends....so i better get that bench done e i get soon before i get over run by the hobby lol

You can download BetaFlight from here - https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight...r/releases

If you can plug the inductrix in, and give us some screenshots of the 'ports' tab, the 'modes' tab and the receiver section of the 'configuration' tab... Check the receiver tab and see if the coloured bars move with your stick inputs..?

I'm sorry Tom I just seen a post from July 2017 about a lot of what I was asking. Being the moon o am it seems I was beating a dead horse lol. But non the less I thank you and ill be sure to make a better search effort next time.....I believe that post may have answered my thrust problem as well . I don't get much at all . the transmitter I am using till my ranger gets here for my trains only travels from low 1165 to a high of 1830 ish it bounces on the betaflight scales.....sounds like it missing a lot of travel.....anyways thanks for ur knowledge that's here on the forum
