Also very sad news. I tried a barrel roll and when I throttled back up nothing happened. I think my battery connector came disconnected. I snapped one of the arms clean off. And yet not a single prop broke! Oh well, I ordered a replacement.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. It looks like your xt60 has a sick sense of humour! Fortunately it was just an arm

Well, at least I know how to fix it for next time. Also, is there a way to add a video that is not on youtube? I haven't actually posted anything on my channel yet.

Here's a pic of the damage. I also snapped one of my IntoFPV lips straps and best the XT60 out a little bit.

If your video is on Google, you can "share->get link" then post the link. (You can also directly send it to YouTube from Google if you have slow bandwidth - I do this a lot.)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOO NOOOOO, never ever land a quad that way.  You must attend the Biggles FPV school of how to land your quad. If it is not upside down, in a tree, or bunny hopping 16 times until finally ends up upside down you are doing it all wrong. Big Grin .


I am kidding by the way..great landing.. But that will change in due course..mark my words.

^^^ what Biggles said. pretty soon you're going to be flying till your battery can barely power the quad and when your bringing it in to land, the last thing on your mind is a nice soft landing.

So rather than wait for Banggood to get the arms back in stock, I just bought a complete replacement frame. Of course, now that I will have spares of everything, I will never break anything again :/

No, Now you will only break the stuff you have not got spares for.  LOL
