65 What a cute little flyer! I have about 50 flights on it at this point. I feel like I am learning a lot that will definitely help me fly my DIY 210mm racer. There is so much to get used to and it has been a lot of trial and error to get it up and going. I am getting used to the CleanFlight interface and while most of it is Greek to me, I feel like I am able to get done what needs to be done.
I am using the FlySky i-6 radio that my friend gifted me. I also bought some Eachine 007, but most of my flying so far have been LOS.
Is anyone else flying one and are there any suggestions based on others experience with it?

74 I don't have the E010S, but I have an E010 that I put a Beecore F3 clone on (and faster motors), so I think it's "about" the same. It's definitely peppy and a blast to fly. I'm not sure if the motors on the stock E010S are the faster motors, but if not, and it feels a little sluggish, that's an upgrade you could consider.

65 It would seem that Lumenier makes some nice new motors for it. It has the red ones currently, but they are just the stock motors. I clipped the propellers to 2 blade and it really changed I for the better. It feels quicker and smoother with less throttle input.
http://www.getfpv.com/lumenier-rx0615-17...2-ccw.html This is turning out to be a great training flyer...nearly indestructible so far. I think it is the same frame as the E010, and your flight controller is close!

65 So, the first misadventure! In one of my crashes, the FC's antenna was lost. Not sure when, but it was gone. I noticed when flying in to the kitchen where it suddenly failsafed and dropped to the floor. Only 20' and one wall, I wondered what was happening. After second try with the same result, felt something was not quite right...
Soldered in a piece of light gage wire and it is not able to find all points in our home and back again! Managed to run in to Heather with it, it startled her a bit...bounced off her head and that got me grounded for a while
Happy and safe flying on this warm Sunday afternoon!

65 Well, my daughter managed to smoke the original FC on the micro today. She glanced it of the ceiling and somehow it shorted the board. She asked me if it was supposed to be smoking (smartalic 23 year old!)...
We managed to get it back up and running by installing an FrSky Beecore that arrived this afternoon in the mail
It is back flying, but no longer running on the FlySky i6. She will be inheriting that controller soon as I feel like I want to focus on the Taranis anyway.
