well no flying for me for awhile

[firey1]

out doing my first open field FPV flying in the quad  and on 3rd battery quad just died in mid air 
dont think its a program fault with the 2.9.1 as they have fixed that issue
will go through everything as i strip it down as i already have a new frame coming check all my solder joints and wiring
just uploading the video to you tube now vid is a bit jello key chain cam not that great

Quad crash

[firey1]

the before shots from the key chain cam

the more im looking at it the more i think it was a brown out  and the right side stopped first as it landed on an angle and it weighted to land square on its feet
the quattro is only a 3 amp bec will fit the 5 amp ubec on new frame

[Gaza07]

Ouch is it just the one arm broken ? should only take 10 mins to fix once you have a new arm 

[firey1]

not sure on motor shaft yet but take 3 weeks to get parts for me
but new X mode alien frame has just left china so should be here in about a week
and ordering 4x turnigy motors to put on new frame
was amazed with the motors that came with the quad unbranded 2212 that i could stop them at 100% throttle just by grabbing the can

[Gaza07]

I have had orders from china take 4 weeks but the quickest was about 3 - 4 days 
maybe you should stock some spare parts, as its not a case of if I crash its when I crash 

[firey1]

yeah im getting there for parts and will have 3 spare arms now when the new frame arrives

OOPS!!
Never saw the flag.
Oh we';ll it was a thought.
Sorry about that.
Roy

[firey1]

no worries Royston
just not popular enough here yet for shops to supply parts

[Allanm]

A nasty break....
What version of 291 are you using? I heard R6 still has issues with flight controllers disarming. I just upgraded to R300 because of this.

Cheers Allan
been running r300 since it came out
im pretty certain it was due to electrical rather than programming
My new Reptil frame arrived yesterday so have started stripping down the f450 and will go over everything and also fit a ubec 5v on this build and of course a decent video record camera lol
