Well friends after two weeks of pain staking problems and solving them problems and asking questions and waiting for answers and I think all of you for that and less knights of sweating my butt off because I got no AC where I work on my quad tons of troubleshooting about 40 satyr joints splicing a bunch of customization ran my own wire instead of coaxial all new motor wires all the way to the copper leads inside the motor only thing I’m missing is a go pro session 5 having troubles fitting my Traditional go pro style camera being too wide and the blades clipping in a little bit I got it to work Kinda but I’m not incredibly happy with the size so I’ll be getting a go pro session 5 next week this thing is the exact feeling of a hot knife through butter. The center complexity of this frame and build is nuts man. Never flown something that feels this smooth and buttery. Thanks again for all your help and can’t wait to fly more of my new sexy bird.

looks good...Not that you need them but I'd suggest some foam landing pads for the end arms.

..just in case the landing is uneven(If you fly over concrete) unfortunately I do.
Sorry if you said before..but what frame is that?

Thanks man I appreciate the insight. I thought about it but hated they way they looked and thought overall I’ll be good. For the life of this frame I’ll be over the grass I feel. But I will most deff always and I mean ALWAYS have a spare khx5 frame at hand. This frame is by geprc called the khx5 elegant. They have the 3.4.5.6.7 inch I believe. Maybe not 3 Hands down so far my fav feeling frame man it’s center is insane. You lose no altitude or drift left or right when doing flips So durable feeling and just great quality. About $60-$75 depending where you order
 
Yeah been ok thanks mate. Not been flying a great deal but got to run my packs yesterday. Had a pretty good session just track work mainly. Will head out again this arvo .
Good to hear man glad you got some rippage in. Hey question how much throttle expo do you use and what’s a good number when you don’t want linear. I don’t like the bouncing
 
I agree with Picco, I think your ESC wires on the bottom of the arms are susceptible in the current config. IMHO.
Beautiful build Bronco!
You guys realize those are top mounted arms right?!? Didn’t know if you noticed that I land on bottom of my frame that’s why my fc and pdb are mounted upside down and flipped around.

Thank you bro much appreciated. I put a lot of work and time into my first build and am super happy with the end result
 
My bad Bronco, hard to see clearly sometimes and I did not notice that. Let us know how it holds up over time, perhaps I need to build one like that.

Will do so far the landings are good and the fact they have the below the arm fed wires actually makes them more protected than the traditional bottom arm frame :) yes I highly recommend it. Dude I’m excited for next week. Ordering my first real go pro. Gonna get a session5 before their discontinued. Off topic but had to share my happiness quick.

I thought the same thing when I got my QX-105 Bat, then when I got the SPC 90X, I thought how ugly it was but flies great. Just thinking of those sleeper cars that look like junk but has it where it counts in a race.

I was talking about the foam feet y frame is sexy and flies amazing. And is no way shape or form ugly and or a sleeper :). I was talking about the foam feet that’s all buddy :) but I feel ya. Sometimes those sleepers are the secrete weapon :)

i definitely recommend flashing BF 3.4 & check out some of their new features like RC smoothing, iTerm relax, & iTerm rotation to name a few. Might help w/your bounce back.

There is a bug in the 10.3 configurator so you should be able to upgrade to 10.3.1. If you don't you can make a change in the command line CLI for that particular bug. I believe its the gyro_hz setting. Joshua Bardwell just made a video (URGENT). THIS BUG WILL POSSIBLY BURN UP MOTORS
