I ordered some more TPU. Will now have a small amount of pink, blue, orange, green and yellow. Need to add another pack later with clear, white, black and red.

Hey Green, just got back to this thread. Sorry for being so not tech savvy, but the printer makes parts?

Oddly enough, I got to fly a couple paks today when it was too windy yesterday. I guess its the calm before the storm...literally. Looks like its headed between Green (New Orleans) and myself (Mobile) and strengthening. Its moving fast so it'll be in and out by sunday night. At least I got a few paks in

Swapped my leopards around putting the stretch arms on the back and the true X arms on the front. They now both look and fly the same. I think this motor configuration is called "cat style". Also gonna order another set (after Christmas) of these Raceflight 2308 1800kv motors fot the other 6". This is the easiest to fly locked in quad i've flown yet. I now know that higher kv motors on 5" and 6" quads. (unless you are flying in a straight line wide open) don't hold a candle to lower kv motors for agility
You can see the difference in the two arms

I have decided to put the Emax 2306 2300kv motors off of my 6" leopard on this quad (Johnny Cash) and replace them with 1800 kv's
I'm getting 8-10 min flights on my 6" with a 2600mah running RF 1800kv's

This is the motor I bent the bell on, it's the third motor I killed on one of these (realacc x210) frames. There's not much carbon fiber sticking out beyond the motor making it easy for rocks/stuff to strike it.
Thinking about ordering this frame to put it on

I finally confirmed that I have been tuning my quads WAY too low on the PIDs.......
I challenge you to double your P and bump your I up and play more with your tuning. Of course only if you also are tunign too low (in the 30-40's) on P.

My 5" tune isn't but my 6" quads tune in the 20's. I have only used the stock RF1 tune on my 6" quads so i will definitely try it out
I can add another flaming crash to my repertoire, got this one on video...lol. I used the foam mount i made for my x210 and put my sq11 on my 6" leopard. The video has a lot of jello, didn't have it strapped down proper. The crash tore off 1 motor and broke 3 props and of course some smoke/fire damage. It boots right up, alls well and i'll have it back in the air in no time. When i plugged the lipo in it was a little loose and i'm assuming it somehow came unplugged in flight. I've been having issues with my XT60's

I don't know, Bro. Sounds like the motors we're still on when it crashed to me. I'll have to play it again. I'd take a look at your receiver and failsafe and make sure it's turned on. Just a guess. I'm going to replay it now.
