5 Troubleshooting Tips to Get Your Drone Flying!

[@Jason-qt9iz]

So I'm back in this hobby after layoff more than a year due to being dad. I'm glad that Bubby is now main stay of Rotor Riot. 👍

[@hoodzie9671]

I wish I had this video six years ago, super well done video guys, and good job bubby

[@billmcdonald4335]

This is gold for beginning builders. Nice one, Bubby.

[@Marcus2750-u1t]

Buuuuuuuuuubby!!!!!!! You the man!!! A natural on camera! Thanks for all the info Sir and ROTOR RIOT is where its at!! We need to support these guys y’all so get your parts thru them as much as possible! Thanks RR

[@OLEHFPV]

the drone freak out problem is sooo common. ive had so many people asking why that happens. this is a great video guys!!!!

[@StacemanFPV]

Good stuff .. This would have been a godsend many years ago when I built my first drone

[@BRadFPV]

All the BIG gotchas!!! WTG Caleb 💯💥🔥

[@rutledgeking7652]

Great video keep this type of video going I have so many drones that have issues I can’t work threw. Or have a person who would be able to work threw it for you.

[@carcomp101]

Everyones always saying to update to the latest version of BetaFlight. Drones flew just fine on the earlier versions. If your drone is flying well, don't fiddle with it unless you are looking to experiment. 95% of the people who fly _probably_ wont notice the difference an update brings.

[@Capt.Jiggly]

This, 100% this. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[@BowOneFire]

Nah bf 4.3 is a pretty huge upgrade

[@doccock100]

Agreed that the newer versions of BF are better, but dude, you are right. If it already flies well, whatever version it is on... LEAVE IT ALONE AND SEND IT!

[@patrickeul]

Quality content right here. Nice!

[@Maroc-Photograph]

thank you..i got some answers from this video

[@AgentDoubbleduck]

Perfect Video!

[@Sensej_FPV]

Lots of compressed knowledge for beginners and more. For someone who wants to learn something and solve the problem himself, it is irreplaceable :D

[@scottmilano2940]

Great video, but…er… one minor nit-pick. Some receivers (elrs) need arm to be high on aux1. The switch can be configured to invert it’s output if you want to push it up for arm.

[@turkalpkucur]

thank you for precious information about drone!

[@ToddBurke42]

For the Skylite specifically, I'd like to see specific tuning (not just PIDs, filtering I think is the tricky part) with the ducts on and off. I can get my Skylite tuned pretty well without ducts, but with (the older full duct style) I have issues with it not coming back down and have to yaw a bit to get it to descend. What I'd like is to have different specific profiles for duct vs open prop so I can easily switch back and forth. I think that would be a cool video because it's the same quad, but one with ducts, heavier, maybe bigger battery when flying like that...gopro as well...where when you fly naked it's a real ripper but a single tune doesn't work great for both, but you can have multiple profiles so why not.

Almost stole Bardwell’s intro line 😱

[@dan1979able]

im nearly a month in on fpv and grinding my teeth every day how are you lot amazing at flying and how long did it take

[@matthewayrton2786]

Well presented bubby, you nailed the info and knowledge. And you don't Ware guy liner 🙄 😒 major plus in my book, (but he is handsome and doesn't need it any tho)

[@matthewayrton2786]

@ledrib

[@matuka3755]

Don't forget RCAddict's old "Save a Dead 4in1 ESC, Easy Fix!" video ;-)

[@patrickfontenot8953]

Go ahead and check y’all’s motor mapping before sending a quad out.. y’all did me dirty with that lol

[@jefffpv2759]

my props are reverse. i just remember leading edge of props in the front are both facing out and the 2 back are facing in. out out, in in. standard config would be in in, out out. i find it easier to remember than cw/ccw

[@ethanactive4508]

You guys should try and race each other with transmitters that have the stick commands swapped to the other stick the left stick is pitch and roll and the right stick is throttle and yaw

[@monamart5945]

Hello,.. you are super knowledgeable so I hope you can help me on this situation. I have two issues with two quads. 1) I cannot make the motors change direction in BF, on this quad the only thing I did was to change the motors from a 2350 K to a 1700 K. and since then I have not been able to make it fly. 2) I have a second quad with a T-Motor F722 FC and a Happymodel ELRS EP1 RX. as well as CADDx camera and DJI VTX.. The RX is already binded with my radio TX16S MKII Max. I can see it on BF all working but I cannot load the ExpressLRS configurator on to the RX as it will always give me an error number. Thank you for your help.

[@Aj-om4dt]

Dude this video is awesome you explain everything so much better than Mr. JB Please do some more DIY videos 👍👍👍👍

[@pondrickbyzle9445]

Rotor riot, I just had a really stupid idea that I reckon you could pull off: Use the gopro to Live stream footage to your phone or whatever, then try and fly with the INSANE latency!!!

[@glennlapuz5168]

Bro can you help me? My quad have a issue when I arm the quad can't fly but the controller and quad is already connected. And when I go to betaflight I can't connect

For motor direction check I use a pice of paper.

[@oldirtyrod]

best tip about not over using turtle mode

[@andydauterman3700]

When I bought a drone from y’all in December all 3 things were configured wrong. Such a head ache.

[@conorstewart2214]

I wonder why they have the switches still connected up to analogue channels, is it just because the transmitters and receivers are still analogue? In a digital system it would be easy to transfer the state of 8 switches in a single byte.

[@mark6302]

i just ordered one of those, can't wait to crash it

[@shawnispoppin]

Did you try strapping a bomb to it?

[@pasky7777]

15:44 it might take you a week to get a new ESC. 😅

[@deice3]

BF is already on version 4.4, get with the times 🧐 (I'm just joking, you can put the axe down)

[@StickyHoundFPV]

You missed showing how you changed the motor direction that the flight controller sees. The first part of the video shows "props in", after a minute or two then it's set to "props out". If that was the issue from the get go, it would save someone a lot of useless headaches messing with motor positions etc. Make sure your flight controller knows which way your motors are spinning!

[@JPspinFPV]

Bubby just went full Bardwell....

[@kieren7763]

Am I the only guy that puts a fan on my drone while I have it plugged in for more than a few minutes I hate the heat that comes off my vtx mainly .im always worried there gonna pop but haven't burnt out a board or a vtx yet some people swear by it but most people don't even think about it

[@sparkey044]

Drifts in a hover...............fix?

[@breakflight]

Says "upgrade to the latest BetaFlight," and then skips updating and uses the old version. Ha!😆

[@SaltySmurf]

you guys should do a video on how to get your pre built and tuned drones flying cuz your 1 out of 3 in my book..... garbage team building and tuning

[@forkbombfpv]

you're gonna learn today? duuuuude nooooooooo

[@PanduGamng]

My drone is not taking off or lifting up...............

[@Noel_FPV]

Why don´t you say "You`re going to learn something today" ? xD

[@nandabotax5327]

I broke my fpv just 1 second ಠ⁠◡⁠ಠ

[@ProximoFPV]

Yoooo

[@ProximoFPV]

Caleb is such a good actor :D
