Try balancing your props, check for too much play (thrust) in your bushings/bearings, and last but not least, try trading out your gears/prop shafts and see if the problem follows.

Happy to help

Remember, knowledge is POWER!

Oh that's just schweeeeet! Bit expensive compared to other basic frames but hell! I think once I get some experience with my new quad I just might have a serious look at that. Dunno if I would want to dunk my Turnigy 2836's... surely that can't be good for the motors, especially with high current r...

Please don't get me started on US politics. I can't stand these damn liberals and their undying need to regulate everything.

I think Ben Franklin said it best:

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

The more I get into this hobby, the more I want to get rid of my Drone and build a Hexacopter

Yeah, you could always put some more conformal coating on the circuit boards, just don't cover the MOSFETs, they need cooling

I'd be more worried about bearings getting eaten apart more than anything else. Electronics can take sand. You should see some of the stuff I remanufacture at work.

Added the foam between the mainboard and cross section today - all is well again!

Dang, she's wicked nimble after the Scuba diet! Handles better now with my 2800 pack than she did stock!

Didn't get to the drone today, I'm busy working on buying a new car.

Actually, this was the one time i didnt remove the board! lol

I'll re-mount it so it's more or less 'suspended' from the cross, but with a peice of soft foam wedged between it, pressing with light pressure. That should eliminate any/all vibrations.

I highly doubt its the compass, and I haven't tried a full reset beyond changing the battery yet

I don't have a picture of my own yet, but, yes, it does have a tail lol

And for all of you wondering what the 'Scubamod' is, here's a photo of ScubaSteve's Xenomorph Drone:

So today I went to work - hacking away at my drone, removing every bit of unnecessary weight, in something I like to call 'The Scubamod' after our very own 'ScubaSteve'. It ended up looking a lot like 'ScubaSteve's 'Xenomorph' Drone, minus the Gopro and altimeter of course. After I had completed mod...
