Thanks for that. Excuse my ignorance then but I guess thats better than what I currently have and is worth taking the time to get it fitted?

Hi all, When I bought my drone the guy I bought it off gave me these extra bits. Excuse picture quality can upload a clearer one if needs be. This is what the inside currently looks like Can anyone tell me what those extra parts are? And are they better than what I've already got?

Got it up in the air. Massive thanks to everyone that's helped me get it into the air...... Especially NO17RW for being so patient!

Yup, lights were green so assume so. Didn't have phone connected mind but both switches up so don't think I did. Just off for a other test now in much bigger space. Will let you know how it guess.

Made a huge leap tonight. Got all the motors back in right place and wired so turning the right way and....... It flew. Briefly!! I was trying it in a fairly small space outside and it only got a few feet off the ground but when I took hand off the controls it drifted to the right..... Into a...

Easier said than done. Everywhere I checked in UK that I could find either had no stock or didn't have a full set (though that's not to say I ve not overlooked an obvious source). I ended up taking two from a guy on ebay and I've contacted him today to buy the other two so at least I'll now have...

Ok thanks. WIll make sure I get it right tonight then go for another test. Do you think it might also be worth replacing the two other motors at same time. If they are different versions could they be less powerful. Is that a possibility too?

Cool I get that but looking at it from which end as from battery end its one way and from otyher end its the other way. Esentially though either way what your saying is I need to swap them over. Where silver currently are there needs to be black?

In post #16 I asked for clarity on where you guys were standing when giving me directions so that I could make sure I was looking at it from same direction. So I assumed all from the rear. Ok cool so that could be the issue now then. Effectively switch front two motors and same for rear. Then...

Here is how they are wired now. Not the same as crash1sttime but all rotars are now turning in the right direction i.e. prop is spinning with leading edge high. Then we went out for a test flight and this is the result (note first attempt gave full throttle, only nudging in this video to...

Hmmm Ok thats next step then. Eliminate the friction. Would that be enough to cause it to flip?

Ok, re-wired all the motors and got them spinning in the right direction. So very happy I went out for test flight but sadly it just flips on take off. So what I have now is 2 newly purchased used motors off that auction site to replace the 2 that weren't working and 2 original motors (not sure...

Actually one last thing. Just for clarity, when you say looking down on quad are you stood in front or behind it. I would consider battery to be behind it or at the back.

Thanks both, you've been helpful. I'll take another look at it after work this evening and let you know if I got it off the ground.

N017RW my bad, sorry. Maybe I'm getting bit confused there. So essentially changing the motor direction by swapping order of cables on esc wont affect the way it flies then? Crash1sttime yeah saw that pic, and along with the additional into re props you have just given me that is very helpful...
