Well… My first quadcopter build that I’ve, for some reason, named the Gecko, isn’t coming along well. But it will come as soon as it actually works right. A list of problems:

1. It doesn’t fly for more than 3 minutes.


2. Something happened (a sudden increase in current draw from motors?) that caused it to lose power and crash. I replaced motors to slightly slower ones, but I haven’t pushed it as far as I did when it crashed yet. 


3. Even with short flight times, it uses a 700-800 mAH battery.

 

I am currently trying to fix these problems so I can post a build guid soon. Thanks for reading umFlight!
