I do and I would! Maybe you could put it on Thingiverse??

I forgot about that label! I was concerned because the "black" motors are a lot cooler that the "white" ones and since I fussed with the white ones I figured I had done something wrong. Again, good advice!! Thanks!

that is good to know. I did use whatever I had. Now my problem is that the 3 B motors (white) seem to be seriously overheating.

Obviously I put all those reinforcing plates back in so that can't be my issue but again, all of mine were the same. Yes I can understand how the letter would be confusing, but since I go by the color rather than the letter, that is not an issue for me! Since you got it to work, I am hopeful...

Are you talking about the plate under the LED module with the 4 screws (that hold the motor on the arm) going through it?? All were silver on mine if that is the one. I was worried about this also with the motors overheating- like they were working harder because of something I had not...

Thank you for your information. This is all what I was thinking also! However, I cannot figure out why the "white" prop motors are all running hot and the "black" prop ones are cool. I am running the same motors it had before and just the arms were swapped out thus my question. If there is a...

I am trying to repair some broken arms on an H. I had two broken B arms (white props) but I only had two spare A arms. I swapped the white motors out of the broken B arms into the A arms to keep the rotation correct. It seemed to fly ok however I am finding I have two issues: 1. All three...

I find paintballs at high velocity clear my landing zone very effectively.... j/k

I've done a bit more research and it does appear the original battery is based on the 18650 inside of the square brick that Yuneec provides. In my experience, when a lithium battery is square, it is usually the lipo packs inside. I still prefer the packs for this application over the 18650's...

The original battery is also a Lipo- it is a packet lithium ion battery that uses a polymer construction. The advantages of making them are: 1. I have access to free lipos so the cost is minimal (connectors are cheap). 2. I can have as many backups as I want to make. 3. I can use better (higher...

Yes! As are the spare batteries I've made for my ST16 except I used Lipos (out of tablet battery packs). I was not able to fit an 18650 (one or more) in the battery compartment.

The Magic effects look a lot like the "color correction" enhancements you can do quickly and easily with the FREE GIMP editor.

The battery in the ST is 3.7 (4.2) volt so it is a 1S cell. You can't balance a battery with one cell so a balance charger is not strictly needed, although typically to get a higher speed charge mode (higher current) is usually only found on that type of charger although a high speed 1S charger...

Anyone notice the Intel drones used in the half time show?
