[QUOTE="flashcrash, post: 5637, member: 1558"] Nice hearing from you all. An update - I put on new props and got the grommets back in place on that hold the camera gimbal to the upper mount. I disabled GPS fired it up in the house, held it over my head and put the Typhoon G into full power. Seems ready to go. Don't ever let the Typhoon G lose in the house. The first time I tried to test it in the house I did not know I had to calibrate the ESC's on the motors. I had just put the ESC's and motors all back in. You are supposed to run the program and turn each motor to assign the ESC to the position on where it is on the quad. Big mistake not doing that. I had the quad on a bed and just stood back and fired it up in the house no GPS. It just sat there on the bed spinning. When I gave it a little juice it leaped off the bed up a foot then flipped off the foot of the bed onto the floor and broke all the props. That was my first experience trying to fly it all put back together. Of course once I figured out how to sync the motors and took it outside it flew just fine. The rest has been operator error and / or too much wind. May be going back to Lake Tahoe for a few days in a week or two. Will try to get some video and not drop it into the lake. Thanks so much for the app tip. I should calibrate everything in the Typhoon G again with the Typhoon program on the Macbook, I just dislike digging out that communications wire from the velcro and unhooking it. I always feel like I will break the wire getting the male / female plugs apart. Check the props before each flight. I had not check my props after 4 flights and one was absolutely more loose than the others. I was running these props and really happy with them. but one of the accidents damaged one of these props so I had to go back to Yuneec props. These props do not damage if the Typhoon G tips into the grass on a landing. Or even a crash. I had these props on through a few crashes and they paid for themselves by not snapping or breaking.
