    I need a few BAD X-star batteries to rebuild

    I have one I can send you, I'm in MN.

    Goodbye XSP

    I still use mine on a regular basis, mainly for lake weed surveys at my cabin. I like it so much in fact that I bought a lightly used XSP from eBay as a backup. I use a Yuneec Typhoon H+ as my main business UAV though.

    Hot motors

    Too hot is when you can't hold them for longer than 10 seconds or so. Once the motors get too hot it starts to degrade the magnets. I had this issue when building a few RC planes; the motor specs specify a prop size (with the appropriate ESC) and a few motors got way too hot (190F+). Upping...

    Battery blessings confirmation

    Awesome. I've been searching for extra batteries for the last 4 months. Good news indeed!

    Motor issue

    Any chance Autel has a procedure to re-calibrate the ESC? Only reason I'm asking as years before when I first started building quads using simple KK boards there were certain steps to take to make sure the ESC (or multiple ESC's) were in sync with the motors. Almost looks like the ESC for that...

    Tablet question

    I use a 10" Tab A and the live video is very smooth. I think the 10" version has an 8 core processor and the 7" only a quad core. I'm not a real 'techy' person so maybe that's why the 7" live video feed is choppy.

    First flight(s) observations

    Did one more 15 minute flight this time using my Galaxy Tab A 10" tablet. Very little lag and the app didn't crash when I switched from video to photos. I guess I'll be using the tablet from now on.

    First flight(s) observations

    Hi- I did two 15 minute flights with my new XSP today at my lake cabin. The XSP flew very well in 6-10 mph winds. Since I'm getting the feel for the new quad I only flew in GPS mode and didn't do any waypoints or any other fancy modes yet. Took off and landed manually (didn't use the auto...

    Ok, thanks. I'll do a few flights first and see how I like it and then go from there.

    X-Star Premium & X-Star WiFi FIrmware Issues Version Now @ 2.0.12 Final

    New guy here. I bought my XSP a few days ago and I'm not sure if the quad has the latest FW. How do I find what version is currently installled? And should I bother updating? Thanks.

    Hi from Minnesota

    Tom here from Stillwater MN. Bought my XSP a few days ago and looking forward to flying it at my cabin in WI this weekend. I've been flying quads for about 5 years now. Sold my 3DR Robotics Iris+ last year due to numerous issues with it (flew great when programmed properly but the gimbal was a...
