Hi from an old newbie in Teesside

[AK7466]

After retiring I built a quad from scratch using components from the web, It flies but only just.

I am hoping that there may be some advice nearby.

Hi, there are a few of us on here who build our own drones , why don’t you start with posting some pictures on:

Look forward to seeing your build

Thanks for your prompt and warm response.
I have attached a couple of pics as you suggested.
(the string is part of some ongoing tethered PID tuning! )

That looks like a cool build, PID tuning is always a hassle and takes a lot of time!

I posted a link to the “So…whats on your bench at the moment”

So... what's on your bench at the moment?

Whilst many GADC members fly ‘out of the box’ drones there are quite a few of us who like to build our own. I, for one, seem to spend more time building than flying. In this category let’s share what we are up to with our quad builds and benefit from our fellow members experience.

This is a good place to share your build with like-minded soldering fanatic’s!

I have a similar build that I am on with at the moment

So... what's on your bench at the moment?

I suspect I may have uploaded these pics to the wrong page.

Moved for you, and welcome to GADC
