Build Log - Progress Sometimes Means Breaking Things
Progress sometimes – often? – involves breaking things. I spent the better part of the day getting the quadcopter talking to the transmitter, and just when I thought I had things figured out, the beast angrily leapt from the table and crashed onto the floor, breaking a glass, severing one of the leads on my tester, and in the process shattering one of the props and embedding the broken end in a roll of duct tape.

This is progress! I’ve since removed the props until I can figure out exactly why the surge of aggression. I’ve got lots of props, so hopefully I can get through the early stages of the project with an intact quadcopter and all of my fingers.

3 Thoughts on “Build Log – First Casualty

  1. Clearly the thing has become sentient already. Dismantle it and bury the parts in the 4 corners of the earth.

  2. Are those cheap plastic props? If so, look no further for your problem. Through trial and error over the years and through other enthusiast input I only trust Graupner propellers and Aeronaut propellers for Electric craft. Check them out.
