Hi Van,
Scroll down past the poll stuff to posts #1 and #3. In those posts you will find info on the ESCs and other Mega helpful Indexed links and build, motor, ESC, frames and tuning tips from Gents who posted their helpful details on successful multicopter builds. Hope that helps
Cheers,

Ok so I've just had my first esc-programing experience. can someone tell me if this looks like it's going to work?

Turn the brake off, battery typeto Ni, cut off to low and start mode to normal. Everything else is correct.

Scroll down. Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Thanks guys...

rebind rx?, it happens

did that. still nothing. reciever works in all other quads. on the gcs i get no reciever connected. i unplugged and repulged in everything.

on the new gcs should i use the openpilot or the copter control firmware. i have tried both copter control firmwares. and it reads the board just not my rc equipment. everything was working fine on my old computer. but it crashed and so on this pc i loaded tyhe newest gcs. and redid the board.

take a look at the vid.

I think someone better do some actual prop testing on it before recommending a 12A ESC for a 65g motor spinning a 12x3.8 prop. Just on its specs, I would say at least a 30A ESC, and I would still want to see actual test results.

@tc3wins, CopterControl, OpenPilot is for the INS/Pro not the board you have.

You will probably have to reset the board now as it will be mighty confused ;-)

@Anatoly +1 for that a minimum of an 18A speed controller I would have thought.

I was able to get the old program back on and it works. I just read all the info on updating to the new version of the copter control. will try the update later today. Thanks.

Had an identical issue today, loaded latest GCS, connected to a board that has an older firmware - did not recognise the Reciever.

Will load up the new firmware to see if it makes a diference, it probably will

Firmware versions are tied to their GCS version, they go hand in hand if you update one, update t'other.
