    Motor came off when removing propeller

    Great advice. You should always use the prop removal tool when removing the prop. A friend of mine tried removing a prop by pulling on it, and pulled the motor out.

    Tello Positioning system not working correctly?

    I assume that the calibration that you already did was the IMU calibration. The other calibration that is grayed out would be the Gravity calibration. in order to do the Gravity calibration, the Tello has to be hovering. These instructions are from the TelloFPV App manual - "Adjust the motor...

    Looking for a Flypad?

    An option to get a Parrot Flypad is to buy a Parrot Swing drone that comes with the Flypad. DroneNerds has it for $50. I've also seen some new ones for sale on FaceBook MarketPlace for as low of $40, just make sure it comes with the Flypad. This way you get the Flypad plus another drone, that...

    This might be the WiFi repeater that TelloMellow mentions. Amazon.com: TP-Link AC750 Wireless Portable Nano Travel Router(TL-WR902AC) - Support Multiple Modes, WiFi Router/Hotspot/Bridge/Range Extender/Access Point/Client Modes, Dual Band WiFi, 1 USB 2.0 Port: Computers & Accessories

    Poor wifi signal after half a meter

    So going by the explanation of the 2 antennas, they seem to be redundant. It looks like only one antenna, with the strongest signal, is used. So if one of the antennas fails for some reason, say broken, the other one should be enough, maybe not the best. Is that right, or am I understanding this...

    Thanks for the reply. I was looking at these motors. They seem to be the same as the ones at Banggood...

    Replaced motor problems

    Have you heard back from Ryze? Have you tried using any of these motors yet? I emailed the seller of the RCGEEK motors, that I tried. They said that the kv is not the same as the original Tello motors. That's why the flight time is less and the motor gets hot. Even though they say that they are...

    Motor issues

    I just replaced the rear CCW motor with this exact RCGEEK motor. After replacing it, flight time went from about 11-12 minutes down to about 7 minutes and the motor was very hot. Also, the Tello was bobbing up and down, while hovering and also slowly yawed to the right. I tried both CCW motors...

    Replaced motor problems

    Thank you for that information. Reading a few more TelloPilot posts, it looks like an important spec is the motor should be 15000 KV. The RCGEEK motors didn't give that spec. One poster mentioned that He/She replaced a bad motor and then the flight time went from 10 minutes down to 5 or 6. H/S...

    Replaced motor problems

    Thanks for replying.These are the motors that I bought. They say they are for the Tello. A lot of good reviews, but one review does mention that the motor gets hot. While looking for motors, I noticed that a lot of them have different specs (Load/No Load RPMs and Current).Does anyone know the...

    Replaced motor problems

    After a crash, the rear CCW motor stopped working. I ordered a set of RCGEEK motors. I replaced the bad motor, with the new CCW motor. I did not run the wires to the mother board. I cut the wires from the mother board, in the middle of the motor arm (strut?), then cut and soldered the wires from...

    First quadcopter!

    Welcome. That was good news, getting it back. If you already haven't read about this, when flying outside, it's a good idea to remove the prop guards. It's like hanging an ornament on a Christmas tree . I learned from experience. I fortunately got mine down. Enjoy your new toy.

    Follow Me Android App, Beta testers needed for my Tello Vision 1D

    Thanks for that suggestion. I cleared app data & cache, but the version is still May 21. I also tried it on my wife's phone, which unfortunately, is the same as mine (Moto E4). Also version May 21. Is it the phone? I'm going to see if anyone that I know can check to see what version their phone...
