Oh! I eventually found the quad. It crashed into a compound about 1km away.
The issue was that the receiver's antenna got loose and made contact with a propeller which severed it.

To activate features like perimeter protection or RTH, you would need to be running a GPS enabled FC like Naza or Arduino.

I'll upgrade to those later though.

Thank you, bro

These things can be tricky, bro. A crash can dent your wallet and dampen enthusiasm. So you gotta learn to fly them right.

I have a supplier that sends batteries from US. Shipping is free.
Let me know what you need and I'll check the cost for you.
I just got 3 new lipos myself

How much did those go for and what are the ratings?

You can get a 4Ch Rx/Tx around $60. There are a number of options so your need and budget would decide what you go for eventually

Hi, guys.
Not sure if anyone is still following this thread.
I actually took a break to gain more knowledge after my quad crashed.
I'm thinking of dusting the thread and posting pics of stuff I've made.
I'll be back!

Can someone explain to me how Aliexpress works... and how you'll receive the items??

When you register on aliexpress, you should provide your address. Also provide the area's postal code.

You will also register a debit card (ATM card) on your profile.
Purchases are charged to this card at the prevailing exchange rate.

Item will be shipped to the post office closest to your address where you will pick it up.

It's actually that simple

Wow Thanks.... But I heard they're not too secured and some items are not to be too trusted.....

KronicMorris:

There is security to a reasonable extent.
You can get a refund if the item fails to reach you. You can also get full or part refund if you can prove the item isn't as seller described.

To avoid issues, read feedback on the seller sent in by folks who already bought from him. Also, ensure you read full item description before committing your money.

Lastly, choose traceable shipping option. This often means you have to pay for shipping but you will have a tracking number that would allow you trace your item end to end.

KronicMorris:

I have the 9x too but mine is mode 2. I see you've made some software and hardware updates. Mine however is stock- no back light light, no firmware update. Nice setup you've got.

Thanks, man. The stock TG9X is impossible to tune in low light. Also, firmware update brings in so many options that I won't be changing TX in a long time.
I still need to upgrade the module (tx and Rx) to Frsky so I can enable failsafe on signal loss.
It seems to be an issue as i crashed twice this week while testing my latest quad (F450, Kk 2.1.5 HC FC).
I'll post pictures shortly

nettra:


fpv?

Mostly but I'm not ready yet. The flight controller seems unstable and tuning didnt help.
Maybe faulty sensors.
I've ordered a new one and will continue when it arrives.
Meanwhile, I'm testing an F450 running Kk2 board and will start an F500 frame (with naza FC) next week.

where do you stay, do you mind contacting me, let us talk 07038782529
