Bastard thing is that I crashed a couple of times yesterday and thought, "you should really order some spare parts before it breaks".... talk about tempting fate... I think I've got the software sorted.... I was unhappy with the throttle response with the old software... I had to get to 50% before the motors started and at 100% it was a bit anaemic (but flying)...So, with the new software I re-calibrated the speed controllers (ESCs).... Started her up today (armed), opened the throttle and she zoomed to about a billionteen feet in the air at the point where the props would not have even started before...I panicked, cut the power and watched it succumb to the irresistible power of gravity.... Oh woesYou could buy another one, just pretend it's a kit of sparesI should have bought two - they are only €13 - but yesterday they were out of stock so I bought spare arms instead......today they are in stock.... get one now, they'll be flying off the shelves. Only €13 and Ordered a complete kit and eight arms... oh and loadsaprops...

It was still in one piece.
