Inexpensive and very stable and fast

Mar 23, 2018

Excellent drone, ready to use with your radio and battery.
Programmed with LibrePilot GCS. A lot of feature.
Very stable in flight and very reactive and fast.
Now fly with 3s 2200 mah.
Average ampere drawn is between 10/18.
But i have one questione for who have buyed the drone...
the green and red navigation LEDs in the drone flash 1 time every 2 seconds. Is there a way to keep them fixed?
In addition there is a connector for servo that stick out from the bottom of the frame, on the instruction sheet of the drone says that server to manage the LEDs ... how?

The board is easy to setup using libreflight, I used the generic quad X preset and did minimal PID tuning. I used an orange RX and just set it up in PWM without issue.
My first flight was not great, there was a lot of oscillation that turned out to be due to frame screws loosening in flight.... upon landing I had lost about 5 screws with others about to fall out, as a result, one of the carbon arms could be moved up and down substantially and was the source of the oscillations. The inconvenience is that the screws have a special shoulder that helps to locate the carbon frame, I was unable to find these screws anywhere so had to improvise with normal capheads (2.5mm). My advice is before doing anything, dissasemble all frame parts, loctite screws and reassemble quad.
Subsequent flights have been really good, I did have two of the silicone mounting knobs for the board come off causing a drift and small crash so check them every now and then.
Otherwise a great little quad at a really good price, well worth buying!

HK SMACK TF250C P&P

My first drone, I have programmed the FC with Librepilot and Librepilot2Go without problems; resists impacts, once FC programed, very stable; I am using Futaba T6EX TX and 617RX and all is correct

Good quad

Worked ok as received using PWM. Flashed it with Cleanflight and it no longer worked on PWM but worked brilliantly on PPM, better than when new on Openpilot firmware. Uses CC3D flight controller which works well but cannot support external barometer for altitude hold and from end of 2017 will no longer be supported by updates to Cleanflight firmware. This is fine if you don't want to fiddle with it! Power distribution board is Model TF, Hobbyking number 9111000010-0 with 5V BEC and LED control output

Smack 250 P n P is excellent!

For the money, you get carbon fiber frame with thick arms. Hobby Wing ESC, Emax motors.
The board is a CC3D, could be better, but it WORKS really well for ME. It even had taps on the board so I could add FPV without having to solder wires, just plugged in my 5.8 g rx, plugged in my 2.4 rx, set up my PIDs and went flying. THIS IS A GOOD BUY. Nuff said.

Nice Quad

Feb 18, 2017

Fun to fly at a great price point. I had to search for the power dist. board.

"TF Model ESC and LED lighting power distribution board suitable for most quads and multi-rotors including SMACK TF250, OrcaTF280, TF650, TF680 and TF690.  A 3 position control channel can be setup to change the LED from Solid, Slow blinking and fast blinking LED lights."

Just wish I had an extra channel on my Orange RX now.
Also! Do NOT use LibrePilot GCS. Find an old copy of OpenPilot.
