Flies great

Dec 24, 2017

Just purchased a bundled PP deal and I am enjoying this smooth flying proprietary MadCow FC airframe very much. It flies very smooth, the setup is very easy and it has lots of power. 3D mode takes some getting used to as I am just been getting my throttle curve dialed in on the stick. I have changed from full "u" curve to a little less , similiar to how I would setup stunt 1 on a heli.... the reversing is Not so similiar as collective. We may try a collective quad next!
This quad is a bargain for the pp edition and noticed they have a rtf edition on clearance now too. For the price or better of a toy quad you get the real deal in an excellent ez to use package . It doesnt get much better!

Quanum Chaotic 3D prorammation

Dec 22, 2017

Hello,
Finally, I am arrived to program the flightcontroller Madcow.
To arrive there, I proceeded in the following way:
1 - Bind the transmitter with the receiver (6 ways minimum).
2 - Mark and Unplug the ESC M1 M2 M3 M4 on the controller Madcow.
3* - Modify the USB cable by cutting the RED WIRE of the Pin 1 (+ 5V) and isolate it so as to avoid a short circuit with the mass drain, and then, prepare an external SUPPLY 5 V.
4-- Connect the receiver to the controller Madow according the notice. {Grnd 5V Aileron} on Receiver Aileron Function Ailerons. Elevator on Pin signal Receiver Elevator Function Elevator. Throttle on pin signal Recever Throttle Function Throttle. Rudder on pin signal Recever Rudder Function Rudder. Aux1 on pin signal Aux1** Receiving Function FligtModes (switch 3 Pos) Aux2 on pin signal Aux2** or Gear *** Receiver Function Arm / Disarm (switch 2 Pos)
5-- Switch on the Transmiter.
6* - Switch on the controller Madcow with a independent tension 5 V on the BEC pin.
7-- Open the programming assitant Madcow and link the USB cable modified.
8-- Proceed to the programming according to the supplied notice.
9-- Switch off the receiver and the emitter, and plug the 4 ESC on the Madcow controller.
The MADCOW 3D is now ready to fly.
==============================================================================================
* The USB port of the computer can not power the controller Madcow and the receiver at the same time, for this it is
necessary to connect the Lipo 4S battery, which probably causes a conflict of voltages between the USB power supply
and ESC Bec. This disturbs the programming.
** Program your transmitter to: Assign a 3 Positions switch to the AUX1 channel (FlightModes): Pos 1 Mode 1 (1100 µS) Pos 2 Mode 2 (1500 µS) Pos 3 Mode 3 (1900 µS)

Great Flying Quad with a Couple of Major Problems

Dec 10, 2017

Picked up this quad during a Black Friday sale and it's a lot of quad for the money. Flies great once you get it sorted. I only fly it 2D.
First, as noted by everyone else, the supplied Gemfan props are junk. Not only are they brittle and break very easily, even when holding them to tighten the retaining nuts, but have a pitch that appears to be much higher then the advertised 4.5. With these props the quad required a lot of throttle to hover and used excessive battery. After switching to 2D HQ 8x4.5 props it flew much better with less current draw related to lower motor RPM. Next I'll test 9443 "DJI style" props designed to fit this type of motor. Using a 3S 3,000mAh 25C battery, the climb rate and horizontal speed were very impressive. It's designed to fit a 2,200 size battery so the lower cover has to modified or removed to fit a larger battery.
The biggest issue I found with this quad, and one that caused mine to take off and flip over after arming, and caused at least one other verified Chaotic owner to accidentally cut up their fingers on the props when they shattered after it flipped from the same cause, is the fact that the Madcow flight controller registers the quad's resting or launching position after the battery is connected instead of when the motors are armed.
There's a green light at the front top of the Madcow FC that blinks rapidly after battery connection then slower for about 3 seconds. It's during this 3 seconds that the FC is registering the "resting" position of the quad. If the quad is moved after the registration process is completed, it will try to correct its position to whatever was was actually registered immediately upon arming and initializing the motors. Before understanding this quirk in the FC firmware, this caused my Chaotic and others to take off uncontrollably and crash after arming. Or the motors would simply start spooling up slowly until the quad would flip unless the motors where disarmed or you lifted off.
YOU MUST PLACE THE QUAD ON THE GROUND TO ITS LAUNCH POSITION IMMEDIATELY AFTER CONNECTING THE BATTERY. As long as you do this every time and don't touch the quad after setting it down, you should be ok.

gran producto

Nov 13, 2017

hay que revisar un poco todo para tener lo apunto, pero eso no es nada nuevo, es muy bueno, vale, las helices hay que comprar suficiente recambio pero en total fascinante. me funciona con 3S4000mAh15C 6 minutos, bateria ligeramente caliente con 57A de consumo, con 4S4000mAh15C, 43A. "vuelo normal". El software lo adquiri via interent y si no, os la envio, si no lo hace ya HK. Manual es casi completo y lo que hace falta de mas en HK-youtube complete lo que me faltaba por saber. Eso si, 32€ de aduana, pero los portes gratis. El resto ya veromos como se hace con el tiempo.

Watch the prop nuts

Nov 12, 2017

I highly recommend either putting Loctite on the prop nuts or getting some M6-1.00 nylon lock nuts to replace them. Due to the ability to reverse the motors, these do not always self tighten.
I also found that the FC was not mounted straight.
I does have PLENTY of power with 2200mah 4s batteries - the vertical climb rate is scary fast.

Great ESCs Motors and Frame

May 14, 2017

All in all the Hardware you get for the price is a huge deal. The ESCs are great and respond fast, they also got active braking and the motors don't heat up at all. Also the frame is very stable and is easy to see, even some 100 Meters away. The Problems i got are the following.
-My Madcow Flight controller cant handle fast signal changes. Even with the stock rates, when pushing the stick as fast into a corner as possible all motors stop spinning and the quad falls from the sky. This was leading to the next problem: The props brake on every crash, sometimes all 4 props broke. I believe this is just normal for 3d props, but its a bit frustrating if the FC is the reason for the crash. Changing the FC to a Betaflight FC and changing props to normal props(you have to drill them up to 8mm) fixed this problems.

Greatest Quadrocopter

Mar 16, 2017

Only got the Quad for a week, but it flies great(have done about 30 flights). It has enought Power so that i was able to fly with a 5000mah 4s Battery to get very long flight time. The only problems i had with my Quad were, that the Flight controller was not mounted straight, but that was a easy fix. Also the FC calibrates everytime you plug it in, so make sure to not move the quad after plugging in the battery otherwise it will freak out. Escs get only warm after flying about 15 Minutes with the 0.5kg battery and the software with its active braking is also very nice! Other than the calibration when plugged in, the FC works great, cant hear or see any vibrations at all!

Certified Buyer Rated

Jul 29, 2016

Well I bought this on the Quad sale for $50 and 4 days later I had her by DHL WOW! She is so fine. Yes a lot of parts just put together but the some of the parts are greater than the whole, this time. The only thing that lets her down was the Cockpit. It is a very light plastic (weight I guess). One last thing is that she does not come with a spare set of props. All round very good. Thanks Hobby King (HKR) Hobby King Rules! More soon!
