After buying an Hubsan X4 H107L, used H107D off ebay then stressing over a build list for weeks. I finally pulled a trigger and purchased a ZMR250 kit and take the build one step at a time.

I picked up the Dragonfly32 pro for $22 during the black Friday sale. It shipped incredibly fast from Multirotor Mania and I immediately recognized that my Naze32 certainly malfunctioned.... its already beyond the point of return and soldered so i can't RMA back to fpvmodel.com.
Its likely I kept the iron on longer that i should have... who know's? Maybe it was a manufacturing fault. Also, immediately connect your FC to a computer and confirm its functionality.
If you want the best bang for your buck try the Quanum V2 headset at HobbyKing.
I have a few problems. The gyro sensors don't appear to work on my naze32 afroflight rev6 in cleanflight or baseflight. Flight controller movement isn't detected at all. I used the "unbricking" tutorials and re-flashed the firmware and restore defaults. Rebooting also seems to be an issue in CLI and Putty. I have to unplug the usb and reconnect to get back into cleanflight to continue with the configuration settings.
Another issue I'm having is with motor #3. The motor can engage in low Rpms in cleanflight but it won't spin when I'm applying 50% throttle though my Taranis. I've also tilted the quad toward and away from the motor and still no luck. The other motors appear to have no issues.
I believe my issues is with my flight controller and not the ESC because of my gyro issue. I' don't think I can return it since I've already soldered the pins so I've ordered another naze32.
I found threads with similar issues but they were all remedied by either the fc firmware, cold solder joints or ESC calibration.
Assembly wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.
Any thoughts?
I have a Traxxas 2933 EZ-Peak Plus 6-Amp LiPo/NiMH Charger. I'm assuming i can use it to charge the Lumenier lipo's if I purchase a "XT60 male and 4.0 Banana Male Cable".. right?

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..

This build is nearly complete. I’m just waiting on a few screws and also need to decide where to mount the minimosd.
I ended up ditching the Naze(wish it worked), DYS sn20a ESC's, FRSky X8R(too bulky - maybe i'll build a larger multi), the Sony effio FPV cam and the ZMR 250v2 PDB. The PDB shorted an ESC and even my VTX. I swear the polarity was correct and my VTX accepts a wide voltage range. Thankfully the VTX still worked but the power cable melted. I ended up direct soldering cables to the VTX until I can find a replacement cable.
