Tomorrow I start tuning my fifth quad-copter. Well I actually started yesterday so let me tell you about that first. I purchased a flight controller (FC) online, installed it and when I got to the part about connecting the receiver and transmitter it would not work. I found out after much research and examining the FC that the PPM resistor was missing. So I went about installing the Naze32 FC that I salvaged from the last crashed quad-copter. I had to re-solder a few connections but I got it to work. Half way through tuning yesterday motor #3 kept dropping out. That FC is now garbage. I purchased a new FC yesterday afternoon, got it programmed and installed, I will start tuning it tomorrow. Hopefully I don't crash or destroy the frame. As soon as I have it tuned I will post a tuning video. In the mean time here is a quick history of my builds and frames.
Here are some photos

| ZMR250 Destroyed in a crash with some rocks in Yuma. Rebuilt another after losing the one below in the desert. |

Emax Nighthawk 250 Few away and destroyed the frame, replaced the top plate at least once. Built a second one after destroying in it when it flew away and lost it in the desert south of Tucson
That's it for my post. I'll post a photo of my new frame some time later.
