I’ve built a drone with an APM 2.8 flight controller, F450 frame, 3S LiPo battery, and a FlySky CT6B remote. Motors and wiring seem fine, but it keeps beeping. Can someone help me figure this out?
You’re only 12? That’s amazing, keep it up .

And no props? You’re already ahead of some of us.

What’s puberty got to do with drones?

It can be rough, but you’ll get through it like everyone else. You’ll be fine.

Don’t let them discourage you. Just remember to balance your hobbies with making friends and socialising. I was into tech stuff at your age too, but I wish I’d spent more time with people around me. Share your work with friends—it feels great to get real-life validation, not just online.
Have you tried configuring it with Mission Planner software? It might fix the beeping.
It’s awesome seeing someone so young into this hobby! But is it really safe for a 12-year-old to be on this forum?

If the person posting can build this, they’re not here for candy discussions.
Is your battery fully charged? Some flight controllers beep when the voltage is low.
I don’t have a solution, but for a 12-year-old, you’re doing amazing.
It kinda looks like an IED…

Yeah, I get that a lot.
If it was Betaflight, I’d say check the setup screen on the right for error messages. That’s where I’d start fixing it.

This isn’t Betaflight—it’s Ardupilot.

Ah, got it. Try searching for ‘Ardupilot continuous beeping.’ These links might help:
Find the source of the noise. A quick snip with wire cutters might do the trick.

That’s not a good idea. The sound is probably a warning, and removing it won’t solve the real issue.
There are some good YouTube videos on this type of drone.
