How to Build an FPV Drone ⚒️🚁
Ғылым және технология
Here’s how I built my 7-inch Long Range FPV drone, the Aquila 7 which I use for most of my FPV flights. It can fly for up to 30 minutes and travel a distance of 20km.
This is a very simplified video on how I built this drone. A lot of steps have been skipped including the software setup etc, if you’d like to see a full video, let me know 🙂
The parts I used for this build are as follows:
Frame: Aquila 7 by RushFPV/STPHobby
FC: Foxeer F722 by Foxeer
ESC: Skystars 60A 4in1 by Skystars
Motors: EMAX Eco II 2807 1300kv by EMAX
Receiver: Matek ELRS Diversity by Matek
VTX: Caddx Vista + DJI Cam by Caddx
Buzzer: Finder 2 by ViFly

Only constructive criticism , get a good blob of flux on the solder joints ... they will then flow into nice smooth shiny joints.

I love electronics but how exactly do you get into this stuff like where do I begin. How do I get to know about all the different terms and names, their uses, the tools, what is needed, what alternatives you can use and their short names. You kind of need to know about everything, how it’s connected, the hardware, how it’s built and repaired. What cables do you use, what’s the software? Why this tool? Did you calculate the max drone weight in relation to the power to make it fly correctly beforehand? Why make it this size? It’s fascinating but also confusing

Honestly just find a project like this one and send it! You just do it tbh. You'll run into 100 problems while doing it and that's where the experience comes from.
The chat beat me to the soldering comment. But it's weird to see that digital is the new norm. I'm still a fan of analog for fast flights.

It has a little buzzer, but not a GPS. The GPS would weight about as much as that drone. You wont need it anyway, the range on those is pretty limited, so you'd be unlikely to have it far/high enough to worry. Wicked little quad though.

It is my favourite 7 inch frame! It flies really well even with Betaflight default PIDS, it's lightweight and can do long range, I've flown it over 16km. It's also really good at high speed chasing, especially if you pair it with 2806.5 1500kv motors. It's also much cheaper than other typical 7 inch frames, being only $50
