Learn to Build a 5" Freestyle FPV Drone 🎓 www.darrenfpv.com/buildmasterclass-5freestyle

I bought this too. I'm quite satisfied with this drone. Pretty cheap, enough to fly. I was embarrassed because they don't provide any manual or explanation about the spec. Thanks for more information!!

I bought TCMMRC 1507 motors for my 3 inch build and they started shucking magnets almost immediately. So i would probably upgrade the motors first.

thats awesome :D thanks for that vid. and thats pretty sad on vtx... the image is way too bad prop wash just impossible, excited to see how you will fix that

I don't know about a custom re-tune. But... - Betaflight 4.3 - BF 4S 5" Freestyle preset - BlueJay for RPM Filtering on the ESC Personally a fan of the S4 props

@shadai7398

@@DarrenAllatt the presets with maybe a couple of filter tweaks with bluejay was what I was generally referring to. I figure some low pitch props will help a lot with that propwash problem. Could probably go as high as a 4.5 pitch prop and be fine. I'd probably start low with the 4 and see if it has enough to punch out first.

What is model name?

You said that you had to select your port for your RX....I am installing Frsky...Which port did you select?....thx....

I'd get an Ratel 2 and upgrade the props (I use Racerstar 5048 since I am cheap). You already fixed the VTX and antenna, I think thats decent. Then install a buzzer and change the EP2 out for an EP1 to get better range.

there is a 30 dollar drone on aliexpress and it comes with the controller and goggles and is used for fpv and you can buy a seperate crossfire

As for your review of the quad I would change the following. 1 yes props I would go with gemfans windancers or whisky's 2 camera go with caddx for FPV or digital 3 VTX hdzero or DJI 4 motors 2700kv for speed That would I do.

Noooooooooo don't spend $100 to upgrade it. Go in a different direction...just try to see how little u can spend to get it to fly properly. I think that would be more useful to know whether you can spend $84 + minimum upgrades, props and tune it as is and see if it does any better.

Very cool vid I like this style of vid not sure what I would do with a $100 so I'll just have to wait and see what you do can't wait to see the follow up cheers

I never even tried those props they went straight into the trash , plus I had got mine in late August and same everything except BF 4.3 so it flew pretty well. I did upgrade vtx to Iflight sucexx it was a tight fit in the back I actually had to re-solder the battery cable to get the vtx under the power wires. The stock vtx wasn’t terrible but I had an extra vtx so I threw it in along with a Camera and now it is my favorite flyer. I know own 3 of these and they all came in perfect condition and I do consider myself a bit lucky in that regard.

People didn't get the video propose. Nice video! For the price I think it is good. I would change the propellers too

With such low prices for hardware you have to think, what are they missing to produce it at this price. Typically the first thing cut from production is QA.

hi and thanks for the informations! just a question, did you solder the elrs receiver to that sbus connector (with just 3 cables)?

@DarrenAllatt

2 жыл бұрын

No, although ELRS now has functionality to use SBUS; I wired it to UART 5 - tx to rx and RX to tx because the Fc will send telemetry back to the radio.

Cheapest means cheap, low quality parts, which break, burn out, don't work from the get go, or some other way of failing is bound to happen ... And soon! So, after you spend your $100 Upgrading your garbage quad, you'd be better off just spending the total sim of money on a good quality quad, with great quality parts, in the first place! 👍 Guys, don't buy this Junk! They're problems right out of the gate ... Just like he had! They will end up costing you double, or more likely triple, your original cost in the first year or two of ownership! Repairs galore!!!
