I just built a normal QAV-S a few weeks ago! By far the best frame I've flown in a long time.

Was just about to build out the qav-s. Perfect timing for the JB version to arrive! My first purple shirt and I can't believe how much I like it on me. I really love the cross-lock thingies! Ripped the props yesterday, nice! I have all those stickers too. (Insert evil laugh) FPV dynamics is amazing, thought it was stupid but couldn't put it down. It absolutely has improved my flight also. Great box. I love you man, sorry couldn't help it.

this frame is insane, kudos to the designer!

Thank you Joshua for improving the design of this frame. Just got my hands on one and it's awesome! 👌

This is awesome. I have the standard QAV-S, and I love this frame. This is awesome 😁👍

Looks awesome, maybe I will build my first quad now. I really enjoy how thoroughly you described the changes you made, as well as the features that made you prefer this frame.

You are always a pleasure to watch. Your enthusiasm for what you are doing is infectious!!!

Can;t wait to get my hands on this QAV-S ..frame on order, great job Joshua, since I started getting into the hobby 3 years ago your reviews have saved my a** many times over. The frame looks awesome, I have no doubt the performance will be amazing, just hope my build goes to plan.

love the several opps throughout the video. good thing its a year later and im sure all these issues have been fixed. starting to get into the hobby, skimming through JB channel and im learning something everyday. thanks JB

Badass frame! Finished building, and hovered mine yesterday (couldnt wait for the rest of the crates to finish it...lol)

I am just putting together my first drone, so it looks like this will be the frame!!! I can't wait to get some help on what to get for it!! Also, the shirt is sick. Thanks JB

Awesome frame! I have the qav-s from the earlier box and that one flies so nice! Cant wait to put this frame to use. I like that the one piece top plate gets rid of that center stand-off that made wiring kind of a pain! good work JB!

Glad you have your own frame, I too have his frame, only its the pro-type frame in the 7 inch version, total genius locking arms!

Ooowwwww 7" arms 🤩😍

That's a pretty solid box! Waiting on mine to be delivered in a few days

Can't wait to see the build!

I have built three quads in the last month! a Micro with 1202 motors and a Crazybee F4 FC, a 6s 5" with an F7 FC and finally a 3" with an F411 and 1408 8000kv motors. This is one reason I love this hobby! If you can dream it, you can build it!

You made an already perfect frame an awesome piece of art. Well done 👍

Can hardly wait to get my new frame! Thanks JB!

I like it very much, ordered right now from GetFPV waiting for restock soon..... it will cost custom duty and VAT because I am Italian but it worth every buck, thanks for you video I'm growing up day by day thanks to you.

I need horns good job J-B glad to see you got Wicked cool frame👊👊😎🤙

Thanks for the build video JB😃👍

So glad you made the top one piece. Just bought it.

Awesome that you made sure the frame came with motor screws. Maybe they will continue in the future doing this and other frame manufacturers will catch on

Awesome frame, Joshua! Fantastic work! 😃 Great review as well! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Great looking frame JB. Great job.

What an amazing milestone to achieve!!! Congrats

Already backordered... Congrats!

I got a set of your hurricane props 2 weeks ago, I'm extremely surprised about the durability. Highly recommend!

Late to the party, still waiting on my box:) Can't wait, thanks JB

Got it love it. Was going to do 100% JB parts, well combo esc with JB F7, but in stock items are a little thin these days. Once the motors are back in stock, I will retro fit to have the complete JB build. For now IFlight gold camo.

Congrats on your frame. It has taken a looong time for you to make one. It looks good.

Beautiful JB congratulations.

Nice one JB

pretty good! im currently leaning towards another frame, but i think id be more than happy with that frame.

I must have this quad! Perfect for for my JB F7 FC and esc stack😍

of course I already got mine :) Happy Fly!

Thanks for sharing, still waiting for mine

Really nice frame JB, outstanding.

HI Joshua you ruin my surprise but I'm very excite to be getting the JB frame. cant wait

Love the shirt that came.(listening to purple rain)

Been flying the prebuilt for a little bit now. Ripped out the stupid FrSky receiver, tried to get ELRS working, no luck, so opted for Tracer & so far it's been great. The tune is very much for beginners so I'm having to tweak that but all in all I'd recommend the prebuilt if you have FrSky or are willing to do a little work. Flies great.

9:31 The flies in the background actually scared me, yeah awsome frame, I know I'm a bit late to the party but I'm using this frame in my first build and it's been great so far.

Should get mine today. Cant wait 😎

Hu, I have the exact tweezers as you JB... the ones with the wooden handles riveted on. Grip a bit tight for most jobs I find, but still invaluable.

Great idea about the arms

Liking the T-Shirt!

Wow, even the 3d Printed parts have a certain refinement to them. I like designing my own frames, but it looks like I won't have to for a while 😄

Those tiny cheese wedges are genius from a manufacturing standpoint. There's always so much unused carbon on each sheet between the arms. The arms have to run parallel to the fibers, and the motor end and the big Y-end probably keeps Lumineer from getting the arms really close together on the plate. Aside from wear on the cutter, the cheese wedges are probably free! Please tell Ryan that I said he did a good job!

Thank you, Joshua. You are really awesome. Please, could you do a review about the MoonGoat frame? Thank you!

Congratulations 🍾🎉

I haven’t gotten my box yet but I can’t stop watching 😳

Love the frame.. I have a Sensei with a Bardwell f4 stack.. Guess I gotta swap to the JB frame..

Seems like a winner.

That purple looks good

Ha! he told us what was in the box before it launched during one of the livestreams.

That book was my favorite part 💯🙌

Curious to compare this with the Johnny edition

It's lickey-lickey liked! 👍

Nice! Now if I wanted to use the Vista unit which FC and ESC would you recommend?

Yayyy! I just ordered me some purple 2306 NextGen Xing Motors for this frame baby! What's up!

I love your shirt!

Just ordered mine 👍🏻

I wish you did do more unboxing, as well as reviews. You are very knowledgeable in this hobby, and it would be a valuable asset to the community. There's lots of drones I am interested in, and I always wonder what is actually in the box? What does bardwell think of it? and I do not get those answers.

So excited for this to be my first build! Any insight as to what the other components you will be using for your build? Would like to order them and build along with you for the build video.

Thanks Joshua! Are you going to tell me what I’m getting for Christmas as an encore?

Nicely laid out and designed frame! Yeah, I'll buy one, go to GetFPV and guess what.. Back Ordered.. Who woulda thought.. :D

Great stuff men.and i just finish the build came out really nice and is going to be my first 6S ow since is going to be my first 6S i was thinking on get me one 6S and one 5S batteries and start with 5S ? what u guys think?

Building it right now. Only thing I don't like is the 27mm front standoffs. They are so hard to get replacements for without buying the replacement pack. And I wanted to change the colors

ok now i gotta get one.❤️

patiently waiting for perfect build

Love the purple ... can't wait to see what you will use with this built! Thx ¶ :-)

awesome crate and awesome looking frame but I am missing quite a bit of screws. All good since I have spare from other builds but hope this gets checked out.

@QuadMcFlyFlies

If you're missing screws that should be there please let GetFPV know. You can check the product listing on the website for the screws that are supposed to be available in the frame. If the factory made packaging errors they will definitely want to know.

I’m super bummed. FedEx lost mine in Georgia and now it’s sold out. Looks like an awesome frame.

Just put your frame together man. It was super simple, as long as you follow a combination of your vid and the directions, but don't rely on just the directions. The M3x25mm stack screws fit, they're close, maybe about 2mm from the top plate, but they do work. Might've been the deltas between your prototype and what was sent in the box, but they're good brother. Great job. Have a new field shirt, cool stickers, sweet props, and needed tool as well.

Never mind. The x-plate was floating, which made it appear that the 25mm screws were good. Still a great frame and look forward to getting it in the air.

Wish I had gotten paid a day earlier, they were out of stock before I could get a box.

I only have one question.... Is there a UK stockist of your gear. Got the primal QAV 250 it's years old and very brittle but it's my favourite. But now I'm convinced that the QAV-S is my next build. Your update of lumineers frame is perfect exactly as you describe! Cheers dude😁

I just built the Johnny FPV version and would like to build Joshuas version but its on back order at Getfpv. Are there any other places selling it??

The more I see it the better it looks. Looks like an futuristic apex.

It's a bit tricky putting it together the first time but what a great design!

Looking forward to this build... unfortunately my crate is on hold in Cincinnati... and I’m in the UK!

Micro camera mount, does this mean you are switching to the nebula pro? I'm a big fan of the nebula pro, only thing I don't like is that flimsy camera cable but that's more of a Vista thing

Is this a good beginner fpv frame to start with?

Joshua bardwell you made mention of horned arms that would be sold separately. Thats kinda why i went with this frome my glide and im super bummed. Will this still happen?

I got 1 cuz of u. And it lived up to the bardwell name

Neat!

Nice work JB! Well thought out and full of useful details. One question tho: any plans to make a HD version of it for us who want to fly digital w/o a gopro? Looks like we’re gonna have to stick with the caddx air unit micro for a while…really looking forward to an hd frame with better weight distribution ie less tail-heavy!

@QuadMcFlyFlies

3 жыл бұрын

The JohnnyFPV frame is specifically designed to work with the Air Unit, and it's as close as it can be to the main stack and still fit. Might still be a tad tail heavy without a GoPro out front, but shouldn't be too bad.

I have the exact pair tweezers you have! Got them at hobby lobby

Except for easy arm switching, is there any benefit of this +- 75 euro frame over like a source one frame for like 30 euro? Things that matter like: weight, quality of the carbon, weak points, ... ?

I just got my QAV-S kit yesterday. I am having a hard time getting the cheese blocks in. I know you mention this in the video, but I cannot pry or stretch the arms in any direction that gets me even close, and I have giant gorilla hands. I wonder if I should try sanding them down until I get a good snug fit......

I’m really feeling this frame, tho I have the original something about this one just sits right. When can we expect the horned arms?? Also the manual (thanks for including) mentions “customized arm skid” will there be a specific set of skids for your build?
