Great video! 3.5 really does seem like money for consistent and versatile freestyle. 5 Inch for performance, 2-3 inch for portable fun. But 3.5 inch is looking like the all around winner for a one and done. Working on a video right now where I fly my 65mm, 2.5in, and 5in. I came to that conclusion while filming if I remember correctly.

Thanks a lot! I do not regret investing in 3.5" quads. I was already able to improve my flying with them and sim and for me it's a cheaper and less noisy/easier to fly anywere solution. Surely a 5" still flies a bit better/is easier i think. But the benefits overweigh the downsides ;) Looking forward to see your vid 👍

Thanks for the video man. Keep sending. I'm having problems running trippies in rl. No problem in the sim. I'm running two 5" and a Crux35

The proto25 is an amazing long range drone with GPS mounts and an easy swap 03 AU setup and the Proto5 cinema racer frame is an unbreakable type of frame

Thanks, I've seen that frame and like the design and thought that has gone into it. But I don't think the 3mm one piece carbon bottom plate is so suitable for concrete or bando crashes? But must be an awesome light explorer quad.

@@McLogo76 Patrick listens to anyone's ideas to add and he'll get it done. I wanted an LED line to go through the feet of the P5 and kibby made it happen. The RX holder he originally zip tied I asked if he could make a pocket for it to sit in and he made it happen. He's truly an amazing guy to work with and talk to.

With the Moonlight camera, do you notice any reflections in your recordings or in the goggles while flying? I think it's the ND filter that's causing it, but I'm trying to see if anyone else is having a similar issue. Maybe I was unlucky and got a faulty ND filter. I have a new ND16 on the way, so I'll test that when I get it. Hopefully that's it. Thanks for the video. I'm trying to figure out a 3.5" freestyle setup. That TanQ S looks great, but maybe a little heavy. Let's Fly puts a lot of thought into his designs.

Actually not, cannot remember any reflections. I have used ND8 and ND16 so far with fixed settings. I recommend to also get an ND32 if you want to fly with fixed settings in bread sunlight. Thanks for watching mate. There should be quite a few options for frames (heavy too light) depending on what you like. I got a cased walksnail build that is 230g and the Tanq-s is around 300g.

@@McLogo76 Thanks for the tips and answering my question. It's been driving me nuts. I think it's gotta be a bad ND filter then. There are a ton of options, which is great. Probably going to try and shoot for 160-170 without a battery. So probably not the Tanq-s. I finally subbed as well, so looking forward to more videos.

Hi! Where did you find those frames in EU? I was looking a good solution for 3.5 inch sub250 for freestyle in Europe

@McLogo76

16 күн бұрын

The Pirateframes Lil Matey 2 I ordered through drone racer fpv (France) were you also can easily get spares etc. / The let's flyrc Tanq-S I did order from the states (rotor riot)... a very controversial topic currently. But the question imo is, do you really want to fly sub250 in Europe as it actually doesn't matter for us regarding restrictions (unlike in the US with remote ID). Both frames or like a Grinderino are not the lightest 3.5" frames and do also fly very well above 250g.

@@McLogo76 at least in Spain, sub250 makes a difference, if I fly a normal 5” in an urban place, I need to keep a distance of 5 meters around whatever wall, object, etc. with under 250 you don’t have that restriction. Obviously you can’t do bad things

hi! nice content! i like it and subscribe... want to ask you cause i recive my moonlight and have a problem with the OSD... cant be seen on the goggles X, y tryed all, do you think is a hardware problem inside the moonlight kit?? lil matey was a frame i want to try... but firts i bought a vx3. i need to say caddx took the time to answer....

@McLogo76

Thanks a lot! Normally the missing OSD is either the TX/RX cables mixed up or MSP/Displayport settings not set correct. In betaflight 4.4 and 4.5 you can use the preset to have it set easily. If that is not set correctly the unit will not switch to high power (with stand by mode selected) and record on takeoff will not work and you have no osd.

@@Goycrow Oh wow, so it was a HW issue. I can fly about 3mins 20 seconds on a rarher large open space with the gnb 720 HV. If its a smaller space it will be longer. I'm happy with the HQ Prop 3.5x2.5x3 - I like the feel better than with GF props. And I think they cost around 2 - 3$ depending were you buy them. Have fun flying!

Do you notice a big difference in flight characteristics between the tang-s and the little matey? the mate is a deadcat frame so im curios about its performance. a second thing of interest is the placement of the walksnail moonlight cam. on most o3 based frames it fits, but it sticks out the front and has little protection. On the matey it looks flush with the front if the ND filter is mounted. Could you move it further back?

@McLogo76

16 күн бұрын

If you use the same electronics, motors and presets/settings you will not notice much difference, no. With the Moonlight cam it is the ND filter that can stick out slightly, the cam itself wouldn't. It's the furthest back I can place it with the standard TPU mounts... you could change the stl files to have the holes slightly further back however.

I think they are in stock again. Btw. after flying some more I think you can feel the difference as the squashed X (Tanq-S) has more authority on the pitch/roll axis and the lil matey2 feels a bit more stable with the longer dead cat... but I guess I wouldn't notice if I only had one of them. 😉

Hoï! What motors would you recommend for a good freestyle basher? I tried 1404 and it’s much too weak. I now have some 2004… but then the 250g limit is almost there (I’m on 4s, same packs as you, with vista). 2004 have some good grunt but I’m sure I can get the same with lighter motors.

i have 2 grinderinos and 3 discus frames 3.5 inch is great everything over 250g i like to fly on 6s with 2950kv motors i love to fly them the flytime is awesome i use hdzero and a thumb pro might be upgrading to a go3s maybe i made a 3PV mount for one of my discus frames for the ultimate podracer few :D ps.: i had some insane crashes with the grinderino and still only bend props ^^

Nice choice mate! I actually wanted to get the Grinderino but they were not available during that time period. What size of motors are you flying? As with my early 230g AOS I found the 1404 to be enough with 4s and above 250g I really like the 1604 motors. I guess in larger spaces 6S is even more suitable ;) Have fun
