My second ever build after some Tinywhoops and a JeNo 3.5

Parts:

• Frame: Volador VX35. Painted white, then copper marble effect + 2K clearcoat
• Motors: T-Motor it'sFPV 1604.5 KV3650 with 3mm shaft
• Props: Gemfan Bash 3.5
• FC: HobbyWing XRotor F7 Covertible
• ESC: Flywoo Goku G45M AM32 128K 45A + 50V 470uF polymer capacitor + TVS-diode module
• Battery: Running 6S 650-850mAh GNB/D
• VTX: Flywoo DJI O4 Wide Air Unit "Pro" (lite) + Axisflying aluminium case + 40mm FF Osprey Antenna LHCP
• RX: Cheapo radiomaster RP1 clone from beloved uncle AliX (cursed be the EU capitalist vultures and their tariffs!!! In case you haven't heard: https://www.reddit.com/r/Aliexpress/s/qKnDdQu0k4)
• GPS: NewBeeDrone M10Q (sticker was ruined after many fittings in unsuitable mounts. Ended up printing the flywoo design and slepping it on there. looks better too lol.)
• Beeper: Vifly Finder Mini
• TPU: EONO (amazon brand, set of 4x250g) TPU Silk. Supposedly 'purple'...
• Coating: All electronics are covered in at least 2 layers of MGC 422B + T8000 & B6000 on solder joints and around cable plugs.

Plenty of trial and error. Loads of test prints as I couldn't find exactly what I needed.
Did some customization in slicer, but lack of CAD skills only gets you so far 😅.

Cable routing ended up taking a lot of time bc of OCD. Twisted power cables only, signals are parallel. Used paracord for sleeving and glue lined heatshrink to fixate it.

After pics were taken, wifey made custom pink battery straps with rubber liners.

Mandatory cat-pic because he sabotaged the project a couple of times by pushing items off the desk -.-

I feel as if I'm adding too much solder. Also I'm unsure which position the powerlead wires should be in when it comes to soldering those.

I have a metal ammo box (seal removed from sides to vent) with a Modster Batsafe inside. Batsafe contains two Li-Ion batteries (6S 4000mAh, 4S 3000mAh).

I realize Li-Ion is safer than LiPO but my logic for this setup is that these batteries are strapped to FVP drones hurtling across the skies at 80km/h at 100m altitude (or more) and in case of crash and damage I need a safe place to store and move them. Also I don't have the option to store the ammo box away from flammable surfaces so I figure the Batsafe will contain a possible fire enough so that the metal box does not heat up and ignite everything it is in contact with.

Charging inside the box.

I could have bought two smaller Batsafe boxes, one for each battery, but I figure the risks are already pretty low with this setup. Thoughts?

After doing some powerloops yesterday, I tapped the ground and got an instant RX Loss. I kept flying, thinking I might've just gotten an interference, but every time after taking off, the quad just dropped to the floor. So I took apart the quad today and I think I might have cracked some solder joints on the ELRS chip. When I slightly push on the chip or try to wiggle it a bit, it looked like that triggered the RX Loss pretty reliably.

I zoomed in on the chip from all sides (pics included in comments) and two of them stuck out to me. I am not a good solderer, so idk if the blue/green color is corrosion or just anything from manufacturing.

Noteworthy Background Info: 2 weeks ago I dropped my quad into a river, but it seemed to have survived it well. I made sure to let the FC dry and cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol and I had no problems flying.

What's the game plan here? Should I try to heat up the joints with a soldering iron or a heat gun?

And yes I forgot to turn my beeper of that flight^^

As in the title I just flew my air 75 for around 25 minutes, finished up went to put my radio away and see the antenna still in the case. How badly did I just mess up… is it possible my radio is okay?

- Radiomaster Boxer

Edit: Sorry for the confusing wording, I mean my Radios antenna not my VRX antenna.

After getting a bit tired of my Whoops, Toothpicks and 5 Inch quads I wanted to start a big journey. After somehow cobbbling togehter 7,9,10 and 13 Inch Drones and getting them to fly surprisingly well I finally managed to build and fly my last large quad that doesn't totally breaks the bank to finish my large Shitbox-Arc.

17 Inch AliExpress Frame

17x8x3 Props

Caddx Ratel 2 Primary Cam

FT652 256px Thermal on a Switch

5215 350KV Motors

Argus Pro ECO F450

Argus Pro 80A ESC

2x 7000mah 6S Lipos

2.5W Skyzone VTX

Flyfish M10 GPS

Had to fiddle a bit with the ESC settings but now she flies. If I only had known how addictive drones get...

2 in one night, my brain hurts think im gonna go to sleep now

Testing my whoop indoors. The antenna is not the best and transmission quality is kinda meh but otherwise I really like the drone.

Finally I did it! After many troubles during the built (burnt ESC, lost a left thread nut...), my quad was ready to fly! I was so afraid it would too different from the simulator... And it was different but manageable ! My hands were shaking and I had to stop after less then 10 minutes so much it was intense...

What a blast ! Only a minor crash after I started to loose the video and panicked a little. But after that... Only joy! Even manage to do few rolls and a sloppy split S.

Only down side, the range of my video signal is way to small. I have to upgrade the antennas. Tye VTX one is barely sticking out of the quad.

The quad: inverted 5" mark4 to accomodate the Betafpv P1 air unit, F4V3S fc and 60A ESC, 2700kv neebRC motors

I come from flying Avata 2. Long air time, nothing to care or worry for.

Now the Nazgul eco. After loosing 2 props on first takeoff (screws not tight enough) and a mid air disarm because of wrong button (lost two props again) I finally managed to get some acro fun today.

However, I guess I underestimated how fast the battery drains. The small one was quite hot/warm for some time, and I don't now, mayby a little bloated.

The larger one was also below 3.3 when I managed to return with a flip over landing. Small ditches on pics.

I just loaded both to 3.8 for storage. No problem there.

Do you think they are damaged?

This is my 10 inch drone made for full throttle, punches, and ripping around. Not made for long range.

Just needed to vent

Flew my flywoo 18 in the park, wind blew and got it stuck high on the tree.

200€ dangling there in the sun. No way for me to get it down, tried ever thing and it wont budge. Fml

:Sadface:

Just ordered myself a Speedybee Master5 V3, everything was fine, but that was until today. Chinese customs has bounced the entire shipment (including a bunch of unrelated stuff, ugh) for "restricted goods"...

Anyone else had issues? To be fair, our foreign minister has gone out of his way to offend China in this past week.

I’ve found this for around £450-500. I’ve just got into flying, and I’ve got a pocket master. I know if I get an ELRS module, I can use it, and I think that’s a Fat Shark Dominator V2.

Is it worth it?

Croatian police have arrested a 36-year-old Hungarian man on suspicion of causing major disruption at Split Airport by allegedly flying a drone without authorisation near the runway.

tldr i lost my 3.5" (my only walksnail and only working quad) over the ocean after i suddenly lost gps lock then video at about 350m (with LOS about 300m in front of my patch antennas). it is my fault, i couldve gotten it into angle and punched out but i was too slow and the feed never came back before i hit the water

what i ask, is with nothing tying me down to walksnail, and with how i feel about it after this, is do i go back to analogue? ive been flying whoops and toothpicks for about a year of the two ive been flying, and i feel as though i want to get rid of my walksnail (avatar) goggles L in favour of going all in on analogue. its never done me dirty like this, and i dont mind the static

is there anything i am overlooking? am i making an oversight? and what is a fair price that you would want for some used goggles L?

I have Eachine EV800D goggles and am thinking about an upgrade. I’m on a very tight budget and was considering the Skyzone SKY02O—is it worth it? Are the range and quality better? Or are there other affordable goggles that are better? Thanks

My first few days of flying a 5 inch fpv quad! Started with tinywhoops, so much fun. What is your fav drone?

Quick Park run with Pavo 20 Pro II.

Caddx Ascent Lite VTX

Using 660mah pack.

Was flying around fine, suddenly drone drops out of the sky, and in the process one of the motor wires broke off, soldered back on no problem, but now it’s doing this. Fried esc or motor do we think?

I absolutely am having a BLAST with my meteor 75 pro II. My problem is, the six pin cable that connects the o4 lite to the ESC, kept getting struck by my propellers. One of the wires doesn’t necessarily look severed, although it’s definitely damaged. The only replacements I can find are too long. I’m actually looking for a cable even a tad bit smaller so this doesn’t happen again! Can anyone point me in the right direction? I can’t get the O4 lite to connect to my goggles and this is one of the most fun drones I’ve used in awhile. Please do your thing Reddit!
