Water "proofing" your FPV drone - How to get it done and what to avoid
Winter is coming...well for some of us FPV pilots it is anyway. Flying in the wetter season sometimes means destroying more quads from water damage, but it doesn't have to! Let's look at what options are available for making your drones water resistant, what to avoid, and how to get it done.

SpeedyBee has been rocking it in the budget FPV electronics market for a while now, but they haven't been without their issues. If you ever ran their F405 V3 stack, you probably had some issues with blackbox logging, OSD, or maybe even letting the smoke out of your ESC on occasion. Does the new F405 V4 fix any of it, or is it just the same stack with a different number tagged on the end? Lets f...

    you should try running in the bearings. when you mount new motors and fire it at max rpm 30k+? without running in there is not distributed lubricant properly and you propably destroy bearing tracks because there are microscopic fabrication marks from factory. maybe only difference is that more expensive motors are runned in at factory :)

    When I first thought of using Quest2 as FPV goggles, I only found similar setups via PC -> oculus streaming. But everybody was complaining about latency. I don't know if anything changed since my last attempts, but now I figured out that you can easily setup analog FPV setup using oculus without computer at all. You don't even need a capture card. There are cheap AV receivers with UVC output over USB. And you can plug it into oculus quest 2 directly. I was testing it today with a regular usb webcam. and it works great. Latency was ~100ms if I measure correctly. But it's hard to do with oculus. Tomorrow I'll get the mentioned receiver and will test it with the full analog fpv setup.

    I am so glad I am trying the simulator first. I would have wrecked my first drone in the first flight. Within an hour I was able to fly around all the gates without crashing. Simulator is a must for a poor boy like me! Practicing while I'm saving up. Going to get a controller first that I can use with the simulator. Then building a cheap drone so I can learn how to fix it after crashing

      Definitely get a bunch of spare props, even with more skill you'll be happy you have them. Have fun with your sim time, if you're just forcing yourself to do drill after drill it can get boring, but if you're having fun with it doing the type of flying you plan on doing every so often it's definitely easier to learn.

    First of all great video and thank you for it and you make it look easier than it is. I just bought my first freestyle quad a week ago. I don’t even have a dozen packs through it yet and I can kind of do a sloppy juicy about 30 feet off the ground, I can do a few other tricks, but what I’m getting at is I would love to see as you’re teaching the trick, show it in slow motion voice at like 25% frame rate. It would be so helpful because then you can actually see the sticks and the quad at the same time and see the exact inputs a lot more clearly because it just happens so fast on these. I appreciate all the effort you put into it so thank you!

    Just wanted to say that I just saw this video in Aug of 2024, It was very interesting and I have to say you made a good case for this frame, almost got me on the hook, I am almost sold the only holdout is the 250g baloney... I am a big fan of Skystars products, the cost is great and the performance seems to be perfectly good. I do like the fact that it is quieter than a 5" and that you can get around 10 min of cruising flight times and that you have crashed it hard with little to no damage. Your motors are good choices (I love the Hyperlite 2005.5 motors) and the 03 is still the best choice although Walksnail has some super cool products now. What is it about the Quadmulla frames that make them tougher? Higher grade of carbon or better epoxy, thicker arms, something else? Anyway great video, cheers!

    That's interesting ! Although i'd love to see some blackbox comparison from the motors. If they fly the same, but have different building and components quality, maybe one is noisier than the other. I'd expect that loser bearing and building tolerances making the rattle in the velox would lead to more vibrations. Have you checked the quad's vibrations with both setups ?
