    When I seem to have a problem with my quad wether it's tuning or building I always go to your vids because I know your going to explain everything so I can understand it and for an oldman getting into the hobby this really helps me a lot. Keep up the great work.

  • @alexwoods1094

    Just thought I'd say, thanks for posting all your videos and sharing so much useful information, Andy. This vid in particular has been invaluable whilst I've been doing my first DIY build.

    Thanks Andy! This video gave me the much needed jump to this awesome hobby and i love this quad that i have build with your easy instructions.

    I'm just getting into Fpv, been flying wings for a while. Everytime I watch these build videos, I imagine myself in the goggles.... Soon enough I will build a quad for myself. I am leaning towards the the X style frame. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. Have a good one! -Jamie

    Great build and great commentary. thanks
    I think the only thing about the build that I would really comment on (and I would not have 2 months ago) is these types of frames with the component arms.
    The arms will not break but everything else will. it is a pain to pull the craft apart.
    I am now going to solid 4mm base plate/arm frames like the realacc 210 v2.
    QAV-250 like the alien and martian frames, the body plates break in behind the camera when you find the elusive tree jumping out at you.
    so cheers and thanks again.

    Why is the ground wire not needed on the ESC?

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому +1

      the ESC is already connected to the ground of the pdb so its not needed

    @colelandreneau304 8 років тому

    so I did this build but used a few different parts. I am having problems with the goggles and video. I am using the same vtx and the eachine VR 007 goggles. the issue I'm having is that I only get a few feet of range on the frequencies and channels that I have tried. I am using a GoPro that normally works fine so could you maybe tell me what you think is wrong

  • @reiniercruz

    Could the 12v version of the regulator used for the flight controller, fix the video noise?

  • @ichigo3223
    @ichigo3223 8 років тому

    You mention on your video that the propellers you chose vibrate at low rpms. I did a search for alternative propellers and I keep bumping with propellers that are called "fishbone" shape. What's the difference between these are the regular looking ones.... are the better or just look fancier?

    If you run the camera off of regulated 12 volts, is there still a way to get the OSD to show battery voltage?

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому

      camera has a separate voltage wire that runs to the pdb it doesnt take the voltage form the camera

  • @kkhalifah1019
    @kkhalifah1019 8 років тому

    Hi... wouldn't you need LC filtering for the VTX & camera power supply wires?
    I also have a question: If a PDB has a 5v and a 12v outlet, will that 12v outlet work if I only use a 3S LiPo? In other words, can I still use it to power my VTX (needs 7-16v) or will it shut down unless I use a 4S LiPo?

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому

      no need to a lc filter these days. yes a 3s will work with that setup

    • @AndyRCchannel

      no it only needs the boot shorted if the boards become bricked. cheers

  • @christopherholmes9999
    @christopherholmes9999 8 років тому

    Dear Andy, Would you mind helping answering a few questions, what is the purpose of removing the small negitive wire from the ESC's, I have these ESC - (4X Racerstar MS Series 25A ESC BLHeLi_S), will they still work following your step in the video? Can the Camera an VTX run on 4S power direct or is it best to use a LC Filter? Thanks

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому

      the only purpose is to make a neater build so you can attach it to the FC if you like (i did this in my 210 build if u want to see how to do that)

    Hi, can you help me with my quadcopter.
    I'm making it on QAV 250 frame. I am using 2300kv brushless motors, 12A ESC and 5inch triple blade propellers.
    I'm using Arducopter 2.5 as flight controller and 3 cell LiPo 11.5V battery.
    For transmitter I'm using Flysky 2.4 Ghz 6 Channel transmitter.
    The problem is that I am getting enough thrust to lift the quadcopter but the problem is that it is not getting balanced in the air and it trips. While programming APM Planner says, "Compass not healthy."
    can you please help me with this problem.

There are tons of videos out there, watch his review for the wizard, there is a similar setup for PPM in there

    Hi Andy, Thanks for the video! I'm building my first quad exactly the same as this - except I changed two components.
    XSR receiver for my Taranis, and also TBS Unify Pro HV video receiver with Triumph Antenna.
    Do you think I will still need the Voltage regulator considering I have a higher quality Vtx?

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому

      its more likely that the tbs vtx has a good regulator so i would try without it first.

  • @tyrell519
    @tyrell519 8 років тому

    So you have two different regulators: one for the FC and the other one is for FPV Camera, is this correct? Can't you just use one regulator for both, since they are both connected to 12V output?

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому +1

      the regulator for the FC is 5v and does not produce enough amps to power both. the vtx and camera runs of 12v

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому +1

      theres not a lot of room on these quads to play about with the cog. i have it in the center of the FC which should be in the center of the craft but really pids will compensate for slight inaccuracy if cg, not as important as planes

      Hey, so I am new to the whole Banggood thing. Is it a trustworthy site? Are there any things bad about it?

    • @paskapes
      @paskapes 7 років тому

      Banggood sells items that they dont even have in stock and then holds up the payment as a delay cover when they wait for them to arrive. Use Aliexpress instead they have almost the same prices and independent sellers so you dont get scammed so easily.

    Hi Andy I building quad now. I bought mainly the same parts except different 25A opto esc. Do you never connect signal ground or was it just those esc?

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому

      i sometimes connect it if im being lazy. but the esc is already grounded so theres no need for it, makes for a neater build without it. my next build im connecting them just for a change

    Would you recommend this frame over the ZMR250 V2 (4mm also) ? Thanks for the detailed video.

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому

      i prefer this one as it suits the 5 inch frame and the quality was better than the zmr v1 but if you want the option of 6 inch as well as 5 then the zmr will be fine also.

    Nice vid Andy, I am about to order all these parts to help my little brother get into the hobby and I was wondering if the 4s battery is necessary, he is very paranoid that it will have a bit to much power over a 3s as it is his first Quad.
    Thanks

    Hi Andy! I have a question. I bought a Mobius 2 from spy tech when I download the videos to my computer I don't get any video just audio. And on my other computer I get like a line in the of the screen like a graph with the audio? I'm charging it right now. I using a 32gig card is that the reason or do I have to go into the settings and set it up? Thanks Andy. Rich

    So how do you do it for ppm because i thinking of getting that remote instead of the pwm that looks more complicated

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому

      just plug one wire into the ppm slot of the receiver and use the ppm setting in CF/BF

    • @pablodiablo2886
      @pablodiablo2886 8 років тому

      So i only need one cable and CF/BF is in the controller settings not another cable?

  • @scottl9144
    @scottl9144 8 років тому

    Andy. Thanks, good stuff. I've noticed most of your builds are custom rather than using (or at least starting) with the full kits (frame, motors, esc, fc, etc.). I see quite a few 250 and 450 ARF kits for prices between $70 and $100. I assume you have reason for your approach. What are those reasons. What are your thoughts on those kits. Good for a first build? Are they okay as a base and then better components? I'd be interested in your thoughts. Thanks again.

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому

      i do both kits and scratch builds however i tend to find that the kits are more restrictive for example if u dont like the camera it comes with u are stuck it but if u go custom its cheaper in the long run to get the components u know work best together. for example id be really suprised to see the fpv camera used here in a kit but its the best one to get and doesnt break the bank

    Just curious, can you use another PDB to eliminate the the noise and the use of a regulator? Or can you only use the provided PDB with the frame?

      i find the one i used here worked the best u could use another pdb yes

  • @DutchFPV
    @DutchFPV 8 років тому

    Nice build, I am building the same frame. Just one question, wouldn't it be better to rotate the flight controller so the USB port is on the side and the JST connectors are front and rear? Maybe that looks cleaner. I'm using a SP Racing F3 with Sbus, please let me know. Cheers!

    • @AndyRCchannel
      @AndyRCchannel  8 років тому

      yes it would but u can still access it through the back too
