DON"T Forget I have a box here of spares for another build. If you need it just watch the whole video and leave a comment about it. I'll randomly pick one of you guys to send it to. also even if its not the box of parts you win here are some bonus sim codes to redeem on steam too. 960P6-DKVE5-X4XLV JG779-PKXQD-470Q4 ZG2YL-ZX2AK-E5HHI NF4L9-BRQQM-E7VVB FG3BP-59TXP-QZWAQ 8TDEW-CZ5JE-7WCPI 90CNV-IJTY5-3J8TG P73Y0-CTJKX-LMRRM
I have to agree unfortunately, the soldering work in this particular vid does not look good at all. The solder looks like blobs dropped on the pads, no flow, the soldering iron is not hot enough and that leads to dry joints, ie: high potential for arcing at those contact points with poor conductivity, weak joints that'll rip off easily with a crash. Sorry to be so critical but that's really bad soldering work.
Yup. Soldering is really bad. A bit or flux, heat the pad, and it would reflow nicely. He could even turn it into a whole video how to fix your little f'ups.
was thinking it couldnt be that bad but the further i got into the video the worse it got, especially the motor wires they are wayy to loose nobody would buy that if you sold it for free
Currently getting into this hobby for the DIY side of it. I build guitar amps, but I can't fly those. I've got a controller and 10 hours in the sim. Videos like this are helpful to figure out what I actually want. My head is spinning looking for the right systems to start with.
This is what makes the fpv hobby one of the best communities ever...(there are some goobers like everything) but helping eachother amd sharing info and build specs and parts making sure to share the joy... so glad i found this hobby. Love your content and you seem like one of those super chill people i wish you were in florida
I fly 3.5" most, and my last 5" was a disaster. I would love to get back inte the 5" drones! The old build tutorials was my main insperation for building fpv quads.
I’ve just completed my build of volodor 3.5, now planning for 5 inch 😂. This man’s videos is where I learnt to make my drone and my hobby began with his videos. Big up bro. Sending love from India.
Wow Stu! I didn't realize just how much I missed your content when you were not making it. Soooo glad your back at it, and looking smarter than ever! God bless my man!!
Oh yes who wouldn’t want some uber smooth walksnail digital on a killer of a freestyle drone! I’ve been loving the radio master pocket since you recommended it, thanks for the good call!
I've always appreciated your $99 builds for their value, but it's great to see you step it up and take into account the value of user experience. I'd be extremely lucky to have one of these for my first build!
I'm so glad to see you still sticking in there and your budget drone builds are by far my favorite on youtube and been the most helpful to me so thanks dude.
Awesome video! Sure made me want to build my own Vollador II!!! I guess I just had to put on a like for that wonderfull top-of-the-head footage!!!! ;P Cheers!
Never built a drone before Stu and you have presented this in a way that as a newbie I could follow and I am starting to make sense of all the bits and bobs. Lucky me, as a newcomer it seems more streamlined and less complex than a few years ago.
Awsome video, it's great having Aussie made videos and seeing relevant content I've been watching your Channel for years now and as of last week I finally flew for the first time
awesome build! I haven't flown for over 6 years but have decided to get back into the hobby, UAVfutures was the first channel I came back to and it's good to see you haven't changed at all! Would love some parts if chosen! if not I am still going to build one in the very near future!! Thanks for catching me up on all that's changed :)
The audio sounds very good. No garage reverb Great build. I would give it a go if I already didn't have too many fpv ships. I usually quickly redo my solder joints by touching with the iron over the joint with some extra flux paste. This ensures that I don't get any cold joints.
Your channel has convinced me to follow an old dream and get into fpv, just bought the walksnail L and a pocket, super excited to start planning out my drone! (and hopefully I win!)
Hey you pretty much got me into this hobby years ago. Although I haven't built a drone in about 5 years, my son is old enough to start getting into it. I am getting him a Tamiya car kit in a few weeks for his birthday and intend to fit fpv to it later this year. Next year I want him to build his first fpv drone. I want to get back into it with him, if you still have any parts they'd be super helpful for our hobby. Otherwise no worries, still love your vids
I enjoyed watching this. I have flown helicopters and some cheap quadcopter but never tried FPV. I'm a little nervous trying to build these but I'm motivated to try after this video. I challenge you to get your daughter to build one and video it. Then I'll feel ready.
I've always wanted to get into flying drones....building one seems like a lot of fun. I definitely gotta check out the budget builds(so I can learn to fly) then build this one. Thanks for the inspiration and great video.
I have a Radiomaster Pocket turning up tomorrow based on your review and recommendation and have recently purchased a flight sim. Got a lot to learn going forward but have watched heaps of your vids and will be building a quad copter down the track. Thanks for all you do and best for the future.
Another banger video, just getting started in FPV now. It's been fantastic and frustrating, amazing to learn new tricks and just fly around, frustrating as heck to fail so many times trying new tricks. I watch many creators and gotten so much info but I really just enjoy your vids....I just want to go out and have fun flying, that is what I get from your content. Thank you

might wanna take best out there's been a big thing in the hobby bout everything being the best. love the vids keep it up @UAVfutures
Bbbbaaammm Baaaam, i might Build my first own Build. 😅😅😅 @UAVfutures
FYI you might want to give the codes out another way. There are bots that scour platforms for codes and redeems them. Here’s to hoping for some parts!
Haha comment nah love ya work need the parts
comment DROPPED - nah love ya work I’m in the NT previously QLD haha I need the parts it’s rough up here
solder job looks pretty cold tbh
bruh, rlly cmn man nothing more positive? lmfao

This guy is the most truly generous man I have ever seen and most passionate about drones.
Keep it up mate!

That freestyle build is insane.
Your old videos with the Eachine Wizard are what brought me into this hobby, I never got around to building that $99 beauty, but I kept watching!
Nice one stu, legend of the fpv community!

The reason I startede building and flying drones was UAVfutures $99 drone build video. Thank you Stew! You are the best!
Still rocking your original $99 build from years ago 👍
which one???
i also want to build one can you mention name of video
@@smartos1212 it cant be done for $99 anymore mate. but just search $99 fpv build
Just started my fpv journey. By the time I can build something like this this video will be ancient😂
YES! Finally a new build video! Awesome!
This looks like a great build for a beginner!
Love these videos! You really make building drones seem less intimidating. Thanks!
Nice frame. Looks good
Love the tricks with the blu-tack, and with the power cap through the via holes. Very neat. "You're going to learn something today!" 😀
You taught me how to solder many years ago !
FPV is magic!
this build plus dji 03 equals LOVE
The QuadFather has come a long way from the days of the "Three Stuges", keep up the good work, always great stuff.
Damn it Stew! You are making it hard to resist getting into FPV 😬😬😬 This is a cool looking build.
Well, I definitely learned something today :) Thank you Stu for making FPV more accessible to the newcomers!
Came back to this channel after a long time.
Good to see you man.
I've always appreciated your $99 builds for their value, but it's great to see you step it up and take into account the value of user experience. I'd be extremely lucky to have one of these for my first build!
Nice job Stu. Glad to see you still in the game, mate. Thanks for keeping me inspired with flying FPV.
seems like a fantastic drone!
Dude, your blowing it up! Been addicted to your vids! Thanks so much for the insight and the education! Free Style for the WIN!!
Super clean build
I'm so glad to see you still sticking in there and your budget drone builds are by far my favorite on youtube and been the most helpful to me so thanks dude.
Flying 5in freestyle is awesome. It's the best hobby.
It's good to have an Aussie doing this. I'm just building a Speedybee master v5. Watching your vids are really helping. Thanks lot.
Love me some walksnail footage
Thanks for the video. Very informative.
Great practical wisdom on reducing headaches while assembling.
Keep the good work up Stew!
It's incredible dude!
Another splendid job Stu keep up the great content
ooh, I like free stuff.
Stew, you continue to hit it out of the park by inspiring everyone to dive in and enjoy this great hobby! Great vid.
Another awesome video, glad your back, been here since 2018
Just what I need
Im so glad you are back to making content and I love building drones just about as much as flying them
I have been flying this drone on the flight sim. It's a blast.
Still killin' it as always. Speaking of dinosaur days. That's when I first started watching you. 😂
Those Mamba stacks are great - only stacks I've ever used, and never had a problem
Awesome video! Sure made me want to build my own Vollador II!!! I guess I just had to put on a like for that wonderfull top-of-the-head footage!!!! ;P Cheers!
Awesome build Stu 🚀🔥
You make this look so easy. That was awesome. Im going to go ahead and try to build one. You only live once. 😊
Nice build brother. Ripper!
Never built a drone before Stu and you have presented this in a way that as a newbie I could follow and I am starting to make sense of all the bits and bobs. Lucky me, as a newcomer it seems more streamlined and less complex than a few years ago.
That pink radiomaster got me wanting to do some crazy design on mine! 😅
I will built it for sure. Thanks for the video
Great video. Flux great too
Your vibe the past few months is amazing ❤
Fantastic build, i have watched loads of builds, but this one is for me the best. Nice details, you talk very clear and with a good pace. Keep it up.
Been watching your videos for a while now and think I will finally pull the trigger to get into the hobby. Really appreciate the doc you created!
i would love this!!
I'd love to build this! The motors look really sharp!!
Awsome video, it's great having Aussie made videos and seeing relevant content
I've been watching your Channel for years now and as of last week I finally flew for the first time

Nice work on the drone 😁👌 very cool & the motors look really good also 👍
started with your turnigy evo and wizard x220 recommendations years ago great to see you releasing regularb videos again
That’s a real cool drone you got there. Damn I wanna get into fpv.

Love to start up again, busy for now but your channel is the go to spot for when I get back into flying (drones). Until then, stay free!
hahaha. awesome warning. the NOT $99 build. hahaha. i think its time for me to upgrade. awesome vid stu
Hi! thanks for the build i realy liked it!
Yes ! Looks fantastic!!!
I have a Radiomaster Pocket turning up tomorrow based on your review and recommendation and have recently purchased a flight sim. Got a lot to learn going forward but have watched heaps of your vids and will be building a quad copter down the track. Thanks for all you do and best for the future.

Just going to give the 3.5" flyfish volador a go..Might have a look at the 5" too..Great video! Showing building is fun is awesome.
