    I have the phantom and I agree 100% with you that it needs to have a little more material right at the screw hole. I have broken 2 frames both of them being right at the motor holes on the front arms. I'm on my 3rd frame and decided to take some of the clear heat shrink (plastic kind and not the rubbery kind) and I covered from the motor end to about half way on the front 2 arms. I then added the foam pads to the bottom sticking it to the plastic heat shrink to make it stick a lot better. I don't know if this is any better but its working for me so far my frame has taking some hits and I was for sure it was broken but all is well still. Great videos btw and Happy New Years!!

    If you want to run 2-inch props, mount the motors on the bottom and run it as a pusher. Yep, this does work. Yes, you do need to make some landing gear, but that is easier than one might think. I have used standoff columns in the past which do work and better than one might think. That said, I am working on some that are simple, light, easy to make, and easy use.

    • @NickBurnsFPV
      @NickBurnsFPV  Рік тому

      I am afraid in my experience the flight characteristics are not equal. Pushers work fine in slower flight less agile flight. They also put the props/motor/ESC at risk, maybe a landing platform would help but then we are adding weight and again the flight performance is impacted.

      tmotor has some 1103 that might be more durable. More weight more durable but does change the flight performance some. Also betafpv has/had an 1103 11000kv, I am not certain all the 1103 motors will not kill a 5amp esc. We would need to check motor amp pull specs.

    I agree with your assessment of the C rating not meaning anything on maybe a 1S lipo, but it definitely makes a difference when you move up to a 2 cell or higher. When I started flying 5" quads, I bought several 1300mah 45C 4S lipo's, and later moved to a 1300mah 120C lipo, and man the difference in raw power is night and day. It basically compares to a N/A engine, vs one with a Turbo. As for the HV Lipo's, I see them as nothing more than a gimmick. The .15v extra it claims to give you is negligible.

    • @NickBurnsFPV
      @NickBurnsFPV  2 роки тому

      My experience with batteries and c rating up to 4s is its all marketing. I have hac 120 c rated batteries not perform as well as 45c rated. It works for identification. Often the difference is just the quality of the battery, not the printed c rating.

    if you have a 0°/90° CFK plate and you cut an arm at a 45° ... its very very weak... i designed and cut frames for my self a very long time... and one time i didn't pay attention how the CFK plate was oriented ... well long story short ... broke an arm in the first 2 crashes xd

    I went ahead and picked up the frame since it is cheap. Maybe with some lighter components and some lighter motors it will fly a bit better... Got one of those jhemcu 16x16 aio that just might be calling out for this. We shall see. I feel the baby nazgul frame seems more durable, then again that's 1s so lighter by default

      I don't think their official part name is ph2.0, that is what we have been calling them, and they are listed on webshops with that name. They are very likely something like jst-x2.0

      Its hard for me to make an accurate comparison as I haven't flown the th 2 freestyle recently. My best estimation is they are fairly close, I would expect the agility would be more responsive on the smart 16, but the punchouts bigger on the TH.

    Hi Nick, coming back on this one... I am considering running 1102 13500kv or maybe even those rcinpower 1002 14000kv on this frame, but do you think the added weight would be bad? I was planning on using the jhemcu 16x16 aio which should save a good chunk of weight in that regard. I think those 0803 weigh almost as much as the 1002. I do wish they had 0803 with 1.5mm shafts.. Cheers!

      We do have 0802 with 1.5mm shaft from happy model. Their newer grey motors. If you go 1102 I suspect we will want to stay on the lighter side of those motors. I worry the arms won’t hold up if we add to many grams out there

      possible sure. I couldn't say what the flight time would be. It certainly would change how it flies. Keep in mind, more battery doesn't always equal and equal amount for more flight time. We have to carry the additional weight, and the additional weight and change how good the pid tune is and how the quad will fly.

      Once you've gone to digital, the image quality we must endure to get this size is not tolerable anymore. The Runcam Nano 3 has such great image quality outdoors and inside, is ultra light, why is it not used? Not made anymore? I see quads still coming out using the long ago discontinued EOS2. They can't find anything better than this Ant?! Cuz, forgetting about digital for the moment, I'd never buy any quad with image quality this terrible outdoors. We've certainly gone backwards several steps!
