Im a c7 quadriplegic. Being paralyzed is hard. Sometimes you just really want to be able bodied. I got into fpv because of you and Bardwell and its been an incredible addition to my mental well-being. Thanks Drew. I have a Skyliner Mk3 on the way as well as a Tanq. I dont know how to say Thanks enough.
I am so excited for this because I have always dreamed of a 3.5 inch drone with the capability of turning into a Cinewhoop and still being able to do freestyle with a hd camera! Can't wait to see more and hopefully I can save up enough to get one for myself and see how EPIC it will really be! Love your vids Drew and as a 13 year old who has been flying fav for almost 11 months now, you are a huge inspiration for me. Thanks!
Skyeliner 5 inch has been my goto frame for a while. It's not the lightest or sleekest of the dozen or so frames I've built but it is by far the most durable and fun. I'm definitely going to have to try it's little brother! Keep up the good work, Drew!
Can you duct the 5 inch?
@@cliffendsley No. At least not for now.
RR Has great frames 👌...I like the look of this little guy. ...just ordered one just now. Word to the Drib! 🥰
Skyeliner Eyeliner.
Funny to see also all the crashes too, nice video as always!
you got your play button hell yeah! that power loop at 13 minutes... so sick. but arm bracers? im for em!
I love your cinema like video style!
That battery. Ha. You are very comfortable with a low thrust to weight.
Which props are you running for the open prop configuration? I was only able to find some super low pitch 3.5 inch props for mine.
Drew, add braces! One of the things that I noticed after a crash with the skylite Or even after some heavy ripping the arms seem to shift from their original position. With 3.5 inch Propellers, if the arms shift then they start touching each other and I can hear the clicking while I’m flying.
I want one as a birthday gift for my self
Just ordered this! Can't wait to build it and fly it!
This is spam. Stop it
Awesome flying dude!
Just waiting any day now for my kit to arrive with the ducts. Updated frame DOH! I was looking for a frame to put the electronics out of a busted iflight dc3 hd in. I`m excited to have both a cinewhoop and a mini freestyle all in one with this bad boy. Great job!
Hey drew, get some 4s/650
They are full 100g lighter than your 1500mAh Monster - and they come under 20 bucks each
Oh, try out the caddx peanut instead of the DJI - thats another 25g off.
Slick little drone. I might have to build one. :)
no mention of plate thickness or overall weight here or on the website when buying. We need to know these things especially for ppl that stay sub 250. I feel this isn't really sub 250 and at that point your better off with the full size.
Oh no it’s definitely not going to be sub 250
I will get some of that information About thicknesses and weight added to the website.
For now, the main plate and the arms are 3 mm thick. The camera plates and the top plate are 2 mm thick
@@LeDribFPV Thanks Love you Drib! Just when you see these little drones being make it gets us sub250 flyers excited. Been working on designing a nice sub250 basher so been testing all sorts of builds like the apex 3 inch. thing is with replaceable arms the extra weight makes it fly worse unless you going to put bigger and more powerful components to fight the weight and at that point its so heavy that everything becomes more difficult for light weight flyers. Also the added weight makes it all break easier as well. There is a real art to find the right weight to strength in the sub250 category. Anyways that's my little 2cents! Nice to meet you though been a big fan for years ;) You and bubby got that flow!
Pretty cool man, I've been looking for something this size, but I always have the controversial cinewhoop or regular frame. Definitely cool you can do both.
Is there a European shop that sell this frame? When i order it at rotorriot shop it cost me more for shipping than the frame :-(
cool
Dribble dribble
Skyliner and Apex top frames
Great video. Super thorough demonstration of the Skylight and your freestyle flying was outstanding. I've got a couple of older 3" machines that would do well in the new frame. When is the updated one going into stock?
Great video drew, is there any plans to add removable ducts to the 5" skyliner to get a durable 5" ducted whoop and a 5" ripper combo?
Definitely would love a 3" skyliner but these ducts look like total overkill and weight. About half of the size would be fine as well I guess. "Soundesign" might as well be a topic as 3" can become quite intimitatingly loud.
Are you saying you would prefer slim ducts for it? I’ve always use the full-size ducts, but we’ve been considering making slim ducts an option
@@LeDribFPV yes, definitely slimmer and lighter ones
hi drew,great design,great video!
whats the weight of the frame?
86g according to RR store - obviously without ducts.
A lot heavier than your frame
This looks pretty awesome! I need a 3.5 to complete my collection from 63mm all the way up to 5 inch and this is looking like a great sub250 freestyle option!
What pile of boxes is my Dominator HD sitting in
I have tried a couple of frames and I have to say any of the rotoride frames are just bulletproof and fly great. In my opinion of the best value for the money easily
Thanks Scott, really appreciate that
Flies pretty good 👍
Now water proof it and design some custom floats! This would literally be my dream drone. A tiny freestyle/cinewhoop that would also be able to crash in water without any Consequences.
I know some pilots need 30x30 electronics…
So Bardwell?
This didn't age that well. But it only mean we need new Drib content! ❤
(Preferably with the much loved eyeliner 😍)
Damn I could never fly with that much money on the line like that😅
I was watching a random bouldering competition and suddenly saw your face in the crowd, pink hair was a dead giveaway. It was so jarring lol cool to see two of my interests interacting.
Haven't seen you for a while. I wss subscribed to you I am 100%sure, but youtube unsubscribed me. Can't understand this. Why youtube is decreasing the number of your subscribers???
It's a great flight, bro
I´m getting that correct - the outdoor part is with 1507, 3,5" props, 1500mAh PLUS the action cam?
-
I find it interesting, since I´m flying the out-of-the-box GEPRC Dolphin which runs 1507´s, but on 4" props and I use 850mAh.
So I guess this build has significant more fling / momentum or how ever you call it.
But Considering the 20A AIO, I think that is sort of the limit of what the Dolphin can do. I don´t think, the ESC´s would like more load.
Looks great, Im thinking of getting the frame and movin the kopis cinewhoop parts over. Any tuning tips?
Kim loves hers even though you "ruined" it @ rampage LOL
I need to build me one because I love baby skyliner/removable duct option. An ultimate work than play quad
Are you using stabilizer / gyroflow On dji action 2?
Le Drib , I’ve got a walkera f210 and an eachine eb185 , I have really been wanting to get a 5” , what did you start on and what do you recommend ??
And also I started a week ago so I don’t really know…I can’t even get out of stabilized mode yet , the turning is hard for me .
So I guess the real question is , what should I start out on man ?
Drew. Awesome frame has some versatility to it. One thing I'd like to see is a revision on the arms to support 9x9 or 12x12 motor configurations. It would open up alot of different motor options.
Put that bad boy in the hands of a rooky pilot, that would tell me how good it is. LOL don't get me wrong, drib is perfection builder. But he's also one of the best pilots in the world. Why do I want to get my hands on one of these so bad🙄 Ok, ok.. take my money again 🤣 🍺🍺 Drib!
Crazy timing. Just put this kit in my cart for preorder before I watched this. Appreciate you including your crashes, btw.
Do you think 2205.5 3600kv motors would work on this? I have a 4s protek35 begging to go on this frame instead haha
Idk what’s wrong with mine. Takes 3/4 throttle just to maintain flight on 4s
Will this frame work with the HDzero freestyle and 90 camera and Elrs
Since when did overweight 3.5" setups have such little propwash, thats crazy!
Remember, the video is edited, and it's run through Reel Steady.
Damn this was very punchy! What batteries are you running!?
I’d really love to see it with a smaller battery.
Drew, we need some quad skids for the SkyLite! The regular ones are too big and It’s annoying to constantly be worrying about messing up the motor screw heads every time you land. Otherwise, fantastic frame! I’m very happy with mine 🙌
I second that one. I’m always looking to land in the grass or somewhere not concrete. Doesn’t take long to wear down those screw heads.
@@ToddBurke42 And if you land on grass, forget about taking back off again!
@@JPTulo Grass can be be surprisingly "sticky" after going through the blades, lol. I usually just get real close and just cut the power. I went under something with tall grass one time and it took me a while to get things cleaned up not to mention the camera was completely plastered with grass "paste".
Whats the weight if that full build without props? Wow 1500mah.. thats crazy heavy.
What’s the flight time on the biggest recommended battery for cruising?
You should sell an action 2 tpu mount for this frame!
From what I understand they should have them available in the store soon. The Action 2 is the perfect cam for this little guy!
How can you charge more for the ducts than the frame itself?
Just ordered one can’t wait for first flight!
I fly with a 1500 funfly with no action cam and get like 7 to 8 min flight times. Really fun quad to fly digital on this small form factor. Flight time so long I’m in danger of getting blisters on my thumbs. :-P
One request, throw up those profiles for flying with and without the ducts in the finally released Betaflight. I’m struggling a little bit with ducts on. Might be a weight issues with throwing a hero 9. I’ve had a couple scares of flyaway but I know it’s because I rushed to Betaflight 4.3 early and didn’t know what I was doing. So easy to throw on the ducts but with the Caddx and DJI goggles I think I’m figuring out how to change the profile in goggles but I don’t feel like my ducted tune feels right. I’m sure you would want a different tune for flying ducted and no ducts right? Especially if you want to got super light on ductless and heavy on those cinematic flights with higher end camera. Actually I wanted to ask about those 2203.5 motors. If I really want to push that Hero9 with ducts, is it worth the upgrade to those motors?
3rd
Yo yo
I'm new, how does this compare to the slammed squirt? I'm really liking how this is a twofer.. looking to do indoor/outdoor cinework.
Excellent video and I have been loving the Skylite. Been running it in the 3.5" ductless configuration. Have you had any issues with the arms moving? If so, do you have a solution to make it more ridged? I have been having some issues with the rear arms rotating forward an the props coming into contact.
Keep the arms screws tight to prevent them from moving, but otherwise no just have to pull them back into place after hard crashes. I might come out with braces for open prop to help prevent this.
@@LeDribFPV I actually am running the brace. i took a carbon cutting dremel bit to remove the extra carbon. I DMed you a picture on Instagram of my current setup.
I did have my one arm move even to have the blades contacting each other.
A quick loosening, realignment and tightening and I was back up and running.
I just took my ducks off as I broke the additional support arm after a handful of whacks into a 4x4. I was trying to split 2 posts of a sign. Lol
So far this little guy is a tank and rips!
Spell correct is so fun...
*ducts not ducks...
@@skubyvision I have one arm that moves almost every landing. I ended up cutting the ends of the duct support brace and that has solved the issue. It does not look as clean as it did without the brace, but it has greatly increased the stiffness!
Wait, Vortex roller blades?! Badass! I picked up the Rampage edition in May while at Ramage and wow am I in love! That's probably one of my favorite drones right now. Super easy to fly and I think it's fun that technically if you wanted to go fly a quick hit spot, that's all you need! Very cool review, awesome drone, thanks again for signing it at Rampage, I almost didn't want to fly the dang thing after you did that so yes, you did ruin it. ;o)
😯Wow 😯
2in1, that's my style!
What motors are you using?
whene you build titanium drone chasi soo it will never brake
I’ve been looking at building this for so long, just waiting a few more weeks. I’m so happy to finally see some ripping on this frame :) can’t wait to feel the tiny POWER!
Or, just go buy the Emax Babyhawk 2...in HD or analog. Way, WAY cheaper and also works awesome as a long range drone with a big 18650 pack. Go watch Nurk's video on it. He got a 22 minute flight. But, also RIPPED it with an 850mah 4S. Best of both worlds and Pro Tuned! :)
I put up a video 2 days ago with the SkyLite. I'm still a FPV noob, but you'll be able to gauge it's power from some of my loops.
How does it rate as a first drone?
🥰🤩💥💯👍👏
Been looking to get into a cinewhoop quad set up and I believe I’ve found it!
:)
I'd look at the GepRC Cinelog 25, 30, or 35. Generally considered the best out there. Way, WAY cheaper and watch the reviews - Everyone loves the way they rRIP and fly with an HD camera. Best of both worlds and no need to remove the ducts because they are guards, not these silly ducts that really don't do anything more than guards do. The ducts on this are from 2018 or 19. Not what the industry uses anymore. I've heard several others say the same thing. If you research it, you'll like what you see.
Just got my DIY kit in this week and was looking everything over, the one thing I was a bit disappointed in is no skidz or something to help protect the motor screw heads from getting messed up when landing.
I found these that will fit, I ordered them for mine.
I’ve had my eyes on the frame for a while now, since the build vid. You’re really pulling my arm now Drew 🤣 cheers brother
In these times of global crisis, persevere couldn't be more suited as an outro. Take care Drew, and keep this coming, love it :-)
I just got one of those. I really like it, but when I put the 3.5 in props on it, the props hit each other a bit.
add motor mount slots to the ends of the arms to accept a wider range of mount sizes...
mad skills
great rip nice obstacle course smooth flight
We're you using rock steady on the open prop setup?
Avatar version when? :p
Been out!
Savage flow yet again! Nice work.
10:43 was the shot of the day!! Great work.
No middle standoffs tho. Oof
wow
Flying the 5” version (no middle standoffs) for 2 yeas never an issue
You already made a video about this quad. You did a build video about it if I'm not mistaken
In the RR channel yes, but hadn’t made a vlog here yet
Nice 👍
From a professional licensed drone pilot, have to say, I absolutely love my SkyLite!
I printed the ducts and spent the first 3 days training with them on, until I crashed into a 4x4 and broke the additional duct support arm you install with the ducts. I do have to say I crashed into that 4x4 over and over as they were supports for a sign about 20" apart from each other.
Yesterday was my first day flying with the GemFan Hurricane 3.5" props on and it was a beast. I've been flying with the Tattu 850Mah 75C and the Rotor Riot 1500Mah 100C (crazy fast with these). Just posted a video last night of it here, "Day 4 of FPV Training".
Can't say enough about this little screamer. Thank you Drew, built a little tank here!
Love your work, Rotor Riot team is pure inspiration!
Dude.... knock that block off your shoulder..... your no professional my god man!!! Who told you your a pro...
@@NOWWATTFPV Maybe, just maybe, he flies drones for a living? You know, cinema, surveying, whatever - "professional" means "it's my job". Doesn't mean someone has to be the most epic freestyle ripper to be a professional drone pilot - I'd argue most actually aren't.
@@NOWWATTFPV Lol, just seeing this now.
I've been flying drones professionally for 7 years for commercials and cinema. This was all done with Inspires, Phantoms and Mavics. That is what I meant.
And going back and reading the comment I left, I do agree I sounded like a tool and it will remain unedited. Hahahaaa
@@kain0m thank you brother!! 3 months later I'm slowly getting there on the FVP ripping, hahahaaa.
Nice design!
Vortex lost most his cool points rollerblading. Lol. He does it well its just not cool. Lol. They have professional rollerbaders and there's a reason you never hear about them. Lol
Only pro pilots or guys with lots of dough fly places with all of this concrete. I simply can't afford it or do I want to go through all of the repairs and parts needed to fly these type of places. I fly parks with grass and trees. More fun IMO, because not so much risk of breaking stuff. And, they are nature made, not man made slabs of concrete! Course, these reviewers get most of their parts for free or really cheap.
Nice product. Ducts seem like they're from 2018 - 19, but the quad seems solid. I do fly 3.5" with an 850mah 4S, and not a super heavy 1500. You can tell a guy who's addicted to 5" drones because even though he can afford to fly places he knows he will continually have to replace a lot of parts at, he doesn't own a single 850mah 4S lipo, that is the perfect size for THE DRONE HE DESIGNED AND SELLS! LOL...kinda ridiculous. 5" are so drastically overrated! Loud and big and you need huge space, and the KARENS will be a complainin'! That's pretty much a given.
I suggest people buy a quad for the places they want to fly. Scout the parks and areas that are close to your house or work. Then buy the size of quad suitable to these favorite spots near you. Not just because a ton of reviewers fly 5". ;)
After 6 months I hope your life is doing better.
I accidentally disliked this video, I changed it tho. Sry
🥔🥔🥔🥔
I can not get my skylite 3.5 to arm Iv had it 3 days now and have yet to I have reached out on every platform please contact me back
Hey Matt....did you ever get it to arm? I just got my Skylite and I can't even get it to bind to my radio. 😭
