When your hobby is your passion, you can talk about it all day. All the learning was never 'work' and was absorbed considerably easier than algebra I'm sure. Get me on topics like FPV, Electronics or guitar and you'll be looking for the door lol.
You have been contributing to the community for so long now !! Thank you for your hard work and thank you for passing on all that knowledge. Cheers Steele
got into fpv about 30 days ago. watched 100s of videos and learned a lot. Somehow you havent popped into my feed yet I have heard your name a dozen times. This was my first video and feel like I messed up by not watching your video's sooner. Great video !! Ill definitely will be watching more.
It’s really awesome of you to make this video series. I’m a relatively experienced pilot and builder, having been into FPV for almost 4 years now. Like yourself. But I still enjoy watching the videos, and it’s really cool to see that you are willing to share all of your knowledge. You are helping to bring new pilots into our hobby, and that is priceless. The more the merrier.
For new flier that wants to "future proof" (and have the "hot setup like Steele") of 6S, they can build/buy a 6S and limit the throttle to 70%. The bonus (besides being able to "turn it up" when ready) is about 25-30% more flight time. That's a very nice thing all by itself, and you will get longer battery life because you are babying them flying like that. Good video!
I want to try that. Whats a good 6s grade motor for freestyle? I fly a 5", with 4s, HT Cricket 2450s + 5×4×3s. Looking for smooth maneuvering with good punchout for flicks.
@@jewishjitsu The Xing 2208 1700kv on the Mamba Stack is my go to setup turning 6" (or larger) props on a Iflight long arm frame with DJI video (it's worth the weight and money IMO). If you're new to the game, or just enjoy proximity and flying thru the air like me, consider the 6" setup. With good batteries (RDQ 6S1250) you'll get super smooth flight and long flights as well as a rugged package that you can fly more than fix. On 4S you'll lose quite a lot of flight time, but it'll still fly fine although not so "punchy" on the hit. 6" on 6S is my favorite and it'll still do the flippity flip thing, but a tad slower (and easier to master), but is much more enjoyable if you just enjoy flying and aren't making videos for the youtube gang. If you're looking for 5" extra light, extra full speed stuff - The Xing 2207 1800 (you can get them in 1700kv or 1800kv) would probably be better for a strictly 5" setup like yours. A Mamba stack on Betaflight defaults ought to fly great if you limit the throttle to 50 to 75%. Make sure you don't just chop the top off, you need to reset the span so you get full range throttle control. Looks at Oscars rundown on setups like this (oscarliang.com/best-motors-props/). The 2207 is a great motor, I'm using them on 6" machines on 6S, and they work hard, but pull plenty hard, and still live. For strictly 6" I run the wider 2208. Smooth thru the middle with a top on that comes on plenty hard, but not so abrupt it's just a moonshot. You can play with betaflight and smooth things out a bit if you want to go more cinematic. I'd bet if you use the 2207 1800kv in your setup with throttle set to top out from 50 to 75% (depending on how new you are and how smooth you'd like it) You'll find it flies great on defaults. Hope that helps. Try the 6" 2208 setup if you have the budget, you won't be sorry. It's a bit bigger and still rips, but slows down nicely, which is fun, especially if you have High def video. If you need to know more hit me back again. Happy flying!
@@scottmarshall6766 Thank you for the detailed response. Ill look into buying a Armattan 6" tonight. Thanks! Sidebar, a 2208 would be taller than a 2207, not wider, wouldn't that only help with high end?
1st thing: I love that you know your shit and explain it in an easy way ..2nd: There are no cuts in this video. That's rare today. Another guy mentioned it below and I wanna emphasize this: This is so so good, compared to cuts every 5-10 seconds.. Keep it up my man. I'm just starting my fpv journey .. Love your content!
Your depth of knoweledge is very apparent in your videos. Thank you for sharing your advice with us. There's something about your demeanor that tells me you would rather be flying and this makes you more convincing.
Excellent info. Only 2 people i trust for battery info & thats you & joshua bardwell. Not even manufacturer. Thumbs up, dromie! I feel good ive gotten 2 years out of most of my batteries
Yeah!!!! I love the duck on your side :D Duck power! Coincoin! Thanks Steele for all those info. One additionnal thing is: they don"t like cold, and reach the down limit very fast when you pull on them.
S means cells in a series configuration (most common) - used to increase overall pack voltage. P means cells in a parallel configuration (less common) - used to increase overall pack capacity.
I'm still happy on 4S lipos, and you are the first pilot to confirm my handling with them, not over-discharging and taking care of the babes made them live long and healthy! 😂😅 No, I don't give them names!
Being totally new to fpv I was super happy to find this video! It really helped me to learn the basics especially battery storage and I even ordered a lipo bag for added safety. Thanks for the great video!
I second that... Fly until cruise or hovering touches a steady voltage of 14.0 - 14.2v, once unplugged the battery will rest at 14.8 - 15.0v. My batteries have a longevity and never puff even though I fly em' hard. Happy flying to all.... 😎
Superb video, really informative and well put together. You’re knocking it out the park with this ethix stuff my dude! I have to say loving the S3’s man, there so responsive and have proven to be really durable. I didn’t expect any prop to drag me away from my long standing cyclone addiction!
This is great! You summed up everything I needed to know in one video. -1 topic. Charging amperage for 4s, 6s, 1300mah, 1500 mah, 70C vs 100C batteries. Never mind. You did! Watching that 1 next.
You've nailed it man... I fully agree landing at nominal voltage (14.8V) although it's quite hard to comprehend for a beginner. Well, at least it was for me :D I tend to keep flying until it show 14.3-14.4 on the OSD while slow cruising that's roughly 14.8 after landing. Your video is super helpful, I've learned it the hard way though :(
I have something to say about the Rotor Riot Practice Battery. It great! It's the first battery I bought for my hawk 5 and it's still like new in the way it performs. Sure it's a heavy 1500mah tank, but the cells are especially good. No joke. I'm not affiliated with RR in any monetary way. It's that good. I've ran it down to 11v multiple times. No puffing or loss of capacity. Slight volt sag is all I saw. Battery stays cool no matter what and it's the only battery that I never had to repair the balance leads on.
When to read this voltage numbers ? 1in flight ? 2 if landed and motors are spinning air mode ? 3 when dissarmed ? I believe 3, so inflight u can go a bit lower in volt
Great vid Steele! I'm a destroyer of 1S batts in brushless whoops. Charging the 1S batteries at high currents just as to not run out of charged batteries for the next race. Batteries are almost hot after a race in my son's Blade BL. My HVs, 4.35V, last less time than another BL running 4.2V 1S batts. Keeping up with charged batts per race, with three chargers, my Bets 75 Pro and my son's BL, making it through a two minute race, just seems to be a recipe for battery death. My 4S Ghost though gets great battery life. I think for the reasons you mention. More voltage overhead. Luckily 1S whoop batteries are cheaper, yet I purchase quite a few at a time. Aw, the early days of Inductrix flying! Little kwads, cheap easy batteries, long fun flight times..... Peace...Guy
Great video man very good information. A lot of people don’t care of their packs. I learned a lot about what it means to care for lipo packs when I started buying 12s 5000mah for my helicopters 300 bucks a battery hurts when they go bad early because you didn’t take care of em.
Thanks... you've confirmed I'm doing the right thing. I stop at 3.5 in flight which is 3.7 resting. Not because I can't get more but because the thing flys terrible.
Since videos 3-5 got through whoops, as a beginner I'm not flying a 5" yet, I was expecting this video to talk about basic lipos, chargers, how they work, safety, fire risk, fancy bags, and maybe even something about 1s batteries, since that's what came with the whoop you recommended. I'm going to have to come back and watch this one later. Edit: lol, all that stuff is in the next video, part 7.
I was able to revive a pretty new LiPo that was connected to a flyaway that was found some days later. That battery was flat. I charged it on a NiCd setting at 100mA until the cell voltage was high enough that lipo mode would accept the battery.
Its funny to hear your opinion on this. Ive started trying to be landing my kwads at 3.7-3.6 per cell if possible. The only time I go lower then that is if Im trying to get back to myself from a long-rangish flight. Ive had friends tell me its fin to go down to 3.5-3.4 per cell but I like to be on the safer side and thats probably why I get about a years worth of life from my batteries vs their 2-4 months of life.
Hey, I've been doing it right since I started fpv😁. I heard only go to 80% of mAh when I bought my first batteries, forget who/where. I also charge to storage voltage after using them, don't know if I should or not. Maybe Mr. Steele covers this in the video. Thank Steele for the info, I will now finish watching.😎
Can you PLEASE do a follow-up discussing the amps at which you charge/discharge based on mah of batteries? And using a parallel board with do's and don'ts. THANK YOU.
Hellzz yeahh I feel good everything you talked about I've been doing for the past 3 year's and yes my batteries last a very long time Thanx for the video.
As a beginner batteries are the most stressful and deterring part of getting into fpv for me. I understand the basics of it though. But I have a lot of hobbies and I don't need to have a hobby that needs to be checked in on every couple days for potentially and hour or more of my time
Nice video, ths! Please, make video with storage lipo batteries. Bags, bunkers or something else. Safe charging, discharging. Im new in this hobby and i afraid of fire from lipos
Take about 80% off (1000mah battery you can drain 800mah) Better to under discharge than over discharge. don't leave batteries fully charged/ empty for more than 2 days. Goggle/ radio batteries don't need to be put at storage unless being left for a week or so. Date batteries so you can tell how much abuse they have endured. Nomral per cell = 3.50V - 4.20V Storage Voltage per cell = 3.70V - 3.90V 2S = 7.40V - 8.40V 4S = 14.80V - 16.80V 6S = 22.20V - 25.20V just a summary of the video for anyone that wants it :)
this man freestyled everything, not one single cut, respect
clearly a sign he knows his shit. Like seriously knows it. Eat breathe sleep walk FPV
perhaps he was recording on a drone and battery life was limiting length of the video :P
Have you asked him out yet? That mustache is calling ya buddy

Congratulations!!! Sorry I'm a little late but I just realized you passed 200,000 subs. Probably the only drone guy I follow with that many subs.
I'm just moving from off the shelf "toy" quads to starting my own build(s). These videos are super-helpful. Thank you.
Just finished my first build yesterday and wanted to charge my first lipo at the weekend. Perfect timing for this video 🙌
Yeah!!!! I love the duck on your side :D
Duck power! Coincoin!
Thanks Steele for all those info. One additionnal thing is: they don"t like cold, and reach the down limit very fast when you pull on them.
Who doesn't have a duck? I do! Hahahaha
I'm a noob in the fpv community. What's up with the duck??
@@opossumfpvSame meaning as an upside down pineapple.
S means cells in a series configuration (most common) - used to increase overall pack voltage.
P means cells in a parallel configuration (less common) - used to increase overall pack capacity.
Series is used to control voltage delivery. It's easier to lower voltage than to rise it.
Parallel is for delivering large currents.
Mário Rui Santos and capacity is exactly the same, 4 1000mAh cells have the same capacity either in series or parallel.
@@dmalovic but it draws more amps because of less available volts, yes?
I'm still happy on 4S lipos, and you are the first pilot to confirm my handling with them, not over-discharging and taking care of the babes made them live long and healthy!

3.7 after flight, in flight i drain my lipos down to 3.1/3.2 v per cell.
What should be right?
i use them for over 3 years now and I had no Problem whith this, the capacity is only slightly reduced becourse they are old. (

thank you very much for the educational videos
Great video 👊🏼🛸
Nice Broa
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for this insight on battery use!
Take about 80% off (1000mah battery you can drain 800mah)
Better to under discharge than over discharge.
don't leave batteries fully charged/ empty for more than 2 days.
Goggle/ radio batteries don't need to be put at storage unless being left for a week or so.
Date batteries so you can tell how much abuse they have endured.
Nomral per cell = 3.50V - 4.20V
Storage Voltage per cell = 3.70V - 3.90V
2S = 7.40V - 8.40V
4S = 14.80V - 16.80V
6S = 22.20V - 25.20V
just a summary of the video for anyone that wants it :)
Thanks big dawg.
