Nice video. These little guys are among my favorites. I will actually use more with OSD, helps me get the tune done faster. Without osd I just fly the pack or packs, then make small changes. Takes me many flight sessions before I get a tune I am happy with. OSD also helps me discern if one battery is better than another. Waiting for a custom frame to do another 130 with the FuriousFPV piggy OSD.
no id have to switch the escs, but this is my worry, the motors state they can take 4S but with these props they are already performing like a 4s, so my worry is that a 4s on this frame will burn the motors up, which is why i kept it 3s. the numbers dont quite add up to justify a 4s
Great video. Thank you. I have purchased the kit and followed the instructions to build and set up the quad. I'm up to the betaflight configurator on the receiver page. I've turned on my Taranis and plugged the battery into the quad, and I do not see R,P,Y or T responding to my controller inputs. The receiver should be bound to the Taranis because when I unplug the quad my Taranis reports that the signal is lost, and I did hear at 18:14 in the video that I need to plug the cable into the left side port for SBUS. Any ideas where to look to solve this issue?
I do have one final problem... I've calibrated the ECSs on the motor page, and all motors work fine except for one that does not go full speed and rotates back and forth rather than in one direction. Could this be a signal problem or ESC problem?
Hi Andy! Great vid!! You've inspired me! I'm going to build one exactly like it per your parts list and this vid, I can't wait, it's inexpensive enough and I've been wanting to do a ground up build for a while I've done my share of "rebuilds" lol!! Also I'd love to hear the mod for the cameras, I've got the 808 exact one you have on the way and would love to do the 60 fps mod! Thanks again for the vid!!
Hey Andy! Look me up on Google plus for my email, I guess it won't let you put one in here I tried and it wouldn't post?? But I made my email and Phone number available to you so you can email me with the works of how to do the 808 camera mod 1080p at 60 fps!! I must have this! Please clue me in! Thanks!-Turbo Reviews.
great vids Andy thanks for sharing 😀 question... do you ever consider the thread direction on the motors on your builds? every one says you can change the motor direction in the software but does this not mean your props may undo the nuts if you have the thread direction all messed up??🤔
its quite nicely done buy the looks of it www.banggood.com/Eachine-V-tail-210-FPV-Drone-1080P-HD-DVR-SP-Racing-F3-5_8G-40CH-200mW-VTX-OSD-w-Eachine-I6-RTF-p-1100100.html
yeah bud its a wet dream almost in my eyes compared to whats out there atm but u never know :) very nice spec just what I want for a micro really but hay ho :)
every time i get close to choosing a micro to learn acro fpv, another great quad appears, great review. i was wondering if using the 12v bec on a 3s system might be causing some rf noise?.. i use this pdb on a 4s quad feeding my vtx 12v and my vtx feeds my cheapo fake ccd camera 5v... crystal clear, now if only i could actually fly fpv.
Great build and video. Is there a particular PDB you would choose for this build with a better regulator and maybe a layout that suits the frame really well? I guess you don't get the full 12V with a 3s.
Andy, which do you prefer to fly, this quad or the Tarot 130 you reviewed earlier. I am curious as I would like to buy a 130 sized quad and not sure which I prefer. The GB130 looks better for modifications but I am not sure if it performs as well as the Tarot 130. Any advice welcome.
Hi, thanks for the video! I'm thinking of building this but I have some questions: 1) does it fly ok with 2 cells if I want a bit less power? 2) is it relatively quiet compared to other drones this size? 3) about how much run time per charge on the recommended batteries? thanks and sorry if the questions were answered in the video. thanks again and please keep up the good work! regards.
Is it really necessary to set up the failsafe 3 times? You did it on your radio, then you gave the information via the connection to your receiver and finally you set it up in betaflight. Wouldn't it be enough to just activate the drop-option in betaflight? Thanks for your great videos - you just got a new subscriber
I usually buy the matek type that has the ESC power pads grouped properly (a positive and ground in each corner, kinda), so hopefully this will be okay. I'd ordered the components to do a build on this frame just before you published this video - looking forward to putting it together.
Excellent video Andy, might well get this as separate components and use a Runcam Eagle because it's so nice with my Dom 3s. But don't you think there's an issue with those cheap JST connectors, with a 4 cell the motors can pull over 40 amps, less with 3 cell, but still?
Hi andy, why you did a flashing on the receiver into the remote? Create lua script? Etc... I dont get this at all. If im using XM + receiver, do I have to do as the same?
hi Andy. another great video. I was about to buy the bits from your cheap Martian build and now you show me this! Which one would you recommend for 1st build looking to learn freestyle and a bit of racing?
Really want to pick up this quad! looks like a lot of fun for the money, but it looks like one hard hit to that pod will smash the standoffs, pull on the wires and damage the FC and PDB... Any thoughts on this? how does this frame handle crashes? I am wanting to use this quad a parking lot flyer during winter so lots of proximity stuff.
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. Regards Anuj
Grrrr, I would but I don't have a computer to program the FC and I don't have goggles yet. Can't wait to get my inductrix fpv RTF, it's perfect for what I need, and them I can possibly progress to something like this. Not going for the 200qx and va1100 anymore, doesn't seem worth it. Great informative video!
Andy - I'm considering a 130 size due to a change in the law that restricts the use of quads over 250g. Would you still recommend a scratch build with the decreasing prices/availability of models such as the Tarot 130 or the Eachine Racer 130? A 130 build with 1306 motors and LB20s (or similar) will easily top $200 and the aforementioned models are selling for around $165. Thanks!
I want a micro for when i go to the park with my daughter. Is this overkill and worth the build or buy Tarot 130 ? I did buy a qx70 and put the parts into a lantian frame with higher rpm motors as it was crap, but its no good for windy days. Fun on a still day though. Dont realy need a super racer for this purpose as i have a 220 and 250 already but they are overkill for a local park. Thanks in advance
Hey Andy, Looking to build my own quad based off this 130 frame. Do you know what size Runcam it can run? I was looking at the runcam owl plus but Im not sure it can fit.
this is the problem with this hobby. always an upgraded model round the corner. but its the same with most tech these days. hope u found something u enjoy flying cheers
started with the exact same build as your first450 cheap quad 2 week after you released the video now i have 3 racer, 2 x 450 on apm and just buy a qx95 because of you :), i'm planning on a fllying wing with gps next ... have you ever tryed these? very nice channel btw, keep going! :D
AndyRC Cool. Now, slightly otp but do you think that strapping an 808 to an h502s can cause interferencies to the gps? I am a bit disappointed by thge low quality of the stock cam. And from a dead battery. And from a noisy motor gear that seems to have not something stuck in it but it goes trtrtrtrtrtrtr. (Even if it flies, I am afraid to burn one of his motors, in flight!). When/if you find some time maybe take a look on the various h502s that I've put on. If you want I'll give the precise links. And maybe let me think what you suggest about. Thank you again
Others ideas for the cam: put the h501s module in it // or the 808 inside the belly, or to strap a run cam 2 that is shielded, or...? Have you any cool ideas? Maybe you can do a mod/vid. I think it will be a success. p.x.: I brought the h502s even after seen your entusiast video on it. Bye!
Hey great video. I'm just starting out and have 0 real gear. No transmitter goggles ect. Is there anything you'd recommend as an all in one to get started? I like micros but I don't want something like a tiny whoop as they lack the punch that I'd like. Thanks!! I'm looking to spend 600 usd max.
taranis for the TX for sure as for goggles cheap eachine vr007 expensive fatshark hd3 theres no all in one system fpv is very much diy when it comes to acro
I am surprised about the power it has on 3S. Flight time of 5mints is very nice. Are that 3045 tri blades you get with it? I start with 3S but i am ordering 4s 850mah. Hope my frame arrives coming week.
awesome vids Andy, watched alot of them. i just ordered a picnic quad frame to start my build. also had a question for u. i have a jj1000 with 8.5mm motors and need a higher c battery because it cuts power with 380mah 25c ebay blue batterys. which high c rated nanotech would be comparable to it size and weight? figure u have a bunch of batterys laying around lol. thanks
Have u thought of reviewing the f150 find it here m.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_356605.html?currency=USD&lkid=10133805&gclid=COqBw76rgdACFYJkhgodr1YNEw
Yogi Bear check out micro apm, pixhawk mini, pixfalcon they are all over bangood, eBay and others. Keep in mind you are gonna need gps and telemetry for waypoints so need a frame with a little bit more room.
Just a quick one andy, when you order from gearbest/bangood im guessing they come from abroad? (Guessing you live in uk) how long do you wait and do you get stung with import tax ect? Many thanks keep up the good work.
Great video as ever. I would buy the components for this in a millisecond if I knew I wouldn't get stung for extortionate duty/handling fees. Any time I buy something from BG or GB, it happens. They all get shipped from China so it's deemed an import. You're based in the UK Andy and I'm in Ireland, so similiar rules would apply to you too. How can these fees be avoided? Sorry for rant.
AndyRC i have the right drivers but with this board it would work then it wouldnt i couldnt have ne reboot checked or chip erase or it wouldnt work boot pad had to be soldered then once verifing un soldered ive never had one like it and 3 or 4 times it would almost finish then fail
the problem with the spracing f3 is that they have been cloned a lot, sounds like u had a bad one! this one flashed just switching the drivers.. same as my martian build i show switching the drivers in that one. hope u got it working cheers
Don't all these quads start to feel the same? You have all the QX series plus probably dozens more. Given similar handling characteristics, what would make this quad worth buying at nearly $200, over just building a micro brushed for less than 1/2 price?
they are all different in fact u can build identical quads and they fly different. its a bit like saying whats the point of having a show that reviews cars when they all have four wheels and drive on the road. but each one is different and quads are much more affordable than cars... and more fun in my opinion also :) this one will have around 5 times the power of a brushed quad
Hello sir, want to ask, if im using omnibus F3 AIO with OSD and racerstar motor 1104 4000kv. What esc i should use? XRotor 12A 4IN1 1-4S Micro built in bec or Racerstar RS 20A 4in1 ESC
The reason there are two ground wires is because one is for grounding the esc to the fc and the pdb! You really should ground the esc to the fc also, it completes the circuit?!! Gr8 video!!
Hamza Hussain hi i was ordering stuf from ali but now i try only BG. to many times things are not shiped or takes way to long to get. now i only order by ali when GB dont have. better pay a bit more to dont have the headache.
Short post: I've ordered the drone after this video. The package has been send back to GearBest due to the wrong address on the package. Now Gearbest is offering me two options: 1) Pay an additional 95USD to resend the package 2) receive 90USD as Store credits as a compensation. They did not offer any full refund (or resend), because they are claiming the postal service is in fault, while the address on the paypal invoice is correct! Due to this issue (which was my first order on GearBest), I will not order anything from them anymore. They've lost any thrust from my end! This is just a warning for people who might consider ordering at GearBest.
Is that frame the same frame as www.banggood.com/Realacc-RX130-RX150-130mm-150mm-3mm-Arm-Carbon-Frame-Kit-with-5V12V-PDB-XT60-Plug-p-1088991.html?rmmds=search ? Could you check the minimum space between the motor holes?
Reason im asking is, i have some spare Runner 250 motors(from a broken runner hehe), and wanted to see if they'd fit. i think the holes are 12mm diagonal
u need higher kv than the runner motors. u wont get much thrust otherwise like the jjpro p130. go with the dys 4000kv of the red bottoms in this vid it will save u in the long run u would have to drill to get 250 motors to fit it.
your vids are the SHIT... question... it looked like you put way too much solder on when you were "tinnin' up the pads"... is that a problem? you looked haphazard with your solders but I've ruined like 3 boards with my crappy soldering. I have to be doing something wrong
Mark Novak Get your self a good solider iron with a fine tip. Pick up some flux & solider wick to remove excess solider that you get on the board. Plus get a Multi Meter to check your boards...Look at the videos from Blue Falcon or Jason Bardwell between those 2 you can fix or prevent a screw up. Between those 2 you'll be able to prevent any issues that could pop up. Good Luck!
Like you're reading my mind andy! Been thinking of making a brushless micro today and now you've gone and done half the research for me :p
great glad to have helped
Hey Andy, just thanks, thanks for the detail, time and care you put into your videos - they're extremely enjoyable.
Nice video. These little guys are among my favorites. I will actually use more with OSD, helps me get the tune done faster. Without osd I just fly the pack or packs, then make small changes. Takes me many flight sessions before I get a tune I am happy with. OSD also helps me discern if one battery is better than another. Waiting for a custom frame to do another 130 with the FuriousFPV piggy OSD.
hey nick
hello.
What is the osd showing you to know what to tune?
Matt Jones nothing. u fly the copter and then change pids through the Osd instead of plugging it into a computer every time
Love the little 808 cameras. I have a 808, a möbius, and a runcam 2. I think my 808 sees more flight time than any of the others.
Nice neat build,I bought the Walkers rodeo 150 & the Google's 4 for my first for setup,I'm pretty pleased with both.
great yes i hear thats a good one
Basically my next build!
Really nice only wish i had your luck on building quads
thats the good thing with youtube. u can cut the fires out and do it till its right ;)
really such a beautiful machine... has me really tempted just based on how clean you built it.... i agree it has more than enough power.
thanks yes it came out clean this one cheers
Another clean build nice one AndyRC.
thank you :)
Nice video. What is the total weight including battery?
Great video as always. Do you think this quad can be of any competition against the atom v2?
it should be on par with the atom yes
Hi Andy still looks a good model to build would a micro swift fit
Pretty nice kit Andy :)
I would have definitely choose 4S over 3S!
808 camera, damn, so oooold school :D
Thanks for sharing and have a great week
thanks for watching. i think 4s could be too much with this prop size but i will try it out
AndyRC Just be careful because these motors can handle pretty easily 4S but maybe not these DYS ESCs though...
no id have to switch the escs, but this is my worry, the motors state they can take 4S but with these props they are already performing like a 4s, so my worry is that a 4s on this frame will burn the motors up, which is why i kept it 3s. the numbers dont quite add up to justify a 4s
AndyRC A lot of people are using the EMAX RS1306 4000KV on 4S Andy and they are handle it pretty well, thrust is just awesome :)
yes but i also see a lot saying the motors are overheating ;)
Great video. Thank you. I have purchased the kit and followed the instructions to build and set up the quad. I'm up to the betaflight configurator on the receiver page. I've turned on my Taranis and plugged the battery into the quad, and I do not see R,P,Y or T responding to my controller inputs. The receiver should be bound to the Taranis because when I unplug the quad my Taranis reports that the signal is lost, and I did hear at 18:14 in the video that I need to plug the cable into the left side port for SBUS. Any ideas where to look to solve this issue?
Oops, nevermind. I forgot to save my settings in Receiver Mode and Serial Receiver Provider.
great enjoy
I do have one final problem... I've calibrated the ECSs on the motor page, and all motors work fine except for one that does not go full speed and rotates back and forth rather than in one direction. Could this be a signal problem or ESC problem?
sounds like either a cold solder join or the motors shorting on the screws
Luxuous budget for a great lesson, hopping the next lesson for a cheap budget :)
check out the cheap quad build i did recently for lower budgets u can apply it to this
Yes i saw it just after having saw this one, congratulations for your work ;)
thanks for the support
Hi Andy! Great vid!! You've inspired me! I'm going to build one exactly like it per your parts list and this vid, I can't wait, it's inexpensive enough and I've been wanting to do a ground up build for a while I've done my share of "rebuilds" lol!! Also I'd love to hear the mod for the cameras, I've got the 808 exact one you have on the way and would love to do the 60 fps mod! Thanks again for the vid!!
no problem also gonna try a mobius mini on this one cheers
Hey Andy! Look me up on Google plus for my email, I guess it won't let you put one in here I tried and it wouldn't post?? But I made my email and Phone number available to you so you can email me with the works of how to do the 808 camera mod 1080p at 60 fps!! I must have this! Please clue me in! Thanks!-Turbo Reviews.
I'll follow this guide when I know what Im doing.
Check out the ROTORX ATOM MINI V2 . Its only 2"
Good job Andy, cheers!
Nice video! Would you fly this indoors?
no its too powerful stay with brushed for indoors or check the brushless mini owl
Thanks Andy!
I love your Build video. I want to make my own quad someday.
thanks so much for watching
great vids Andy thanks for sharing 😀 question... do you ever consider the thread direction on the motors on your builds? every one says you can change the motor direction in the software but does this not mean your props may undo the nuts if you have the thread direction all messed up??🤔
you have to buy two of two motors; two that the threads go ccw, and two that go cw.
Tidy build Andy 👍
Really excellent build tutorial, loved it!
Great video and build ,how does it compare to the tarot 130 ? I Just bought the tarot 150 .
its got way more power than the tarot but its heavier and flight time is less
nice build Andy, very nice cant wait for the eachine vtail review hopefully u will have a post drop with that soon :)
i dont know about that one hopefully they send it
its quite nicely done buy the looks of it www.banggood.com/Eachine-V-tail-210-FPV-Drone-1080P-HD-DVR-SP-Racing-F3-5_8G-40CH-200mW-VTX-OSD-w-Eachine-I6-RTF-p-1100100.html
looks interesting! thanks
yeah bud its a wet dream almost in my eyes compared to whats out there atm but u never know :) very nice spec just what I want for a micro really but hay ho :)
every time i get close to choosing a micro to learn acro fpv, another great quad appears, great review. i was wondering if using the 12v bec on a 3s system might be causing some rf noise?.. i use this pdb on a 4s quad feeding my vtx 12v and my vtx feeds my cheapo fake ccd camera 5v... crystal clear, now if only i could actually fly fpv.
replies
What flight mode are you running at 39:18?
Jimbo acro mode
Great build and video. Is there a particular PDB you would choose for this build with a better regulator and maybe a layout that suits the frame really well? I guess you don't get the full 12V with a 3s.
id go for one where the wires dont have to cross over the regulator i believe that could be the source of the noise
Thanks, good idea.
Thanks, I will have a look.

Hi, thanks for the video! I'm thinking of building this but I have some questions:
1) does it fly ok with 2 cells if I want a bit less power?
2) is it relatively quiet compared to other drones this size?
3) about how much run time per charge on the recommended batteries?
thanks and sorry if the questions were answered in the video.
thanks again and please keep up the good work!
regards.
no it wont fly well with 2 cells, it is quiet on 3s yes. set a timer for 4 mins
What wire stripper is that?
Mobius Mini has eaten the 808 for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Hi Andy, nice video. How do you recorded the flight at min 39? With an external cam? Or what?
gopro with a head mount thx
Do you have to use a computer at any time of the drone
Is it really necessary to set up the failsafe 3 times? You did it on your radio, then you gave the information via the connection to your receiver and finally you set it up in betaflight. Wouldn't it be enough to just activate the drop-option in betaflight? Thanks for your great videos - you just got a new subscriber
Cool...Awesome...camera bracket is bit OTT...
What better PDB to minimise noise on the FPV feed would you recommend?
one that doesnt have the wires cross over the regulator which i think is the source of the noise. or get a better vtx
I usually buy the matek type that has the ESC power pads grouped properly (a positive and ground in each corner, kinda), so hopefully this will be okay. I'd ordered the components to do a build on this frame just before you published this video - looking forward to putting it together.
+ thanks!
Excellent video Andy, might well get this as separate components and use a Runcam Eagle because it's so nice with my Dom 3s. But don't you think there's an issue with those cheap JST connectors, with a 4 cell the motors can pull over 40 amps, less with 3 cell, but still?
jst is fine for a 3S i didnt build it to take a 4s
Need those wire strippers... what are they called ...or even a link would be awesome
Very good tutorial, Andy! Thanks a lot! Keep up the good work :-)
Hi andy, why you did a flashing on the receiver into the remote?
Create lua script? Etc...
I dont get this at all.
If im using XM + receiver, do I have to do as the same?
Hi Andy, how does 130 feels compared to 220?
less power but more stable
Could you provide a summary of the cost, battery life, FPV range?
How do u change the camera setting frames per sec
Hi Andy Great info! I am a newbie, Can i use FlySky FS-i6 Transmitter With FS-iA6 Receiver? Thanks in advance
yes you can :)
Thank you So much! :)
hi Andy. another great video.
I was about to buy the bits from your cheap Martian build and now you show me this! Which one would you recommend for 1st build looking to learn freestyle and a bit of racing?
id go for the bigger, much easier build
Really want to pick up this quad! looks like a lot of fun for the money, but it looks like one hard hit to that pod will smash the standoffs, pull on the wires and damage the FC and PDB... Any thoughts on this? how does this frame handle crashes? I am wanting to use this quad a parking lot flyer during winter so lots of proximity stuff.
its a problem with pods in general what you are referring to.. luckily the frame is 15 dollars ;) mines not broke yet
what was the final weight with battery
Hi Can I ask what battery you are running on this quad?
its in the description cheers
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.

can you please help me with this problem.
Regards Anuj
nice 4 point roll how long did it take you to lern acro and is it easyer to use in fpv
i flew planes first which dont have any self leveling. id recommend trying a simulator such as lift off or freerider to practice
Yee, acro in FPV is easy, i can fly pretty much without crashing, but cant make a turn without FPV
try using horizon mode to get u use to it all the best
thanks for the surgestions
no problem
Grrrr, I would but I don't have a computer to program the FC and I don't have goggles yet. Can't wait to get my inductrix fpv RTF, it's perfect for what I need, and them I can possibly progress to something like this. Not going for the 200qx and va1100 anymore, doesn't seem worth it. Great informative video!
great enjoy flying :)
what box-shape mini brushless quad you recommend? mini owl?
it depends on your requirements, indoor brushless definitely mini owl outdoor micro brushelss. this one
what are the cons of using the mini owl outside? thanks in advance
small flight times
Andy - I'm considering a 130 size due to a change in the law that restricts the use of quads over 250g. Would you still recommend a scratch build with the decreasing prices/availability of models such as the Tarot 130 or the Eachine Racer 130?

I did buy a qx70 and put the parts into a lantian frame with higher rpm motors as it was crap, but its no good for windy days. Fun on a still day though.
Dont realy need a super racer for this purpose as i have a 220 and 250 already but they are overkill for a local park.
Thanks in advance
I heard gb is coming out with a 180 size frame for 5inch props
i fear for the components with that one haha :) although i fear for the components getting hit with the 190!
Hey Andy,
Looking to build my own quad based off this 130 frame. Do you know what size Runcam it can run? I was looking at the runcam owl plus but Im not sure it can fit.
any of the ccd cams will fit
What's the range of the drone?
i started to build quadcopter because of you and now everytime you make a new build i wan't to do it to :((( you are costing me a lot of money ! :D
this is the problem with this hobby. always an upgraded model round the corner. but its the same with most tech these days. hope u found something u enjoy flying cheers
started with the exact same build as your first450 cheap quad 2 week after you released the video now i have 3 racer, 2 x 450 on apm and just buy a qx95 because of you :), i'm planning on a fllying wing with gps next ... have you ever tryed these? very nice channel btw, keep going! :D
i need to get back into planes the problem is the space they take up. id love to build a long range skywalker with RVOSD
:) yeah should be fun to do long range!
I have also heard of BG and its excellence.
How to put the 808 #16 on 60fps?Thank you Andy
use a program called hybrid cheers
AndyRC Can you please give us a link up here? thanx
ill make a video on it cheers
AndyRC Cool. Now, slightly otp but do you think that strapping an 808 to an h502s can cause interferencies to the gps?
I am a bit disappointed by thge low quality of the stock cam. And from a dead battery. And from a noisy motor gear that seems to have not something stuck in it but it goes trtrtrtrtrtrtr. (Even if it flies, I am afraid to burn one of his motors, in flight!).
When/if you find some time maybe take a look on the various h502s that I've put on. If you want I'll give the precise links.
And maybe let me think what you suggest about.
Thank you again
Others ideas for the cam: put the h501s module in it
// or the 808 inside the belly, or to strap a run cam 2 that is shielded, or...?
Have you any cool ideas? Maybe you can do a mod/vid. I think it will be a success.
p.x.: I brought the h502s even after seen your entusiast video on it.
Bye!
hey is the cheaper version if the taranis controller any good fly sky for like 40$
check out the flysky i6x i really like it
AndyRC what would u recommend for first drone build I could do
AndyRC your channel has motivated me to try this hobby out super awesome
Hey great video. I'm just starting out and have 0 real gear. No transmitter goggles ect. Is there anything you'd recommend as an all in one to get started? I like micros but I don't want something like a tiny whoop as they lack the punch that I'd like. Thanks!! I'm looking to spend 600 usd max.
taranis for the TX for sure as for goggles cheap eachine vr007 expensive fatshark hd3 theres no all in one system fpv is very much diy when it comes to acro
I was looking at the RTF / FlexRC Owl Storm Edition. They have options to just bundle what they recommend together on helipal
is there's any difference between failsafe on flight controller and failsafe on receiver taranis have ??
yes they are two separate systems. if the flight controller locks up the fial safe could not work so its best to set both up
AndyRC so it's kind a backup failsafe ? Is there's any brand (except Taranis) have this kind of feature ?? Or its just Taranis ??
I am surprised about the power it has on 3S. Flight time of 5mints is very nice. Are that 3045 tri blades you get with it?
I start with 3S but i am ordering 4s 850mah. Hope my frame arrives coming week.
yes 3045 good luck cheers
Thanks. Hope thate the frame arrives tomorrow.
waiting is the hardest part :(
take a look at the mobius mini it is 24 grams and had 1080p video
yes gonna try it thx
will you make a in dept video about the mobius mini 😆
nice video man
thanks :)
Not sure if i should build a 4s 210 or this. My ZMR250 needs replacemente because it was built to learn and now its just too slow for me.
id go for a 210
250 -> 210 -> 180 -> 130
Go for 210 ;)
awesome vids Andy, watched alot of them. i just ordered a picnic quad frame to start my build. also had a question for u. i have a jj1000 with 8.5mm motors and need a higher c battery because it cuts power with 380mah 25c ebay blue batterys. which high c rated nanotech would be comparable to it size and weight? figure u have a bunch of batterys laying around lol. thanks
i always use the 750mah nanotechs
AndyRC. thanks, would a 500mah nanotech fit in jj1000 frame? And also been looking at the kingkong smart 100 no reviews on it yet, u should do one!
i dont have that quad sorry so i cant comment. cheers
Est ce que c’est compatible avec la taranis qx 7
The 6 people who thumbed down this video are all Jeremy Clarkson for daring to say you don't need more POWEEEEEEEERRR!!!
heheh thanks
Hy Andy,
I want to build a 250 size quad with 2206 2300kv motors on 3s with 5 maybe 6 inch props.
What kind of esc do I need? A 20 amp esc?
yes 20 amp or 30 amp
AndyRC So if i get 20a i can also run 4s on a 5 inch prop?
Thanks i for the super fast response btw!
yes u can with 2300kv. any higher kv and u might wanna go 30a
Andy do u know any flight controllers with waypoint flying
Nice video as always btw
Have u thought of reviewing the f150 find it here m.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_356605.html?currency=USD&lkid=10133805&gclid=COqBw76rgdACFYJkhgodr1YNEw
Yogi Bear check out micro apm, pixhawk mini, pixfalcon they are all over bangood, eBay and others. Keep in mind you are gonna need gps and telemetry for waypoints so need a frame with a little bit more room.
nasarami thanks I wasn't gunna use a 150 frame btw
nasarami have u built before
Just a quick one andy, when you order from gearbest/bangood im guessing they come from abroad? (Guessing you live in uk) how long do you wait and do you get stung with import tax ect? Many thanks keep up the good work.
they come from china usually takes 1 week to 2 weeks get here
AndyRC ok thanks for getting back to me
no problem
im gonna try this
Great video as ever. I would buy the components for this in a millisecond if I knew I wouldn't get stung for extortionate duty/handling fees. Any time I buy something from BG or GB, it happens. They all get shipped from China so it's deemed an import. You're based in the UK Andy and I'm in Ireland, so similiar rules would apply to you too. How can these fees be avoided? Sorry for rant.
hi martin. perhaps england doesnt have the same rules as iv never had to pay tax duty for either companies.
they have an all in one f3 fc pdb and osd on banggood made my build on this frame alot easier also used the dys 1406 which made this thing a monster
yes i have bought one to try thx
AndyRC flashing to beta flight was pain with that board took me over 2 hours let me know if you have trouble ill let you know what it took for mine
didnt have a problem with it. but done quite a lot of them now. just have to get the right driver installed
AndyRC i have the right drivers but with this board it would work then it wouldnt i couldnt have ne reboot checked or chip erase or it wouldnt work boot pad had to be soldered then once verifing un soldered ive never had one like it and 3 or 4 times it would almost finish then fail
the problem with the spracing f3 is that they have been cloned a lot, sounds like u had a bad one! this one flashed just switching the drivers.. same as my martian build i show switching the drivers in that one. hope u got it working cheers
Don't all these quads start to feel the same? You have all the QX series plus probably dozens more. Given similar handling characteristics, what would make this quad worth buying at nearly $200, over just building a micro brushed for less than 1/2 price?
they are all different in fact u can build identical quads and they fly different. its a bit like saying whats the point of having a show that reviews cars when they all have four wheels and drive on the road. but each one is different and quads are much more affordable than cars... and more fun in my opinion also :) this one will have around 5 times the power of a brushed quad
Hello sir, want to ask, if im using omnibus F3 AIO with OSD and racerstar motor 1104 4000kv. What esc i should use? XRotor 12A 4IN1 1-4S Micro built in bec or Racerstar RS 20A 4in1 ESC
u dont really want to be using 4s with 1104 motors so i would say 12A would be fine
Oww thanks
what's the flight time?
5 mins
I reckon 4s on a micro is overkill
i agree
The reason there are two ground wires is because one is for grounding the esc to the fc and the pdb! You really should ground the esc to the fc also, it completes the circuit?!! Gr8 video!!
disagree
Ooomggg finaly :D
nice name
Ty
+ greet.,+Andy ,thanks for advice.
no problem :)
had you have ever buying experience with ali express
Hamza Hussain hi i was ordering stuf from ali but now i try only BG. to many times things are not shiped or takes way to long to get. now i only order by ali when GB dont have. better pay a bit more to dont have the headache.
i do get some stuff from them yes buy shipping usually takes longer as stated by geert
does motors sound weird
prop killer I think it may be the buzzer because of the voltage dip
The ESCs coming with this kit is a joke! 10A on the RS1306 won't unlock the true power of the Emax RS1306. I wish they use a 15-20A ESCs instead
agreed
Short post:
I've ordered the drone after this video. The package has been send back to GearBest due to the wrong address on the package. Now Gearbest is offering me two options:
1) Pay an additional 95USD to resend the package
2) receive 90USD as Store credits as a compensation.
They did not offer any full refund (or resend), because they are claiming the postal service is in fault, while the address on the paypal invoice is correct!
Due to this issue (which was my first order on GearBest), I will not order anything from them anymore. They've lost any thrust from my end!
This is just a warning for people who might consider ordering at GearBest.
never had a problem with gear best in two years of buying from them sorry u had such an issue.
I have the same exact drone
do you like it?
+AndyRC yes I do it was actually my first quad
great news :)
muito legal likeee
Is that frame the same frame as www.banggood.com/Realacc-RX130-RX150-130mm-150mm-3mm-Arm-Carbon-Frame-Kit-with-5V12V-PDB-XT60-Plug-p-1088991.html?rmmds=search ? Could you check the minimum space between the motor holes?
yep thats the one u dont need worry about the motor holes
Reason im asking is, i have some spare Runner 250 motors(from a broken runner hehe), and wanted to see if they'd fit. i think the holes are 12mm diagonal
u need higher kv than the runner motors. u wont get much thrust otherwise like the jjpro p130. go with the dys 4000kv of the red bottoms in this vid it will save u in the long run
u would have to drill to get 250 motors to fit it.
And you dont think i'd be able to get any decent thrust out of maybe a 4-blade prop?
i wouldnt say so you need higher revs to get power out of a smaller prop. you would be better off building a 200+ sized model from them
Make an racing
tricopter
didn't catch if your test flight was 3s or 4s
3s for this one thx
are you taxed?
iv never had to pay extra customs for either.
that midi cam is sd not hd false advertising
your vids are the SHIT... question... it looked like you put way too much solder on when you were "tinnin' up the pads"... is that a problem? you looked haphazard with your solders but I've ruined like 3 boards with my crappy soldering. I have to be doing something wrong
Mark Novak
Get your self a good solider iron with a fine tip. Pick up some flux & solider wick to remove excess solider that you get on the board. Plus get a Multi Meter to check your boards...Look at the videos from Blue Falcon or Jason Bardwell between those 2 you can fix or prevent a screw up. Between those 2 you'll be able to prevent any issues that could pop up. Good Luck!
