Looks like I had a filter or camera issue on the desk review section. Sorry folks, hopefully you were able to see or understand that section. 😕

KAACK is a special version of betaflight designed for bi directional motors and rpm limits. used in the pro spec 7in racing and stuff. many racers now run it on other stuff.
ah interesting. When I asked the NBD rep they only responded with "I think its for racing" :)
@@NickBurnsFPVlol.
Kaack was made by limon and others. Used to be a seperate version/firmware of betaflight but now is included in part of cloud build.
Main features are rpm limiter, battery mah/usage carry over between batteries, time at 100% throttle, and others
@@NickBurnsFPVIf that was the official response it makes me question their knowledge on the subject 😐
Great stuff, Nick!
This thing looks awesome. OG got to have all the fun this time :(
9:50 I was discussing this very thing with someone at my LHS a couple weeks ago. We're getting so light and small that pretty soon the only way to get lighter and smaller is to force us to learn micro soldering. In a few years all of us are going to have hot air stations, reflow trays, and microscopes.
Thanks Nick for another awesome review! NBD is based in California and their Hummingbird V3.1 seems got a price down, now selling at $79.99, since i m still a newbie to fpv world i will get this one instead of the racesepc haha. Thanks again for the good info!
I think the standard v3.1 version is at that price point. I will have to double triple check.
And the fight for the cheaper BNF tiny whoop starts!
I bet Happymodel will come with something just below that, around $85 maybe.
But we are the winners! 🙌
The last time I was this early, my mom had to get rushed to the ER.
lol that early huh?
I did not care much for the other one but now that's something interesting for sure!
I can't believe how good your video is when you go downstairs, amazing!
Our RF performance is multi factored. I do have the video reception video linked in the description
Amazing flying and review, Nick! Thanks!!! 😃
Those little guys are better each and every time! Fantastic!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Those are probably hot-air soldered. Solder/Flux paste applied with a syringe. Start heating. Once the solder turns to liquid the wires kind of suck themselves into the pool. So you use tweezers to just guide a VERY small exposed part of wire to the pool. I would have been reprimanded by my manager for leaving so much exposed wire on those motor leads. (very glad I don't have that job anymore)
That very well could be how they were able to use those pads.
The motors seem to be wrapped into delta terminated, that's pretty unusal on 0702 motors... Really nice flying Nick, as always!
Took Newbeedrone long enough to switch to A30.
Race it straight to the trashcan.
I hope to someday be as good an indoor pilot as you. Im blown away every time
Price and performance look really good! Thanks for sharing Mr. Burns!!!
My pleasure!!
Nice review❤ thank you Nick !
NBD has had some issues in the race scene, as some of their FCs had wandering VTX - this is where it would be great to see something like and RFExplorer for the review process. But also since they have closed source firmware, you're stuck with whatever hex files they decide to release.
I have visted getting an RF tester for over a year. Unfortunately I have not found them available.
KAACK is a version of betaflight developed for some whoop race scenes that limit the rpm, they can then see the whoop is following rules when they see the splash screen.
Others have commented KAACK started in 5inch racing, but I can't say with any certainty. It does make sense to have they info on screen for organizers to verify and pilots to be sure.
@@NickBurnsFPVstarted on 5" Freedom Spec I believe. Also you can change the warning messages to say whatever you want 😉
@@notsure1502 Are the warning messages in the cli?
Great video and nice whoop . And the price is a good price this whoops are getting really affordable for us great .
Looks like you're unfamiliar with KAACK firmware, it's a branch of betaflight very specifically to add features for multi person races, the big things it includes:
- revamps the osd stick menu to make it so you can adjust your throttle/rpm limits and channels very quickly
- Adds a ready flag in the modes tab so on races you can mark yourself when you're ready in your osd
- Changes your 100% throttle message to the word KAACK, and then on the post screen shows you how much time you spent at 100% throttle
- Lowers the failsafe recovery delay so in noisy environments if you have a failsafe it takes less time to get control back
- Lets you set your osd messages to custom things so you can have shout outs to your friends/families watching the streams, or just generally be silly as racing is a fun thing to do
- Adds in a RPM limiter which is used for spec racing, most specs take a bit off the top of expected rpm so it makes it so crafts don't need to be brand new to be viable, and slows down the motors so everyone competing has motors going the same speed. Also puts it on the main screen for race directors to verify.
Now if you're wondering why do racers who want to go fast as possible want to limit the output on their motors? There is a couple of places that limiting your output power can give you better lap times, the two main ones are on track that are really tight, knocking down the power a bit on these tracks will reduce the amount of blowing out your turns resulting in tighter lines that will result in better lap times (consistency also tends to go up as power goes down). The other situation is sometimes the race director is a madman and makes the track so long that the total race time is longer than what your battery can handle and you can then put an output limit to get your whoop to go a bit more distance so you're not having your battery die before you're in the finish gate.
As for this BNF, it's likely going to be the first BNF I have bought from NewBeeDrone since I started FPV, which at the demands I have for my whoops says a lot!
Those motor wires look quite unique. Copper enabled and braided together then a stripped section of each wire at the very end? Probably saves decent weight.
Hey Nick, what is the song you use in your outro?
Finally something interesting from newbeedrone. The only issue i see is the osd screen still seems a little muddy, and range is severely limited for outdoor at 25mw. I would love to see a 75 built with similar goals.
Another good review Nick
Wonder if the manufacturer is using soldering paste then takes a heat gun to it. Planning to do another tiny whoop build and using Crossfire even with the camera.
solder paste was mentioned in another comment as the likely method
Hey Nick
How does this fly compared to the Air65?
Thanks
Its similar as we might expect, but the largest differences is the punchouts outside.
I don’t know why we just don’t use rubber bands . They hold better on different batteries and if made out of a good material can add grip as well.
I can't say why, but rubber on the bottom side will likely cause a crash on a bottom bump or slide.
@@NickBurnsFPV Interesting, I never considered that aspect. They could most certainly act like a brake. I’m still rocking my tinyhawk and the rubber bands have worked well over the years . I just recently got the Air75. But I can’t get it to fly in Airmode. It just bobbles like crazy no matter what I seem to do to the tune. Guess I’m going to have to learn Acro indoors… But the more I crash the more my dog eats my drone.
This or the Air65?
ok fine ill buy one. How did you get your low battery to say "aint leaving"
Those unique messages are the default in the firmware, likely part of the kaack firmware
first thing first smash the like button, than watch the video
awesome!! thank you
!! hey
Hey there!
