Buy the Five33 Switchback and Motors at:
* Five33 (USA) - flyfive33.com
* Five33 (EU) - flyfive33.eu/
Buy the Aikon F7 Mini HD at:
* RaceDayQuads - bit.ly/3um4OCM
* Pyro-Drone - bit.ly/3ehUI09
* Catalyst Machineworks - bit.ly/33g8gmL
* Banggood - bit.ly/3um7Bfe
Pyro's and CMW's listing for the Aikon F7 is the V3 version. I use the V2 version in the video, and there are some slight differences between them--specifically the way the 5v/10v solder bridge works. I'm including the links to the V3 just in case the V2 is out of stock and you decide to go with the V3.
Buy the Redux Air 32 bit ESC at:
* Redux Air - bit.ly/3elWAF4
* ThrottleUpUSA - bit.ly/3tm60oo
There are allmost no dealers for the Redux at this time; and the Redux may be out of stock for a while. A good alternative is the Aikon 20mm ESC (bonus: you won't have to make a custom wire harness to go between FC and ESC if you get the Aikon).

Please! Watch the beginning of this video (ua-cam.com/video/WMDED6j1-Ic/v-deo.html) to see two important changes you should make in this build.
@FPVquadGuy The DVR on an air unit can record audio , but I have not seen anyone crack the ability to get live audio....If they did , I would immediately do it.
I went to this nextvideo thinking you were going to fix the connecting GHST to T2, and instead of moving it to an R pad, you suggest moving it to T3. Shouldn’t it go to an RX pad? Does the serial RX half duplex make the pin both tx and rx?
I learned something today, but wasn't informed that I will.
You was actually.. subconsciously.. :) It´s on the wall behind him :P
GOLD! Acronyms do not express how much I laughed out loud!
lmao
True
I saw you in my dream. We were flying together and you taught me a lot of things. Well it might be the effect of me watching your videos all day.
No one gaf
Np
Thanks for the endless help and information. I have a few soldering tips as someone who is JSTD-001ES certified. You shouldn't need to add flux. The problem is that you tinned the ESC pads with too much solder. The extra solder creeped down the wires and also limited the amount of solder you could add during the actual soldering of the joint in order to avoid totally overfilling it . Not adding enough fresh solder is why you found you didn't have enough flux from the solder and had to add flux. Tin the pads much thinner and you'll find you won't need to add flux and you won't get the solder creeping down the wires.
Awesome video, and Thankyou for the support! Can’t wait to see you out on the track!
Am I gonna learn something today, Joshua??
Nope!
I have learnd something today..!
EVERY day buddy. Every day.
the red tape rage is real. you are triggering my OCD. thank you JB.
I'm Early. Hi Joshua Sir (if you are reading this)! You really are a great teacher!
🤮
🤐.. There's people that believe his head and ego may explode if we encourage him.
Tread lightly here. 😁
@@MadDragon75 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
what a simp
pathetic

I just bought some parts from Evan last weekend and built one myself. I love the switchback config... and bruh, those motors are some beasts!!
These build videos are great! Thank you for sharing!
so happy to see this video. great job!
I'ved learned something today! Great video JB.
I love watching a master at work
You should come back to Georgia Tech for some racing! We just recently got approved to host races in the Burger Bowl!
Yep, we are going to host a freedom spec qualifier and some multigp racing 🔥
That would be awesome!
Nice !
I (attempt) freestyle with a little racing drone.
We do as please.
How do I find more info on this? I live in the area and would love to come spectate when it happens.
11:46 Everyone, if you make use of this file, please do it with the part submerged in water, because inhaling carbon dust can be really bad for your health.
Don’t know that
Great build man I like the way you troubleshoot on camera instead of some how magically everything goes perfect like most build videos lol
Great video. I just picked up a racer too, definitely like that frame! Nice work 💯❤️
why do i feel like you're always speaking directly to me?!! lol good stuuf as usual
Jeez JB! Great close up video.
Simply the best intron on the channel ever 😄
LOL.. Love the start of the vid JB 😁👍
so cool that u building a drone and im going to watch lol thank u. my firts kwad i build it because of ur videos the second i bouth it the sedora and now i own more or less between ten and eleven kwads thanks to u.
Thank you!! I Now know my build 👍🏼
Looks so simple when you do it!
Ghost hybrid video soon!! Thumbs up for that!
Great video👍 I always learn something today😉😄
I was wondering what build you would be using at the race. Got my answer and a build video. Sweet. 💖🤓
Nothing like a perfect fit. Files are nice for superior frames
Hilarious intro, JB. Had me LMAO. You da best!
Hey Josh, cool video, as always! Make small cut-outs in the battery pad to make the scews accessible! ;-)
This video makes me want to get in to FPV. Looks so simple to build, but I know nothing about the tech side of it. Good video! You got yourself a new sub.
That's what I did JUST JUMP IN THE WATER IS GREAT!!!
Just do it. You're always gonna run into some kind of problems in this hobby, but it's part of the process. And the feeling when everything works is the best!!
Dang, I'm going to swap the action camera mount on my Crux35 with a shark fin - that's awesome. I installed the ViFly Finder Mini in my Crux35 while I watched this. Thanks!
17:10 is why i bought a 5 pack of those pens. soooo convenient!
Thanks I learned that I want that friggin flux pin xD Didn't think it would make that much difference! :O
LOL .... Love the Tape. Bring it!!!
Soft mounted a cap brilliant
Those MT30 plugs are so cool, new to me.
If I didn’t buy expensive ass shit I wouldn’t use it as much! I know it sounds stupid but your rant to begin with is actually so so true for me personally! Thanks again for an awesome video
You are hilarious 😆 thank you Sir! 🤌🏼
good clear video m8
Awesome cant wait
Thanks again bruvva!
Hi Josh Great video on your own build, I have to admit I'm jealous. I just finished a build of my new 6s 4in. I really like this one you did , Maybe someday I will try out ghost, But until then I might just try out the frame. Can't wait to see more video on this one.
Looking forward to seeing your betaflight setup video .
you are teasing us! Where is the new perfect freestyle build! lol good video, thanks for the guide.
Haha good one , 4 years later and still learning from you bro.. I’m building this one as I am the slowest pilot In Redding California.
Hello from Chico!
I like the tape! I use white personally
Damn you are teasing us about that new best freestyle kwad😂
thats what i was thinking!
I learned about flux back when i started building drag slot car chassis...flux is an amazing chemical!
Oh! and every day I learn somethingS...right on this channel.
I am pretty sure that Drew is going to love that Red electrical tape 🥴
great soldering skills
Champion !
that hole in the mid plate you used for the capacitor zip tie is for that reason exactly!
That intro made me laugh hard... Great video jb
I saw you cut that Ghost antenna mount...😳😳😳😳😯😯😯🇬🇧..... Where's my Fridge scene..?...lol..
🔋 pad you put on the bottom, I use a hole puncher or like a belt hole punch and make the holes the size of the head of the screws so you can tighten or remove the screws latter without out removing the 🔋 protector.
Love how you troll the trolls! I say use the red tape in more areas!
Hilarious intro.... relatable 🤣.
The intro had me laughing out loud.😂
YES! Red tape = more power.
I use the hybrid tramp/ghost Rx. It's awesome
Nice ending lol!!
intro == on-point
I’ve been out of the hobby for a couple of years due to work overseas and there seems to be so much new stuff. Could you do a video recap of the biggest innovations and trends?
Just buy a set of round leatherworking punches to make holes for screw access in battery pads, it’s such an easy solution :)
that last part : joshu what did u take u probably in ur backyard xd
That’s it! I am building another drone after saying I was done!!!
I agree at the beginning lol I felt the same way lol
Wait, people _don't_ like the red electrical tape? That's an odd thing to complain about. I think it looks good! Also it's your build, do what you want!
If you aren't using the blue TELEM wire, then why couldn't you have connected the green Serial wire to T3 instead of running it all the way across the board to T2?
Yeah. Umm. That would have been pretty smart. I didn't think to use T3 because it's normally used for SmartAudio and so my mind just sort of blocked it out.
Joshua you forgot to put on bubby's spoiler! 😂 A pink spoiler gives 50% more power
Hope i will see such a spoiler your's next time :)
I will bring one for you at rampage Bardwell, it’ll give ya flying powere
It really is the secret to flow
@@BubbyFPV and the secret to speed! Take also another one with you for vanover!
Best Blair witch ever.
Nice! What about a video making one for long-range? Thanks!
Dude, I wanna see you fly this thing already.
Nice!
@Joshua Bardwell those battery pads were so shiny i could literally see your face in them! Especially the positive one xD
I understand that Nurk also used a connector from esc to motor which he says saves motors and esc from burning up in a hard crash due to the disconnect on impact.
When using these connectors, you could have soldered the wires from the underside of the esc where the cables go under the esc so you don't have them hanging around outside
When will you do your perfect freestyle build?
Omg that tip about plugging the empty connector in... So obvious but, dang. Have definitely been super frustrated at myself before for doing it backwards. And then the connection is never as good when you fix it
One tip, if you use those connectors for motors - mark the ESC connector part that the top will always be the top. When you rotate it I when replacing the arm you will change the motor direction spin.
The connectors are keyed so you can't plug them in backwards.
Thx for the info. I had to had cheaper ones couse mine did not have those keys :)
I think the redux ESC look- and specwise is like a Successor to the Lumenier Mini Razor Pro 4in1 20x20 F3 ESC that i am flying since september last year. I only managed to kill one of them out of my pack of racers so far.... pretty damn robust with the full size Fets.
I also added 15 x 100uF Ceramic capacitors to the two solder rails on the bottom of the mini razor.
Hard core focus
Please do the same build but with a Caddx Vista and let's see if you get better or worse times. Analog= lightweight/fuzzy. Digital= heavyweight/clarity. I wonder if seeing better will make up for the weight difference. My guess is that digital will give you better times even with the extra weight. Personally I feel that digital allows for me to see further into the future. Fly Great!
I killed a redux ESC and I never ever kill ESCs - the layers split very easily. Prob just a one-off - Great frame BTW!!
You win👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice built, would love to see you fly it! ¶ :-)
I'd cut the gummy to the shape of the base plate and drill apertures so I can see the screws with paint or thin cut tape to see if the screws are walking out.
Josh! I know you get unwanted advice about how you build all the time, and I'm probably not even the first to mention this so I am sorry! When you are soldering at 21:33 you really should let the whole mass of solder come back up to temperature & become liquid again before you let off the heat. That seam between where it re-flowed and where it stayed solid is a cold joint and can crack.
Love ya bud, I think you have the best drone content in the business
Where can i get your awesome red electrical tape? 😆 My tape does feel a little bit darker redish 😂😅 Electrical tape for the win! I even slap a gps unit on the arm of the Kwad with it 😂😂🤣
I like the red tape... means JB is in the air... lol
1. Buy expensive gear
2. Let it sit around until something else better comes out
3. Repeat
You mean FLY IT until something else better comes out?
@@ValFPV did he stutters?
It came out nice and if u need to change the direction of the motor now with m90 u dont need to dissolder just unplug and turn it and plug it again and that that cool.
It's keyed. You don't plug it in the wrong way. The motor always spins the right direction.
@@JoshuaBardwell oh ok thank u for letting me know.
Great vid. Cant you sell a kit with everything in it? Or recommend a completed kit with receiver and goggles radio so you can set up and fly as a beginner
Nice build Joshua, thx for sharing it! how about the weight of the drone, could you please tell us? thx!
Evan Turner hangs to the left...therefore I shall hang to the left. Savage
Solder God
Flux is your best friend!
Awesome build, this frame is built like a flippin tank. I would be a little concerned about the ESC wires running directly over the gyro. Not twisting them and running them underneath the FC might be better. Also, the amount of solder for the motor and battery leads is a little excessive. Less is actually better, electricly and mechanicly. I, too, used to leave some slack in the motor wires but ended up never using it (I'm using race wire) so I switched to cutting them short.
Haha, Snorkl from the past was right for once. ua-cam.com/video/CUZmU6lDy1s/v-deo.html
Twisting the motor wires may help reduce EMF radiation. A ferrite ring over them will help further.
