    Be sure to check out the update on the AOS35 build where I tried to implement your suggestions: ua-cam.com/video/-DtdoL0nZLI/v-deo.html
    Thank you very much for your constructive tips, especially regarding the fact that I used too little flux when soldering.

    Bro, everything is fine, but for the soldering part, include more flux and the finish of the soldering should be round mirror finish, like you need to be able to see your face in it. cover more surface area as possible and immerse the wire conductor as much as possible into the solder.

      ​@@fpv-geekdude really, that solder was dry, it means you burned out all the flux that was in the tin, I would clean everything and do it from scratch, first I would use pasty flux and a desolating mesh to remove all the old tin, the most, I would clean it with isopropyl alcohol , I would apply the pasty flux and redo all the welding, believe me, the risk of short circuit or oxidation with this solder is much greater than doing the cleaning I mentioned and redoing the solder.

      I'm not very familiar with the DJI controller, but you won't need the ELRS receiver, and in Betaflight, you'll need to configure it to receive control signals from the air unit. By the way, this isn't a kit; I put these parts together based on my personal preferences. However, there are ready-made kits available for purchase.

    Flight time???

    • @fpv-geek
      @fpv-geek  2 місяці тому

      This depends on the type of flight. For cruising, you can expect around 8-10 minutes. For aggressive freestyle, it's about 5 minutes. With a larger battery, like 1300mAh or 1500mAh, you might get a bit more flight time, but I prefer using multiple batteries and swapping them out frequently.

      10m fligh time? Sounds very unrealistic

    • @fpv-geek

      After a few flights I can confirm that I reach a maximum of 3:30 in freestyle, more like 3m.
      If you only hover, then maybe 4-5m. But I never really tried to get the maximum out of it. (Both 1000-1100mah)
      but that's enough for me, I have no problem changing the battery more often.

      Otherwise, look for a Tinywhoop set. Like the Cetus X from BetaFPV. That's what I started with. I also have a crash compilation on my channel of this drone.
      Such sets are available for around 300-400€. They're all good for getting started in the hobby ☺
