everything 404. Is there a newer version?

Joshua Bardwell hey buddy. This was my first build in 2020 and it was analog also I wanted to say thank you for all you do for us in this awesome hobby,by the way,this hobby keeps me sober and sane thanks again Joshua ✌️✌️👏👏

"A little bit of trouble" installing the arms is a huge understatement. It took me about 40 tries and 30 minutes as well as 9 popped press nuts to screw down the last wedge for the arms. I was in constant fear of destroying the frame and even stripped the beginning of the press nut thread. The only thing that finally made it work was to not install it like shown in the video, but to install the wedge with ONE arm (don't tighten the screw yet) and then slide in the last arm, then tighten the screw. This was waaaay easier and without the danger of destroying anything.

Dude I have gotten so much information from you for free I feel like I owe it to you to buy one of your frames and build this. Big thanks to you for info you give us. You da man.

Incredible content, can’t wait to build one of these! You are a lifesaver for those of us who have no idea where to start in this hobby

You are a friggin' modern day legend, my friend. A true revolutionist!!!!

Thank you Joshua Bardwell for helping us create another great beginner DIY kit for the FPV community! We are very excited and can't wait to get all of you flying!!

honestly the hardest part of this whole thing was getting the xt60 soldered up, but this tutorial was top notch. you got my first kwad in the air thank you so much!

I want to echo everyone on here…. THIS CHANNEL IS GOLD. I just ordered my kit and am watching the build a few times before I try it on my own. SUPER EXCITED TO TRY!

I have been trying to get into FPV for the longest time but I just did not know where to start. I was going to go with a pre built but I really did not feel like that was the right thing. When this kit came out I knew this was the perfect way to get into FPV. I would like to thank you so so so much for making this kit!

When soldering XT60 or anyother connector made of plastic, it is a good pratice to have the male and female ends connected together, so that if the plastic is heated up too much it doesn't warp.

You almost had me convinced to start ordering parts to build a freestyle FPV quad because I tried very hard not to crash. My TANQ2 5” that have only had for about a week and a half and I really wanted a tank S but it’s out of stock so I considered building one, but I really don’t know if my big fat uncoordinated fingers can do the soldering but I am going to watch your soldering tutorial and try to find something to practice on because I know that I’m going to start breaking it when I start flying low. At the moment, I am just practicing tricks probably 20 to 100 feet off the ground and over mostly grass. Once I get better with my throttle control and pitch so that I can maintain altitude and I start rolling and flipping and yawing at lower altitude I know I will start smashing stuff. Your videos are amazing thank you so much. Keep up the good work!

Dude you are so right about the fact that eventually we will build. I was sure I would never build one when I started. I got this a few months ago and I absolutely love it. Thank you so much

I remember spending days doing repairs, literally, after every flight because I never landed, always crashed. I've gone on to build my own quads an wouldn't have it any other way. I actually land much more often than crash, now. Flying has become less stressful, more enjoyable. Thank you, Mr Bardwell, for all you contribute. I, for one, wouldn't enjoy the hobby if it hadn't been for the information and expertise you continue to share. Couldn't help but watch the build, makes me itch to build another.

your V1 of this kit is what got me started and i have to thank you so so much for making this kit. It served very well and I STILL use the stack 1year and 8 months later. 10/10 will recommend this kit to beginner who dont mind building!

I never built the JB kit...being on a super budget 1 year ago when i first got into FPV, I challenged myself to put together a kit that would come in under the price of the kit, and if that didnt work out, I'd make a beeline for the kit. Well, I came in at around $30 under, and pulled the trigger on my parts selection (The JB kit was likely better quality, but nonetheless, i was still challenging myself and wanted to put those few dollars elsewhere). While i didn't have the kit, I did have these videos (the first tutorial). . . and followed along as best as I could to recreate what was done. This footage is so well thought out and put together ,the education we get is everything we need to get started. I still come back to these now and again to maybe see if i can do something better in my build, neaten something up, pick up a tip or 2, and always learn. 10 builds in 1 year, with about 7 full RE-Builds, there is always something to learn 'today'... Thanks, JB.

I just smashed a whole hour of this, very addictive, I'm getting more and more into it and the way you explained is fantastic!

18:00 min "Check your ESC soldering job" I built the first kit. Fried the ESC by one strand of wire between two pads! Only found it after taking a pic with my phone and zooming in on the ESC. Now I do that after soldering job. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks for all the information you provide along with your unboxings and tutorial vids JB! Always appreciated!

I bought a bag of tiny o rings from iflight a couple years ago and i always use those for space in my stack

I am thinking this might just be my first build project. Loved all the pointers. I fly a DJI Air 2 S and have tried a DJI FPV. Thinking I like the smaller lightweight maneuverability and repair ability of a self build. Great series. My wife even watched with me as I streamed in to my big screen.😃👍🏼

This is a really good kit actually just like my daily driver minus the fpvcycle 25mm motors

Gummies = grommets Not a critique, but if anyone is looking to snag some more from the various places that sell them, it helps to know what they'll call them. Enjoying the vids, cheers !

As a beginner to this world and infact a big fricken gorilla...I appreciate this video so much!!! Thank you so much for you willingness to share your knowledge!!! !

Thank you Josh! You and your videos are both so AWESOME!!!

Joshua really knows how to make someone scared to solder

NEW to this hobby? You found the rite place! SUBSCRIBE And bookmark. You will find just about everything you need from this guy! Why I watch these every year? It's entertaining that it is a new video, but it is the same as previous years. I almost have the script down pat. And yet, I sit and watch. The little bits of knowledge givin cant be heard to many times. THANK YOU JB!!!!!!

Watched dang near every video you have ever made. I know a lot more than I thought over the years and still have not built a drone. But this is a great video as anyone can watch this and feel confident in building. Great video as always JB!

For xt60s and bt2.0 connectors, ROUND is GROUND

A receiver that's listening vs a transmitter that's shouting. Well said.

Love your humor 😂 Thanks for the video ❤

I have been waffling about what kind of drone I want to get, Been looking at a lot of DJI drones, you have just about convinced me this would be the best path, building it so I can learn, and be able to repair a drone.

I’ve watching your videos for a bit now while trying to decide to get into the hobby! I think this is the kit for me to get started!!

18:25 the very best case scenario is that the short between wires draws enough current and the quad just shuts down or esc temperature protection kicks in also if there are like 1-3 strands shorting the battery probably has enough power to burn the strands (also very best case scenario)

Always love build videos! They are the only reason I got flying!

The build looks easy. The soldering is right up my alley. But man the programming is going to challange the IT guys.

Picked one up last night. First build and perfectly timed! I was legit researching parts to build one.

An easy test for shorted motor wires. Spin all 4 motors by hand if they don't spin free they are shorted.

Just order this drone! Can’t wait to get it! I learned to fly on a DJI fpv and I am pumped to get this! This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

Holy crap, this is absolutely a great deal. I’ve been flying your frame since it came out and it’s solid af.

Thanks for the Video JB, now I will dive deeper into FPV World.

I'd recognise those blue snips anywhere! Nice cameo.

This video was amazing … best instructional video ever

the JB QAV-S frame is my 5" freestyle frame of choice (2 identical builds that are my main bashers). great start for anyone building as a beginner!

Thank you for your tutorials, sir. They helps a lot, and I love them.

One of the only guys that can keep my attention for an hour and make me rewind and rewatch certain parts lol my bday is next month and I think I'm grabbing this quad for sure🤗 Been wanting to build my first quad for awhile and just haven't had the chance to but I'm pulling the trigger on this one! 🤌🏽✌🏽

Excellent build, Joshua! Thanks!!! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I've built two of these frames and some things I would do is: (1) label the hardware. You can pretty much tell which screws to use where but having the packs labeled would be cool. (2) After crashing one and totally breaking one arm and putting a hairline crack in another, I replaced them with the design that has the Y configuration at the end. I think they should be the default arms. Maybe toss in some long M2 screw with locking nylon insert nuts if the builder is going to mount a Vista unit? I also noticed on one frame the press nut turns in the frame. Other than that, it's a solid frame. I bought a bunch of extra arms because I'm sure I'll beat it to death.

Tip with zipties. If you dont want it to Wrap completely around and look like crap, You can do that pull through method, and then clip the eyelets off 4 extra zipties, and put them down onto the zipties you pulled through, almost like nuts on bolts. If you follow my description..

Another one 🤣 with your channel about 2 years or more ago, I was able to successfully build an iflight F7 twing bt, 45 or 50A 4in1. Can't remember the frame but was iflight. Thing was bad ass! Thanks to you! Actually thinking about breaking it back out and now with modeling and printing skills. Do myself a lil remix 🤫🤫

Probably should have waited at least a few more days but I already ordered it due to anxiety about how long it'll stay in stock. =) I am excited!

Very very clear tutorial thank you brother ❤

Omg thank you for actually using flux lol, so many people go in dry

I haven't been very well today, Joshua... So it's a perfect day for a long building video. Thanks!

I just bought this mainly because I appreciate all the information you share with the community. Hope you get a nice cut. Can't wait to build it 🙂

Yep this is where I’m at, although I have a sick quad but I want to build just to learn exactly how to fix and what I am doing. I can’t stand not knowing! Thanks JB wish you lived in NY so we could fly!

omg i've been lookin for shit like this for 3 days mannn

Came across your videos and WOW great job explaining everything. You go over it all in detail and take the time to explain it. It doesn't all have to be a secret and you make me want to build one of my own. Many thanks.

I will be buying one this evening, thanks for putting this together

Thanks 🙏🏼 Joshua . I have a Mavic ( 2016 ) . I’m learning a lot from your videos 🙏🏼

dang it Mr. Bardwell looks like im going to have to mow a lot of lawns this summer because I got to have this

Started watching this and will have to finish vid once at work hehe. I'm sooooo happy your offering this in a analog version!! This may be my first 6s quad. I really like what I was seeing. 🤜

I wish I seen this sooner. Just bought the avata

12:19 He really meant to say 22mm screws. Not the 16mm. The 16 were used to hold the arms to the airframe

the smart way to install your racing drone nice...

I must mention you should be using a small fan, as you breathe in a ton of leaded solder fumes @21:39

After building the first JB kit as my first and then 5 other quads I realized JBs kits is very well 0ut together. I'd build This one too if I could.

I hope those 5 tutorial videos are all I'm going to need. I guess I'm not surprised it didn't come with a physical instruction book or a simple disc that I could pop in my computer. The DJI/FPV didn't come with one either. I had to search or a PDF on it.

I good way to mount the capacitor is as close as possible to the Circuit, Anyway nice build thank you for sharing. 👍🏻

Got this bad boy kit under my tree right now! Its been hard to not dig into it and remain married.

Appreciate the tutorial, I've always wanted and fpv set up and I think I've finally decided to make the jump. It might be a few months, I want to try and learn as much as I can before I start purchasing hardware, but this video was nice to see what would be involved in the physical assembly. I'm more concerned about the software part of it. This little kit is high on my list thus far, thanks for the content Josh

thanks for your beginer low badget quad brushless info

thanks JB. I just built my first Quad...this is perfect timing. Can't wait for the next segment which is confusing me a bit.

You should probably use purple loctite its made for 2mm-6mm

Nice build

You also recommend a soldering kit in the past, when you do a new build would nice if you added that link, I know us newbies can be a pain in the ass..😀 thanks, as a Patreon I really enjoy your videos, even though many are over my head, but in time. You are right ( “ you will learn something today”.) its a true statement….

Hi Joshua Brardwell,am so greatful for all the videos,they are so profitable in a way that they provide all the needed information for pipo who do fpv,and i surely belive that these videos are the only videos fpv racers need,they made mi fall in love with fpv,though i cant afford one,but i wish i could get one so i can start fpv too🥺

Loved your first kit, really got me into and confident in FPV and building. And your accompanying build video is gold. Keep it up!!

Awesome build Josh, another good tip on soldering, at least the way I've learned is, find yourself an old radio or electronic device and practice soldering on that so you won't ruin your part's like I have done. Thanks Josh for all you do my friend...

nice to have the option for a 20 or 30

Wow very thorough, you explain things so well, think I might make one of these builds!! 😬

I bult the V1 kit and this kit is great... I'm still jammin' with mine and I've built a few more since then... this kit is nice... I went with HD version... there is no easier way to get into building quadcopter's...

:38 seconds in and he calls me out. Your gonna buy an FPV ready to fly your gonna break it and you are gonna need to fix it...which is exactly what happen to me LOL GGs good sir GGs

New to fpv. I've been watching your videos for a few months, flying a cetus pro, and I'm ready to do my first build. Only problem... all the new sets of goggles coming out. I do not want to invest into goggles that will be outdated soon. I'm hoping you make a HDzero kit for the new goggles in the future. Love your videos!

Thank you for explaining everything. Very useful

Awesome video. Can you do a tutorial on going from analog video to digital video?

Looks great! The v1 kit got me started and was great....this is also why my JB QAV-S frame has been on backorder forever haha.

I saw you fighting the temptation of using the red electrical tape. 🤣

Very cool. Wish you had done this 2 months before... I wouldn't have bought the Sector 5D...

Hi Joshua i see a little solder ball on one of the esc IC (18:34) this is dangerous if its rollin down to the pcb and make a shaortage better to make it away...

Very nice build video JB.

Thanks for this!! I ordered the HD today. I cant think of a better way of learning something. I live in the same area as Getfpv, I should of asked to pick it up in person.

Thanks!

love watching your videos and the information they give .... just wish you'd say 'solder' and not 'sodder' ... yes i am strange AND British

I love this frame, I appreciate the improvements over the split top plate of the regular QAV-S and the slight slam design and micro camera mount. I am, however, a pretty bummed that the frame and parts have been out of stock for a good while, but now the only thing in stock are these kits or RTF builds almost as if they have been hoarding them to make the kits and make the sale, kinda bogus. I need a replacement frame and I cannot get one. it's been so long, I am considering just switching out of spite.

Hey Josh, I am just discovering this hobby and you are keeping me very interested. Just wanted to take a minute to extend a sincere thank you. Also, I noticed that you use "wire harness tape". I am not sure what that is, but it looks a heck of a lot like Hockey Tape! I'm sure somebody (maybe even you in a video I have yet to watch) has pointed this out already, but maybe if its cheaper or easier to find in their area (Canada), you could let the viewers know! Keep up the great work! I look forward to one day actually following along with your build series! Calvin

the kit you put together is obviously a solid one, its always out of stock. i need a frame that will house the O3 unit, too bad no one shows that in their spec

Looking forward to building one. Need to practice my soldering though, my hands shake so this might be a bit of a nightmare lol.

3m VHB will work also but be careful as its extremely strong stuff
