Do you have a linear or cp antenna on it? And the reception you get similar?

@@NickBurnsFPV cp and the reception so far has been very good. I would like to test a little more around buildings. As far as park flying, it's been great.

lol sub 250? 6s? 5 inch? it should have 300km speed 🤪

I have a number of the eachine running. Hard to beat at the price but I have had two that either didn’t work at all or the SA didn’t work

yep. I tend to power my camera from the vtx as well. Makes the building easier and get some additional filtering.

oh man wouldn't that be something. I wonder how long the crystal ball will tell us that is?

I use double sided foam tape and sometime heatshrink to keep the components from touching and shorting.

The max output is on the thumbnail 350mw.

I am going to put it in another quad at some point and see what I find.

That input voltage is a limitation

oh the end of the flight. I think the flight ran another 2+ minutes. Pretty much everything we had seen in all the "laps" I was doing :)

Yeah, you'll find you do need another transmitter because Flysky just doesn't have the range and performance of other protocols. Lots of testing been done on that radio in the past years, so don't take me word for it, tests available on KZfaq. An ok beginner radio but seems like no one stays with Flysky after they've got some experience. Radiomaster TX16S would be my choice.

@@KOrnhOliO1 I was thinking tx12 as a more budget option. I don't think I'm ready yet to drop 200+ on a transmitter just yet. But yeah I've been feeling the range issue. I recently flashed bf 4.2.9 and was doing some test flights and had under 30rssi when I went to the front yard from the back. I could make it to the end of the yard next to me (on good terms with the neighbors) but as soon as the garage was in the way rssi went from like 40 to 20 and lower. On my mobula 6 though I get very good range or at least from what I've been flying. It's on 3.5.7 though and I've heard 3.5.7 is better with spi receivers. But honestly using my 2.5in and practicing dives on my chimney, the flysky reciever just about gets the job done

@@StuckOnAFireHydrant It's difficult for me to recommend any Jumper products. I just don't think the quality is there.

I think the origin might be french, just a common term used here to describe the road ending with a bit of a circle.

Ah yes that is true. My construction days are far behind me 🤣🤦‍♂️

Good pest info. We do have the house and yard sprayed pretty regularly.

Back when I started it was even worse. The receivers we use in goggles today are so much better, and the vtx can output far more power than a few years ago. :)

That is the 2-4s betafpv 20amp board. Mine is the v2

@@NickBurnsFPV You are the best. Did you add the outward facing motor plugins? If yes, where did you get the plugins?

@@mikelewis2269 No, at that time it came with the plugs already attached. I would check the packing contents, but often on these boards when they don't have connectors on them, they will include them. Exception being the new flywoo goku board. But if we can get a current image of the board if the solder pads have tiny little holes they will very likely include connectors with the board.

Yes, this is something that mystified me as well.

I haven't tried all of those. I have used the eachine nano a number of times, I though the hglrc 350mw slightly under performed, the tiny tank is pretty good. The namelessrc I thought really under performed. I would suggest trying the TBS unify pro32 nano, while I haven't tried one I have been told its very good. Although I find the tbs vtx a pain to unlock the higher power.

Those green worms are alien ants? Or did you see ants in the fpv before takeoff?

goggles are the same as I have been using for the last two years. Orqa goggles with rapidfire and 1 truerc and 1 axii antenna. Quad has a linear antenna on it.

Yea, I can't answer why that is. They did give me a coupon for 8% off, almost like they know its become more expensive. I will be putting that coupon next to the BG links until the end of the year.

They've been more expensive for about 6 months, maybe a little longer. I used to buy all the time from them when they were easy less expensive and I needed several things, but weren't in a super hurry to get it. I think it all has to do with the tariffs and t-RUMP wanting to tax everything coming in from China. It started out with Banggood kinda absorbing most of the increases. Then they were about the same price as RDQ, Pyrodrone, GetFPV, etc. Now I think the chip shortages and the general raising of prices, even though the product doesn't use chips that have a shortage. Companies seem to take advantage of these general price increases even though their products may not have needed to have their prices increased because their costs increased. It's a shame EVERYTHING seems to have to go up and not the actual items that had their costs increase. Now Banggood is simply not competitive with USA local stores. Way higher on everything. I don't even price shop them anymore! I haven't bought from them for a long time. Course, when I first decided I was going DJI digital, I made myself not buy ANYTHING analog that cost very much, because I have so many analog quads and so many parts. Many don't get flown nearly as often any more. I've kinda adopted the theory of "fly what ya got" and don't buy any new quads or parts if you've got that part on some quad I hardly ever fly. Just rob it off that quad and onto the new one it goes. lol 😎🤘

@@KOrnhOliO1 yeah for sure. Sucks because they were my go-to. Oh well

Sure Dji has great range and clarity but not so weigh friendly..especially for micros

@@NickBurnsFPV Totally agree, I wish there was a mini version that was good enough and weighs less but no luck probably anytime soon! Mainly fly 3 inch but smaller makes it really heavy with DJI!

That is an option, not one I have run.

This is the only place I have seen it, but its out of stock pyrodrone.com/products/toothpick-by-apic-racing

@@NickBurnsFPV Oh thank you, I subscribed to the notification service of pyrodone

well, the build in this video wasn't so much a targeted build rather just building for fun with parts on hand. The 20amp esc isn't needed with the 1103 motors, which are different from the 1102 motors on the starlord.

Likely best for a 2s whoop but if we have a 1s 65mm and we need the vtx mw it is an option but not for racing. That gram can mean a lot on a 20gram racing whoop

Surprised to find pyrodrone has those in stock. I look for them a week ago. :)

@@NickBurnsFPV Great.👍🏻 TBS claims 500mW+ but unless you are flying in ice cold air they heat up and you won't exceed that for long.

@@changeagent228 yeah, and when Diatone starting sticking those in their quads I found I had to remove a couple because they're give funky performance so close to all of the other components. I was disappointed in the amount of fuzz they were giving me. I'll have to pull those out of my drawer and use them in something that has some space to isolate it.

@@KOrnhOliO1 Yeah they get way too toasty to sandwich in. Not had any issues with fuzz I only have image issues when I don't use at least 470uF low ESR capacitors or I place my crossfire antenna too close to my VTX antenna.

Yes, I believe that is correct.

There are options when we build to have an AIO without vtx. Or if the vtx on an AIO were to die we could add this rather than replace the AIO.

@@NickBurnsFPV where can I find how to do this?

@@motome8 We need to look for a wire map of the board, we can often find these on the manufactures website. We would need to located 5v, ground, video out and a tx pad to solder the wires from the vtx to.

I do want to test one of those. They seem to be pretty rare right now.

@@NickBurnsFPV Yeah, shortages everywhere. But I do hope we can come up with an open HD format some day that's actually feasible enough for the manufacturers to pick up like they picked the ELRS 😁

@@pirateradioFPV Yes, I hope so as well.

An rf meter will give us the power output. They are hard to get a hold of right now. Try different antenna, also penetration is very dependent on environment and interference. Try flying raceband 8, that frequency is above wifi which could help some.

@@NickBurnsFPV very interesting. im pretty sure mads,joshua etc. were suggesting RB 1 as they say its strongest; but you suggest 8 in context of interference i guess 🤔 ok. tanks!

@@alperenozgur That is true RB1 will emit slightly stronger signal, on some vtx the margin is stronger. but its within wifi interference, if we are out away from wifi RB1 is a good choice as well.

@@NickBurnsFPV Thank you so much!

I understand the legality of running 25mw, but testing 25mw isn't something done much anymore.

@@NickBurnsFPV it is I to the fact that it would be more informative to indicate the power in the test

What are the legal companies?

@@NickBurnsFPV Tbs, Rush fpv and immersionrc

@@itaysteklov1241 Interesting. I had not thought about companies needing certification/permission in some locations.

@@NickBurnsFPV it's not that it's illegal over here, it's that it's illegal to specifically race with it. You can use it and stuff just not in an official race. Sorry for not being clear😅

@@itaysteklov1241 ah, so the race organizing body has found issues with other vtx? Or they have successfully tested what they allow?

I often turn to the eachine nano vtx, its dirt cheap, been around awhile and 400mw.

I have used the eachine a number of times, the obstruction (behind the houses) isn't as good as this, but yes the eachine does have better clairity when in LOS.

@@NickBurnsFPV Horses for courses my friend🤠

Surely not. Are you pulling my leg?

@@NickBurnsFPV Never Nick...the truth is out there.
