Lol i was building my first drone, practically, unknowingly identical to this one, got stuck and ran into this vid, man how many questions it answered was insane. Thx bro

I'm relatively new to the quad building hobby but not a stranger to electronics, as I started back in the days repairing TV's and other things. I've entered the hobby with F330 and F450 flamewheel frames with CC3D and so on... seen countless, countless build videos, kids waving soldering irons and hex drivers all over the place and I can say, this must be the cleanest, neatest and tidiest build I saw(without fancy cuts, camera angles and the drama)!!!! I can only congratulate you and wish you happy building and flying!!!! Well done!!!

The length of the video, quality and cuts are amazing. Every beginners dream.

Man your cable management and builds are so clean. I look forward to seeing your next build video. Definitely copying some of your builds myself.

I like the way you use a zip tie to support the antennas, very slick

this may be the best build video on youtube, and trust me I've seen a LOT of build videos.

Amazing build. It's incredible how you manage to get your builds this clean 🤯

the best and clean built i ever saw

oh my god that clamp and tweezers idea for holding down the button is AMAZING i also have trouble doing that (which is why i usually look for flight controllers that power the receiver from usb) ill be using that idea next time i have to bind a small receiver

This video is so under viewed. I bought most of the components you used for my first build just today. I have an RTF arris x220 right now and I want a 6s for my first self built. I love how clean this is and your instructions are both easy to follow and dense with helpful information.

We all thank you for rotor builds!!!! I usually fly 6S HD (DJI) , and I am going to do this build , just to do it!! Only difference is my camera is newer, and I am going to use a TBS 69...

AFTER i ordered my parts for my first 5” build, i come across this video and the parts list are almost identical, minus the flight controller (iflight succex e f407 stack) and powered by 4S… parts arrived today and ill be building soon, using this to follow along with. If it works out as expected, I owe it to the folks like yourself, and the heavy hitters in this hobby to document the effort as a true beginner 🤞🏼👍🏽

I am building with the same motors and frame!! I just randomly stumbled on this vid lol

Well done...a full build vid in 13 minutes. And RotorBuilds???? Damn. Thanks!

Watched this from beginning to end! Great job man.

Dope video bro - appreciate you making this for everyone!

very informative & easy to watch & understand thanks. Jon&Denise

Awesome! Building this frame almost exact parts just different motors, needed some help with camera mounting and you solved it. Also I’m running 4s batteries.

This is so clean. Nice job man. Will be building this in a 4s version asap :D

Really enjoyed your build. Great!

Great video. I've built a bunch of drones before, but I came here hoping to find out where the Source One sandwich plate went (top/bottom) and you answered it! You have an excellent style in the way you present this build. Love it! And a great looking build that rivals or surpasses my Rotor Riot friends here in Orlando who I fly with sometimes (Drew let me fly his quad! What was he thinking lol). And I will think of Mr. Whiffles everytime I bind an XM+! Great tip. I paused at that tip to write this and subscribe immediately hehheh. Well done.

Whiffles, thanks for this awesome resource. I have your video up in one tab and the RotorBuilds guide in another. I'm using some different components than what you have spec'ed but close enough for me to follow along!

Excellent! This will be my next build. Thanks for having the write-up on Rotor Builds also.

Fantastic video mate, great editing also. :)

Thank you! I am building my first source one quad and I want to shout out to you for this diy video.

The v3 is also wider on the other end. It always broke on the v2. So far, I had many crashes on the v3, I haven't broken any arms yet.

Great work for drone

So dope. Thank you so much! Building my first racequad and used this as a reference.

great vid bro and I've subscribed! and I don't know why I haven't found you years ago? As I've found all the other guys that are popular? You are now in thwe popular list ...lol great to know your channel bro, and loved your step by step build wow!!...:)

Hi wiffles I’m a new subscriber from Australia 🇦🇺 and loved that build video... great to find new FPV dudes... 🤙👍

Nice Build. Made my own a Month ago with same Parts Exept motors and reciever. Took the r-xsr and the xing 1800kv

am about to build a drone so this is very useful thank you

Ive been flying drones fot a few years now and im considering building my first drone . I also want to take my HS 150 Bolt Bee and put it on a different frame that way i can use normal lipo batterys instead of looking for battery packs for it

I´ve just ordered a tbs source one bundle/kit. It has hobbywing xrotor fc and esc, and unify vtx. This will be my first build, and I find this video very helpful, thank you :) Even if its not the same components as you, I guess it will be about the same procedure. I am going to use the unify mounting board though :)

Literally the first video I found online that shows how to build a fpv drone. All the others are just talking without saying anything.

Very good video ! About to build the same setup, very glad I can count on your video to help my newbie *ss ! ^^ Thank you !

This build is too satisfying lol

very nice work

Made myself a build 6S with the same frame 2 weeks ago :) Went with a black and red color scheme!

Thumbs up.......as always.

Very nice clean build 👌🏼

Very nice and neat build.

Great video! Thank you!

Dude sweet build, great video you really explain it and camera you can see details of what you doing. I just got this frame but like you components your using.

built this and fried my vtx on first plug in. one part melted right through the plastic shrink wrap it has on it. I have no idea what to do but I suppose these puzzles come with the hobby xD everything else went great and I love this set up. Just gotta get mine finished and working.

Awesome video, very clean build and very didactic. thanks

Dude, your builds beautiful. And WTH is that mini-screw driver called? I'm ordering one ASAP

Wow man

Very helpful! Thanks for the info ✌️

very perfect build

Nice and easy build video!!!

Well done sir..

Has someone tested the video feed range with this vtx/antenna setup? Anyways, awesome build with great selection of components!

nice and clear build! I did the same trick like you with receiver antennas using shrink tubes but for me it reduced range of my drone like a hell :/

Superb video man. Din know you're the guy who made Rotor Builds until now. Really nice!! Ive been following it for quite few months now. And I'm planning to build the same one except for the vtx which im planning to use a dji air unit. Is is okay if i remove the middle-rear stand-offs to fit it in.

Hey! I have absolutely 0 experience with pid tunes, and have no clue what you meant when you said "betaflight reccommends you drop the p and d term about 30% for this build" is there somewhere that the betaflight devs give a reccommended pid tune for specific voltages? I just build the source one in 7 inch and def need a pid tune but dunno wtf im doing sooo.. any tips?

Great build once again

Awesome build! Do you think it could be modified a little bit for longer flight times and ranges?

How you install the tbs unify antenna in the back?

Very helpful! Thanks!

i have never seen a short but good review thanks for the helpful informtaions but can you please tell me how much do you spend and maybe make a video for a cheaper drone

you make such good videos

What is the difference between the Kakute stack and the diatone Mamba stack? Both have a 4 in 1 40 A ESC and an F4 FC but the Kakute is like double the price? What makes the Kakute that much more expensive?

Are there any cheaper options for flight controllers/esc stacks that would work well with this?

@Whiffles And where to get such auto screwdriver? :) Thx!

Amazing build!! I had a question could I use the xing 2207 motors instead of these and would it work?

What electric screwdriver are you using? Love the video!! Very informative sir!

Wow I didn't know you're RotorBuilds dev! Question: Do you know if the props are visible on GoPro Session 5 with 25deg angle? Because it seems like the arms are a bit pointed towards the front.

Would you be able to use the Xilo stax combo for this build instead?

Was there a reason why you didnt power the camera from the VTX? I understand that the FC has power pads for the cam, but is it filtered on the Kakute? I thought that the TBS unify had filtered power for the cam, but now Im not sure. I know that the Nano has an LC filter, but there isnt much info about the big boys.

Hi, would you find link of a GoPro mount? Looks nice soft and good protection of lens. I cant find it on Thingiverse :( Thank you

What screwdriver you use??

hello , I started making a DJI drone from the beginning, I bought a case from DJI mavic 2 zoom without electronics and motors, I don't use original electronics from dji mavic, I have problems calibrating some sensors with this Flight Controller , or you have an idea what flight control electronics to use, butmust having sensors proximity?

Are the longer screws used to fix the stack included in the frame?

What size paracord did you use for your motor wires and what size capacitor did you use? was it 1000uF Caps?

Where can i find these countersunk washers? They look awesome

was following bardwells build video and sourced slightly cheaper components. ran across your video when putting together the tbs frame. we basically have the same build except for the motors. question. what does the capacitor do on the esc? some builds i have watched they do not include an extra capacitor. thanks for the info

Hey, can I add a spektrum receiver in this instead? I only have a DX6e atm.

Where do I get that micro drill?

Can this quad fly fast? Do you know what's the quad's max speed? I saw the flight footage and it was smooth, but I'm interested in high speeds. Thank you!

Damn frame keeps selling out!

Why do drones have capacitors on the battery line? Is that to help managing power demand peaks?

I would love to start getting into this hobby. Where should I start to begin understanding all that I need to start?

Hey non-drone question. Where did you get the “grid design” table cover?

Great Video!

What is the electric screwdriver you are using?

Can you get a GoPro session mount for this quad

Really helpful video, thanks... sorry if you've already been asked but where did you get the blue countersunk washers from? Really nice touch

I have a 30 x 30 Vtx is there enough room to mount it on the main stack with fc and esc?

Why you have to add compasitor ?

Awesome video do you build drones for people by any chance?

nice vid my boy

where did you get the screwdriver? and the blue tag?

Nice. I like your website too.

great build, what’s the cost and do you think i could make it with a longer range? i am newer to this so i don’t know what works together etc.

Great workmanship! Nice to see. How are you liking that screwdriver?

Whiffles : I really liked your build video and decided to make one just like it. I ordered all he parts but made a mistake and got 1900 kw Motors. I have a lot of s4s , no s6s and my chargers won't do a s6.. The manufacturer says the motor is good for 3-6s. What adjustments do I have to make to the setup to use s4s and how will it effect the performance.

Hey man! Great video. Can you share the PIDs you are using in the maiden flight or in case you made any changes the resulting ones? Thanks so much!

What capacitor are u using and can u use them for any 6s built?

the xt60 wire is not too thin for 6s?
