Whhat?? You guys are too nice. Cheers man!

No way!! Really happy to hear that!

Thanks bro! Try it out! :D

Hey really glad you tried it and enjoyed it! Cheers!

Same here! I was having major issues with my quad, but after copying these numbers exactly it flies like a dream!

@@MusicMan9018 No way!! Happy to hear it improved!!

Thanks for testing. Hope there was no damage to your quad. Looking forward to your update.

Also looking forward to it!

Wait so you tried this config and it caused your drone to instantly fly away? Did you ever figure out why?

It sure is!

Glad to hear man!!! 👍

Poor Ralphie! 🤣😅

That would be amazing!

The subsequent shipments of flywoo will be extended version printouts

Will the Flywoo extended antenna be available to those of us who already purchased the O3 Explorer? I don't have a 3D printer so I can't make one myself.

@@DanielPeckham Ready to use, just need to replace the TPU print. At the same time, we will list replacement parts on the website.

@@flywoofpv I just bought one. Is that going to include this change? Thanks for listening to your users!

Thanks, keep us posted on your findings!

Which version fw did you flashed ? Newest ? 0.20 ?

@@tomasz.dermin i flashed 0.18. The latest in my list was 0.18.1

Is your drone still shakes under higher throttle?

For me it’s fine at high throttle, it’s just fighting with the winds is more of the issue, explorer flies great with wind it’s just finding that balance of useable footage in strong winds

Just forwarded an email - Shows that they are listening. Great stuff, thank you! :)

ah yes do the hack and also get the extended antenna mount. Both will get farther range together.

Its supposed to be soft mounted but if its too free floating then that will cause issues.

Check the support page on flywoo or email them

My 4 motors starderd spining 100% while i was wayting for gps fux when it was disarmd needed to pul battery out when it was upside down in the gras

Hi no I did not try

No I haven’t tried. Let me know how it goes :)

Hi sorry I’m not too sure, but yes just check you are in acro mode and not angle mode.

Some people have done it with good results. Just back up your profiles, then manually type in the numbers I posted and give it a try. Its not going to be a super game changer, but it will help as long as its not super windy. :)

Double check your ports tab. Serial RX needs to be switched on for the correct UART (check FC diagram on flywoo website of the plug) Also check make sure in receiver tab you have it set as SBUS. Also check all the firmware versions are up to date on O3, controller and goggles. If all fails please contact Flywoo support.

Sorry never replied this! Try the pids first without the filters, and do a careful hover test line of sight in angle mode in case of fly away and have finger on disarm button. but should be totally fine!

Hey thanks man! Actually I haven't tried yet but when I do I will post something. Thanks for watching!

Hi, yes I followed the same instructions (core only) and uploaded their cli dump to make it work. Their tune is revised from the 4.3 version. Although I haven’t tried it, my friend said the new tune is great. Give it a try.

@@PattyFlipz Have you had a chance to try the upgrade to 4.4? I have updated to BF 4.4 using Flywoo's instructions using their CLI, and I'm wondering if your tune here in this video still applies.

@DanielPeckham hi I did switch over actually and it works fine so far.

Hey yeah I remember that caught me off guard too. But i really can’t remember which one. I just just went back and forth on each one until it worked, but also follow the instructions on the flywoo website by selecting “core only” etc.

Hi, the example of 25 would mean your initial idle speed when armed is at 2500rpm. Try spinning the motors with no props on at betaflight motor tab at 2500rpm. If your motors don’t spin smooth it’s not a good idea. 2500rpm works really good for 5” like 2207 or 2306 motors I found. I found 48 to be good cause it provided enough initial lift and if diving motors won’t feel overload at high rpm and cause desync symptom at a fast drop.

@@PattyFlipz - thank you .. yes indeed, i did some more reading and that value is for larger quads and for the size of the Explorer something around 40 seems better .. so +1 on your results - you got it right. I am still experiencing a lot of prop-wash on mine but i have not copied your tune (yet) as i am trying to understand what each value means first.

Awesome! It’s a lot of fun to just experiment and learn. I’m still learning as well. 👍

Hi, no problems so far as long as you set up correctly but theres many external factors as well and dangers in the flight..(eg: objects in front of your drone) Just make sure you have a good satellite lock count before taking off (7 is good) and don't fly near any radio towers (can mess up your home direction) and be ready to take control if you return home.

@@PattyFlipz thanks for your answer and great video that helps beginners!

Hi! No I havent tried yet. For me though, what I would do is, I screenshot all my changes on 4.3. Then after flashing 4.4, I manually adjust every parameter to match my screenshots. Takes a few minutes longer but at least no errors!

@@PattyFlipz Good idea, im not sure if it was some issue with cloud build, but I also tried full flash. Couldnt even calibrate accelerometer, ant all settings totally messed. Lucky I saved presets before 😅 I think I will also try add all cli commands that seems good and dont give error

Will try tomorrow I have time, would love to try new GPS fly to home 🙌 and updated angle mode (even if I now manage acro, thx to acro trainer mode)

I had trouble with a 4.4 flash as well with a different quad. gyro was not recognized. Im gonna just leave it for now and try again another day 🤣

@@VegaZ1980 Cool, keep me updated! :D

what do you mean by screaming? Do you have the "motor stop" on in Betaflight? When this is set the motors won't spin when armed

@@BiecherBender A continuous ESC loud sound probably to inform that the quad is armed. Did not change anything in BF 4.3.1. It is the stock tunes. Where is this setting? I armed in ANGLE mode and I have the AIRMODE in the same switch with ANGLE - AIR modes, disabled in ANGLE but enabled when I switch to AIR mode.

@@KostasGur its in the motors tab

@@KostasGur there is also a setting called air mode in the configuration tab, which should probably be turned on. This gives stability when you are in the air and turn throttle to 0. I think that this setting also overrides the motor stop setting, so if you have this on, motors should always spin, no matter what you have set for motors stop

@@BiecherBender thanks, yes I just read about airmode's behavior but usually in all my quads I have it disabled and enable it through aux channel in modes. Enabled each time I switch to acro mode but in angle which usually I use inside home where I tested the quad yesterday, just for hovering, airmode is disabled because it produces turbulence when you fly very close to the floor. I will try to arm the quad in acro mode with airmode enable to check the motors later today. Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi Alex, sorry Im not sure. You will have to ask flywoo. Also it will be very hard to fit o3 au in the back trunk. Check the size too because props might strike it.

@@PattyFlipz I have it mounted and it has already flown with the v2 frame with the dji o3 installed and it flies very well, the only thing that would interest me was having the tpu mount that this version has since I have it with a mount that I don't like very much and adjust the camera vibrations

You can check the flywoo support page. Sometimes they have stl files. If not when I have time I will see if I can design a o3 camera mount :) will update if I do

@@PattyFlipz hello. I talked to the flywoo support and they gave me the link of the stl, but the mount for the O3 is not there.

Just trying to understand you correctly. They gave you stl file for the camera? But are you also looking for a mount for the air unit box? If so, You may need to get an adapter to fit to the bottom, such as the aluminum one from newbeedrone where o3 screws into 25x25 holes and you can screw in 20x20 m2 into the aluminum bracket. Check fitment and spacing and dimensions though, its 3mm thick. For my explorer o3 frame it has 25x25 holes and flywoo just used 4mm/5mmish nylon stand offs and longer 1.6 screws right into the o3 unit. no prints for the air unit.

Hi no problem! M2 nylon nuts work for me I just give it a nice finger tight tug with the good ol pliers. Also they are lighter and not prone to adding more possible materials to short the electronics. But yes m2 metal nuts with nylon insert is just fine. I switched over to 4.4 and she flies fine. Pretty much the same just can land itself now which is so cool. Cheers

@@PattyFlipz thank you! do you have any infos about the new GPS Module with the 10 chip? I thought it should find satelites pretty fast, but for me its basically not faster then the old bn220 maybe even slower

Yeah, I am experiencing some issues too. honestly the first time I used it. It was blazing fast. Like by the time I got my goggles on my face it found 8 sats. Now it takes a few minutes to get a lock. Strange.

@@PattyFlipz Hi guys. Hi have EXACT same issue. First try of the GM10 mini was crazy fast fix and 24sats in flight. No I barely get 7-8 sats all the time, mostly 5-6. Veeeery frustrating

@@oliver51450 yeah totally sucks!!! :(

Hi, because of how light the quad is, there will always be a shaky picture through the goggles, especially with wind and at higher altitude. The stabilization only works for the video that is recorded in the memory card.

Yes I know that the stabilization don’t work during fly. I still love that quad. Thank you

I had the same issue here. I even opened the o3 and superglued the lens. Turned out I tightened 1 prop screw too much and it made a very thin crack on the prop screw hole. Almost not noticeble. Changed the prop and voilà.

@Guimaraes.Renato thanks for the tip. So true. Any small little thing can throw off the quad

Hi! Try checking your ESC's firmware and flashing 96PWM and see if it works for you. If it already has that, try bringing your I gain numbers like my tune. Around 90 ~ 100 numbers and arm stabilizers.

Oh forgot, and just double check your battery placement too for perfect center of gravity. I avoid toilet tank mounting style as well. I found the quad has more trouble during rolls if doing toilet tank mount style (I use roll a lot!)

@@PattyFlipz Thank you so much for the tips! I will check it out and see if it makes a difference :) Have a good weekend!

@@PattyFlipz Hey again, I tried Flashing Bluejay at 96 PWM instead of BLHeli_S and the motors wouldn't spin. Is there something I'm missing? Back to BLHeli_S now and it flies 🤷‍♂

@@drdrhelmut My esc already came flashed with Blue jay by Flywoo, so I'm not familiar on how to do it yet. I found this article, perhaps you can read it over and see if anything has been missed? oscarliang.com/bluejay-blheli-s/

Hi, theres probably some better / cooler chargers out there, but I just use a cheap one on amazon shown here: www.amazon.ca/Charger-Discharger-Balance-Battery-Chargers/dp/B07P3ZRTMY/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=2JVU3T7LR9MQM&keywords=lipo+charger&qid=1680749790&sprefix=lipo+charge%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQ1Q2OEZIWUVIN0ZaJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMDY5MTk3M1VCS043OUhNNDlFUCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMjU2MzUxMU5KOVVYOUZXMzdUQyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= It can do lihv, lipo etc.

@@PattyFlipz Thanks! I am just learning about this whole fpv drone thing and the help is always appreciated.

@@SwordTomato No problem man, any questions just msg anytime!

This is motor bench testing? Is it normal at first and then the motors go full spinning? Or is it full spinning 100% throttle right upon arming

hello Thnx for the fast reaction, the motors first spin normal and after you throttle it a little bit up de rpm goes to 100% and can't lower it back to 0% , this is with the props on and of i thought maybe it is the angle mode so i tried with the props on and off, tried to reset to 48khz and same problem. @@PattyFlipz

@moesi38 sorry not sure. Did you check to make sure all your escs are configured correctly and same version? All of them need to match in specs. If it spins 100% did it fly away?

@@PattyFlipz yes al got the same firmware, after resetting the flight controller everything is back to normal. (I hold my hand on top of the battery to prevent fly aways). I am on Btf 4.42 is this maybe the problem ?

@@KostasGur flywoo has them at 14... i wonder why.. I"ve just counted mine an they are indeed only 12.

Yes I'm not sure why either! Could be either a simple error or could be some magic trick for better efficiency or range (just guessing). Main thing is we do what we learned is correct and if it feels worse, revert back to their default tune I guess.

@@PattyFlipz who knows, I hope an error and not a magic trick for their tune.. Well I implemented yours and going for my maiden flight tomorrow 😁

@@KostasGur NICE!!! Looking forward to hearing how it went!!

Hi are you using BF4.4? Because I already switched to that. It's safest to screenshot the tune in my video and manually type it into your BF config. Only takes a few minutes. Also remember to do ESC config BlueJay 96khz. Thank you.

Hi! Great question. Sounds normal for explorer. Any sort of fast speed, wind will still shake these lightweight sub250g drones, so gyroflow or rocksteady is most likely required to smooth footage if you care about that. Not only is explorer lightweight, it is a dead cat frame which is designed to have no props in view and could effect performance and stability compared to an X. Did you try adding the stabilizers that attach to the arms? Or try my tune in one of my videos, but it might not solve all the issues.

@@PattyFlipz .. i found your video with your tune - looks awesome and i want to try it. In case i mess up, can i save / back up my settings (i am on BF 4.3.1) by going to the Presets tab and saving a preset, or should i go to CLI and save a text file with “diff all” or try the “dump” command? Is one better than the other and will it save my existing PID settings? Have not tried that before - thanks.

@@AZ-FPV Hi, for me personally I prefer going to CLI and typing diff all and saving your stuff before trying my settings. Yes It will save all your existing PID settings.

@@PattyFlipz - PERFECT .. thanks for confirming - i will try it .. since you have so many Explorers, can i ask you how many mAh do you fly when you use the 18650 Explorer Li-Ion 3000 mAh pack? Do you fly for example until you use 2500 mAh or until you are down to say, 3.25 volts per cell ?

@@PattyFlipz - also, UAV Tech recommends a linear (25) throttle setting .. i tried it but didn’t notice any difference (but that’s most likely because i am new to this)

Sometimes I get 0volt readings in the osd as well after a bad crash… just had to disconnect and reconnect power. Just checking as well, Did you register / activate the air unit on the DJI consumer virtual assistant and also did you try arming the quad yet? Arming the quad removes low power mode and enables regular power.

If those don’t work try reconnecting all the cables. Maybe a loose pin in the tx/rx

@@PattyFlipz hmm I did connect it to the DJI assistant to check for updates, but don't remember registering it. I'll look into that now!

@tylerbell4137 sorry I got it wrong, I think the word is activation, not registering. But yes take a look. And then arm the quad at home or something with no props and check for full o3 power. Hope it works out. 💪

@@PattyFlipz just tried, but I’m not asked to register / activate it 🤔 I think my next step is to take it apart to check the wiring.

The length is about 135mm

@@PattyFlipz one more question, what lenght cable need to be?

@6eatmaker oh which cable? The o3 camera?

@@PattyFlipz yes

@6eatmaker the standard cable that comes with the DJI o3 au is perfect. Sorry I don’t know the exact length but you can find it on the website

In bluejay esc configurator? Just make sure all the esc firmware match.
