Joshua, you mention the little holes in the pads being difficult to deal with in terms of soldering. I use T-Motor ESCs on my quads and they all have that sort of pad design. The way that I learned to get around the solder seeping through to the other side is to use some masking tape on the backside to cover the hole while soldering. I use blue 3M tape and have had no issues. Just a tip if you care.

HEYYYY that is my Apex and Vista antenna mount design! :-) I am happy you like it. I have had the exact same issue as you, just a few months earlier. This mount has held up really well and also allows the antenna to flex just enough not to get damaged. Just one tip: apply a little blob of CA glue on the Vista antenna tube and the circular antenna casing. I noticed that seems to get loose over time.

Great summary at the end. I almost exclusively fly KISS/FETTEC, but it’s not because it has some magic that makes it immensely better than anything else. For me, it just always works to get the result I want with minimal effort, whereas with other systems I found I was unable to get there without a lot of tuning effort. For other people, the opposite is true. Fly what works for you.

I started watching you three years ago JB and we have come a long way from the components we started with. Im on my third Fettec F7 build so far i have used nothing but the 35amp 20x20 esc with a 45amp or 50amp low esr compasiter. And i have run this stack on 6s & 4s.4inch & 5inch builds.. Once you figure out what you can do with 💋 Kiss the builds get a lot easier. On stock pids without any presets prop wash is near non existent! And i do love the simplicity of tunning with Kiss because i suck at tunning 3.5.7 above Betaflight . Adjust the rates and throttle curve & fly it some more! You will see that it is different for sure😀 PS: The Fettec configurator has a new firmware update for the esc. I was running one wire. But for the last 10 packs i been running Dshot 2400 without any issues!

Dont be fooled by that. Kiss is different how it handles pid loop, esc, filtering. Fly 10 packs on bf and another 10packs on well tunned kiss. You will not look the same back to bf after this. Kiss just adds that AI element to your moves and kind of a predicts pid errors :) Joshua like UAVTech dude probably are trying to play some dirty games against rising star ;)

You can get camera plates used on the HD Apex frame, they come with spacers for the camera and they are’s drilled to move the dji camera forward slightly so you don’t get the front standoffs in view with camera angles below around 30 degrees. Unfortunately you can’t just buy the standard Apex frame with HD camera plates as an option.

You can use serial 1 for dji as well and just change it the serial tab. Kiss on a stock tune does fly better than stock betaflight for sure. I recently did the same build with a set of the vanover 2207 1860kv, but it's funny just how much alike we think when we built ours, I did the same exact spike absorbers and cap setup and put it in the same spot I just used 3m rubber foam double sided, but I soldered it to a closer motor cap spot. Anyways nice build. Oh yeah I got fettec beta firmware on my esc to run dshot 2400, amazing!

Really enjoyed this video Joshua. I was one of those people that got a kiss/fettec stack after that rotor riot episode where they made it seem like the most amazing thing. I did this EXACT build on a Glide frame. I found that I actually like betaflight better. Kiss might be better feeling (I can’t feel it though), but absolutely nothing ground breaking like I expected or people say. Actually kind of relieved because I’ve come to learn betaflight so well that the “simplicity” of kiss gui is actually more confusing lol. Glad I can confidently stay on betaflight with some mild tuning guidelines by UAVTech. Wish I saw this video before buying that kiss stack though!

Kiss tune gets very affected by the weight. The tune I got on my main quad is almost the same as the one you use here. But that's with a session. If you put a hero 8 it will change slightly. The first point you made it's exactly why I prefer kiss, just tell me where to put the cables, I don't want to mess around with 20 uarts. And finally I totally agree with the final thoughts, fly what fits you. Kiss fits me perfect, I am on the same way of thinking kiss people have. But maybe not having an osd or ways to change the uarts offends you, then go beta. Fly what fits you.

I did almost this exact same build last week except I made a plug for the Crossfire RX as well as the Vista. I have nothing soldered to the FC, not that I mind soldering, just no chance of pads being ripped off the board since the Crossfire RX plug connector is on the bottom of the FC (and it looks so clean with the top plate off).

This video could not have come at a more perfect time. Thanks, Joshua. Edit: I feel there is definitely something different with KISS. Being a novice pilot, it gave me tons of confidence I don't have on any of my BF quads. Maybe you and other pilots that are just so good that your flight style includes the reflexes and reactions that those of us whom are less experienced don't have... and can therefore notice the difference of KISS?

I just built a Fettec/KISS quad for the first time after flying Betaflight since basically the first day it came out. No doubt it's out of the box tune for a 5" is superb - but at this point - I'm just more comfortable with Betaflight and it's actually less complicated for me since I already know it so well. Given that I know BF so well, I can get a quad in a position that flies better _for my tastes_ faster / easier than with KISS and *cough* with a stack that's half the price. And because I'm a nerd, if something doesn't make sense with BF I can look at the code and if i'm bothered enough - can just write a change for myself. And some of the simplest configuration / quality of life things aren't available in KISS - clearly I'm in the wrong mindset for K.I.S.S. though. But especially 5" with decent size motors, man, all the firmwares can be stellar these days.

Yeah I have to agree on there not being huge differences in BF and KISS or any other FC software I've used. I just recently 'upgraded' an Armattan Badger to the same FETtec FC and ESC you used as I wanted to know what all the hype was about and it's excellent don't get me wrong. I'm very happy with it. However I also have a second quadcopter with a premium BF FC and a premium BLHeli32 ESC and if anything at this moment in time it actually flys a little better than my KISS build. To be fair I haven't really got into tuning on the KISS build yet so I believe once that's done they will feel very similar. I do find propwash handling is definitely better on KISS straight away, and I like that there isn't quite so much to change. Personally I like both though and I don't regret either, but anyone who tells you one is massively better than the other is just plain wrong. As regards to FPV cameras I kinda get what you mean when it comes to latency. I flown Runcam Split cameras for a very long time which were known for high latency and then I built a quadcopter with a Runcam Micro Swift 2 in it and straight away I felt like I could hit gaps that I wouldn't of dreamed of doing before. Funny thing is I'm thinking of getting DJI next month so it will be like going backwards in a way. One other thing though. Why select FETtec OneWire when it only supports DShot600 and that ESC supports DShot2400? I've been running mine on DShot2400, but I'll switch to OneWire if it's going to benefit me.

I'm not seeing the "simple" part of Kiss from your video, it all just to be the same level of complexity as any other software - Just different.

the best thing about KISS/FETTECT is you can just get up and fly, i HATE spending hours or multiple sessions messing with filters and different presets that never work because lets face it every single build out there is different and presets don't work as well as you think they should, KISS just works, also you can just use the plug that comes with the vista just need to swap the wires around and I'm also using serial 1

Hey Joshua are you using gummies just to space the esc and fc or did you put gummies in each mounting hole as well?

How come the esc is upside down? You could have used the bigger xt60 pads the other side for a better solderjoint

Just finished my apex/fettec/dji build yesterday lol i done everything the same but used the 4pin plug on the underside of the fc for crossfire worked fine apart from I had to change the channel outputs on crossfire as kiss was showing wrong inputs, now the midpoints are all off and had to use a dead band so I didn’t have to change it on my radio, anyone got any ideas about where I went wrong ?

Just a quick tip for anyone who REALLY has to use wires between the capacitor and ESC : twist the wires as much as possible, and keep the wires as short as possible. Otherwise, there is possibility to introduce pretty bad behavior and end up blowing up the capacitor (and maybe ESC)

You need to pair the FETTEC+DJI combo with TBS Tracer in order to get the latency down again and regain that locked-in feeling. Just like Vanover did with his dream quad.

My Fettec 45amp esc, just beeps twice when I plug it in, and only 3 blue lights flash? I tried to reflash it with the fettec gui, but it does not see the escs?
