Рет қаралды 13,836
2 жыл бұрынThe Rekon35 is a special drone with unique characteristics. The most stand out feature is its power source from two 18650 batteries. This nano drone was designed specifically for long-range / endurance flying. Today we take it for its first flight, and see how well it performs. For more information, Check out: rekonfpv.com/

You had a lot more battery left. 2.7v is safe to fly to. Glad you actually mentioned the best batteries this time. Did you say what the VTX power was? I understand needing the extra battery for the GPS/motor/prop/weight but I don't think it's worth it since it doesn't freestyle well. There's better 3" 1s options that get way more flight time. Good for long range though. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Sony VTC6(for time) or LG HE4(for power).

i own a lot of fpv drone and decide to buy this little boy brand new on the HGLRC official site to test the flight capability of a drone with a couple of 18650 battery. This drone flight well and my overall judgement is positive. Only one issue with the M80 gps onboard (ublox protocol) that refuse to works at all. Also testing a second one (NMEA protocol??) same issue ..... Asked to customer care HLRG that ask me to send a video and ask me to wait for technical support and wait and nothing happen ..... HGRLC the worst customer care support never seen.... by the way the M80 is'nt equipped with button battery on board and every power on is a cold start (the gps never remember the position... ) bought a Beitian 220 for 13 dollars and finally everything run fine....

To increase the number of detected GPS satellites, you need to install a ferrite ring on the wires of the GPS receiver. It will also be better if you wrap these wires around the ferrite ring several times.

Sorry for the late reply..This drone isn’t designed for Acro(battery style), but having said that, the drop was majority me and my flying style. You can take a look at the throttle position(bottom right) during that portion of the flight. I was not even above 67% during the recoveries.

I'm a total drone beginner. Expecting my Tinyhawk III RTF kit + spare batteries to arrive in three days. Looking forward to the first few flights, crashes, and gradually gaining confidence and ability. Luckily, I have some nice large indoor areas to fly where I work. Absorbing as much info as I can, but there's SO much. Already wondering what the first upgrade I'll want will be. This nano long range looks very cool, but I don't think the Recon35 would work with the transmitter or goggles I'd get with my RTF kit. Would the Babyhawk II HD with Frsky D8 have similar long distance ability to the Recon35, but work with the goggles and transmitter I've already ordered? I bet a video recommending a few specific upgrade options to beginners like myself that have bought a Tinyhawk III RTF kit would be very popular. Thanks for the great videos! They're super helpful and I look forward to seeing what you have to show off next!
@OneManUnmanned 2 жыл бұрын
Congratulations on your first RTF drone. You'll be addicted in no time. The Rekon35 would be compatible with your radio and goggles as long as you get the analog version with an Frsky receiver. The only area of concern is that Frsky receivers are not known for long-range reception. As far as the BabyHawkII HD, it will not be compatible with your goggles or radio. I would suggest the analog version of that fine as well. I've done a full review on this drone and is a great performer. It is my daily driver and testing platform for radios and goggles. Welcome to the FPV Hobby.

I just got this drone as my first elrs drone. I have everything set up and am using the samsung 30q batteries. I'm only getting around 4 minute flight times and the low voltage warning shows up after about a minute. The batteries are new and bought specifically for this drone. Is there maybe a setting i'm messing up or are my batteries maybe underpowered. 15a discharge rate and 3000mah.

Thanks. I have an analogue Rekon35 ELRS built in connected to a Jumper T Lite. All good even arming works. Just can't seem to get the link quality to display on the OSD (it always says zero with the flashing warning). Where did I go wrong in Betaflight?
@OneManUnmanned Жыл бұрын
I don’t know what version of BetaFlight you’re on, but I’m on 10.9.0. So try to go into your Receiver Tab and make sure your RSSI is checked in the off position. Next go to your OSD tab, on the left side you will see “Elements”. Make sure you have selected both “LinkQuality” and “RSSI dBm value”. You will now have to arrange those elements on the screen, depending on where you want them. A good recommendation is to not place them too close to each other. Sometimes if they are placed too close, you might have a stacking/overlapping issue where one element actually covers the other. The LQ and dBm needs space to display all characters and numbers. Hope this helps.
@OneManUnmanned Жыл бұрын
As far as the warning, you can go to warnings of the “OSD” tab and unselect “RSSI dBm”. I don’t think that has ever worked in BetaFlight. You will still get a warning and flashing if the LQ and dBm goes below a certain value.

I've got problem with GPS on my new Rekon35 (M80 GPS). Plugged batteries but Betaflight "3D fix: False" without any satelites. I disconnected and went outside for 10minutes, still with 0 satellites. What I 've missed/been doing wrong? One guy suggested to turn off VTX. How do I turn off zeus nano - manually or disabling in Betaflight (Ports Menu - changing - Softserial1 Peripheral from (VTX IRC Tramp) to Disable??

I have never experienced that…I don’t know what turning off the VTX would do to help this situation. It just sounds like you’re not acquiring any satellites. Maybe your M80 is broken.

Have you figured it out the low number of satellites you were getting? Did you fix it? Im almost buying this drone, do you still recomend it?
@OneManUnmanned 2 жыл бұрын
It's a good drone.. There are numerous factors to affect GPS reception including location and other environmental conditions. You can lower the required amount of satellites in BetaFlight from 8 to whatever number you need. If you look at my flight footage, you'll see I get over 8 pretty easily once I started flying(confirming there are multiple factors affecting satellite count). As far as recommendations, you have to know what you're getting into.. It's kind of a niche drone. The 18650 batteries, light frame, ELRS, and GPS make this drone special, but these things can also make your flying experience more difficult if something goes wrong. I still have mine, and have fun with it.

I don't fly it as often as my other drones, but it's not because it not fun. I fly the other drones more to test other products like cameras, RX and new TX. The Rekon is not going to be as agile or performance oriented as the Crux. It's more of a cruiser/explorer type drone. It's recommended if you want something different.

After I combined the small colorless center piece and the propeller, do I just push them onto the motor's center pole ( let the motor's pole penetrate the middle hole of the small colorless center piece)? In this step I am panicking because I am scared that I might push the propeller too hard and damage the motor. Did you use any other tools or you just push them in by hands?
