An absolute outstanding video! I cannot believe how well you covered this A-Z. I finished my first build last week. Been buying the BNFs which are great but they didn't teach me much. I had to watch several different videos to get smart on everything. You have covered everything great, especially the choices of hardware. This is a model video for all newbie's to watch! Great Job!
@DarrenAllatt Жыл бұрын
Thanks JD, glad it helped you. Yeah there was a lot to cover, and it took ages to edit to be able to get that all into a single and concise 40 min video. I hear quite a bit parts selection and compatibility is a challenge, so hopefully that was covered effectively

I didn't watch the video, it's long, I just went through the bookmarks. I just realized again that it's really not for everyone to be able to build a fpv quad, it's just too complicated. And this is the simplest version of the quad, it is without GPS and other things needed for example for LR. GPS problems are always on the next level. This video must scare the greenies. It is necessary to appreciate the enormous amount of work that has gone into the video so far.😎
@DarrenAllatt Жыл бұрын
Thanks MomoBrut... It looks intimidating to see how much goes into a drone build, but how do you eat an elephant? 1 Bite at a time. The thing is, you are going to need to learn to build one for FPV purely for the fact that even if you buy a pre-built drone, it will break when it crashes, then you will need to fix it. Knowing how to build is learning how to fix it.
@MomoBrut Жыл бұрын
@@DarrenAllatt Well, I built a lot of quads, that's why I write what I write. Putting everything in one video is I don't know how to say it, I actually said it. The rookie won't be able to understand most of the video anyway, and after half of it he'll be downright overheated. And those who are not greenies just smile and nod their heads, it's done nicely. It would probably be more reasonable to just do it gradually, do more separated videos ... but I'm older now, and maybe I perceive things differently. But young rookies just can't focus on something like that for that long.

It is worth mentioning at around 8:30 about signal polarization. I see that your receiver has right-hand polarization (RHCP), the same antenna should be on your googles. Also let me know which of two is most common? Thanks!
@DarrenAllatt 6 ай бұрын
Typically for Analog and HdZero you use RHCP and for DJI and Walksnail it’s LHCP.

Can you toggle horizon mode, angle and air mode in beta flight, great video helped me out tons, and is it hard to get a drone permit in Australia??
@DarrenAllatt Жыл бұрын
Yes you can toggle them on in BF, just set the switch in the modes tab. To fly in Australia you need to be a member of the MAAA and fly at an MAAA airfield with a spotter. But if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around. Did it fall?

Can you try to give an estimate of about how fast this drone might go on 6s? I’m debating if I should build my own drone or just buy a Nazgûl Evoque.
@DarrenAllatt Жыл бұрын
This drone or a Nazgûl Evoque would go the same speed. Top speed would be 120km/h If you are looking for speed, you want a 6S Racing Drone. Building vs buying, you get better quality for the same price.

my tmotor 2207 v3 1950kv is hot after every flight, i set the motor timing to medium same as the video. Does that affect the temperature?
@DarrenAllatt 3 ай бұрын
When you say hot, how hot? They won’t be “cold” or pre-flight temperature as you have 26 volts running through them and they are spinning at 50,000 RPM. Also what quad are you using and how much does it weigh?
