Video

Sorry to hear that. Definitely hit or miss with these things.

Thanks man! Definitely enjoy flying this thing. I just got the maple antenna after watching your video on it since I already broke the stock antenna.

@@NotSoScale sweet man! That maple wireless is so much better. I could go slightly further with it. Haha glad that video helped man! Happy flying bruddah!!

Thank you!

Thanks for the recommendations!

That's TOO EXPENSIVE! I got mine for $80 with vouchers shipped from China. Just check for deals online.

Hello, it's normal for the esc and motor to be warm after a while but it should't be too hot to the touch. Maybe double check your wiring and make sure you are using batteries that the esc can handle (im assuming 2s batteries only). If this doesn't solve it then maybe try using a different esc. Hope this helps.

@@NotSoScale Thank you for your kind reply. I use 2s 1500mA battery. I already used the plastic square 40A esc and it got hot so I returned it and found your video. I then ordered and installed an ESC similar to yours, and it also got hot. LOL The 2-speed gearbox I bought is not a genuine WPL product, but a third part made of metal. I suspect it may be because my 2-speed motor is not WPL.

@@NotSoScale Oh, thank you. I only have one 2S 1500mA battery. I'm going to disconnect the motor from the gearbox and run just the motor. I expect that it will be revealed whether it is a gearbox problem or a motor problem. I'll keep trying. thank you.

@@NotSoScale Oh, sir, I just found out the cause through testing. As long as the motor is running, there is no significant heat generation. The cause was the gearbox. Perhaps this gearbox is not sophisticated enough to overload the motor. I wasted my money. LOL

Its the f310 which is still a solid controller you can get brand new for $20 to $30

@@wachaczz ok??

You mean his gaming controller or the actual drone radio? Cause if you mean game controller - can confirm PS5 controller is no better. Joysticks offer low tier functionality when flying sim

I haven't tried using fpv controllers for flight sims but I saw some posts on reddit saying that fpv controllers work fine. A dedicated HOTAS system would definitely still be better in the long run if you intend to focus on flight sims. I personally wouldn't get an fpv controller just for flight sims. Hope this helps!

I've set up my black sheep tango 2 for MFS, just to see if it works. I does. I've also set it up to fly helicopters for Squad works really good there

I think it's possible but im not sure about how good it would be for different types of games.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Don't worry, I have a video coming soon.😉

@@NotSoScale awesome!

Hello, it can do small slides but not really drifting. If you want to do drifts, you need to get an RC drift chassis, not a TT02. Hope this helps!

Hey man, thank you so much! The 3.5 inch class is a great place to start for a first fpv drone build. In terms of frames, the manta 3.5 frame I used in the video is a bit heavy but it flies fine. However, you may want to look at lighter frames for better freestyle performance. I highly recommend doing your own research since this is the only frame I tried so far and there are other frames in the market that may suit your needs better. Good luck on your build!

Radiomaster pocket!

@@user-fo4lu5zr5r does it matter if its 6CH or 8CH one ? Will it work with Velocidrone sim? Thanks in advance!

@@luisocampo3518 8 channel one is better in my opinion

Radiomaster pocket, the $50-60 ones don't come with batteries though. You need to buy 2x 18650 batteries. You'll also need a long enough USBC data cable. The one that comes with is a bit too short. I've used it in TRYP/DRL Simulators. Most sims have similar detection, so I'm sure it works in Velocodrone.

I haven't had any issues with the diffs but the pinion and spur started to develop a grinding sound and sometimes wouldn't spin smoothly. I checked and there weren't any missing teeth on any of the gears. The gear mesh also seems fine so I'm not sure what the problem is. I'll try to replace the pinion gear since that might be the issue, as I read somewhere that the metal pinion that comes with kit is made of soft metal and wears out easily.

@NotSoScale oh okay, that's good to hear. Good luck on the repair and thanks for the info, I'm planning on picking one of these kits up soon.

The sim in the video is DRL Simulator but there are other FPV drone simulators like liftoff and velocidrone.

Thanks man!

This is mostly based on one's preference and I don't have a full sized controller for comparison 😁

I started on the game controllers like this...after I finally got the tx18s I can't use anything else. My say in this :)@@NotSoScale

Nope

Thanks man! Glad I could help.

Thanks man! 🔥

Glad to hear it!

Thanks man!

I'm actually saving up for a tiny whoop 😆. Thanks for the tips!

Glad you liked the video! Those were the screws included with the vtx and I just wanted to finish the build so I didn't bother with ordering shorter ones. Also 2 long screws would still be lighter than 4 long screws and the vtx is secure even with just two screws but yes, ideally you would want to use shorter screws.

Thanks a lot!

It wasn't, but I'll improve my scripts next time.

Thank you! Once I find a good spot and get enough practice, I'll definitely full send it. Still trying to be a bit careful now cause I don't want to to break the quad immediately and buying new parts would hurt my wallet 😆

Thank you and good luck on your first build!

yeah, I learned using the Stabilization mode also.... but you soon realize it's a waste of time. Going Acro actually feels like flying, while Stab feels like driving. The Stab mode is handy when you lose video and need to punch up to recover the signal.
