@FPVREVIEWS Yeah I literally use it only to check if I meet approximate thrust and pitch speed, tho it's just static. But I never tested motor efficiency on that, may I know what's your workflow for that? (So far I sticked with Skywalker ESC and switching to SunnySky. (However dunno if the extra money on ESC makes some significant difference?)

@@pjak2000 Thank you very much 😊

@@sanjeetgill448 5010 750KV from AliExpress 😁

@@Avio_x Thank you very much 😊 oh damn! So you got similar experience 😅 My next build will get some serious servos! Oh cool, love UAVs 🥰

Thank you 😊

@@stephengould9385 No problem 😊 It is Depron. Or if you can get Foam Board that will be probably better.

Hi Steve. It's any wood glue (PVA) and the paper, it's packing paper. There are more variations with different thickness so I go around local stores and try to find the thinnest one. Mine has one side matt and the other is a little shiny. But both are smooth, so it's not like rough paper. Rly the best way is to check multiple stores and get the best you can find 😊👌

@@valkyrie_workshop thank you for your time

@@stephengould9385 no problem 😊

I totally could have used that. But I absolutely gave up on that idea when I saw what insane money they wanted for 2m of plastic (Oracover) 🤯 It would definitely looked better, tho I'd not claimed how much I saved on weight, literally the 3D printed case for SpeedyBee is heavier than any covering 😅 Anyway, the tape is also light and thin so covering the fuse with few overlaps gives an extra layer and strength for landings 😊👌

Thank you very much, I appreciate it! 😊 Allfather who, what? 👀

@@valkyrie_workshop 😅The Allfather, Odin, sends the Valkyries to select the souls of the slain warriors deemed worthy to enter Valhalla.

@@mrtea3122 Aaaaaaaa now I got it 😅 You´re right! 😊❤

@@cracker08121987 Thank you 😊 Yeah I know, the plane was indeed tuned in Acro. It's just on maiden I had it enabled all the time 😅

@@user-dy5sb2fh7y Thank you very much 😊 Yeah, we all learn from mistakes. So If I can share an example to prevent someone else from making that mistake then it's good 😁👍

Non existent

Thank you 😊

Thank you very much 😊

It's used as insulation under floor so check out some HW stores 😊

Normaly I use foam from dollar tree but after watch your video I think I’m going to try that unfortunately that foam in my area is 1 inch thickness, by The way where you from? Not much girls in this hobbie 😊😊😊😊

@@javieruriel Ah in that case I would rather use Foam Board as I used for older UAV I have built. Well it's Northern EU 😁 mm I seen precisely one girl on YT but she's into RC cars. But correct, not many. Many are just interested in absolute useless BS 🤣

The newest 7.1.2 😊

@@freshbeginners5373 yeah the good thing about FC or Gyro is you can disable it anytime and have full manual mode.

Those 3D files were more like improvising and building around what I had available. I can upload it on Thingiverse If you want. For the connection diagram, I don't have there anything special apart from regular RC plane connection.

I love them 😊

Thank you very much and thanks for the recommendation! They have quite some torque!😊I thought about original EMAX ES08MA II

Hello 👋 I think, most likely for RC plane projects, custom PDB, Lightning modules, CNC Laser/ Milling templates.

@@valkyrie_workshop Sounds great! Would love to have a further discussion, may I know your contact information?

@@zoeyzhang9866 Hello, please use the contact information (e-mail) available on my YT channel info tab. 😊

@@valkyrie_workshop Email sent! Looking forward to your reply!

It's either Maiden Flight or Maiden Crash. Or both 🤣

Haha yeah

Thank you very much 😊

@@IndraKurniawan-vk2qb Well I will try :)

Thank you very much 😊♥️ Well I would ideally recommend Genuine EMAX analog at least. However, I obviously try to keep the costs low so I have done many flights on copies of Tower Pro MG90s from AliExpress. Those are good copies tho! Nathan - AerostuffFPV uses them in all of his builds. Hopefully the link will work, but from this seller they are truly full metal gear (some other sellers have variants where the motor gear is plastic, but it's mostly mentioned in the reviews) I ordered like 20 of them and so far only two were faulty, gears skipping. a.aliexpress.com/_EQFwFJp But Bear 🐻 in mind I'd rather recommend EMAX from Banggood anyway, those are genuine! And the rubber bands, I take any from my local hobby stores. I can't give a good recommendation for that. On the packaging it's JP (JPerkins.com) 😊♥️

@@user-qc1gr4fr3f Thank you very much 😊 The plane had AUW 1361g (version without flight controller and GPS) I have not measured with the FC tho. Flight time is so far unknown. On maiden it was 15 minutes, kinda fast, consumed 1300mAh. I will have to set up a mission to fly and see how long will it fly on 4500mAh battery.

😅 Better tell Boeing 🤣

Flying manually will be hard but yes, you can. Remember to fly at nice, calm weather, without wind.

@@bq15096 I would recommend to get the cheap 12$ Gyro A3 V2 from AliExpress. You can tune it mid air and at least for Maiden it would be a "fail safe". If you want I can send you a link 😊 Even though the polyhedral gives some stability, when I fly manual I rather put some different color on the bottom of the wings to not get lost with the orientation further away 😂

@@AerialWaviator Thank you very much 😊🙌 Yeah some sleek rounded fuselage, with less aggressive angles would fit it well too. Yeah no problem, I've never seen such a stuff either 😅 But it comes from my first attempt to build a pusher UAV - I had fuselage built first and had no idea where to put the wings so this method has been discovered 😅 Luckily with this design the wing can be moved in range of 10-15mm so even without moving the battery one could do some fine tuning after. Or moving the tail boom. Literally three ways to fine tune the CG 👌💡

I am happy it helped 😊♥️ Haha I would like to claim it's my invention but not entirely sure about it tho 🤣

Sort of 😅 definitely the first Maiden was totally effortless 🤣

Try to using "AE/AF lock" (auto-exposure/auto-focus). Point camera at tree or something far away, zoom-in, let focus (a tap on object image), then press-n-hold on view screen. Should see yellow indicator popup saying AE/AF Lock enabled. To remove the AF lock just tap screen again. Can still use two fingers to manage zoom, but some care is needed, as single tap on screen will unlock AE/AF. Better option is downloading a 3rd party camera app that allows manual setting for focus (set to infinity for flying views). The Apple default camera app's autofocus is not your friend when taking long shots, or capturing images through glass. Any time focus is off, it starts scanning from close to far focus, so for far away objects this results in bad focus much of the time. Adding an external telephoto lens kit to the iPhone can also help for far away recording, as it can be hard to keep an RC plane in close.

@@AerialWaviator Lovely! Thank you very much! I am not using iPhones at all so I will pass the instructions to my assistant 😅 Do you think an older DSLR would perform better? Got Nikon D3200, It has "proper" lenses, although I was told that the video performance is not that great compared to modern phones 🤔

@@dustinwilson492 Thank you very much 😊 Yeah maybe? I am trying to figure out if people even like my videos so I am trying to compress the things more to not waste anyone's time 😅

LMAO right? 🤣🤣 The Droopies has an effect, In general, if it's designed to the plane and desired flight characteristics. Droopies like STOL package for Cessnas, or A10 got them. They should improve Take Off and Landing as said, and help with ailerons control authority as the high pressure is "trapped" under the wing. I am not an expert to Droopies tho, I added them mainly for design. But feels like it's flying on a rails LoL. Thank you very much Nathan 😊♥️🤘

@@lienmeat Thank you very much 😊 Oh I see. No worries, I will make the complete INAV walkthrough. The Advanced Settings page looks complicated on the first look, but it's very simple and I will show you how simple it actually is! I think many INAV videos are more yapping than helping.

@@valkyrie_workshop That would be amazing! You do a good job of explaining things without extra "yapping".

@@lienmeat Cool! 😎 Thank you 😊🤘

Thank you very much ☺

@@stevenshook5676 Thank you very much 😊 Will try my best 🤘

Not sure how the question was meant, but it drains the battery in correlation with amps draw. 4.5A will drain 4500mAh battery in "one hour".

@@kkuenzel56 I can drop you the STL files if you want. But IMHO the design needs a revision 😅 It was more like, OK I got a stick and now somehow to improvise to make an airplane around it. I might do a revision in the future, better build and better video than this.

Looking forward to the revision. Great video 👍
