Wondering the same anyone can pl update the link!!
What motors are used on this quad? My Merica arrived today but I havent settled on motors.
I have a few fresh sets of BH Deadpool R5 2306-2450's laying around, along with a Synergy F4/Unify pro v3/Nano and a T-motor F55a f3... use the Returners or up the kv to 2700, or just bit the 6s bullet? (dont really want to do that yet, lots of fresh 4s motors and packs left)
I love watching you. Grumpy Trev too. Im great at building quads. Great at soldering. Wish I was better just racing
Stew I loved seeing and hearing the excitement from all of you on this quad! MERICA!
It sure makes you look good thru the gates. I've never seen you fly that clean. It's been about a "New Best" every week or 2 for quite a while, and it's no BS, seems like a huge move forward in quad design is happening. The rest of the components have been nearly maximized and now the attention has been turned to frames with phenomenal results. I'm glad I'm short of cash lately, I'd have a stack of very good frames I couldn't afford to build. I hope they are still available when I get around to picking one to build.
So the Merica seems to be the one, it's that good a flyer that I think I could actually handle it at my skill level, some of the others seemed very fast, but a bit of a handful.
This one looks to get a 10/10 from all 3 of you (30 SCGT points.) Nobody had a single bad thing to say about it, and that's a high bar to beat.
It will be interesting to see what's next. Nurks (Paul) new Kratos frame looks promising, I almost popped for one, but it is sold out already.
Thanks for another great test report.
Fantastic quad!!! Thanks for the video!
These quads are getting so fast, it's crazy how we see more and more machines hitting speeds over 80/90miles an hour so easily... Got to love them...
YES! Love my CMW Speed Addict 210 and I think this will be my next quad. Its just such an awesome design.
Awesome man.. pure badass! Looks alot like a tuned quad I have flown that took me weeks to prepare.. that is very impressive for a BNF!
Love the part at 10:10 when trev says, "not even i could brame this" lol. Great vid
stu u should do a top gear style fastest quad or lap type of chart for the back wall would be a great idea mate
YES power board would be AWESOME for the channel, especially how fast the hobby is evolving....
He needs a drone Stig too.
Good idea, drone stig!
Damn ghost branch ended the flight. NEVER stop there we needed to see it fly again. Great video's guys. We love um.
You guys are awesome! I love watching your videos Stu! I liked watching the part at the end, it felt like I was with you guys. Also, yes I would enjoy seeing you do more freestyle!!!
I wish you were all there with us. that is what this channel is about, getting out and flying with your mates and sharing this fun.
Wow! This quad is awesome!!
Sweet! Just ordered this frame this morning
Great review.
Love all your videos! You guys are great! Hope you try out that new furibee fire dancer! Was thinking about ordering one but might just go for the darkmax or x215
I think you found your new favorite :) I love my Merica running F40 2600kv motors. Even my Hyperlite 2.0 running 2700kv motors doesn't come close to the agility and speed of the Merica. I just freestyle and like to hit tree gaps and dive but it is perfect for any type of flying you want to do. It has also been very durable.
Incredible!
Bought the razor edition! Need to bind it, can't wait to fly it in the spring!
Bucket and shield....smart...wicked work gents.
This Quad goes so fast, it look like you're in fast forward
All honesty all my qav stretched 220 quads have exact handles turnining while in a turn. I have alot of frames not as many as u but i think it still comes down 2 whose driven.. Love ur channel stew.
Love the end of the video....you 2 are in RC bliss.....haha
Wow that thing is crazy fast!!
Great Review Stu. I totally agree with everything You, Cal and Trev have to say, the "Merica is the best quad I have ever flown. In fact, I've built 2 5inch and building a 4inch now. Can't explain it you just have to build one and see for yourself. Time to buy the GoPro canopy.
Amazing!
I'm in love... Wow, just wow.
OMG THAT QUAD IS AMAZING
Nice!!! Looks like is worth the price very much
After watching this review I can't wait to get mine from the Q&A giveaway! Amazing flying as usual Gents!
Check your youtube inbox, there are some instructions there
This blue prop on the outro rocks
Hey Stu, you should create a UAVfuture ranking of drones you've reviewed. Maybe sub-branch of Trev & Cal's own ranking of best drones they've tested.
So what you're saying is like the old Top Gear fastest laps?
floorpizza 😆 what does he meant ?😆😆😆
A ranking chart, out of 10 for you, Trev and Cal and a top gear style lap time, maybe even a value/price column too. Then dust off the old GT2 for a reasonably priced quad for guests... OK I miss Top Gear.
You just have a helmet fetish... :P
excellent review maybe someday ...
On your way to silver play button! Good job
beautiful freestyle spot
Yep ordered a frame... Catalyst Machine Works does not yet sell this one PnP..... but watching for it. Nice review.
WOW! i have no words.
Wow..... Fast Double WOW for the $$$! I will have to wait till it goes on sale and more than 12%!
I just have the little quads that are fun to rip around inside the house. One of these days I'll go big and buy a real one haha. Keep putting out the great videos
Wow stew super fast and super smooth very very nice . You should start timing your laps each time you review a quad and put it on the track. Great review 👌👌👌
Let's do this Stewart!!!!
The frame isn't terribly expensive. Something like $60-80. If you've got a 4 in 1 build then it's well worth transplanting it.
QandA Goodayy stu!! Do you highly recommend to use a capacitor on building a quad and do you use capacitor when you building your quad thanks :)
can you make a video (or just reply here) on how the camera placement on the quad changes the way it feels. For instance, this 'merica (more centered and higher) vs something that has camera up front and low. Thanks
That settles it I'm buying the frame!
That's a sweet-looking drone look like it was plenty fast by the way how did snakes thing work out did you all get plenty of money and is he doing alright best wishes to him hope you had a good Thanksgiving
Hey Stu! How viable is it to transfer frames? Like if I had a fully working drone, grabbed this frame and transferred its parts over. Would it fly equally as well?(For any frame for that matter)
what did you think about the luminuree antennas?
I just got to try mine and in an urban area with lots of WiFi, it was horrible. I couldn't go farther than 50' without the colors getting really distorted.
What motors are used on this quad? My Merica arrived today but I havent settled on motors.
I have a few fresh sets of BH Deadpool R5 2306-2450's laying around, along with a Synergy F4/Unify pro v3/Nano and a T-motor F55a f3... use the Returners or up the kv to 2700, or just bit the 6s bullet? (dont really want to do that yet, lots of fresh 4s motors and packs left)
I’m building a racing drone with 4 in 1 20 amp esc and 3s lipo do I need a capacitor and when would I need one.
Hey Stu! On a budget, and want to get a setup this christmas.. Eachine Wizard or Furibee? Is the Furibee that much more worth it? Thanks!!
can you have a look in betaflight and see whats set up dynamic filter notch filters off extra, and a is there a gps return to home version for trev, and me. and bruce. and quadcopter101. hehe...
Please do a build video of this drone!
hi,
what do u do to revent the bottom screw from going into the lipos?
Hey Stu, I really enjoy your reviews. Keep up the good work. And is it just me or does grumpy Trev crash every kwad you let him fly?😁
That is one of the best of the best
Grumpy Trever tested it well.I think it is one of the well protected drones built
sparrow part 1 is up, part 2 coming soon
Thanks for your reply I Saw the mesg and thought I was about to see it sparrow video
. merica is double the money and twice the quad on paper and video
Once again a great vid and review.
What patch anntenna are you using on your fpv goggles ?! It looks like a realacc
yep, look at my tech tuesday video on it.
wooowww is just sick
Awesome Quad. I wonder of which components its build up as on the catalyst machine works site they don’t offer a pnp
They build to order so you can spec it yourself and the one Stu had should have been faster I think the pitch on the props let it down.
Hey stu great video again ;)
Could you do a video about your own dream frame just draw it on a paper
I think you have very good frame ideas 😃😃
Hey Stew, I noticed that Trev has some sort of filters on his goggles where the antenna's screw in ?? Can you please explain :)
amazing === what is the cost of that drone configuration ?
. THX
I had to admit it, this drone is like nothing else. Yes it is expensive. but this is a rare case where I think the extra $$ is well worth it. bit.ly/CMWquads
stew you have fastest growing beard ever m8 XD XD
UAVfutures it's not that expensive considering what you get it cost me about the same amount to build my race drone and I had to do the labor myself. So Is it your main quad now Stewart?
When are you going to get a ghost mode 2 in your hands?
That flight footage was like none ive seen before on your channel. That thing lookled like it was on rails 😍😍
UAVfutures is this the gt2 from this year for you? Where you can grow with.
Wow. If you thought the 5" felt like a 3", what do you think the 3" will feel like? I'm going to get me one. Once the backorders are filled.
It looks like it's on rails!
Yes!
Have you ever considered reviewing the flight club fpv proton setup?
I would love if you tried the 5050 cyclones
I love it wish I had the money to get one
Hello Stu, can you write out the full spec of this drone please. I would like to build it.
merica vs talon
CAL - what diversity RX are you rocking and what antenna are you using on your fatsharks?
Hey, do you know where I can find the BNF version?
Hey Stu, do you think the bfight or the upgraded $99 quad is better
Your killin my bank account Stew!!!
Catalyst Machineworks will have their site updated shortly for a BNF version of the Merica. There is some confusion on this since it's not on their site yet. Basically, it's a custom BNF version that you build from parts that you choose from their site. If anyone is interested please email them directly and Neill will be happy to put together a plan and a price for you. Catalyst is top notch and you won't be disappointed. If you don't want a BNF version...then buy the frame and canopy and build your own. It's no more expensive than other other quality frames on the market. I'm not a sponsored pilot by CM...but I was fortunate to find them early in my FPV life and they have been nothing but helpful and I've never been disappointed in a product they've put out yet. Happy flying guys!
Hey stew what antennas are you using on your goggles love your stuff
What makes it so good? Is it just a sum of its parts or can it be attributed to something specific, frame, motor, flight controller etc?
frame design, small foot print, good parts, clean air for stepped up back motors.
The merica baby yeeeeeeaaaahhhhh Merica
Also, the link in your pinned post doesn't work. And it seems strange to me that the bnf builds on CMW website list no specs, how do you know what you are getting?
I'm seriously wanting to get into racers, what do you recommend?
Wooow holy crap i want one!!! I notice the blades all turn the other way than the norm i have seen. i wonder if that makes a difference
Daniel Singer They seem to be spinning normally to me.
Dylan Watkins l just realized the blades were put on normally in the beginning but near the end when he had it back inside they were opposite
Daniel Singer oh I see
I just ordered a frame with extra arms, has Cal?
I think the best part of seeing this, but knowing that I can't afford it, is that in about 18 months it will probably be a hot deal. :)
We'll be drooling over new videos, but those of us who can't get it now will be able to get it down the road :D
The frame and pod aren’t expensive (about $70usd I think), especially when you consider the quality, design and durability.
Cheaper than a Chameleon! It only gets pricey when you buy them prebuilt (bind n fly).
Stew was it cold out that day? Or were you just super excited about the drone 😀
Hey Stu, speaking of staggered arms, do you still fly your firehawk?
How does it compare to your talon?
What camera angle you use when you race?
HOLLYYYY SH**T THATS SO DAM FAST NOT TO MENTION HOW FAST U WERE WITH IT HOLY CRAP!!!!!!
Hey Stew you should review this Eachine BAT QX105 w/ AIOF3_BRUSHED OSD 600TVL Camera 1020 Motor Buzzer Micro FPV LED Racing Quadcopter BNF
Yes i brought a CMW Merica about 4 weeks ago i have the 2600kv version i run the tattu square 1300 packs & yes it will go over 100mph its slow compared to my CMW Stigg 195 running 2407R 2800kv on 6s 130mph + CMW are market leaders in worldclass BNF quads Merica best allround fast ultra good handling quad ever flowin period
CMW Stigg 195 running 2407R 2800kv on 6s - Goggles now :D
Aaa i lovee drone racing
Frame kit with pod is about $70. Sounds cheap enough to me
U should have used the dal 5051C so we can really see the power and to make up four the weight o the gopro.
these were the recommended props from the CMW themselves
Awesome review love my Merica! "I don't have the camera..." "Its on your head!" hahahahahahahahaha dead!
are the motor directions reversed on it? looks opposite to normal CW FL CCW FR
Grumpy hit a ghost Log!!!
lol love it
HAHAHA!
I would get this for Christmas but it's going to be raining everyday here so f $&k it, I'll wait till the summer.
Hopefully something better for lower price comes by then..
I wonder if reverse prop rotation feels similar
You and the gang should go out and fly your original fpv quads again! Get some footage just to see exactly how far things have come.
When is this quad back in stock ??
