Ahh I love this video for the nostalgia. 1806 motors on a 250 frame, simonK ESCs, bullet connectors and a naze. Crazy how far the hobby has come in such a short time :)
This is the best and excellent FPV quadcopter build video i have ever seen - Very neat Specs, Wiring & the excel sheet is amazing - Thanks alot for all your efforts
You are welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!
Amazing! Best quadcopter build video yet!
Ty for upload.Very good instructions.
Easy to follow.
+6 teeth thank you!
Awesome stuff mate! Cheers.
+Abhinai Reddy Kakani thank you!
Nice build! I have not yet got into this side of quads yet..but when I do I will mirror your video build to learn how to do it! Thanks for sharing this valuable information, nice work!
Great vid with good pace. Straight to the point. I like it
Thanks Man! This is the easiest video to understand than the others and plus an easy build for me because of you!
yep that's what it was got it sorted all working now will take it for its first flight tomorow. thanks for making the video
Easy explanation very clear
thank you so much!this is really helpful video
+Niraj Deshmukh your welcome!
great vid. I'm thinking about making a drone after I finish something else. subscribed
brilliant video
I appreciate all the work and effort you must have put in to do this video and all it's peripheral (parts) information. I am new to FVP (very new) and have watched many "build" video's. Clear, understandable and delivers a clean insight into understanding the components and relationship to each other. Have you done a video on the camera set-up, ground station (if any) and what type of goggles best for s beginner? I wear glasses but want the experience goggles, screens just don't fo it for me....Brilliant video well done and thank you.
+Robert Rife thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
I have not done a video on the ground station. Fatsharks and most goggles are basically plug and play, no real setup.
nice it help me so much
Good video, good info. thank you.
frame for quad - www.my-rc-drone.com/shop/drone-parts/fpv-mini-h-quadcopter-zmr250-quad-frame-for-qav250/
It's a good price but it doesn't have the built in PDB and what's shipping?
bro awesomeeeee....I don't hvr words to express..vvv nicely executed....nicely u explained everything...keep it up...
Man you good easy to learn vids and fast thanks to upload this
Glad you found it healpful!
Im gonna build this! :) my first racing drone. Already ordered everything for drone.. camera and googles later.. Thank you for the video really looking forward.
Hello can you please help me? I ordered this one www.banggood.com/DALRC-NAZE32-REV6-MPU6050-32-bit-6-DOF10-DOF-Flight-Controller-for-Multicopter-p-1020774.html Can you please confirm with me that pin row with GND,5V,PPM/1,2-8 is for receiver and the 1-6pins on the opposite side of board for the ECS? I don't understand where is power for the board (didn't find this in video)? Should I connect battery 5V (or 12V? not sure if controller is able to handle it?)from frame to the VBAT pin and ground from frame to the GND next to VBAT? Is the frame. Many thanks!
Found schema for my Controller www.dronetrest.com/t/naze-32-revision-6-flight-controller-guide/1605... Its saying input rail can be used for PWM, can you help what should be done to switch it? My receiver does not support CPPM and i don¨t need those pins now. Found some convertor from PWM to CPPM but switch it is cheaper.
aha I already found that there is one pin for receiver but it needs to be PPM receiver. and it looks like this board is also capable to use PWM receiver www.dronetrest.com/uploads/db5290/original/2X/9/977a2a3924cfb004ccd942228e96e4657a292b5b.jpg with pins 1-8, how it works? Can I just plug channels 1-4 to pins 1-4 and NAZE will recognise them?
great video!
Thank you! :D
Thank you for this video :) Really good information.
Thank you!!
+How We Make Things so i have to make a drone as a school project and we dont have that solidifier thing so is it possible to use hot glue?
Did you mean soldering station? Radio Shack or any electronics store sells them. Even hardware stores,but be careful not to get one that runs too hot. You can order one on line but check to make sure its not one of the really cheap crappy ones.
You can not use glue on metal,no conductivity.
ok thank you
AWESOME,Helpful Video!! im still Learning,but this Helped Ease my fear of building! do any of the nuts and bolts Require Lock-tight?
Thank you!
Yes you should locktite the bolts going into the frame that don't use nylon locking nuts. Don't locktite nylon
nice video! I would make this but without a Camera. do I need the PDB and the OSD than?
+DiyAquaPonics the PDB makes things so much simpler. You don't technically have to have it, but not having it makes your build nastier and harder to repair/mod. You do not need the OSD if you aren't doing FPV
hi thanks for this video its very helpful can u tell me what is the range of the transmitter and can it hover in air when u leave the controls
+Aditya kore it drifts while hovering. If you get sonar this helps minimize a little of the vertical drift, but the drone is meant to be moving a lot and fast
Can I use kk 2.1.5 for this drone and will the performance change if yes what will the change be
Plz answer , love ur videod
Great tutorial! I'm wondering what the weight of this completed build might be. Also, could I go with a smaller frame and still use the same components you've listed without any issues?
+JAIME D you would have to use smaller props if you want to go with a smaller frame but otherwise it should work
Hry, do you have a link for the fpv trans mitter and reciver you had in the videom I want to be able to fly around my house, with barley any static. I live in a neighborhood, like yours. It would be great to get it to go behind a house three houses down if possible dont think that would happen. Thanks a lot your a big help and just to say I may or may not post a video of me testing this quad.
+Mitch D So we are using Fat shark goggles which came with a built in video receiver bit.ly/1WaqxtH
but you can also get this video receiver and decoder: bit.ly/1rqWpgj This decoder comes with RCA cables so you can plug it into any TV/Monitor with Red/Yellow/White RCA inputs
here is the video transmitter that is on the drone: bit.ly/1VKKerC
This is just a 200mW transmitter, if you are looking to go around houses you will want a higher power transmitter like this one: bit.ly/1TiNl6K
This one is a 600mW transmitter so it will go through walls a little better than the previous one.
Let me know how it goes!
Hello, great video! However, I'm having issues with my drone's motors not spinning in sync. Motors 1 and 4 start to spin at around 1058 throttle, and 2 and 3 spin at 1160. What can I do to fix this? I've already done the esc calibration thing on cleanflight, which didn't seem to help.
Nevermind, figured it out. Didn't know you were suppose to turn on the transmitter while doing the esc calibration, lol. After I did this about 2-3 times, everything works :D
+Nanochip glad you figured it out :) was going to say that I didn't run into that issue on my build
hello can't seem to get a hold of the same naze32. would Afro Naze 32 Acro Rev6 10DOF work. and is the set up the same?
+Dale Burrows yes any Naze board would work, just have to pay attention to the pin outs, they might have you solder the header pins on or they might use a micro JST connection
Can i use 20a esc? Thanks
Can I use a kk2 or k.k.5 flight controller
Hey, where did you buy the cables to connect the receiver to the Flight Controller? And is there any other less expensive Transmitter and receiver? Thanks
you can get them in single pin jumpers or 3 pin jumpers: www.banggood.com/40Pcs-10cm-Female-To-Female-Jumper-Cable-For-Arduino-p-994059.html?rmmds=search?p=8Q12113516108201601L
They are servo jumpers or single pin arduino jumpers
what do you think about this motors? should i buy this or spend a little more for better ones. Is a better motor noticable if kwad is operated by the begginer?
great thanks. I'll let you know how I go. impatiently waiting for everything to arrive in the mail
+Dale Burrows lol I hear you
Hi, does the Sony NTSC Camera, includes the "balloon suspensions ? And can the Sony NTSC camera be fixed to the FreeYoung ZX-250 ?
+MrGod no it does not include the rubber standoffs, that comes with the zmr frame not the Free Young
Hello,
What kind of lipo battery should I use in the BUILD 2 ?
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JMd0CcFWoLFMNBiWdIQWIyZlWzdelcfXdjtqQQHpfk0/edit#gid=0
And did you build the BUILD 2 ? If yes, does it work well ?
hey mate have managed to bind my turnigy9x has a solid red light on receiver. but when I hold the throttle to the right I do not get a green light on my Naze. any ideas? cheers
+Dale Burrows that means it's not arming. The issue is that your minimum/max throttle aren't setup properly. Basically your throttle needs to ranger between under 1100 and under 1900.this is a pretty common issue you can find a video online
how many signals you connected to your receiver without count
the 1st wire the only signal ones
can you use a different flight controller?
Great video bud, my only advice would be to turn the flight controller 90 degrees before mounting so that the usb port is at the side where it's easier to get to. You can then change the gyro rotation to 90 degrees in cleanflight which will put the orientation back to normal again.
Yes I agree! in fact I wish I had done that! Would have been so much easier
How We Make Things I was lucky in a way because I see it advised on a video before I built my first quad if not I would of also mounted the FC with the arrow facing forward too. It's an excellent video you have put together though. Very detailed and a great video for anyone building their first quad. I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my comment and thanks for such a good video. Fly safe and have fun buddy! You have a new sub :)
Modz FPV Yes it would have helped me too knowing it and knowing how many times I would have to plug it in and open up cleanflight. There is something nice though about not having to change too many settings, especially for a first build, the fewer the steps the more confident you will feel about it I think.
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback, and the subscription!
We can use readytosky motor and emax 12a blheli esc
I built (today) a 250 very similar to this. however I am struggling to get the drone stabilized. Can you provide detail for setting up PIDS and other configurations within Cleanflight?
+kerry corcoran I never messed with PIDs if you leave it at default it's a bit tough to fly becuase it's really responsive. Another factor can be the quality of the sensors on the flight controller, oh and the settings of your controller if it has the capability to set sensotivities and auto leveling
+How We Make Things Appreciate the reply. Actually i figured out I had the board orientation off by 90 degrees. Corrected the orientation and now I can fly it. I still want to figure out how to make it "not so touchy" though. I fly it with a Taranis X9D Plus. Any insight appreciated!
how do you program the naze 32 with arduino software?
Can we use kk board
Bro can you tell me how can we program flight controller
how do you get the screws and the bullet connectors? are they included in one of the items in the list? are all the little wires included in an item?
+Mathieu Jobidon the bullet connectors are included with the motors, but not necessarily the ESC's. Most of the time they are. I bought a bag of male/female bullets. The little wires are for the receiver
thanks :)
What is the max range this drone can go from the controller?
Thank you man! I have confidence in building the exact one using the links you gave. Questions though:
1. Do I need to get my own banana plugs?
2. I have a Go Pro - what do you recommend for me to mount that? Or should I bypass the goggles and use the build 2 setup for the screen and figure out a way to record off that? I am a beginner.
Hey!
1. Yes you will need your own 2mm female banana plugs (Banggood: bit.ly/2aOnt4W) (Amazon: amzn.to/2ay9Ypi). I would suggest getting a couple of pairs. More than likely you will mess something up and have to shorten your connection or whatever. I've used 1/2 of my 50 pair pack.
2. Gopro mounting can be tough. You have two options: A) strap it directly to the frame B) hang it below the body on a gimbal. If you strap it to the frame you need vibration dampening or you will end up with tons of lines/waves/jitters in your video. So you can put foam down then strap the gopro on top of it with something like this: (Banggood: bit.ly/2aOni9V) (Amazon: amzn.to/2auSAy7)
The other option was a gimbal, this is actually really nice even to fly FPV through, but they get costly. I tested out a really cheap one: (BangGood: bit.ly/2auSINT) (Amazon: amzn.to/2avXnCu) and it was terrible!! It would randomly spaz out and flip to one side.
A note about goggles vs screen. The screen is much cheaper and easier to use. But its not as immersive of an experience. Goggles are way cooler!!
Anyway,s those are the 2 options. I hope that helps!
thanks again.
wonderful video .thank you.would have preferred if you had done the programming a little bit slower so i could understand a bit more.thanks once again.remember we are beginners ! !
Does all of the stand offs and other stuff come with the frame
+The Moose gamer all of the stand offs except the nylon ones I used for the FC come with the frame
ok thx
Hey i was wondering if there are any other options for a possible cheaper radio control transmitter?
The turnigy linked in the spreadsheet is the cheapest you can go. Typically a good transmitter runs between $100 and $250
okay i will pick it up thanks and great video :)
No problem!
thanks
Hey, I'm having a lot of trouble working w/ modes for adding an arm range to arm by switch, also adding horizontal & acro modes to my drone. I'm struggling on this Turnigy 9x due to my inexperience w/ modes, Aux, and mixing & was wondering if you could help me out somehow or refer me to a different tutorial or forum. I'm willing to pay to IM and get this resolved because my local hobby store (drone guy) is busy for weeks and I really want to figure this out asap. Any help, would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance!
+Oscar Rivera you want to arm the drone via a switch instead of holding yaw right? Is that what you are asking?
How We Make Things yes that was what I was asking, but I got someone to help out already. But if you have time I would like to be enlightened on how to add led lights to my drone. Is it as complicated as it seems? I simply soldered it to my pcb, since it's a strip with positive and negative. Where do I go from there, and if cleanflight. Is there a simple way to do it?😬 (Doubt it)
How We Make Things yes
one more thing my turnigy 9x arrived today and looks like the receiver is different it has Bind,Battery and 8 channels. also it only came with a bind cable no other cables to connect to the Naze 32. what are the other cables called?
+Dale Burrows so the 8 channels are a build deal they just are extra options for additional motors/controls, to fly a quad you only need 4 channels technically but receivers come with a min of 6 usually.
Usually the cables to connect the receiver to the Naze come with the Naze. Look up receiver 6 channel jumpers. Sometimes people call them servo motor jumpers
Awesome thanks mate
Hey I am building a drone off this video but I am using an x4r receiver. What type of wire should I use to connect the receiver and flip 32. Please respond.
Thanks,
Jack
Hey you have two options, you can either do 3 pin female to female jumpers bit.ly/2hxfLAf or you can use 1 pin female to female jumpers: bit.ly/2iFFNkV
how long does it take to get something from the banggood website i noticed its based in china so was curious on how long shipping takes to ship to the us
+Andy G I've had generally good experiences with Banggood. If you buy from the China warehouse it takes 2-4weeks usually. If you buy from the US warehouse it takes only about a week.
can you tell me where we can find the stand off for naze 32?????????/
The standoffs I had to source online: www.banggood.com/180pcs-M3-Nylon-Black-Spacers-Screw-Nut-Hex-M-F-Stand-off-Assorted-Kit-Box-p-1000806.html?rmmds=search?p=8Q12113516108201601L
I wasn't able to find them in local hardware stores.
can I use a cc3d flight controller bord. I live in South Africa and I can't find a naze32
+Etienne Dekock yea you can use cc3d. The setup process for the bird will be slightly different if you go to do thay
Was that video recorded over the 5.8ghz wireless link??
+MyNameIsMikeGG No that was recorded Go Pro Video. Speaking of, We hooked up the Gopro Hero4 Silver for FPV and it orked just fine. The issue of lag/delay is introduced if you record and transmit the GoPro video feed at the same time
how far the drone can go?
This looks great! How did you record/save the video from the drone?
+Yackdoy HD the video footage from the drone was from a GoPro I strapped to the top of it, but there are ways to record the video at your groundstation
ok cool. Whats the average flight time on it?
+Yackdoy HD if you fly it hard 5 minutes, if you are a little more chill 7
was the GoPro easy to strap on? I want to make a drone that I can race, but also take good videos with. :D
+Yackdoy HD the GoPro weighs the drone down A decent amount and offsets the center of gravity. I would say that it's better to get a nicer camera and record at your ground station
I've build the Drone : ) Do you know what battery I should use? and what charger? I'm a beginner so I don't want a $80 charger.. Thanks!
Here's the dealio about cheap chargers, they are dangerous! So if you want to get a cheap one, I would highly reccomend charging your batteries in the garage away from anything flammable. This is the one thatwe used that was really cheap: www.banggood.com/TITAN-B3-2-3Cell-7_4v-11_1v-Lipo-Battery-Balance-Charger-For-RC-Model-p-71284.html?p=8Q12113516108201601L
It cannot charge a 4S battery though, just 2S and 3S
You can check out this spread sheet for all of the parts we used. There are a couple different tpyes of batteries in there: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JMd0CcFWoLFMNBiWdIQWIyZlWzdelcfXdjtqQQHpfk0/edit#gid=0
Are those leds marked somehow? Not sure about colours... I just dont want to find i have red on front for example :D cant see it from banggood.
+Martin Kolář they are not marked, I just rested them with 5Volts to see which one was what color
thanks, and which colours are on this body? its not mentioned in product description. thanks.
+Martin Kolář white, green, red, blue
Please give me a favour
Do I buy Fat shark dominator or attitude v3
+Shivang Raturi it's really up to you. We have the attitude v3
Is there any way that you could add what each part is onto the spreadsheet?
The cost of the parts and their totals are already in the spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JMd0CcFWoLFMNBiWdIQWIyZlWzdelcfXdjtqQQHpfk0/edit#gid=0
How could we control the drone from a android phone? what other part should we get instead of the rc transmitter?
+Marouk10 I'm not sure, I've never done that before
is it possible to transmit the video to a laptop and cut the need to buy the expensive video googles?
and thanks for taking the time and making this video!
+Barel Levy you can buy a video receiver form Banggood for $40 which is listed in the spread sheet. It has RCA output for video so you can plug it into any TV
Thanks alot, if i could like the video twice i would :-)
Barel Levy :D
0:05 We have the exact same Van's shoes! xD
+layrad haha :)
can you also do stunts with this fpv drone and an it hold a go pro?
Btw very nice video ;)
+Criminal Tune yes you can do stunts. You'll have to configure your flight controller through clean flight configurator, something called PID controls how agile you are. Just google PID tuning. It can hold a GoPro, but it severely cuts back on maneuverability, so I would suggest a session if anything.
Thank you!! That's what I'm aiming for
+How We Make Things ok thats epic! I'll have to build myself one:) thanks for the answer ; )
What is the remote called nice video
TRANSMITTER - Turnigy 9x: amzn.to/21yHZra
as a beginner I dont need to buy the FPV goggles yet right? 300 is pretty out of the budget at the moment. Im also glad that the turingy is only 80 compared to other sites!
+Flovust as a beginner no, there are cheaper goggles, or you can even go with a little screen and a video receiver that is battery powered. I have them listed on the spread sheet under build #2. It's a cheaper option and I think better for beginners because you can switch between looking at the screen and looking at the actual drone really easily
im scrolling down for this question and answer. thanks!
can i use 30A ESC for 1300kv motor
or can i use 1806 2400KV Brushless Motor Simonk 12A 2-3S ESC 6030 propeller this?
+Ankit Chopra those are big props that might not fit on this frame, I'm not sure. The only thing that'll happen if your props are larger or more aggressively pitched is you will pull more power from the batteries and potentially burn your motors or ESC's. If the 6030's clear the frame though, you should be fine using them
Flysky FS-T6 V2 2.4GHz 6CH Transmitter-can i use this transmitter for the drone.
will you please suggest me as i am doing my very 1st drone!...
Absolutely love the video. I am going to make this exact drone however there are some broken links. These are the NAZE32 and the battery link. If you could please comment some working links I would be over the moon so I could build this. Thanks in advanced. (Subsriced and liked ;D)
Thanks for the link headsup! I fixed them. Note that the banggood link for the Naze32 Flip32 is a different board now. It is the Naze32 F3 which will also work, the difference is the type of connections you will be making. It doesn't come with pinouts already soldered onto the board. If that seems like too much trouble, then just follow the amazon link inside of the spreadsheet!
Throttle Calibration? But the tutorial is great!
What is the difference between the first and the second build?
+Cole Drinkwater the second build has a better frame and transmitter primarily. The motors and ESC's are the same.
how gets the flight controller it's power?
+DiyAquaPonics solid question. The flight controller gets power from the ESC wires that you plug into it. One of the wires is signal, ground and the other is 5volts. You can also power the flight controller directly by connecting it's 5volt rail (either where the ESC plugs in, or the dedicated 5V pin) to 5V power from the Power Distribution Board!
+How We Make Things aah nice, thanks for the clever ansfer ; )
+DiyAquaPonics no problem!
can you put gopro on it?
+Lucky you can yes, but it really weighs it down a lot. So you can't maneuver very well, and it burns your battery faster. But definitely, that's how I got the shots at the beginning of this video
Can you also record with this drone?
+Leon De Muynck you can record from your groundstation with the appropriate equipment.
Basically you need something that'll receive the signal that is transmitted from the drone and then records it to a drive. This is usually done independently of the goggles you are using, but I think some fatsharks allow you to record while you view
Thanks for the answer, how far is the signal to fly with the drone? How far can the signal go?
+Leon De Muynck that depends on what transmitter/receiver you get. Some of them are just line of sight and others can go upwards of 3/4 of a mile. The one I have in this build is more line of sight and tops out around 400 ft
How We Make Things with one do you command me? What do you prefer?
How We Make Things and how far does the fatshark goes ? And I want a transmitter with a much lager range so what do you recomment
i am going to build this
+Dreamer Let me know how it goes!
Why put the micro usb back so accessing it is difficult? Just rotate the board 90 degrees and set that in cleanflight.
+flamero Mainly because this is a supposed to be a "first time build". I wanted to condense the build process into the shortest and most straightforward walkthrough that I could.
That was actually one of the harder parts, deciding what I should put in and what to leave out
+Mitchell Dever yes the round antennas are called polarized antennas and are multidirectional antennas, better for FPV video when you are going in circular movements
Okay, I'm so sorry. I swear this is the last question. Im a knewby and I don't think straight exspecially when it's late at night. Is there a way to get a faster performance using the same exact setup like same esc's but have a faster motor? if so what wouod he the life time for the battery for faster motors? Also, is there just different props that could make it go faster. thanks, sorry again for too many questions wish there was just another way instead of spamming the chat :(
+Mitch D its fine, I don't mind helping out at all.
Yes there is a way to make it go faster with just this setup. get a 4S battery amzn.to/1VYoKYl and get these props amzn.to/1OvBIdJ.
There is a danger here though, and that is that you will burn your motors. These props are have an aggressive pitch to them and therefore will pull more current. The motors you have DYS BE1806 are only rated for 3S batteries but you can put 4S on them, you just risk burning them. So what you do is, put on the 4S battery and those 5045 bullnose props, hover, feel how hot the motors are getting, then do some up down accelerations and feel how hot they are getting. If you can hold your finger against them for 8 seconds then its fine, but if you cant, then it's too hot and you will kill your motors.
We have been flying with a 4S battery and 5045 bullnose on this setup for a white and its been fine. The power increase is awesome though!!!!
+Mitchell Dever I'm glad I can help, I am still going through the learning process and it's nice to have a community that knows what's going on.
As far as range, that is tough because you need both really long range transmission of your control signal (transmitter) and you need really long range Video. I haven't dabbled in either of those, so what I suggest doesn't have much ground. two things to note first. transmission frequency and power. Typically video is transmitted at 1.2Ghz or 5.8Ghz. 5.8Ghz can transmit more data but attenuates more while 1.2Ghz will typically have a longer reach.
Here is a 5.8Ghz video transmitter that operates at 600mW

as far as transmitters go, im not sure which are best for really long range, might be a good thing to search around for on reddit/r/fpv
you will need a camera for the tranmitter, yes. Can you link which transmitter you got? The problem usually arises when the connectors on the camera and the tranmitter are different, so you have to splice wires, that's kind of annoying.
Have you already ordered what you are going to use to view the video? Like goggles vs screen?
dang! Nice goggles, man! Those are sweet btw, you'll love them.
As far as Camera goes, I would suggest this Runcam: bit.ly/1WEQscG
its the same price on amazon: amzn.to/1OMLGHw
+Mitchell Dever the goggles should come with everything you need to set them up, unless you just bought the barebones goggles (I'll recheck the link).
Hooking up the FPV cam will probably take some connection work because I don't think they'll match.
Sure we can face time, shoot me an email at howwemakthings@gmail.com and we can work out the details
help, my right side of my motors doesn't work..
when you power it up with clean flight open? Try switching the wires of the right side motors with the left side to see if the motors are messed up or the your flight controller
+How We Make Things Thanks man! it works!
+DiyAquaPonics glad you could fix it!
HEY CAN I USE 2500KV MOTORS
+Ronan Seneviratne yea then they'll work
how much does it cost in total
+DeDennisGames somewhere in the neighborhood of $180 without FPV.
+How We Make Things ty
How much does it cost
+Kajus Vysniauskas check out the spread sheet it has all the parts info and links
You should really look into wire management. Looks like spaghetti in there! A decent pair of wire strippers should do the trick.
+frost you are right, the wiring is chaotic. But I did that for a reason, this is meant to be a beginners/easy plug and play build. So cutting the control wires and retrofitting them seemed like it was unnecessary for the sake of the video.
But for the drone ourselves, we are going to cut them down
what kit is this? Where did you get it? Please slow down a bit and slow down on talking. I did like your video but you should have opened with a shot of everything layed out so you could then explain what it was and where you could get it. I was lost right from the start.
Found your spread sheet.thanks. slow down......wheewh!
+scott firman check out the spreadsheet link in the description. The video is meant to be a walk through. The spreadsheet, is meant to give you an overview of what the bios has.
There is no kit, this was pieced together by myself and my brother. We spent a long time parsing through the available parts and aggregated the ones we thought best matched price with performance for a beginners drone
+scott firman just watch the video at 3/4 speed :D
how much does this cost?
+Dilshan Perera take a look at the spreadsheet I attached in the description. It's around $150-$300 depending on what you want
about how much would this cost?
+MLG Sloth check out the spread sheet in the description for a detailed price breakdown and links to the products
k thx
you aren't using a pdb isn't it?
+DiyAquaPonics the frame that I used has a PDB. It stretches along the length of the frame and it's what I'm soldering things to. It comes with the zmr250v2 frame
anyone price the entire build?
+Bobby Dixon I've got a spreadsheet in the description that does that for you!
And a frysky x9d tranmitter
+Shivang Raturi getting a nice transmitter is good if you plan on doing this for a while!
haha thanks brother all the other videos I found suck balls compared to yours!!!! thanks man do a 6 arm drone build :)
+Leo Velte hahah thank you!
Are all the parts for this drone in the discription
Yes they are. The best way to look at them and compare them is by referencing this spreadsheet I made with the prices and parts there: bit.ly/1rvRElP
You have skip the part how to power flight controller board, because there are 2 types of escs. Second, you haven't explained how to change the spinning directions of the motors
how much money you needed?
Check out the description I have a spreadsheet of the costs
Transmitter on first. Always.
to be fair.. this build has old things in it. not even blheli and f3 fc... and why not using prop nuts? just tighten them up
+Leon the motors came only in CW configuration so yea :/
AND FAT SHARK DOMINATOR HD
it's not pre sordered it's pre tinned
+team smelted Indeed
