This build takes a completely different approach from what I'm used to. Follow along as I go through struggle street to create the best performing 5" fpv freestyle drone, from motor selection, to designing a frame, finding a battery and electronics.

this was the greatest ummagawd video i have ever seen and i want those motors
That it’s cause u came late to the party ... and u where looking nurk channel for shure
Great vid! Totally agree, love the weight of 5 inch freestyle.. a scaled down fs rig would be ideal 🤩..
Ha. Same thoughts...
@Barack Obama greatest president to ever live thank you for your service to our country sir.
@Del Halley if you've got something to say about him address the man himself... I mean he took the time to come comment in this youtube comments section, a real man of the people.
That had had my attention like a Netflix show. And you ended it on a cliff hanger 😱😱😱Now got to wait for the part 2. 😂😂😂
lol glad you enjoyed it
The future (like it or not) is sub250g and I've been saying that for quite a while already. Can't wait to see what you've come up with Tommy, as soon as I can afford to I'll buy into these motors, props and whatever frame you come up with. Sounds groundbreaking for all those who want to go sub250 without moving down to smaller frames. Great work man!
I am sure the FAA will be as effective in banning drones over 250g as California is effective at banning guns. Meaning not at all.
In Europe if its sub 250g but "has a sensor" it still needs to be registered... Ans you need a license.
I don't see why anyone thinks the 250g limit will hold. They want you out of the air, it's not like they care about the size or safety, they just want you out.
@@cinialvespow1054 What is "a sensor"? An accelerometer is a sensor. A gyro is a sensor. You guys need to push back. Remember... governments are not your master, they are your servant -- they work for YOU. Don't be bullied!
@@xjet well said. I don't see what can be done though. Saying the government is your servant may be beautiful but it doesn't feel like that's actually true.
I wonder if their classification of sensor / camera includes the fpv cam you use to see, as its not taking photos.
How are we meant to make it better
@@cinialvespow1054 Their defintion of "sensor" includes any camera, even if it's not recording and just "streaming" (FPV). Even if you had no cam but a microphone, you'd need registration. The exact wording is: "a sensor able to capture personal data".
Btw: You don't have to register the quad, but yourself as a pilot. You then get an ID and have to put that on any of your quads that require registration.
I don't know about anyone else... but I learned a lot here and can't wait for the next one. Thanks Tommy
🤙🤙🤙
Love the story telling format. Really engaging and learnt a lot about the process. Can't wait for part 2!
This is pure gold. The smiley face unit should officially be SI. Thanks Tommy for your work!
Yes! More r and d videos please. Amazingly fascinating and entertaining
Wow, don't care about the motors, it is the production value that got me. You are a talented individual sir
I'll take that! thank you
wth, this was THE BEST vid I have seen the last moths. In my country (The Netherlands) the EU laws are getting in place, they do make things easier but the 250 gram is really a turningpiont in what you are alowed to do and what not. I was really getting into fpv 2 years ago, spent a year on learing everything and for what to lookout for in fpv, bought 1 year ago the tinyhawk s, spent a year flighing that., its an awesome tinywhoop. Now I have made up my mind, I want to go into racing... So first, I need a spot to fly, very important! So I have 3 places where I could fly/race, but there is a chance that some people are going to hear and see it, so I need to keep the rules to play it safe and not risk fines. But back to the piont, max 250g is really a save weight to not get fined and still have all the fun that FPV quads bring. So I have been looking for parts to build a fpv racing quad for the last year, still getting more info on what to look out for. So I have a racing setup now, only need to buy the parts and looking for the right props... But now I think, I dont gonna spent 300 on a quad and have to buy 6 lipo's for getting the risk getting in trouble... So max 250 is I think now from now on my new focus piont to study on.... (still dont have a 5 inch quad) But I love to see more of these kind of vids to study on what parts to buy and to look out for... Also I might start looking for study vids on the combination of props and motors, I dont have seen much vids on that subject, but it is a very important factor on how your quad will fly in the end. Anyway, thanks for the info and the awesome vid!
Lol. Those phone calls actually went down exactly like that. “We need the frame for the 2004 motors... never mind we can test with the moongoat... just kidding, we need a frame to test these motors...”
so good ! cant wait for futures episodes !!
Tommy this is why we love you!!!! Awesome Job, awesome video!!!!
what a great first episode of the new series. friggin love it
This is such a good detailed explanation. Good stuff
Thanks man. It’s good to see you back
Thank you for your service to the community! This may be our only choice next year
This is going to be 🔥!
the best video yet. awesome story
EPIC video, thanks Tommy. Looking forward to the next one.
BEST FPV VIDEO / STORY EVER !!! LOVE IT!!!
Absolutely brilliant!! 👍👍
This is awesome!
can't wait to see the final build!
Man i never knew you put so much effort in this hobby keep up this nobel work love it. Im fairly new to this hobby i saw you on a DR1 episode 🥰👍
DR1 !?! dang that must have been back in circa 2016
When will you finish your quad i mean this build i desperately waiting to see
I appreciate being able to see the process. I know you have a ton of design/R&D under your belt so it was cool watch. Thanks Tommy.
I love the vid! The info you shared regarding your R&D process is golden!
Awesome! waiting for the next part.
It was great, well done!
Loved the style of this video!!
Awesome video.. can't wait for pt2.
This video style is actually EXCELLENT!
Awesome! You the man! Made my day! Looking forward to the future of fpv a lot more now!
SO FUN TO WATCH! keep up the great content Bru!
Excellent video. Love the refreshing content. Keep it coming.
Amazing video! Love the style!
this video is bloody brilliant had a smile on my face the whole time, keep this going bro, im following on
Appreciate all the work and effort you put into the hobby! Thanks for sharing... Excellent work!
This was great. Love hearing the process and the edit was 🔥🔥
🤙 thanks man
Love the video! It feels like you are taking us on the journey with you. Very enjoyable to watch and can't wait till the next video drops. Keep up the great work Tommy!
What an unique way of looking at the problem. Maximum fun. Looking forward to your final solution.
This is great. A lot of innovation going on in the hobby right now.
AWESOME. Thanks for looking ahead on all possible restrictions we might have to face and documenting the process!
this is a great video Tommy. It's great to see your design ideas/process/challenges being told. I am definitely wanting to test this out now too. Looking forward to part 2 and how things pan out.
Loved this video!! 💚
As a drone newb, I loved this video. It actually taught me a decent amount while not putting me to sleep.
Awesome! Love it. Thanks for doing a video like this.
great video!!! would love to see more videos like this in the fpv world
Awesome video, keep them coming
That was extremely well done Tommy. Loved it.
Enjoyed this a lot, but my only question is: Why develop in a bubble? It seems like you are ignoring all the other options in the last 5-6 months that use this same formula. Its cool to see the entire process, but especially frame wise, there are 3-4 options that i have reviewed that could have saved you some time. Noteably the DaveC mini long range 5" and the CMW Shocker lite.
Cant wait to see the end result, and how it compares to the existing options. And it is also cool to see all the considerations that go into developing these solutions.
Soooo, I am super hyped , and the way you tell a story is awsome! ur narrative is great! KEEP IT UP!
Very well done! 👍
Epic video !!!!!
dude this was fire!!
PROPS!!! Thanks for sharing... Great mix of micro motor elements into the design... Love the idea of designing a motor and custom prop for this. thats one way to solve a possible regulatory problem.. and be closer to what we all know and love with standard 5 inch quads.
Bro, this was a super fun video to watch! Can't wait to see how everything turns out
So good! Your greatest video yet man! Looking forward to the next one!
thanks Wynn!
This style of video was excellent. Loved the storytelling
Can't wait to see the results. Great episode! 🔥🔥🔥🤙
Once again Tommy at his Best !! Love your ideas man !!
This video was sooo F’ing good! I was emotionally invested the whole way through. Please make more!
This was awesome video. Can’t wait to see how this turns out.
Really enjoyed this style of video. Funny, informative and really cool to see a little behind the scenes of development. Can’t wait for the next part.
i loved this one! Hope this project works
thank you. You answered my prayers. Definitely getting a set for my 360 build
Tommy, thanks for filling us in bro! Sure do miss ya being around more, but very proud of what you have been doing as of late!
Yeah this was very entertaining lots of fun !
I absoutly love this vid! Was dying at the motor rich b roll lolol! Keep up the great content and can't wait to see the frame!
You sir, are one of the most genius minds in the fpv game.
🙏🤓🤙
Love it! Keep it up ❤
Loved the video man!!
Great video,
lots of fun,
obviously had my gears turning.
can't wait to see what you come up with in part 2.
Video format: awesome
Awesome video love the editing.
Freakin amazing!
Absolute genius Tommy!!!
Now that’s content that just raised the bar for everyone creating for the fpv community.
Well done 👍
The best part of this is making "Mag Motors" modelled after your favorite wheels. When your drone matches your car ...well, let's just say ... you are complete.
such an amazing experience. sign me up for those motors man !!! can't wait for the second part
Super funny video.. Can't wait for part 2...
Build looks good
Man you are such an asset to FPV. Such an innovator over the whole range from whoop sized to 5" durable
Thanks man
Keep your style goin!!! Awesome way to show this process!!! Can’t wait for the next episode!!!
9:15 man tommy, what a throwback! my first quad was a ZMR250 on 3S with 5030 props, over 5 years ago now and I thought it was the greatest thing ever! It's amazing not only how far we have come, but that we've come full circle too!
lol yup! I never thought I'd be looking at motors that size for 5" these days
@@ummagawdFPV i know right?! idk about you but it just blows my mind. Also, in a somewhat related note I think you might be somewhat on the wrong track with a sub250 freestyle build, you seem to not be taking around the mass of the quad relative to prop disk area into account. Part of the reason toothpicks fly like toothpicks is because of their relatively low mass relative to the area of the prop disks, you can see this by comparing how say.... a 2" vs a 3" toothpick at similar masses fly. I'm sure your 5" sub250 will fly great when it's done, but it makes me wonder: What would happen if we came up with a 3.5" prop based quad built around a target AUW of 248g?
Either way, keep up the good work Tommy!
That was rad.
Loved the video
Excellent video! Informative and fun! And those motors! 🔥
Beautifully done. Looking forward to the finished product/sequel.
love these videos, very fun! :)
Thanks T. Looks good so far. Can't wait to see what comes of this.
Sub 250g is what I want. 😉👍
Very interesting and exciting journey. Love your Acrobrat frame and Brat motors. Can't wait to see the rest of the story. 💖🤓
Great Video .... fun to watch and learn a lot at the same time....Keep mixing it up...
this is great and cool to see your development path! Keep it up!
That was amazing!
Awesome video!
Duuuuude, I really liked this video, keep them up !!
