Heya JB! While I haven't built this kit, it looks awesome. I have already recommended it to a couple of folks that were asking about how to get into this hobby. :) Thanks for everything you do! I'd have had a LOT more difficult time getting into this without your incredibly informative videos.

I'm gonna tell you how good JBs videos are. I've been building long enough that I don't really need to watch. So why was I glued to all (5) videos in this series? Frankly on the off chance I might learn one more nugget - and in this case I realized that I don't add strain relief to my power cables. The second, and most important reason, is that its just fun to hang out with and hear JB explain it in his way. Honestly, I just get inspired with the enthusiasm. Fantastic sign off too!!

I was just going to say (mostly) the same. In my case, the nugget was that yaw works in turtle mode; for 3-ish years, I've used it with pitch and roll, but never thought to push the yaw stick. Knowing that would have potentially made the video that I'm currently rendering mostly obsolete (spoiler: I spent over a week getting a quad out of a tree and had to "invent" a tool to help me do so.) Not sure if turtle mode on yaw would have _necessarily_ helped, but it could have. Now I know for next time 🙂

Been in this hobby for over 4 years now and just realised what a game changer has it been in my life, maybe in small and subtle ways but in a way for sure.

Bought kit, followed tutorial, could barely solder, stripped screws, couldn't flash with the EdgeTX passthrough, decided it needed the Medlin Drone FPV gimbal, followed that video too, got all that CLI code wrong a million times, finally everything is working, I maiden the drone fly for 5 minutes, become disoriented, failsafe, drone crashes, FC is fried, reorder that thing, and rewatch the entire bit about configuring the FC. Finally it's all working again and I've ordered parts to build another drone from scratch because if I crash this one I at least would like to fly another one while I wait for parts. 10/10 would highly recommend! JB's videos are the only reason I even attempted this, I'd have been so lost in the sauce without these as reference, even though my build didn't go exactly like the video it was enough for me to use the right terminology and go looking in the right places to get the results I wanted (minus the bad piloting).

Thank you for all you do for this community! I love your closing thoughts, I think that if I had the whole picture of just how challenging this hobby is before I started, it would have scared me off. However, jumping in not knowing what I was getting into and addressing those issue and challenges one at a time as they kept coming has been so immensely rewarding. I can't wait to build my first 5 inch quad almost half a year after watching 14 minutes of Steele trying to dive a ladder, finding freestyle, and realizing that FPV was more than just DRL and racing.

Great again as usual. One other thing I do when battery mounting is to insure to position the battery to balance the center of mass so that the weight balance point is aligned with the center of the X frame. A poorly out of balance quad either too front or aft heavy will require those motors to work harder in level flight and such will reduce your maximum speed. The speed will be constrained by the most demanded motor(s) upper limits.

The new build, using the QAVS frame is head and shoulders better than the first XILO frame and build. This quickly became my favorite frame last year, followed closely by the Moxy (Bubby) from rotor riot. The bubby is indestructible. This frame is a pseudo copy of the apex, which is twice as much. I made a video (bitchy and whiny) about bardwell pushing his first drone package, which really wasn't great, but reluctantly went to his 'ultimate freestyle build' which this ended up copying (sort of) and it was head and shoulders better. I don't agree that the best way to learn to fix your drone is to build your own initially. It is too much for most beginners, but when you do decide to build a drone, this is an excellent option.

Hey Joshua, your videos are really helpful and informative for me as a beginner. Thanks for that! I've just started getting into FPV and decided this drone to be my first build since I don't really know about compatibilities with the FC, ESC, motors, etc. and wanted to get to know my first drone inside out in case something goes wrong :D But I've got two questions right now: I bought the Taranis X9 Lite S and wondered if I should go with the XM+ receiver to just get started for now or if I should rather get the ELRS module for the radio and ELRS receiver to have it easier to follow the tutorial and get into things? The second question is if I could change the receiver from the XM+ to the ELRS later or is that not possible? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me ^^

@ghiyatshisyam
2 жыл бұрын
Missing an ESC? The amount of available ESCs does not match what the flight controller is reporting. This can have multiple reasons: The ESC was not ready yet. This can for example happen if it is playing a melody. Also a previous flash could have gone wrong and it needs longer to boot up than usual. There are simply not more ESCs connected. The MCU of the ESC is defective. Try a different USB cable - sometimes they are not properly shielded and might result in such errors. Should your radio be turned on, try again after switching it on. Switched on radios have been reported to cause issues with electro-magnetic interference and thus failed reads/writes. If the result is not what you are expecting, try clicking the 'Read Settings' button again.

@Joshua Bradwell Hi, I’m having trouble with burning up the right rear motor. I was doing initial flight and was able to cover for about 90 seconds but then dropped the throttle to quickly and landed on the back right corner and that sent the motor up in smoke. I ordered two new motors and was just doing some more test flights and made it about 5-7 minutes when I came down and did the exact same thing. Any thoughts? Bit more info, this is my first quad copter away from the DJI Mavic, which practically flies for you lol so it could just be newbie mistakes!
