WooHOO!! Feels fantastic to get to this point, and to hear JB say he's proud of me. :) I'm proud of me, too. Completed the build, and had a great first day of flying. After the fact, I had a realization about another benefit of DIY: Bothered by the routing of my O3 cable and a little 'tangle' hanging out the side of the FC -- I didn't have a MOMENT'S hesitation about grabbing the driver, removing the top plate, removing the FC and cleaning up the cable -- and had the whole build buttoned back up and ready to fly in just a few minutes time. The confidence of knowing EVERY detail about the assembly and custruction of the build, and exactly steps any process would entail - was something I haven't experienced with previous (either commercial DJI, or bind-n-fly) quads. Thanks again for all of the inspiration, information, and mentorship!

Changing to max power on your VTX is really important. My first time flying I went blind on my Tinyhawk 3 freestyle. I did it in BetaFlight Then came the walk of shame while I searched the area for my lost quad while neighbors laughed at me. I recovered the quad, downloaded betaflight and fixed the issue in minutes.

You are so awesome! I love you I love you I love you. This series was exactly what I needed, and came out just when all my parts were arriving. Even though I didn't have the kit you have in mind in these videos, you are incredibly educational throughout and I was able to figure out how to make mine work. I bought the wrong sized camera for the frame I have (I even tried really hard to match em up, lol), so for now only one side of the camera is screwed in. Still works just fine though :P. Upgrading from a whoop to one of these is like a golf cart to a supercar. The feeling of free falling upwards while in full control of which way you are looking is so unique and amazing. I was doing loops just looking at the ground and swooping out for an entire pack. Thanks again for the hard work you put into this content!! EDIT: After 3 weeks of ripping packs, I am so happy I got into this. One of the best and most freeing feelings I've had in a long time. Thank you Bardwell and everyone else in this community for being amazing humans and welcoming vs gatekeeping. Peace and love

Currently flying a couple Rotor Riot builds and I unfortunately been trying to fix some stuff and should’ve really finish watching the series before I tried replacing the battery lead in the capacitor. I wouldn’t of fried my ESC if that were the case. But I like learning things the hard way apparently. I hope you add the GPS and buzzer and more content to this playlist. It was really great.

Joshua, thanks for all the great work you do! I have only been flying a few months and started with 2 inch cinewhoops. Decided I wanted to start learning on a 5 inch and wasn't sure if 6s was the wrong move for a newer pilot but seeing you build a 6s for a first build tutorial is definitely making me feel better about the decision. I started with prebuilt drones, which I've already destroyed and rebuilt, so I feel like I learned all of these lessons in scattered order but went through this whole series start to finish and picked up a lot still. Feeling confident to put together my first drone from frame to flight.

Ive only been flying for about 2 months now and haven't flown larger than a 2.5 in. this was awesome thank you. One alternative to Loctite that we have started using in the firearms community is Vibratite. It sets faster and is intended to be reusable. Works great for our uses. Ill try it out on some of these drones now. Not sure if you wanted to try it out too Thanks again.

@joshuabardwell I want to say thank you for the series. Honestly took my dream of building a quad and made it a reality. However my quad decided to pop up wildly on preflight check. Is there a video you have done that will help me understand what to do next? Or why this is happening.
@JoshuaBardwell
10 ай бұрын
If the quad suddenly pops up in the air and then disarms when you arm, it is almost always one of these things. 1. Clockwise prop installed on counter-clockwise spinning motor or vice versa. Double check the motor direction is as expected and then double check that the correct prop is on each motor. 2. Flight controller not facing forward. Go to the Setup tab in the configurator. Tilt the quadcopter on all axes (pitch, roll, yaw) with your hands. The 3D model in the configurator should move the same as you move it with your hand. If it does not, use the Board Alignment parameters in the Configuration tab to fix it. Do not use the "GYRO/ACCEL" parameter. Use the "Roll Degrees", "Pitch Degrees", and "Yaw Degrees" parameters. 3. Motors not wired correctly. TAKE OFF YOUR PROPS. Plug in a battery. Go to the Motors tab. Use the "Reorder Motors" wizard to ensure that the motor order is correct. 4. Motor spinning wrong direction. Do the same as step 3 but use the "Motor Direction" wizard to ensure that all motors are spinning the same direction as shown in the diagram.

Sorry to hear about this. Always disarm immediately if you lose video, unless you are definitely experienced enough to recover another way.
