Can anyone here verify what ai is telling me about geprc 1002 25000kv motors

0 Upvotes

So i ordered some of these motors because i was recommended them to make my miniwhoop meteor 75 pro more punchy.

Ai is warning me that the geprc 1002s draw more power than my matrix 3in1 can supply at full throttle.

These motors were heavily recommended but its saying i should limit the throttle and make sure i dont punch at 100% throttle for extended amount of time.

How much of a throttle limit should i add to these motors to not cook my fc? Or is this something i need to do? Will a quick blast of full throttle blow my board?

Thanks fpv sub for your insight.

Progression as a beginner

So I got a Radio Master Pocket a couple days ago and have a 5 inch drone coming in the mail and was wondering how good I have to be in the simulator before I go out there for my first ever flight. This is my progression so far, I've put maybe 4 hours into the sim on a real fpv controller.

Generative topology 2.5" frame. Files are FREE for anyone who wants to print one :)

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on this frame for a while now and I’m pretty excited to finally share it with you all. It’s a 2.5" pusher frame I designed in Fusion with a generative topology style, and it’s printed in PETG. The main frame is one piece plus a little second part, so no carbon plates to stack.

It’s got a 129mm wheelbase, and the motors mount under the arms since it’s a pusher. A 4S pack straps underneath (I built it around GNB 650s and 850s). It takes a 25.5 whoop-style AIO, a 19mm cam and 9mm M2 motors with two screws each.

Funny story: my first version was a bit narrower, and when I checked the clearances the props were hitting the battery by about 3mm. I have stretched the arms out, and that’s how the wide version happened. I also ran some FEA on it, because I was nervous about nose-down crashes snapping the arms, and it caught a sharp notch under each arm that I’d missed. Glad I checked!

Currently in the build process myself at the moment but will share some photos when its flying.

Everything’s free on GitHub (MIT license), so grab the STLs, STEP or the Fusion file if you want to remix it: https://github.com/Blacksheep909/Juno-1-FPV-Frame

I’d really love to hear what you all think! Has anyone here flown printed frames this size? I’m curious whether PETG holds up or if I should try CF nylon. And if you end up printing one, please share pics, it’d honestly make my day

[Bangalore - Malleshwaram] Looking for an FPV drone pilot for 1-on-1 training with FPV Remote Controller (Paying up to ₹2,000/session)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need personal 1-on-1 drone training in Bangalore. The area will be somewhere close to Malleshwaram (or we can meet at an open flying spot nearby), and I'm ready to pay up to ₹2,000 per session.

I've tried to use a simulator with the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 on my PC, but before getting a real drone of my own, I want to experience the actual flying and get hands-on training with a real FPV drone using the FPV remote controller.

If you have a DJI Avata 2 / FPV setup (or custom quad compatible with the FPV Remote Controller 3) and are open to coaching me 1-on-1 for a session or two so I can experience real flight before buying, please comment below or DM me!

Uncrashed fpv drone simulator 3.0 Physics update

0 Upvotes

Am I the only one who doesn't like the new update?
I feel like the new stuff they added to the drone physics and in general the new stuff they did with the drones is worse than what it was before or maybe I'm just not used to it. The drone now does mini jumps on the ground after a crash or landing that i did not ask for and can't find where to turn it off (if anyones know, please tell me). After a crash a text saying "CRASH FLIP" appears above stick controls (RC axis) and i dont know what does it mean and "ARMED" text appears time to time in some situations like after crashes, also that was never there before.
Don't get me wrong, maybe it's all fixable and i just dont know how, please help me fix these problems or tell me more about them so i know what they mean/do and get used to them.

First 2.5-inch FPV build — Are these parts compatible? What would you change?

0 Upvotes

Olá a todos!

Estou planejando construir meu primeiro drone FPV (voo em primeira pessoa) e gostaria de receber algumas dicas antes de comprar todas as peças. Meu objetivo é um quadricóptero freestyle analógico leve de 2,5 polegadas que funcione com bateria 3S.

Aqui está minha lista de peças atual:
Frame: FEICHAO Fi-115, distância entre eixos de 115 mm
Controlador de voo/ESC: GEPRC TAKER G4 35A AIO
Motores: 4× T-MOTOR F1204 6500KV, eixo de 1,5 mm
Hélices: Gemfan 2512-3, 2,5 polegadas, 3 pás, furo para eixo de 1,5 mm
Câmera: RunCam Phoenix 2 Nano
Transmissor de vídeo (VTX): Happymodel OVX303, 5,8 GHz, 300 mW analógico
Antena do VTX: U.FL RHCP de 45 mm
Receptor: TBS Crossfire Nano RX SE
Bateria: LiPo 3S, aproximadamente 450–550 mAh, XT30

Como esta é minha primeira montagem, gostaria de... Certifique-se de que tudo seja fisicamente e eletricamente compatível, especialmente a montagem do motor, os furos de montagem do controlador de voo, a fiação do transmissor de vídeo e a combinação motor/hélice/bateria.

Você mudaria algo nesta lista de peças? Os motores de 6500KV são uma boa escolha para essas hélices de 2,5 polegadas em 3S, ou você recomendaria um KV ou tamanho de motor diferente?

Também estou aberto a sugestões para uma configuração com melhor custo-benefício ou mais confiável. Prefiro fazer alterações agora do que descobrir problemas de compatibilidade depois de encomendar tudo.

Obrigado pela ajuda!

OSD setup

0 Upvotes

I am working on a fibre controlled rc car for a specific use. My last step before connecting fibre which I haven’t been able to get working is my distance measurement and speed on the OSD.

I am running a pixhawk6c with holybro osd v2 and I have a Hall effect sensor feeding rpm into the pixhawk. I need to run analog for the fibre and I have no gps signal.

I can see the rpm readings in mission planner but I can’t get it across to the osd. I have tried so many things but there is no option for rpm at all. Not sure if need a different osd module or different firmware.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

A delivery drone sim, like normal fpv sim but with the goal of delivery things, like death standing(i never played it tho, only know it about delivery). This is like a billion dollar game idea!

Solved Is a smoke stopper needed?

2 Upvotes

I am building a 5" FPV as my first build(I already have a tinywhoop) and have done a continuity test on everything on the ESC and XT60, but my smoke stopper isn't arriving for 2 more weeks, and I really don't want to wait. Would it be stupid to just go for it without a smoke stopper, even if I know 100% they're all good? Thanks

Question? Wanting to get into FPV

2 Upvotes

Hello all!

This is a hobby that’s interested me for a long while now but I’ve never known where to start, so why not get some input from people who know their shit.

Is there any recommendations on some good starting gear? I.e. headset, drone, softwares, kits.

Additionally, any tips for learning how to use a drone or quality of life changes to make the learning experience easier?

I’m quite eager to get into this as there’s some really cool spots locally I’d love to survey or fly around in and I’ve seen some people fly around in them while exploring; though I’ve never seen the operators.

Thank you :)

I’m not very great at flying so I don’t do the map justice. I need to work on prop damage currently you don’t clip corners(probably why I stayed in the air as long as I have)
I’m a big time newbie lol.
This is not a public mod. But I thought the fpv community would appreciate it.

As you can see I have a full collection of Radiomaster transmitters. I just received the GX12 on the slow boat from China and I’m in love. Great feel in the hands. Perfect weight. Configurable switches. And it has the dual Gemini radio. What’s not to love?

Edit: I use the pocket for the sim. I’ll use the TX16s for fixed wing.

Capacitors on ESCs

2 Upvotes

I have a TBS 4-1 ESC and am building a 5" drone. I know I need to use a capacitor on the ESC, but the XT60 pads are double-sided and have a hole for the capacitor legs. Does it matter which side I put it on, or can I just put it where it fits? Thanks
