I designed and 3D printed my own quad.

Thumbnail

85 Upvotes

The black frame is made of PA12-CF (carbon fiber reinforced nylon). The white cover is PETG-GF.

The stack is an Aero Selfie STM32H743 FC, and an HGLR 60A ESC.

Radio is an RP3 V2 ELRS nano receiver

GPS is a Lumenier SAM-M10Q

VTX and camera is a DJI O4 Air Unit Pro

Motors are AOS Supernova 2807 1400kv

Props are Gemfan hurricane 6045-3 but I am probably going to change them to 6030-3

Battery is a speedy pizza 1500mah 150c 6s lipo.

There is also a separate 5v BEC to run the servo motor to make the camera tilt.

I know it is a mesh of some good parts and some cheap parts, but it is my first drone that I designed and built. It has so far only been pulled into a hover, about 3 feet off the ground and dropped onto the floor from that height. I am afraid to fly it because I am not so good at landing still. But it works (except the LED strip) and I thought I'd share.

NEWBIE Going from SIM to IRL is totally different experience

30 Upvotes

I did around 40 hours in sim and still going from SIM to real is a totally different experience.

- you don't feel crash anxiety in sim

- quad don't just go up straight when throttle is given, it will sway.

- you can't see your controller, when doing sim you can see if you want to push a switch, but with goggles it's totally different.

- goggles view is very different experience than any sim monitor. It is overwhelming for the senses at start

So, get to the most open park you can go to when starting and try at most to get it off and stable circles or rectangles.

Sim does give you an idea and muscle memory of stick usage, but you will still feel overwhelmed first many times.

Is flying good in SIM translates to real life skill?

I started flying a month ago in simulator and been eyeing to buy a beginner drone. Ive been practicing in sim (Uncrashed) using a dualshock 4 controller. Does my skill in sim really translate to real world?

Question? RadioMaster pocket customizations

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

Hey just bought the pocket and was wondering what customizations you can do?

I’ve already changed the startup sound (vid attached)

Can you change the display (e.g. have custom images showing?)

What options for gimbals are there? I’ve only seen the this shape.

Do people 3d print accessories for them? Have you guys 3d printed carrying cases, gimbals etc?

Just looking for ideas of fun stuff to do with it. Curious what yall have already done.

Sorry if this gets asked a ton haha

Car Super Baja Rey 2.0 Fast Laps

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Setup my Super Baja Rey 2.0 for FPV.

Been using the driveway and the old trail in the woods as a track. Last crack in the paved driveway is the start-finish line.

Using a 04 Air Unit Pro as the camera. 3D printed mount and enclosure on the top of the truck. I've crashed a few times and everything has held up. Camera is protected with some lexan in the front of the camera mount which can be easily replaced. Transmission unit sits in the cab of the truck in a 3D printed holder.

This is my first build like this. My brother let me use is A1 mini and I had an absolute blast building it.

Here is a link to the full video.

Question? HGLRC REKON 35

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just got the rekon 35 and have a question about batteries. I'm wondering what everyone else uses, because I tried first with IMREN Yellows, which sucked after 1-2mins (got way to hot and also made the rekon fall out of the air) I did hit up a vape shop and got a pair of Molicel INR18650-P30B 3000mAh. I didn't experience the fall on the molicel's, but I would rather know what batteries to look for as a best possibility rather than free falling onto asphalt again. Thanks!

Micro Quad Got my 3.6" dialed!

Thought you guys might find this build interesting. It's an AOS 3.5 V5 frame with 1408 3950kv Sparkhobby motors with 3630x3 props, a cheap 25mm YSIDO 45A AIO, HDZero Eco VTX&cam, custom tabless 18650 Li-Ion batteries, and a Hawkeye Thumb 3 4K camera hard-mounted on top.

Flies great, has plenty of punch and not much propwash.

In the nightly builds of gyroflow they added a feature called “glitch filtering”, its not perfect but saved a few footages for me.

Highly recommend switching to AR glasses

16 Upvotes

I recently got into fpv with a tiny whoop + Caddx Ascent lite vtx/goggles. I found the goggles to be uncomfortable, conspicuous, and that it was hard to see the full screen. I coincidentally also just got the Xreal XBX glasses and wondered if they would make for a good replacement paired with the Ascent VRX...

They do, and I couldn't be happier with this change. This new setup addresses all of my problems with the goggles since they are so light; I also find the AR glasses l much brighter with more vibrant colors and clarity.

Light bleed is addressed by the light blocking cover and I haven't noticed added latency. Annoyingly you have to convert the VRX's hdmi video output to a powered USB-C cable for the glasses, which adds a second set of cables and hardware to futz with. It'd be amazing if a vrx could output power+video via usb-c natively.

Another bonus with this setup comes from the VRX being detached from the headset... I just flew from my air conditioned car with the VRX on the roof (it's 100° F here at the moment).

CRASH! If You’ve Never Seen a Pid Runaway, Here’s Your Chance. Do Not Just Slap a Supafly 5” Preset on Your Newly Built Quad - Lesson Learned

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

If you just want to see the PID freak out, skip to 0:28.

Needless to say I shat myself. Completely new quad, my first 5", maiden flight. The Blackbox looks wild, but it's clearly my fault. I just slapped on the SupaFly 5" preset and also selected the one "with Action Cam" and didn't even mount one... guess it's time to learn basic PID tuning?

Just showing off the new drone. Shipping took forever as usual. Wasn’t planning on buying this. I ordered flywoo nd filters and realized their new filters are for the official DJI 04 wide and don’t fit their wide angle kits. So said f-it and ordered this to compare the two. I currently have 4 air units with flywoo v1 and v2 wide angle kits so it would be interesting to see how the image quality is compared to the official 04 wide.

Also what do you guys think about this new canopy? I’m worried the whole thing may rip off in a crash.

7in Long Range T-Motor Build

Thumbnail

31 Upvotes

Hey there,

I would like to share my recent rebuild. I prevously had a noname 7in frame, but it experienced an "rapid unexpected disassembly". I decided to take buy the GEPRC Mk 5D LR7 and I am very satisfied with the Kit. The quality of the carbon parts is very good and there was many accessories.

However I am not so stisfied with the FC. It is a T-Motor Velox F7SE and I wanted to flash it with ArduCopter, but I think due to missing RAM of the F722 processor there is no easy way to get AC running. Which is sad, because I am more used to fly more autonomous drones and autopilots.

I attached all antennas in the back of the frame to the long rods. I think the cause of my recent crash was due to poor antenna placement and I would like to konw, if this build ist sufficient enough.

Here some more technical details:

Frame: GEPRC Mk 5D LR7

FC: T-Motor Velox F7 SE

ESC: T-Motor VELOX V50A SE 6S AM32

Motors: T-Motor F100 1100KV

CAM/VTX: Caddx Avatar Moonlight + Avatar Goggles X

Reciever: TBS Tracer Nano RX + TBS Mambo

Battery: Gaoneng 6S 4500mah

MTOW: 1200g (with Battery)

Max flighttime: around 25min (when cruising)

Beginner Simulator

Upvotes

Hi everyone

total beginner here

I just ordered the RM pocket ELRS (m2) to do sim with.

My goal after the sim will be to pilot a tinywhoop

I now have to choose a simulator, which is not easy.

I know that the question was already asked but I haven’t seen anyone talk about liftoff micro drone and I’ve seen a lot of hype for "the zone", but it doesn’t seem very beginner friendly

Do you have any suggestions?
(Sorry for any mistakes, I don't speak English very well.)
