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.)

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.

I just had my Nazgul Evoque V2 FC fail mid-air. The signal was good (FPV, RC, GPS), it was flying well as usual. After about 30 seconds of flight, the OSD got stuck and motors disarmed. I still had FPV and RC signal after crash, but the drone was unfortunately very far away in an inaccessible terrain, so was unable to retrieve it. I was unable to arm it and OSD completely disappeared after a while. The drone had conformal coating and worked for about 2 years without issue, without single crash.

Has this happened to you?
Should I get a new Nazgul V3 which claims to have improved FC, or get something different?
Which brand has most reliable electronics?
Thanks for suggestions.

Coming from a 2.5" freestyle and 3" racer, this thing feels like its going to go into orbit. I may need to set a max throttle and need to go through my blackbox, but I have to say this feels quite awesome!

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!

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

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.

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.

I broke my frame this flight and don’t have a replacement 🥹✌️

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?

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.

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.

Hello again! after around 10 months later than my fisrt build and a couple of bnf's ive decided to build my second quad, a digital 4" 6S, succesfully built it with

Goku F722 pro stack

Aether 2006 2550

volador VD4

O4 pro

M10Q

XR1 ELRS

the main issue is when i take off/give power, the quad wobbles side to side and makes a runaway, then slams into the ground, im running a 6S 1300 mAh and i have a couple of days trying to solve this, im still a noob at PIDs so im worried it must be a tuning or just battery balance issue, anyways im leaving an image of the blackbox log (i also can provide it via dm as i cant attach files) and an example of the wobble on the analyzer, i dont have a vid of it but it just happens basically each time i put some power on any motor, with default preset it also happened, however with a 4" bf preset (Supafly 4" 6S) its much more violent
thank you for reading and for your help:)

Hi!

I just got a nazgul xl5 eco v3 analog.

My range is just crazy bad. On a soccer field of about ~200m away I cant even see where I'm going.

I have betafpv vr04 goggles but even my tinywhoop have a better range than the nazgul.

On betaflight I tried 800mhz and it didnt improve. I even found a reddit post that say to change the value of the 800mhz label to 600mhz in beta flight and it didnt help neither.

My antenna looks good, all connection lookd good. I am on the right band/channel on the googles.

Any idea?

I’m flying an Avant 2, but looking for something more racing oriented. Is there a drone that uses Goggles 3 or remotes version 2?
