First time designing something from scratch for 3D printing, surprisingly wasn't a complete disaster. Not sure if it's a 'good' design (it's certainly rudimentary) but at least I got everything to line up. Going to drill another pair of holes in the white part for the front pair of absent bolts.

Certainly don't dump them, they'll fly just fine.

It's an airsoft site, if you have anything similar near you it's well worth approaching them - they'll often have an odd afternoon when they have staff on site doing maintenance/prep but not running games & will likely be more than happy to let you fly around then if you offer to each chip in £10.

Oh btw blue ones are SMA, red ones are RP-SMA. Banggood sell both.

>That's not an Aomway.

That one's an Aomway, I have some of the Realacc ones as well which I'm pretty sure are from the same OEM even though some people claim they perform better. Been flying them for at least 9 months now, solid signal & super durable. Everybody I know that has flown pagodas says they're great until they take their first proper smack then they suck.

If you're talking about lifting 1.1kg then 4S is probably the minimum you should be thinking about.

And you should definitely be building yourself for this sort of project.

>>1196054
Nah. My 650 setup (>>1194536) was substantially less than that with a Pixhawk, separate telemetry radio & a gimbal. If you're going for a racing/freestyle build with a regular $30 flight controller, no telemetry radio, no gimbal, etc. it won't be ludicrously more expensive than a regular miniquad. Batteries will obviously be more expensive though.

I mean, people fly 1000mm class drones (which will easily heft a 1kg payload) in a similar fashion.

You can definitely notice a difference, but the extra weight doesn't make them fly 'worse'.

If you mean in the sense of not having to balance the torque of the tail motor with the front, then I think you're right. The 5-motor 'dragonfly' design can be implemented by splicing the ESC signal wires of the front pairs of motors so the flight controller still thinks that it's an tricopter & only has 3 motor outputs.

>>1194885
Maybe, but if broken props becomes an issue it's quicker to just put DAL props on.

Not broken one so far, landing on level soft ground & disarming quickly. Taking off is more of an issue, because if the bottom prop is blocked it can't take off.

I meant transmitter, I was just saying 'controller' as that's what a lot of people new to the hobby tend to call their transmitter.

It's just an alternative to using goggles. I use it when I'm flying my E010 indoors with other people around, as it lets other people watch & makes me more approachable to strangers. I also use it with my 650 as well to frame the video whilst I fly it largely LOS. But for flying freestyle I always use goggles.

It's more down to the controller than the quad itself. Many of these cheap micro brushed quads are incredibly hard to fly properly with their included tiny controllers, but fly remarkably well on a 'proper' controller. Case in point, I struggle to keep an Eachine E010 in the air with its included controller (what do you expect for $15 I guess) but when I bind it to my Taranis it flies like a dream.

I explained that it is useful on other boards & that removing it to post on this board represents extra hassle as it prefills in the reply form. So unless there is a good reason to do so, why should I bother?

It seems to me that there is simply the usual minority of immature posters who immediately jump on anybody posting with a trip as 'cancer', even if all they have done is contributed to a thread.

I recommend that you & anybody else in this thread that seems to get so irked by it just filters out my posts.

It only happens when you spin up the motors while on the ground, as soon as you're off the ground it stops. I was concerned the first time I saw it, but it turns out it's a normal quirk with this frame.

Why does it matter if it's useful here? I'm not going to go to the extra effort of deleting it from the prefilled reply form every time I post unless there is a legitimate reason to do so. Your childish "tripfags aren't welcome" stance doesn't count.

>You're not familiar with the Runcam2, are you? It's every bit as fast as a board cam.

The discussion/tests that I remember seeing all found the latency to be >100ms, so still a long way from board cam territory.

The general rule of thumb is that higher voltage (eg 6S instead of 4S) & larger props on slower motors (eg 15" on 380kv instead of 13" on 780kv) is how you get the most efficiency for a given build.

Remember that it's Chinese New Year, so banggood orders may well get delayed.

For smaller stuff, anecdotal community knowledge is usually all you need - nobody building 210 size racing/freestyle quads bothers with any sort of simulation.

For bigger stuff, you can use things like http://ecalc.ch/ to do simulations to see if you are overloading motors etc.

Google 2 vs Goggles 2. I'm assuming >>1120739 bought the latter, which are apparently decent, as the former would be a crazy expense for somebody just starting out with a Syma.
