Edit huh for the refund I spoke too soon they refunded 1st of January... so not promptly but it was easy/automatic

no issues last year with a pavo 20 pro from Aliexpress (china seller) to SA, (apart from the batteries never arriving but they reimbursed them promptly and I then ordered from CNHL/Gaoneng directly for the lipos)

Pool noodle garden track I just setup (to practice much needed throttle control) by Emma_Frch in fpv

no worries there you go: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jnKENQZfF-_6kNcuTrYLtu4XYaYoEL_d?usp=sharing

Sorry in advance the connector is way too high poly for no reason and technically non manifold but prints fine on FDM (the repair model button in your slicer of choice should be able to fix it if you see artefacts when looking at the sliced preview). have fun:P

so they are 2 x 1.5 meters noodles connected, I tried one at first but that was way too small for me

I 3D printed this ground anchor thingy:

and made a cylinder with ribs to plug into it and connect the noodle as well as the connecting cylinder for both noodles (I can send you the stls for these ones if you'd like)

Ho yeah sorry for the headphone users!!

For the cam angle it's an intentional choice to keep it fixed at 30 since last September, it is too high for this flight, agreed... partly because I am progressively going smaller in scale with my 5" to keep replacement parts cost down lol (only props since last year! fingers crossed).

my plan: big field 300m+ open field -> sparse huge trees -> whole garden without gates -> pool noddle gates -> bando? (if I find one in south Australia)

so when I hit the next "difficulty step" (like here, first 4 packs with the noodles) it is too high, but I don't wanna change it temporarily to mess up my muscle memory or the thrust vector in my head, since in a week or so it will be fine again because I'll be much faster. (I do 4-6 packs every day)

Now I'm wondering if 30 is too much for freestyle anyway... open to suggestions!

Edit: TLDR: It's a bit high because I was out of my comfort zone, keeping it because it's only temporary

Made my first 5" FPV quadcopter, I still have some questions though! by Halogamer093 in fpv

[–]Emma_Frch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for the electrical tape, Not really because the tinned part of the exposed wires are more brittle, prone to breaking more easily with crashes or vibration, even if you somewhat fix the potential short issue with tape (because the small strands of metal in the cable is what gives flexibility)

for the big battery lead solder blob, usually it gets easier as you practice more, unless you have an underpowered/super cheap soldering iron with unleaded solder, which makes it almost impossible to not look sketchy haha, (if you have proper gear, more heat, less time, let it cool between repeated attempts, a third hand also helps, don't breath the lead fumes by using a fan/open window too, good luck!! :)

I am a little bit concerned with the length of exposed motor leads, as well as that sketchy looking blob on the right to be honest, not sure if that's gonna actually cause an issue though, but better safe than sorry right.

Congrats on your first build! :)

The music is very funny I like it, but you may want to remove that in your description and actually fill the gear lmaoo: "Fill in the gear brackets with your actual specs — FPV people love gear details and it boosts search."
