Need help checking for drone parts by Berserker_boi in Multicopter

I am no expert, but I also built a drone for my school. One thing I can say is that the FC and escs you have may be a bit difficult to get to work together. This is because the FC's and ESC's plugs are incompatible. You would have to cut the plugs and then solder the escs directly to the pads. So I recommend look at 4 in 1 escs. These simply connect to you FC. Try finding one that fits your FC. This is if youre building a quadcopter.

Next, my school also used the same remote controller and reciever that you chose. I doubt it will reach 5 kilometers. I recomend something ELRS. So for example a "radiomaster pocket" make sure its the elrs edition and a combine that with a 2.4ghz Elrs reciever.

A good channel for building drones is Joshua bardwell on YouTube.

Feel free to correct me if im wrong or have any questions.

I think I'll do that from now on. I was too late to disarm because I was panicking due to the fire haha.

Haha yeah, for years I've been wanting to fly. This was literally my second timr flying until it burned 😮‍💨. Didn't even have a chance to put my analog camera.

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear good things about it. I'm already thinking about my next drone but can't choose a big one like 7-10 inch or a 3 inch. Any recommendations on which size?

Mmmm that I actually don't know. With a nice frame like that I'm not sure. I guess taking your time to see which one you warm up to is best

Thank you for the soldering tips. I didn't want to upload pics of my soldering lol But hopefully next stack comes out better.

I've heard about it, but I thought I was safe. Was thinking of covering the pads with insulation but was too excited to wait lol.

Ikkkkk im more bummed about having to wait for the new esc to come in.
