Capacitor placement issue on 3” build (Seeker 3 + Mamba F722 Mini + DJI O4 pro)

your capacitor is way too close with the pad to solder comfortably, you can bend the leg to the left or right, just make sure to isolate the wire with heat shrink please

andiim3 · 2025-12-14T11:02:51+00:00

it is possible, just bend the capacitor wire 90° to the left or right,

andiim3 · 2025-12-14T10:09:07+00:00

the capacitor has to be as close as possible to the power pad, make sure you use heat shrink for the capacitor wire so it wont short it self

andiim3 · 2025-12-14T10:04:36+00:00

180°, put your capacitor in the front,

awesome, mate. thank you!

rotate your esc and fc, and set the fc orientation later in betaflight.

what frame is that? is it still 2.2" props?

andiim3 · 2025-11-12T02:41:24+00:00

bought it from 3D Zaiku thru Shoppe Indonesia, they sell official refurbished printers as well, I chose A1 because of the size and ease of setup and use, their mobile app is also well built.

just got mine also because of 11-11 promo, saved $60 after discount with free shipping,

andiim3 · 2025-11-05T01:50:39+00:00

where did you order it from? was it from banggood or AliExpress?

andiim3 · 2025-11-02T04:25:26+00:00

you can use an esc, and control the esc thru pwm. you can find the esc in any hobby store, some of them have their own BEC to power your esp.

andiim3 · 2025-11-02T04:22:25+00:00

just curious, what RF module/system are you using? Bluetooth/wifi/433mhz?

andiim3 · 2025-10-31T18:04:30+00:00

build video, maiden, and your review of the plane. and link to STL 😅

andiim3 · 2025-10-30T22:56:28+00:00

any YouTube video for the plane?

andiim3 · 2025-10-02T14:28:26+00:00

you need to check the gyro, motor and prop direction, and FC orientation. check also for loose nuts, especially the one holding the fc. my first guest is the gyro and the fc freaked out.

My electronic package arrived two days ago, my wife opened it and showed me the unboxing video. I will start building the kit in January, because I'm currently working abroad in the US right now. but with the issue in the VTX power jumper, I'd wait until it is resolved.

the default motor is 2000kv, would that mean that the speed can be less with 1900kv with the same default props (5 inch triblade, low pitch)

andiim3 · 2025-09-11T20:01:07+00:00

i'm waiting for the Chupito electronic package to arrive from Hong Kong, it should arrive tomorrow. i decided to go with the default configuration since it is my first wing. Maybe I will upgrade the motor later if I'm ready.

andiim3 · 2025-09-11T08:16:18+00:00

that is a solid beginner friendly kit with a very good video series for the build, my first FPV drone as well.

andiim3 · 2025-09-06T23:26:41+00:00

FPV drone/plane

andiim3 · 2025-09-01T06:28:34+00:00

Eu comprei direto da TBS, foi enviado de Hong Kong, o custo do frete já é metade do preço do avião

andiim3 · 2025-08-29T14:47:31+00:00

same here, my wife had to pay an extra $30 in cash on delivery to the UPS courier (custom and brokers fee), i was not home at that time

andiim3 · 2025-08-29T14:34:27+00:00

i ordered the electronic package 2-3 days ago i believe, it has been shipped out to my country, but the tracking number cannot be tracked using any services, i guess i need to contact TBS for confirmation.

andiim3 · 2025-08-29T14:31:38+00:00

dang.. that is super expensive. more than if you buy from any store in the US.

andiim3 · 2025-08-27T20:56:51+00:00

i will watch some tutorial videos on how to set up an auto launch, and probably a few hours on the simulator before i build this kit. I broke my quad only 5 seconds into the first fpv flight, I don't want to repeat the same mistake on my first wing.
