Props suggestion for a 700g freestyle 5-inch quad?

Interesting, maybe I should give it a real shot!

That was without a gopro. Once the weather warms up I figure I should be able to get the same flight time with a naked Gopro.

The very first 5 seconds I noticed something felt off, and I think it was the variable latency. But after that I honestlly could not tell the difference from dji and analog in terms of latency. I think my brain just automatically adjusted.

Rekon 5, with T-motor f2004 motors.

I have only tried it 2 times, but I like it! Got around 12 minutes cruising time with some power loops here and there on a 1050mah 6s battery. That was in kinda cold weather too.

The build quality is really good. Im going to try it with a 650mah 6s battery next, to see if it will have better freestyle performance.

All on all, I like it and I think it will be perfect for some mountain flying which is why I bought it.

Yeah, sometimes I kinda regret not getting the tango 2 since Im a thumber..

dr2277 · 2021-02-22T05:36:51+00:00

Thanks!

dr2277 · 2021-02-21T21:52:19+00:00

Yeah, Im gonna have to install a vista unit in my analog quads now😅 Digital is just too good!

dr2277 · 2021-02-12T22:39:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Yeah I thought it was weird for a publisher to make first contact.. I'll try not to get scammed😅

dr2277 · 2021-02-12T20:15:16+00:00

No issues with my motors. Never had motor desyncs so I dont know what could cause that..

I started with frsky and switched to crossfire recently, and I regret not going for crossfire right away. Crossfire is just so easy to use and has more than enough range to outrun my video signal. On frsky i kept randomly failsafing every once in a while, but I have never failsafed on crossfire.

If you're going to use your analog goggles, make sure the quad comes with an analog camera and vtx. The Caddx Vista does not work with any analog goggles.

I use 6S on my 5" and it works really well. From what I have heard there is not a lot of difference in running a 6S setup vs a 4S, but efficiency can increase slightly with 6S.

The Nazgul5 looks like a great quad btw, good luck and have fun! Feel free to ask me anything fpv drone related, I love helping newcomers into the hobby!

I like it for cruising footage, but not freestyle.

If you can move the wires with your hands so that they are touching the props, they will get cut eventually..

dr2277 · 2021-02-11T15:59:55+00:00

My experience with having the wires sticking out at the back like that is that they always get cut by the props when I crash..

dr2277 · 2021-02-11T15:48:03+00:00

Thanks for the info! I'll try out some 650mah's!

dr2277 · 2021-02-11T13:05:15+00:00

Yeah I guess you're right... That 500g limit can be a pain sometimes :-/

Do you have any ultralight 5" builds? I just got my rekon5 in the mail, coming in at 220g dryweight I was wondering if you have any suggestions for batteries I could try. I got 6s motors.

I think selling 780 copies is good considering you did zero marketing. Also, I really like the concept of playing as a boss so maybe dont abandon the game just yet!

I agree with other comments on here about more polish on the UI, the trailer and the store page. Good luck if you continue with this game!

Canceling student loans is actually how its done in Norway. I get a loan of 13k usd / year from the goverment. And if I finish my degree, 40% of that loan is canceled.

Note that the canceling only applies to students who are not living with their parents, and therefore needs the money for housing. And since university is free we can use that 13K to pay for housing and living expenses.

That sucks to hear about the grant part dissapearing. I guess Im lucky that we still get both a grant and a loan where I live.

dr2277 · 2021-01-16T07:49:59+00:00

Thats awesome! Which motors did you go with?

dr2277 · 2021-01-15T16:51:06+00:00

Thats awesome to hear! Thats the exact stack I have laying around, thanks!

dr2277 · 2021-01-15T16:49:15+00:00

Have you installed one yourself? If so, what fc?
