DYS X160 Micro FPV Race Drone Review – Part 2 – [Flight Test]

Excellent … I can see you are really getting into your Taranis! I have
“find me” beeper set up on SF, my rate mode switch is SE, and my
“ARM/Disarm” is on SB. I busted off my SH toggle the other day when my
Taranis slid out of my car and fell out the door onto the hard surfaced
parking lot. Fortunately, I don’t use SH for anything … think most use it
for “buddy box” transfer of control. My 1st thought when I heard your
fluttering motors was, you should have balanced your ESCs. Then I thought
your P (from PIDs) was way out, as that will cause fluttering. Heard the
announcements, and sounds like you have the same voice package I have on
mine, announcing various modes, etc. The Taranis is SO cool. When I got
mine, it was like $200 for the TX & RX … I remember way back in the day
of early “digital proportional RC” controllers, you’d be looking at $1000+
for something which only controlled 6 channels .. and the Taranis + X8R can
support 16. The FPV video was horrible, and I’m surprised you did as well
as you did with all the blinking. The DYS160 shows great promise, once you
get the new ESC and maybe a little tweaking of the PIDs and a good antenna
system. Looking forward to seeing that. The temps here might get over 50
deg today, so I may take my ZMR250 out and do a little FPV (on a screen)
myself. Cheers!

Nice review! Maybe some epoxy on the SMA connector on top board. Seems like
that would be the first thing to break.

Neat. Wonder if this is small enough for me to fly at my indoor club site..
