Nice build TMak ,enjoyed watching what size 4s battery u gonna use
U made me thinking about 2.5 didn’t try them yet,i flow 3 5 6″ quads love 5″ ,but if I’m going for one like urs no need for bozer I use the motor and for 4s I add 2 caps in the arm close to the FC . I love the quad
Nice build TMac! The buzzer look like heaviest part of the quad. I cant wait to see how it flys. Thanks
Nice build need to build one of these myself. The only thing I noticed was I did not see where you soldered in your crossfire receiver. Did I miss something? I don’t use crossfire so I was watching to see how those RXs are done. Also a tip I would add is when I solder flight controllers especially small ones I like to put electrical tape around the center portion of the board just In case I drop a bit of solder it wont hurt the board. Just my own tip. Again nice build. Oh yea 4S!! That is going to be a screamer.
Great video TMac. You make it look so easy, especially the soldiering in those tight spaces.
I’m getting pretty good at soldering, but my only problem is at times, I tend to shake. Not sure if it’s just my ring still nervous!
Cheers,
Sam
