GIVEAWAY details and all components + extra components in case things sell out is linked in description so check it out for how to enter. Hope this helps. Spent ages researching and making this so hopefully it helps get more people into this awesome hobby of FPV. Happy flying
Great post. Very informative. I have been thinking about building one for my birthday in April.
I’m starting to acquire bits and pieces now.
cheers
Stew, I’ve got quite the predicament. I want to make a “tiny whoop” but I’m not sure if there’s an easy way to make one that can bind with the Turnigy Evolution. I read somewhere that the Turnigy Evolution is compatible with flysky receivers but there are other conflicting resources that say otherwise. If they do work then there are some kind of “aftermarket” Inductrixs’ that have the flysky receivers. Could you look into this?
I have been waiting for a video like this! This is awesome information! I’m new to the fpv racing thing and I will definitely be looking into this build! Thank you!
Hey Stu, I would choose the the standard. I’ve just ordered my first race quad but want to get the old boy flying also. love your channel it has been a great help for someone like myself with minimal knowledge ? PS cheers for grumpy Trev’s channel link, he’s a mad dog!
Been looking for a more recent upload for cheap drone builds, I will more than likely buy all these parts and build it myself. Thanks.
This definitely helped me put together a parts list for my first drone! It would be way better if I got it for free though! 🙂
I am new to fpv and built myself a little rambo whoop replica…..absolutely addicted! I haven’t had a love for a new hobby for like 15 years, I feel like my brain is rejuvenated. Buddy of mine got an eachine wizard and seeing the fun he is having has got my mouth watering more and more every day. I really enjoy your videos and can tell you love what your doing. Thanks for sharing all your experience with all of us. Wether I win the giveaway or not, this video gives me a lot more confidence to build my own.
Thanks
Russ
Hopefully this will be the guide I use to build my first Quadcopter. It would be easier if it was pre-built though haha!
nice flying. really liked the video!
This shows me that all drones are not as expensive as a kit and it is better to make one yourself and if I won I would not have to spend another $100 on the battery and the controller
I have a friend named Jeremy that loves FPV racing. He comes to all of our weekly races, and he cheers us on. Jeremy cannot currently afford to join the hobby… we offer our equipment and our support, but he refuses to risk harming our racers or impeding on our fun. We love Jeremy. We want Jeremy to join us. If you send me a racer, I’ll make sure he has a controller (transmitter), and my other friend will donate his spare pair of FPV goggles. Help us get Jeremy flying. If you do, I’ll make a video of us surprising him, racing with him, and having a blast (and I’ll send it to you).
B) This video really helped me understand the racing drone build process. My first quadcopter was made of cheap components adding to $40 but the quality was nothing compared do this $99 one. It has a good camera and goes much faster. Additionally, it is much more robust as I just taped the components on my first drone.
Hi stu This is going to be my first build and I can’t wait because you showed how to do everything you need to do in the video and thanks for putting this up because I was going to buy a $350 kit but now I don’t have to
My first fpv quad had a wood frame to keep the price under $100. This thing looks so much better. Bet it flies better too!
I made my first quad with the same frame, I want to do a cheaper one like this. So great videos and this help me getting more involved to continue flying ??
Great video and excellent beginner tutorial. What size batter do you recommend / are you using? Thanks!
I’ve been flying the tiny whoop for a little while now and have been itching to get into the bigger quads and freestyle flight. I always thought the bigger ones we’re a lot more expensive than 100$. Great and informative build video and I love the parts list! Super helpful!
UAVfutures sir one drone plizzzz me in india in delhi
UAVfutures do you have a long range quad build video? , I’m looking for long range long run time.
GIVEAWAY IS FINISHED. Congrats to “Davo Johnson” check your youtube inbox and we can go from there and organise to get this little bad boy out to you. Thanks to everyone for entering and I hope this has helped so many of you get into this awesome hobby : )
Hi, thanks for share your knowledge with all of us. I’ve been flying the Eachine 250 Racer. Although falls way behind all the modern models, I’m still having a good time with it. However, think is time for an upgrade. I’m more interested in freestyle rather of racing. I wonder if the $99 DIY drone would be my next quad or should I get an BNF model. My budget is $200. Thanks for you advise. Greetings from Bogota, Colombia.
Great video – Even better channel !
Hi ! I was just wondering what battery you recommend using with it.
Wonderfull job!
UAVfutures hi you do have some video to help instal receiver .I have taranis x9 pro
When building the upgrade version, what must be done to have battery monitoring on the controller/goggles?
Pls can I have a fpv cam and screen thats all I need to finish
any recommendation for batteries here , i am a novice but this is so cheap i cannot resist . but i do not know what batteries i should choose , i am looking more for optimal flight time than speed currently .
Wow this is going to be my new hobby. But i’m so lost with every words you say in terms of naming the electronics. Can you link me up a Ready to Fly quad like this?
Wait so is the footage at the end of the video recorded with the camera on the upgraded drone??
Hey I cant wait to biuld this drone I just have a question is it possible to use a turnigy evolution controller with this if so how, this controller is 2.4ghz and the transmitter for this drone is 5.8ghz. I’m having trouble finding the right trasmitters
‘
Thanks
Any drone to sales for me under £100
Newbie just Getting in the sport. Send me a drone man!!!!!!!!
Thx a lot made my first quad… followed this and 200$ link.
Did fly for a 30-40 secs in Freezing cold weather . The quad then lost altitude and crashed in icy grass… then went out of balance. Too cold to try a lot of options but crashed a couple of more times and then finally gave up. Came home dried up my quad a little with hair dryer… initially the blue light glowed gradually. But now no lights on flight controller. Too much for first day but had fun ????
Did I lose some stand offs or did I not get enough with what I bought? I feel I’m doing something wrong. I only have 4 stand offs for the esc but those 4 are the only ones that can take a screw. Kind of confused. Any help would be appreciated. 🙂
Can you fit GPS on your upgraded version and what batteries do you use
What size screws did you use to mount the eachine 1000tvl into the frame?
I can’t wait to build my first drone
Is the video footage we’re seeing somehow recorded from the FPV camera or did you strap a gopro on for the youtube video?
Great Video! Love this, building mine in 2 weeks! Will be using this as the guide. Do you think a dx7 Spektrum radio would be ok? Obviously will have to flash. Converting from nitro aircraft to quads.
probally gopro but not sure
How would I go about sending the fpv footage to my phone instead of to the goggles
What battery did you use? Base and upgraded. Someone said it’s in another video but I can’t find it.
So I got a Sharper Image drone for Christmas….really an uncontrollable piece of dung of a drone. Even still though…I think the concept has me hooked enough to attempt a build of your upgraded drone version. Even though I won’t be a racer…the sheer control of the aircraft is amazeballs!
I’m gonna use the purple engines and have green three-bladed props.
Which battery are you using?
What about a controler can someone pls reply
To distribute the weight, I would trim the three motor wires down and have the esc on the arms of the quad
P.S I have not watched the whole video yet, so if he did do that then my apologies.
This esc is different to mine, I have 4 separate
Which battery are you using
Hi, can someone plz tell me connect my F3 board to cleanflight? When I try to connect my F3 to cleanflight, it says ” no configuration received”. Also, plz tell me how to program it
I built this and your guide doesn’t show how to put the fs-ia6 in
I built this and your guide doesn’t show how to put the fs-ia6 in
Can someone help me?
Can someone help me?
I want to subscribe to this channel…but because these are all half tutorials I don’t feel like I can. 🙁 I just want to see you attach a receiver and program the flight controllers, otherwise these drones are 100% non functional…
What controller did you use
I mean transmitter
Hey hopefully not to late for some help, but I’ve followed most of these steps and I can connect to beta flight and have proper power to motors. My receiver is bonded with my FS T6 but.. my quad won’t respond to transmitter inputs or Arm motors. Motors only move with beta flight.
Which battery is good for this drone? Do you have any one good? I’m beginning to buil this and i’ve already ordering some things
Battery’s ?
What battery’s do I use I just made it but don’t have any bateryes
Did the standoffs for the pdb come with it because I only have the 4 from the esc?
What battery do I use
I have a FrSky Qx 7 radio transmitter and I cannot get it to bind with the flight controller. Do I need a separate component such as the x4r receiver offered by FrSky as well?
What software are you using? And how do you install
Hi
I just finished building the drone and now i have to tune and to configure the fc BUT when i connect the FC the Cleanflight and or Betaflight it doesn’t works. It disconnects me from the FC anf i have no chance to tune it. Do you now how i can configurre the receiver? Im using a Flysky FS IA6B receiver.
Of course , how can a receiver talk to flight controller with out receiver
check out UAV futures 200$build,youll get the answer
yeah, check out UAV futures 200$ build.youll get the answer
check out UAV futures 200$ build.youll get the answer
buy eachine rotg01
its go pro session 5
can I use electrical tape instead of heat shrink?
I am building the upgraded version and bought the frsky xsr receiver but do not understand how to wire it in. There are many more wires than just the four points on the flight controller. Please help.
Just started flying drones. Got my first one this year. A v2400skyviper streaming video drone. If you have another giveaway I would love one of these custom drones
hey stew got everything on the list and looks great but, can you do a video on how to make your flysky fsi6 six channel into a 10 channel if you haven’t all ready Please!!!!!!!! I have tried all the other videos on YouTube and I cant get it to work Help
How do you get it to work once you built it?
Where’s the info on what software to use and what FC firmware is on these boards… Betaflight won’t talk to it … so how do you get these “cheap quads” in the air?
really hope you can help me, thanks!!
also, do you have any recommended receivers to use with a spektrum DX6e???
where the fuck are the batteries ???
How long is the flight time? Greetings from Estonia.
@UAVfutures do you ever read these questions?
I have done all this and made a sweet little drone but cannot connect to betaflight or cleanflight, I followed all your steps is this a common issue?! Red flashing light on upgrade sp f3 no arming please help!!
why arent the escs, pdbs, and flight controllers all in one like in hobby cars?
I cant belive how much this all cost xp
Which prop did you use in both the versions?
Also tell me which is giving more thrust.
You are requested to answer fast
U didn’t tell how to programme flight controller
hi and thanks for the vid im building this quad can u please tell me where or put a link to screws to mount the ccd camera
I need to get one of those. Can I buy one from you?
Can I make a SHIELD Helicarrier quadcopter using this guide by just changing the frame…….pls help
where do i find a battery for this??
I want to build this but have questions and have had trouble finding answers
What battery should u buy?
And what controller
That is fucking sick
Can you do a 2018 version please. Also go all the way to rtf don’t miss anything. ??
hello
i need a little help here
i did all the steps exactly like you showed in the video (except the fpv camera & transmitter)
i bind the receiver with my radio but nothing happens
whatever i do nothing works.
PLEASE HELP
I’ve done a ton of soldering for the USAF. The most important thing is to keep your iron clean by wiping it on a wet sponge and using alcohol to wipe off the flux on your connections. Many soldering videos on YT.
Any other choices for PBD? That one listed is out of stock

ATTENTION THIS IS NOT A ”FULL BUILD GUIDE” AND IS NOT $99!!! for the standard drone build more like $160 and thats without a receiver and controller.!!!!!!! so you can not even fly it untill you get one witch is about another $100. POST A LEGIT VIDEO THATS NOT FUL:L OF SHIT INCLUDING EVERYTHING THAT YUOU WILL, NEED TO START FLYING.!!!!!!! UNSUBSCRIBED ALOT MORE PEOPLE WILL ONCE THEY REALIZE YOUR FULL OF SHIT ABOUT THE PRICES!!! NICE VIDEO THO
I’m looking at this as my first build – Totally new to Quads and haven’t “played” with RC gear since the early 80s and so apologies in advance for this newbie question BUT . . . rather than swap the motor wires to the ESC for motors 3 & 4, would it be acceptable to simply swap over the yellow and green wires to the Flight controller?? I want to understand what I’m doing before I start building. Great video and great site Stu . . I’m hooked!!! Just hope I can keep my fingers out of the props unlike when I was a kid with my OS glow engines!! It seems all I need to do with this modern electric stuff is not burn down my house!! 😉
What about the controller for the drone? Isn’t that needed also?
been wanting one for the past while now and seems to be too expencive but im excited to see this 99 dollar drone setup
what kind of batteries would you recommend for this build?
Perfect video, thanks for the amazing walkthrough, I got my parts coming in and am excited to build my first race drone. My first drone was a custom rtf quad, I’ve only changed the fc and added a vtx+cam, doing it from scratch feels daunting, appreciate your vids
Thank you for this, I was considering getting into these types of drones but I thought they were quite expensive, you have corrected me and I hope to build one of these in the near future
Hi.. Great videos. I hope I could become as good as you one day
I want them ????
Which battery should i use to power my 1000tv camera and a 600mw transmitter.
It will be 112.82
I really need to know, on the upgrade version, the camera wires are red, black, and white. Do I now hook up my white and yellow??
I really need to know, on the upgrade version, where do I get the screws to screw in the camera?
For some reason I only got 4 standoffs, were more supposed to come with the PDB and FC?
gimmi
Hi Stu Can’t seem to work out the A3 B3 C3 connector order for motor 3. Just wondering if someone could point this out?
Sadly I live in Canada where our money is practically worthless. This build is well over 200 for me. The wizard is oddly only 140 canadian. I really wanted to build my first racer but the wizard is so damn cheap I can’t justify it. Great job as always Stu. Love your videos.
What’s batteries are you running in the video?
Hey Stu, I was looking at getting a 3” racer for cheap, but I don’t know what components to get, can you do a cheap 3” race video please?? Keep up the great work!!
clown,go check 200$vedio
Where does the drone radio go?
I’m building one right now
Hey what is a good affordable drone that is super durability that I can buy or make
Just want to throw out a big thanks for UAVFutures for making this video. I followed this video to a “T” and now I have a bad ass FPV drone. I learned a lot and had a blast building it.
hi guyz im newbie here what is the advisable mah battery of this build and the C discharge rate? any reply will be much appreciated thank u racers………..
Noor Al-Zireeni Had the same issue. BG often seem to send things incorrectly.
I’m gona build the fpv drone whit my friend
What battery are you using?
Hey guys I might have missed this but what batteries are you running on this build. Have ordered all the bits but need to get batteries.
Which battery to use??
Could you show the betaflight setup for this build? Thanks.
For 99$ you can’t fly your drone because you do not have an RC to control him…
A very NEW beginner… lol What battery should I use and May I have a link Please…..Thanks.
I really want I quadcopter
could you film with this? Not for fpv purposes but just some cool drone shots? If so, what steps would I need to take to convert this? If not can anyone recommend any good drones with a 720p (or better) camera for under 100dollars? Or 100euros. Thanks!
This was an excellent video.
I am new to drone racing what battery and charger would be the best to use
Really discouraging when you buy all the parts and none of them came with more than 4 stand offs in total… searched my entire house and can’t find any
Just had the maiden flight with this drone built with the upgraded parts, and man this is awesome. Didn’t try the fpv, but I know it works too. Awesome build, great instructions, thanks 🙂
Hiw do you controll it
Cool
Thank you for your passion and information. Just starting to do so research into this hobby. And would far sooner build something than buy. This looks like a great first build, thank you once again.
Loved the video, but there were a few things that could have been better. If your new to this and you go to buy a soldering iron buy the one with the fine tip and not the fat one. It would make soldering way easier, another thing would be binding the remote to the drone. Make the binding device visible because I thought it went horizontally and not vertically but after some hair ripping moments I figured it out. The video was great though and now I built my own drone thank you for the hard work.
Would you still recommend following this build guide?
I can’t get mine to work :/ everything has power and is connecting but the RC isn’t powering the motors
Is it possible to use a linear polarised antenna on the drone and a circular polarised antenna on my goggles ?
I am in the process of building the pro version on this quad but with the Martian 2 from and I would like to note for other people making this decision the upgraded camera does not fit in with the mount on the frame, if anyone has a way of mounting the camera to the Martian 2 frame please let me know.
can I record with this setup?
That ist Very nice
Does anyone have any suggestions for improved parts that have been released more recently? For example better motors. Thanks!
What battery would I need?
Do you have a Twitter? I just got the parts in the mail to do your $99 build!!! Wana share some pics when it’s done!
I’ve finally gotten to the point where I was able to put a few batteries through this (my first) drone after making some improvements here and there. It flies amazing! I went for all the upgraded parts, but was still well under $150. Thanks for these videos! You’ve helped another beginner get his sea legs!
damn that 360 through the track and squeeze right through those treeeeees!
I did everything, but where do you attach the battery? And how do you attach it?
why does he use a stick its so annoying and distracting
Can you run a 4s battery on the upgraded FC?
What kind of battery do you need for this drone?
Hey, I just followed all instructions for the upgraded version, and I tried pairing the drone to the goggles from the >$300 video. The two are not pairing, I was wondering if there are any other parts needed to finish the drone
Please make a video of how to troubleshoot certain issues. I am constantly having issues with my build based off of this videa and research only helps so much.
What battery do you recommend
I’m new to all of this, which controller should I get, I have an old DX6 would it work?
Stew, I clapped my hands over my drone and went ‘BOOP’ its still wont assemble….great vids mate!
I’m assuming to only get the Acro 6 DOF flight controller in the upgrade build
Flysky FS-i6S 2.4G 10CH AFHDS 2A Transmitter With FS-iA10B Receiver OrFlySky FS-i6 2.4G 6CH AFHDS RC Transmitter With FS-iA6 Receivercan someone please explain the difference??
Really good video thanks
Hey,
Thanks for the fun build and videos. Just wondering if the Eachine EV100 will work for this build?
Thanks
Going to build this here soon ??
Will a 11.1v 25c battery work
Hey!
Great video mate, As I am a total beginner to fpv race drones, I just wanted to know what battery to buy?
I will order all the parts once I have the specific battery that you used in your build.
Thanks! P.S Anyone feel free to let me know too!
Can this replace a dji spark?
Tony, I just built this over the weekend (my first). I didn’t have trouble with the video…except I had a plain black screen at first. When I’d reboot the camera, it would work. So for the few times I’ve powered up the unit, I’ve had to remove the power and try again to get the video to work. Both the vtx and the ccd are on the same 5V pad on the PDB. I looked up the channels. The VR-007 calls the ABEFR bands 12345 in the first digit of the displayed channel. So goggle channel 53 is VTX channel 3R (or R3). Hope this helps. Maybe try a different channel?
DOES THE NAZE32 BOARD DONT REQUIRE ANY KIND OF PROGRAMMING REGARDING PID TUNING ? AND HOW COULD I GET THE DISPLAY OF WHAT MY CAMERA IS RECORDING
No. I got the “deluxe” board. Comes with a built in barometer and compass. You may not use those features right away, but maybe you’d like to after a while? PLEASE NOTE…It looks like the banggood link is to a generic or clone flight board. Stu kept saying “SP F3” which I later figured guessed was supposed to be “seriously pro F3”. But this is NOT a SP board. It is also not a NASE board (which the address of the page would suggest). It is a clone. And I have not yet gotten mine to connect with the PC. You need to configure it slightly before it will fly. Check Stu’s $300 build video which goes into connecting and programming. I only found that after a bit of googling. The building video is terrific, but how to connect receiver and configure transmitter and flight board is not easy for a noob. LOTS of terms to learn. The board did not come with ANY literature. Read the description. You’ll be using a chrome app to talk to the board. Now if I could just get mine to work…
I bought the Martian II and the upgrade camera. The camera fits the two holes in the side supports on its rotation axis mount (right and left side). It does NOT have long enough tiny screws to mount them to the board which goes behind it. But I may just double stick tape that. It’s being held by the pivot point. The back board will just set the angle. Right?
Andy Hayman hi thanks I have been researching flight controls which led me to readytosky store that has a combo of gt2205 2300 motors, little bee 30 amp ESC’s and an F4 FC supported by Race flight…so much to learn lol
so finished building this drone and watched how you connected it and everything but my reveiver wont talk ti my drone
What battery do u use
Does anyone know where I can get a battery that’ll work with this?
The PDB is out of stock right now. does anyone know a alternate PBD i could use?
I need FPV GOGGLES only or is possible others receivers(list please)?
Which camera did you use to film this video?
Hello Stew!
My name is Mathias and i live in Sweden (nick = bebbe).
I must thank you for making this listing of parts for the 99 dollar build!! I have been doing FPV on and off for a couple of years. And it is some times hard to get the right parts together. Specially since I am not always updated on whats available! But this build really go me going again! The 210 quad is with no doubt my favourite quad. Bought me a Furibee X215 Pro. Like that one to but when it comes to flying gates and in the forrest my 210 really is the first choice!
So thank you Stew and keep up the good work!!
Regards
Mathias / Sweden
What is the top speed
good grief, 7.7k comments. Well, if this one gets read: I’d add a 5v buzzer to the order list. It’s $1 and will really help find the quad if it gets lost!
Hi, I binded my radio FS -i6S to my receiver FS iA6B and I can see input on betaflight.
I can also control my motors on betaflight but the drone won’t arm! If I raise up the throttle on the radio, motors won’t move but I see the input on menu “Receiver” on betaflight.
If I go to CLI, and I put “Status”, I see the error “CLI ARMSWITCH”, how could I solve it? Thanks
i did see the as u called new breed of micro drones, i was wondering, could u make tuturial just like this, how to build cheap micro racing drone that could be ised with googles 🙂 thank you ^^
Heck yeah! I’m am brand new to drones and found your channel. This is awesome. I’m sure I’m late for the GAW, but I want to build one now! Than you!
where can I bye one
Stu, so I am so close to being finished with this quad but the only thing is that when I solder the FC into the pdb it doesnt do anything. I dont understand it. im using the Sp Racing F3 10dof. is it because im using the 10dof?
thank you for helping me get into this hobby, now i can chase rc planes too! and race through the trees at my park
What flight controller did you use in the upgraded version was it the acro or the deluxe thanks
Thank you for the awesome video! But I have a question would the eachine ev100 5.8g 72ch fpv goggles work with the upgraded version as well?
I got recommend from some one off drone days on facebook maybe you should join great people and group
These drones look mint! Shame you don’t sell them RTF ? Can you build it for me boss man ?
To make the wiring a lot nicer, wire the speed controller 3 ( ones labled c ) to motor 4 and speed controller 4 to motor 3, basically to each closest motor. Then when youre soldering the 4 wires from flight controller to the speed controllers, just swap the wires for motor 3 and 4. This will make the wiring much nicer without having to change any software
Hey Man… where and how do u mount the batteries???
Can i use a wizardx220 frame???
Hey what reciever would i need to use my spektrum dx4e? Also does the spf3 have ability for self leveling flight mode, could you show how you programmed it? I have everything else in the cart at 118!

Hi my name is James. I have flown rc aircraft for a little over 10 years. I own a few rtf quads and have the hang of it. I am planing on buying a few things that you have recommennded. I am very new to fpv flying and am not familiar with how it all works. Could you help me out a little please? Not quite sure what set up to get and how to use them properly and efficiently. Love the channel my favorite by far and love all the info you dish out. Looking forward to more videos and hopefully a chance to win one of your give a ways.
What lipo battery do you recommend?
sorry if this question is retarded but how does the drone pick up the signal from my transmitter? does the Flgith controller have a built in antenna? do i need to buy a separate antenna? which one would be best for a flysky transmitter? any help appreciated mucho thanks
Where is the battery though?
For 25.83€ more euros the uprade version its worth it
Nice video but confused a little here, i think i need a radio and a radio receiver right? but how to install the radio receiver?
Hi! I can’t get the controller to work with my drone it connects but the values don’t change in betaflight I enabled the uav2,3 in ports and set it on ibus I have a flysky controller
what controller and goggles do you recommend you didnt outline that in the video I am new to the racing drone scene and is there a video out on what else I have to do after I build the drone? Like programming the controller and goggles stuff like that. Any help you can give me would be great thanks
I’m surprised you don’t have many, many more subscribers……that was excellent. I’m new to quads. Especially racing/FPV quads and you made it look simple and easy. I’m not a fan of soldering but I’ll have to just do it I suppose. You have provided all the info, all the links, all the options. Fantastic. One quick question if I may…..I wear glasses for everyday activities. Of the FPV goggle head set preferences provided, is there a particular one I should aim for so that I can still wear my spectacles and the head set feels comfortable? Might be on your list, or might not – thought I’d check with the expert. I’d rather buy one good one that feels right from the word go. Also, are the goggle FPV head sets with built in SD card inputs the way to go, or not to worry about it for now. Thanks.
One question, can we mount go pro on them and fly????!!!
Are there any other ESCs I could use
You mounted the fly controler sideways, or the quad will have orientation?
I’m building the updated version, what battery would you recommend? A base and upgrade pls…
I want to build the “upgraded” version of the drone with an Eachine Goggles Two and Original FrSky radio. Is that possible?
For the upgraded Flight Controller, were you pointing to the Acro or Deluxe?
For the upgraded Flight Controller, were you linking to the Acro or Deluxe?
Upgraded camera doesn’t have yellow wire?
this did not work for me. I have been trying to get this thing to connect to the remote with no luck please help
Hello, I’m beggining in all this and although I followed every step when I plug the batterie nothing lights up, however when I plug a micro usb it lights up but beta flight or cleanflight don’t find my drone, could ou guys plsss help me.
Thanks
Hi, my son want a to build this and thanks for taking so much time to detail it all, but just wondering what controller to use for this model?
Would this be a pointless topic to revisit here in the near future, another $99 build but updated? This is one of the most popular vids I’ve seen vets throw out to noob pilots who are looking to build their first quad. With the newer parts that are out, upgraded parts, parts that have gone down in price, etc, it might be another solid video for the viewers. Idk, maybe there’s not enough change to call for one, just a thought. Anyhow, love the channel, subscribed and I always look forward to your vids.
Are you planning to update this guide to 2018?
hello, if u flip signal cable 3 and 4 from esc to flight controller than u don’t need to cross cables 3 and 4 to motors 🙂
the pdb is no available at the moment?? Is there an easy alternative?
What battery and charger should I use.
what battery should i use for the samguk motors with the other components in this build
What receiver should I use for the FS-i6s. Also any tips on hooking it up?
It’s possible to use electrical tape instead of the heatshrinks, right?
how do I connect an FLYSKY receiver to the flight controller?
Updated video on 99$ quad please…….
Could these things go upto 80mph????
I just ordered everything needed to build and fly your $99 (but upgraded) quad. I went with the racerstar 2600 motors…is the 20 amp 4x esc up to it or should I have upgraded to the 25 or 30 amp one?
I splurged on the aomway commanders.
Give away
i did everithing and it dose not work what should i do
hey stu im having trouble finding windows 10 drivers for the spf3 flight controller i was wondering if you could help
I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. I recently got out of the Army and while I was out of the country my 10 year old son found your page and started to really liked all this drone stuff. We don’t have tons of money as I haven’t been employed yet as I suffer from PTSD (I was in Special Forces so my job was not only physical but mentally draining on me. Watching tour videos over seas bonded me and my little man so much. I’m hoping to one day get a couple drones for me and my son so we can get to spend time and I can get to know my son even more since I’ve missed out on so much. I see sometimes you have drawings for some of your builds and my son says it his dream to win us some drones since money is so tight and for us to have something fast and fun even at the 99 dollar bid is just a little out of my reach right now. He asked dad to find out maybe when your next build or give away might be and how my son and I can enter. Either way I just wanted to thank you for bringing my son and I closer together while I was 1000s of miles away. Thank you Sir we enjoy your videos so much. And again thank you and have a blessed day.
so i guess the setup of the flight controller is the same as for the 100mph build?
so i guess the setup of the flight controller is the same as for the 100mph build?
is there any sort of programming needed on the FC?
Awesome drone
Great video thanks
Hi Stu, first build went well, what ESC would you recommend for a second build with EMax red bottom motors? Thanks
What is the weight of this drone with and without the battery?
you didnt show how to wire up a reciever
Herro and good morning! Im gonna build my first quad soon, just waiting for my esc‘s… and for now i‘ve got only one thing i don’t get. He says it doesn’t matter what direction the flightcontroller is facing, but you need to put the direction into the computer after, if that makes sense.. how would you do that?! Thanks if anyone can help
I Hope its Not to Late to Win one ?
Thanks for the good info
Quick question – did he miss out receivers? or do receivers come with one of the listed components?
Y this vid have no 1 mill views!?!?!?!?!
what battery would be best, i was thinking a 1500 mah 4s
which drone is better with 2 wings or 3
Receiver comes with the remote control he had listed. FS-i6 (FS=FlySky) Remote Controller. You buy the receiver along with the Remote Controller. Often you can buy these separately! So you dont have to buy them both together. You can mix other compatible brands of receivers and mix and match controllers. So just check when you are purchasing if the receiver comes with the controller. My receiver is the FSi6AB and Im using the FlySky FS-i6 Remote Controller.
Using Cleanflight! This is a software program used with Google Chrome. You download this program onto your computer. Then we use the small port on the side of the flight controller to connect up with your computer. You don’t need batteries to do this as the USB port on your computer will power this FC (Flight Controller) chip or board. USB smart phone android power chord fits the socket. Start watching videos regarding ‘Cleanflight’ and what’s called flashing the Flight Controller (Updating it basically).
Yes! or Well No! Setting offset axis on FC is considered programming by some….and just calibration by others. I happen to think FC offset is more like calibration.
Download Cleanflight to your deskyop or laptop computer. Open it in Google Chrome. Download google chrome if you have not got it. Click to open the cleanflight software. The first page has links to the software…click and download. Make certain your online and click on the links to the software. Links are pretty obvious and I think in BOLD font.
Plug flight controller in to a usb port and see if lights come on. Use a normal USB phone charging cable (NOT AN APPLE PHONE CONNECTOR). Red and blue lights then its not your flight controller.
Look up Stu’s second build I think it is. Look up PPM SBUS and PWM watch at least one Youtube clip explaining this. From one noob to another I think there are a couple of ways. But Im still learning. It may depend on the receiver you have purchased. I used PPM. Ill let you know if I get it sorted before you find out.
Try Hobby King for the same PDB. Stu has chosen this for cheap & reliability. There are many others
Sometimes the price has even risen on some parts when more people start to buy them more. 2 years time it will be a PDB FC ESC OSD LED GPS combined and other parts for $75.00. These drones however will always be developing and therefore the price should remain relatively high if you want modern performance. So what we use today may become obsolete as research and design sees newer control levels design concepts and engine power to weight ratios.

GIVEAWAY IS FINISHED. Congrats to “Davo Johnson” check your youtube inbox and we can go from there and organise to get this little bad boy out to you. Thanks to everyone for entering and I hope this has helped so many of you get into this awesome hobby : )
99$ plus 200$ transmitter then 100$ goggles
What kind of battery is best to us?
Love this
I bought simonk 30 amp esc’s and then went bankrupt…. 😛 Time to beg for money from my father.
BandGood Bad!! Ripped me off!! Beware!!
Ah i see.. Thanks a lot. I can use betaflight instead right?
Hey, so I should be using a 3s battery or could I push to 4s? and if not any good suggestions on batteries for either or?
Hi Dude, I have a question . I have spectrum dx 7 black. Its new and I want to drive racing drone with it. I was told I will need receiver so I was pointed to spm4649t. My question is. Should I sell that transmitter and buy frsky or some other ? P.s. I have never drived racing drone. I play steam’s Lift Off game and have some chinese drones.
Aloha Stew LJ from maui built this bugger and wondering what are some good pids
Aloha Stew would like to know what pids you are using on this build
thanks it is my flight controller thanks for helping
Hey Stew!
I’ve been trying to build this quad for a while now. I have followed everything perfectly but when i plug in battery the vtx doesnt light up, its like its not getting any power. Pdb and the fc both light up. Do you know what the problem could be? I’m building the Upgrade version. Thanks 🙂
GB Yes I think you can but I’m really a booby and I’m not certain. I’ve only just updated the cleanflight and that was a huge learning curve. Just ask a couple of other people see how you get on with getting an answer.
Do you have to use a computer program to set up the drone? If so what is it called?
Is there a way to put OSD in the quad? If not, how do you know when to land without harming the LIPO?
GOOD DAY STU! I have to say this quad and your videos made me get into fpv. I haven’t flown this yet but I have crashed it very well and noting broke!
THANKS and subbed!
Ordered all components for the upgrade build along with the Taranis Q7. Do you have an install video for this receiver? (Now I have to wait a month for all the parts to arrive….)
Could you do something similiar in 2018?
Does the upgraded version have an OSD ?
wowzer …those truly are some beasts you got there…bad ass buddy.. I’d love to try or maybe build one..
Which battery should I use with this?
Also, will the TH9x receiver fit with this drone?
Hello there! I have a question for you! I’m a noob in drone world soooo…..
I want to change the props on my two drones, a JJRC H47 and a H122 HUBSAN X4 because I have this curious habit to mod everything I can put my hands on! So I said to myself “why not?”…
Do you have some suggestions, apart the screw holes dimensions (that have to fit)? What about a 4 blades for the H122 and a 3 blade for the H47?
(beside… I am modding the H47 in order to load a more capable battery so I am trying to light it up removing all the removable! I just love to mod drones!! So much satisfaction! ^_^ )
Best video ever. Thank you!
what place does the battery go?
what should i get for a battery?
Does anyone know the weight of this drone? I’m looking to build it but where I live has restrictions. It would be great if you could help me out. Thanks!
Excuse me, I am a 13 yo newbie and would like to know what battery to use. Also, could you put a small runcam (maybe a swift) on it? Thank you
What battery should I use for this?
I built the upgraded version. The quadcopter is absolutely uncontrollable. What PID settings are you using?
Hey @UAVFutures Please can you do a updated video or let us know if one is planned? allot of people are interested!! This video is amazing but Possibly outdated now? Pleaseee let us know if something is planned so we can hold of buying old parts.
Mine only came with 4 standoffs where did you get the extra 8??
Don’t build your very first quad when it’s already too late. I couldn’t wait to start, even i was so tired.. messed up connection from esc to motor 3 and 4. i‘ve cut the %*$*~&! wires too short… now i either make those wires longer again, or use other motors.. very annoying
Hi this is a nice video, but can anyone help me on what type of remote control and receiver to buy. I’ve watched some videos and some of them show the types of radio controllers they use for the build. Also how do you know when you need to set up the flight control board to the computer? Is it when the flight control board comes without an on screen display? If anyone could help, thanks.
is the video still relevant? Im wanting to get into quads and looking for a good modern guide.
What max flight time do you very with this quad build??
Will the three blade props effect flight time?
how fast is he goows
How do i connect my radio to this drone? Software?
Forgot the 3 and 4 esc crossover and cut slightly to short….
What is wrong here?
I built it but I have serious strange problems, pleas halp
Problem description:
It flies. good actually! Until it doesn’t. I have tired it 3 times. After tens of seconds or about a minute or so, very suddenly one or two motors fail (at least it looks like that) and it flips, and goes straight for the ground and crashes. So three frames are done 🙁
I resoldered everything before the last flight.
I used these parts:
– Lantian PDB Power Distribution Board with BEC Output 5V 12V 3A for CC3C Naze32 Upgraded version for RC Drone
– F3 Flight Controller Acro 6 DOF/Deluxe 10 DOF for RC Multirotor FPV Racing Drone
– Racerstar Racing Edition 2205 BR2205 2300KV 2-4S Brushless Motor Red for 220 250 RC Drone FPV Racing
– Racerstar RS30A 30A Blheli_S OPTO 2-4S ESC Support 16.5 Dshot150 Dshot300 for FPV Racing
– FrSky XM+ receiver
– 1.3 Ah 45C 11.1V
Oh yeah: I did not do anything with high energy, just hovering, above the ground or in about 15m height. No racing was performed with it
Daer, UAVFUTURES.
I’m building the same quadcopter but up grade one. I just need to know what kind of battery you recommend for this quadcopter. Because I’m confused. ESC is 20Amp is it 11.1 or 14.8 which one should I use? Thank you.
Hi i just fot into drone’s. Do you recommend me to make this because i want to drone race. And one more question can i use my vr goggles on this one
beginer and you already know all tath terms? XD, im a real beginer them, because i dont know wath is anithing of tath you writhe with specs of your drone :p, you probably know a lot of drones already 😀
I like your racing drones a lot!!!!!!
A receiver usually comes with an antenna built on it? Please do a video connecting a receiver to the flight controller.
just added a small extension….got it wired up no problems.
Is it safe to use 4s batteries with this? When running on a 4s LiPo, the motors would draw 27.6 A, while the ESC is only able to handle 20 A and 25 A bursts. This means that a burst of 100% throttle would run the ESC at 2.6 A higher than it is rated. Would this cause damage to the ESC or would it be able to survive?
What radio can you use with this?
I’ve liked and subed
Does clicking through the links for the build help out UAVfutures? I want to, is why I am asking. I have seen the same links elsewhere, but if it helps to click through here, I will. Thanks.
How far can this thing go?
What o you recommend to start for with? I’m new to drones and would like to get for but don’t have much to spend. Please help…..
i am making upgrade version so plz help me to choose battery
New subscriber! Am I too late for the giveaway? Or shall I start building?
Does the PDB come with the battery you charge the drone with?
How difficult is it to connect the drone to a radio in which you fly it with?
My camera only has red,black, and white. I believe it was the upgraded option you spoke of. It’s the 1000tvl. So is the white wire video? And just hook it up the same as you did here but only connecting the white and yellow wire? lol
i have the same problem, did you solved it??
hi, nice to hear that I am not alone. Unfortunately not. Which receiver do you use?
I did not try to fly since that post. But I tried to use the XM+ receiver on a different vessel and it did not work at all. Maybe the receiver was the problem. I will try a different receiver tomorrow
New to the channel but really enjoyed the very clear easy to follow video. Is the programming part from a computer difficult to do? Thanks
Hi…. I have problm…. My quad wanted fly…. My FS is sussfaly connected to my radio, and all things on PC done…. Cane somone cane help me? Sorry for my english, but I am from Slovakia
What sort of range would this drone get?
what did 413 people not like about that video .sad people
How do I hook up my controller receiver to this build?
does anyone know the speed of this build? im a newbie to fpv and I love the 100mph build as I love speed but This seems cheaper and possibly more manageable?
Tiberio Cellini si
Vladimir Vladimirovič Putin grazie
How much can it carry? like if you made a custom case of sorts?
i had and old pwm receiver from an old helicopter rc , but this suddenly stop working when i crashed the first time. now i ordered a new Flysky transmitter with its receiver. i can’t try again until its comes from china 🙁
is it time for a 2018 version
can someone with no knowledge of soldering complete the circuit soldering part??
rate the difficulty from 1 to 10 pls
thank you, great video, I will definitely be trying this
Great video. Im trying to come up with a new type of drone but im a beginner. Great breakdown
What is the width of the ESC’s?
I am new to FPV and am about to start my first quad. How do you program the flight control on the computer?
Which batteries did you use ?
And what was the Mah of the battery ?
Do you need to change some software for the esc? I’ve never built a quad and want to know if the esc’s can be used out of the box
F**k me!!! After a year I came back here again to see this video (which brought me into this hobby) and it almost brought tears into my eyes. Awesome job Stew!!!!
hi, i just tried a different receiver, which works well and did some very low alt hover testing (20cm) and it happened over and over again. It is always the same motor that stops spinning for a second then the hole thing plummits (i guess the fc tries to keep it level, resulting in shutting down the other motors)
I tried to adjust the PWM settings in cleanflight, but it did not help. I now think, that the problem is the ESC no 2
can you do freestyle with it?
What battery would you recommend for the upgrade version?
Wow thats fast!
What battery do i need for this build?
Is the flysly controller easy to link up?
I used the upgraded camera, but it only has 3 cables, voltage,ground and audio, but no yellow, no video, what to do? help plz
started this project months ago and am still stuck on the binding. I have dont everything i can think of but in beta flight when i check the status in the CLI tab, I get RXLOSS error. I think this means that the receiver connection is not working. If anyone can tell me why this is still happening i would love it. Not sure why this is happening, nothing happens when i flip the switches that we assigned either.
Hi there,
I am planning out my first build, I have some 6” props, will they work?
hmm, i ordered the stuff in november. Three month later: Still nothing in the air, still not so much fun 🙁
Why not solder the wires from the motors directly to the pads on the esc?
If u live in Canada the total will be for standard is 140.76
How did you fix the camera, and is there a way to get OSD?
Do i need a special transmitter and receiver or would a flysky rc fs-t6 2.4ghz afhds mode 2 6ch work
how to remote control it? how to write its code? please make a video on it
Dude, thanks! Mixed and matched some parts from this and some other parts i liked, definitely an amazing little quad for its price
maybe next time
IT’S NOT 99 DOLLAR BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BUY THE BATTRY , CHARGER ,RESIVER,CONTROLLER YOU NUMB SKULL
I could use you in my Imperial Army. You can do more with Tie Fighters.
Managed to build my very own $99 race drone using Stu’s video here. I used the Martian II frame instead and bought a separate Matek PDB and It went up to about $220USD including the FS-i6S I got to fly it. Just checked that it hovers! Wanna say a big ‘Thank you!”to Stu 🙂
I just recently started the upgraded drone and just realized I don’t have a battery to run this drone. What do you recommend ?
Hi guys! Im not certain if anyone has had the same issues. If you try setup the way Stu describes and your receiver binds to transmitter but is still not communication its rates within betaflight or cleanflight then solder the single signal wire from the receiver to the underside of the SPF3 flight controller to the single pad labelled PPM. You will see it clearly labelled. This should solve the issue. My UART 3 pad was providing power but not signal. So the RX does not work on some of these boards. Same issue existed with IBUS & PPM setup through the IO ports on my FC board. Power existed but not the signal cable. Try Stu’s way firstly but if problems persist try other port ppm io2. All else fails try what worked for me. Problem was immediately solved by directly soldering the signal wire to the small PPM pad. Cheaper Chinese copies are in my opinion often a total bum steer.
Is this Eachine EV800 5 Inches 800×480 FPV Goggles 5.8G 40CH okay?
Hey man this video inspired me to build my first quad! I used a different pdb and I got a runcam swift mini but I’m using the exact same vtx and flight controller that you have listed for the “upgraded” version. I got everything set up and already did a hover test the only problem I’m having is Im not sure how to monitor my voltage? I want it to show up on my OSD. When my battery is plugged in and I’m connected to bataflight it shows the voltage of my battery up top but how do I get it to my OSD? Please help
I have just built my drone but am yet to fly it as i have a few questions!
how do you know when the battery is about to run out? is this displayed in the goggles?
is there a way to stop the drone without disarming it?
how do you know if the drone is set up correctly before taking it out and flying it?
hope you can help!
What kinda flight time you get?
Once you’ve followed this video: 1. install the usb drivers (like the manual for your sp racing f3 says) 2. use clean flight to upgrade the firmware, 3. then use betaflight to upgrade the firmware to betaflight. After that, watch “GET FLYING NOW $200” by Stu(uavfutures). After that, make sure you watch “Calibrate ESC with Cleanflight plus tips!” by Choony.
To date roughly cost $150 for upgraded version.
Can you do a 50 dlls build , extreme low budget ?
What battery should i use for the upgraded version Drone?? Do you think a 5s is good? Or should i go low for 4s?? Please help
Can anyone make a good ecommendation on batteries?
So what battery and receiver do I need?
Does this motor set up work for the EMAXX RS2205 KV=2600
Hey! Will the newest dys motors work on the drone to make it a bigger beast
Twas the nizzle before Christmizzle, when all through the hizzle Not a creature was stirring, not even a mizzle; fo shizzle The stocking caps were worn by the homies with care, In hopes that St. Nizzle soon would be there; The bitches and hoes were up all snug in their beds, While visions of bling sparkled on their heads; And mamma with her swag, and me in my cap, Had just settled down for a long ass nizzle, When out on the stoop some bitch came around, I sprang from my crib, to knock this fool down. Awizzle to the window I flew like the Flash, Tore open this bullshit and threw out the trash. The moon had her fine titties glistening on the snow Damn son, now I gotta clean this up too yo, When, what to my wondering eyes should appizzle, But a tinyass sleigh, and eight tinyass reindizzles, With a little old pimp, so lively and quick, Woah wait, hold up one moment, is that St. Nick?! Faster than shots in a bar his homies they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; “Yo, Dasher! Hey, Dancer! Damn, Prancer and Vixen! Yo, come on, Comet, Cupid , Donder and Blitzen! To the windows! to the walls! Now run bitches! Run bitches! Goddamn y’all!” But I heard him shout, fore he flew outta sizzle, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-nizzle.”
Fo shizzle.
Hey what type of soldering iron do you use
wondering if you could help me? I have jet boat and want to put fpv on it. Is there any water proof and what components would I Need?
Now it worked, even with the correct motors (used a replacement). And it now totally rocks!
I like to watch your videos in the morning when im making dough. Try to get in to a new hobby
Love the vid
Gooday,
I’v a question: can I fly this setup with this 20Amp ESCs and the 2205 motors with a 4s battery? Or are the 4s with this motors to strong for the ESC? Thx for you answer. Greetings from Switzerland
What part or parts determines range and what is it
Is it really that much cheaper to use a 4 in 1 ESC vs 4 individual ESC’s mounted on the arm?
Hey! I am an engineer and recently began studying advanced aeronautical design to come up with better blades for racing drones. If this sounds like something you are interested in, let me know how to contract you via email. Currently, the limitation is the structural design materials performance at supersonic speeds (that’s the clue). Propellers became redundant when supersonic airflow became achievable for commercial flight. My research is how to push blade design into hypersonic speeds. Science says it can be done with the correct blade design…
i was wandering if you can put a follow me option to the upgrade one and gps
RC?
I dont understand anything fuck! But good video tho.
Thanks for all that hard work…and make it comprehensibly …and i think now i am going to build my first drone.
Can you suggest, which Controller i should buy? …i got an FPV google already!
Thanks and go ahead and many succes with your videos!
battery ?
I have been wanting to get into fpv quads for quite a few years. It has been so expensive though. I really appreciate the time that you have put into making this video. There’s only one thing… do you have any recommendations on a fpv reciever and screen or goggles. And also what is the best deal for a transmitter?
Witch is better wizard x220 or 99$ drone upgrade? Thanks
please can u tell how to configure the sp3 + setup the reciever and transmitter. M new to this and goin crazyyy to build it please help me…plzzzz….
What voltage batteri for this drone
hi
Will this stack fit in a Chameleon frame
Can I use the runcam sparrow for this frame?
What receiver is best for this drone?
who can explaine? where is the 2.4ghz antenna for the radio transmitter
How do you bind a controller to a drone you made
I’m quite happy with my generic brand recording aerial footage fpv drone. Only cost me 50 bucks delivered, HD footage recording. Not WiFi fpv, that form of fpv is underperforming due to serious delay and lack of range.
Hi. just seen your vids from drone point of view. what do you use for recording the flight?
Hi, I just built this quad with a few upgraded parts. The camera is working fine but I’m not sure how to connect the receiver. It is bound to the transmitter and when I connect the battery, the transmitter gets the signal but nothing happens when I do something. No motor spinning and stuff, nothing. Can anyone give suggestions?
Big question: The ESC is a 20A 4in1 but the racestar motors habe a datasheet that says 27A under pull. So why does this not fry itself?
Where does he get all of those little stands that he puts under the Esc and the pdb and such? I bought all the parts and don’t have nearly enough
Dam the companies that make these parts should pay you for selling out all their stock
what battery should i use ? i just bought everything exept the battery
what power unit is used for this
Where’s the batteries. If any has any that work with this please send a link in the replys
FuriBee X215 PRO 215mm FPV Racing Drone or this . never had a drone i need help please
Does this quad. Include a low voltage alarm/beeper ?
Which battery to use
Hi Stu and Trevor. I am looking to get into this drone craze but I am finding it quite daunting as most guys on youtube love to throw around acronyms and expect that a newbee understands all the jargon and what it does…. what we really need is for some one to make a video and explain in simple terms what the all the thing-a-majigs are, how they work and how to set them up. Would you please accept the challenge and help us less techno savvy rc pilots to understand the wonderfull world of drones.
Many thanks mate.
wow 1 million
I used 5045 propellers and they are too big, but you recommend that. I have 210mm Lisam Frame.
Where is the problem, PLEASE?
what is the best battery for standed version???
Heyyy everybody! im noob in drones just starting 🙂 and want to build first becasue i have 3 ready to fly… and i have question i have Devo7 from my walkera rodeo and the question is it will work with that reciver? or i have to buy another one 🙂 Tanks!
Pls don’t judge me for my question, I’m absolutely new to this^^ how is the drone controlled? Is it capable with any kind of controller? And how long will the power last?
I cannot get my qx7 to connect. It is bound to the receiver but I’m not sure if I set up telemetry right or not. Kinda new to the hobby if someone could help me
And what bettery you recommend for that? 🙂
*I ordered upgraded version
A million views!! that’s really impressive!! that’s really a sign of a greatjob!! keep going Stu
Hi, I’m a newbie building the upgraded version and I had a question. Instead of crossing the ESC wires for motors 3 and 4, wouldn’t it be easier to swap the signal wires for 3 and 4 at the connection to the FC? I understand for simplicity and not to confuse anyone it was done the way in the video, but would my method work to make it slightly cleaner?
Will the 2600kv motors work as well? They are cheaper in green
from an earlier reply – Yes. Those thrust test numbers are exaggerated. They use big ±5000mAh LiPo or high current power supply so the voltage sag is very small. In our quad, we use much smaller 1300mAh LiPo and to make things worse, it has to power 4 motor so the voltage sag will be high and current will be limited.
Those ESCs are great. I’m running DYS XSD20A ESCs with 2205 2350KV motors.
Rcaddict also use DYS 20A ESC on his quad (Emax RS2205S 2600KV and Brotherhobby T2 2206 2300KV. Both of these motors known as power hungry motors!)
plz sir tell me what is the suitable lipo battery for upgreded?????
these days im building this drone…but i dont know about the battery..help me
oh wow, nice answer thank you 🙂
But unless i tested it to not draw mor than ESC’s spec, i will not try it out. For now I have 4x 30A, it is quite cheap, i am miles away to fully use it anyway. Kind of a beginner.
That is also my biggest critique on mrUAVfutures, he just throws that at you. I think it is bad for beginners. I was smart enough to get me a smaller drone and start with it, after I saw what kind of killer these beasts really are
Awesome video, this works with a spektrum radio and monitor ?
Will it carry a GoPro cam
topspeed pls
what will happen if I use 3CH transmitter? will it fly? 6ch one is a little bit costly
Hy my name is Frank is there a way to purchase one from you
Do I need a reciver or are the transmitters by dem self
I really want to build one now and I am wondering what batteries I should use?
not reseiver?
If you live in the US don’t buy this VTX because it has 72 channels (8 bands) which is illegal in the US
What battery and receiver do you use?
I’ve almost got all the parts here to build this!!!
I can’t wait!
How do I connect a receiver to the drone. Im also using clean flight and my board won’t connect to my computer. I’m getting school credit for this and some help would be awesome!
Is it BR 2205 2600kV racestar suitable with 20A ESC?
hey stew, I was wondering if you could do a video on replacing and setting up all the wires for a tx526 transmitter. because I broke mine(it burst into flames) and I don’t know all the wire to put were. and no-one seems to have a vid on it.
what remote did you use i have so many questions
thank you for this and also listing all the parts,and yes im very new to this hobby.doin my research first before i dive in.again thank you
Just completing build from this video…tested it on betaflight and everything seems to be working just great. Just need the transmitter and goggles and I’m good to go. Did put in a RunCam Swift 2 just for a decent cam.
can someone tell me what battery i need to run this drone using the DYS Samguk Series Wu 2206 2400KV 2700KV 3-4S Brushless Motor CW for RC Drone FPV Racing motor, thanks in advance
What size of heat shrink did you use ?
can anyone recommend a lipo for this build?
Thumbs up from the UK mate!!!
You dont talk about a controller. Do you have a video on the control systems? Im starting from scratch.
U are awsome love the channel keep it up
I pluged the battery in and the Matek Systems PDB-XT60 become very very hot. Now the LED from this component doesen’t work.
haha i failed this build forever ago, but i never got rid of my fs-i6, now i run 40A esc’s with le drib hypetrains! (but i never upgrades my fs-i6 xD)
OK great!!!… now all I need to figure out, is what battery am I suppose to use with this thing!!!!! HELP!!!!!
How would u control this if u built it?
Any suggestions on 99$ 2″ quad? 🙂
Osd?
Stew on both standard and the upgrade the ESC’s are the same, is this a man made error or is it the same in both units
Is there a way to do this without having to buy one of those VR headset things? I don’t really care about racing I just want something to mess around with and maybe get some cool video footage. Is there anyway I could link it to my phone or something?
I would like to make this drone without FPV, what would be the main difference in wiring and necessary parts, and how would I have to connect my tgy-ia6 receiver to the flight controller? If someone knows please help me out. Thanks 🙂
How do you get the video quality on the drone camera to be so crisp?
What battery should i use for the uprgraded version?,Thanks?
Hi everyone I was wondering I built this budget quad but the up graded version but I’m having trouble with my fat shark v3 looking very blurry with the Eachine vtx03 and the up graded camera that was recommended on this build any one no why?
hey stew
just wondering what sort of battery a i to use for this build, cheers
Hello I just purchase a kit but I need the remote control unit too were can I get one please help me thanks mike
Nice. Thanks for taking time fior links to build drone. Thats awsum.
UAVfutures What’s the range of the drone? Just curious.
Rebuttal? Anyone? I get it, a 4S, but there are about 10,000 different types/styles of 4S batteries, 1500mah, 4000mah, long, short and fat, square, what type of plug, etc… any insights?
How about an updated version of this for the new year?
Is this still best for newbies or do we have a better recommendation to date
Hi all.
one short question:
Can i put the Racerstar Racing Edition 2205 BR2205 2600KV on this setup?
Which prop color makes the quad go faster?
OK, for anyone else who’s been wondering, you should use a 3S to 4S, 1000mah to 1300mah battery pack.
Great video !! Just built one.
Thank you very much for sharing! When I save up my money I going to build one!
which type of batteries can this drone run on?
This is my first build and I have been able to get everything installed and programmed. My problem is when I test the motors in Betaflight, motor 3 will not function on its own. When I test motor 4, motor 3 and 4 activate together. Is this an esc problem? I have checked my signal wires and they all are fine.
Yes
My receiver doesn’t get any voltage from the drone . What can I do?
@UAVfutures feel free to give away one of these to me, i want to get into fpv racing, still deciding on a cheap set of goggles though what do you recommend for a decent but very cheap set? i like the ev100’s but not about the reviews ive seen
what about the controller
So cool I have a drone
I was about to do this build…but now you have to register with the FAA in my country and I don’t want to be on their list. Fuck the FAA and fuck trump.
Yesss … i want one!
Is it normal if I only got 4 of the special screws ? I could only fix the ESC but where can I find more to fix the PDB ?
hohoho i want one jesus
Hi, I am Anton and I have rebuilt your race copter but my engines do not turn around do you know why that can be? Please answer me.
ok just bought all the bits ! cant WAIT!
On the upgraded model, should i buy the acro or deluxe model?
Is there a way to do this and have altitude hold?
what about remote?
Ehh, I Wish I Could get One Of These, I never Had A Drone. 🙁
hey I so want one wow!
Stew! I want to thank you for your awesome energy and commitment to this hobby. After watching this video I have completed my first FPV drone. Yesterday I had a few minutes before I had to be at my birthday party and I decided to give it a whirl. I did my first flight just line of sight and was super impressed with how this flies right at the get go. I haven’t adjusted rates at all yet and can only believe it will get better. I was so confident after the first line of sight flight I said what the heck and strapped on another battery pack, put on my goggles and proceeded to run my first FPV flight ever! I learned real quick that I should have been in a larger field but nevertheless had a great – nerve wracking flight and landed several times without incident. I am HOOKED!! 3 charged batteries waiting for me to get home tonight! thank you sir and best wishes to you and yours. Keep up the great work!!!
hi do you build to order ? im in New Zealand cheers 🙂
Can you do a video on adding GPS and Compass as well as camera gimbal. Also any info on the transmitter and telemetry would be helpful.
UAVfutures
What kind of battery this drone need?
?
?
over a million views. That’s so crazy to me. I’ve been watching your channel for about 2 years, and it’s amazing to see how it exploded in the last year. Congratulations!
Hey, isn’t a 4S battery going to burn up the 20A ESC? Based on the chart for the motors, they pull 27.6 Amps with a 4S battery. He highly recommends this combination here. Am I missing something?
What else would be needed to make these autonomous? Say, for me to be able to program their trip by waypoint?
I was worried… I thought you forgot to add some horrible music to your video! Thanks for remembering! ?
I was stunned by this video and needed to build my first quad. I did made the few bucks more version but damn it was and still is good fun. Flying really tangled me up in this hobby. Even so much that im now building an expensive one;) But this one really learned me how to fly a quad.
Thanks Man
Can you tell me what kind of lipo battery i should use
Battery?
UAVfutures Can I use any soldering iron or is there a specific one you recommend ?
i cant programm my flycontoler i can not binde it with betaflight and i have al tribers instaled
Hi, thanks for awesome video guides! Couple of newbie questions if you don’t mind. As the VTX is not connected to FC there will be no OSD on this build, right? Is OSD still possible with the upgraded version FC or does it require a different VTX? Another concern is the frame. All the arms are on one piece of carbon fiber and if you brake an arm during crash you need to replace whole base plate. Maybe it’s smarter to start with a frame with arms from different details or isn’t it really a problem?
I started with a “1300 3s” pack but now I’m flying with “1300 4s”. I had to solder a bit of 14AWG wire to the PCB to go 4s.
The frame is pretty strong. I haven’t broken an arm in the last year. I connected the camera to the FC and the signal from the FC is to the VTX (Eachine vtx03) and have OSD (MWOSD). If that is to any help;).
Which battery using
This seems to be a very popular build but is almost one year old, is it still a good choice for a first build? Which components could be improved?
Thanks
This seems to be a very popular build but is almost one year old, is it still a good choice for a first build? Which components could be improved?
Thanks
Hey @uavfutures ! Great video! I do have a question. How did you record video of you flying around? Does the camera come with a micro sd card slot? I apologize if this is an obvious answer. I’m just now getting into drone building. Thanks and great video again!!
Thank you Stew, I just built this drone. Going flying tomorrow! Really love your Channel.
This video makes me want to build one!?
I love your videos and, thanks to you, I would really like to get into FPV drones! Could you please do a 2018 version of this awesome video? Thank you and keep it up!!
Sir i subscribed, I’ve always wanted a drone but never had enough funds to build i have always dreamt of having a drone, please can you make this dream come true? ?
Did it fly well?
He uses a hd camera, a gopro hero session and mounts it on the top of the drone.
Have you crashed much and is it a costly hobby bcoz of repairs and the replacements?
He did a video on one
Watch his how to get flying for $200 vid
This would be extremely hard and costly. You should watch a different video on how to make an autonomous drone
That is not for fpv, that is a completely different sector of drones
Watch his $200 vid
Watch the $200 vid
The giveaway is over but u can watch his get started for $200 vid, they are ok goggles. Also watch some reviews on the VR011
thanks, yeah i was looking at those VR011 they are a good concept i have an eachines screen i considered 3d printing a frame and turning it into a similar type of thing as the vr011’s, but in the end after watching nearly every review uavfutures has done on goggles, i decided to go with the ev100’s cause i dont like the idea of box goggles, they arrived the other day, but i have not had much chance to use them, but they are looking pretty decent, unfortunetly i dont have a racer, my drone is a big slow thing for photography, wouldnt mind finding a way to hack a cheap $50 drone to remove auto leveling and have an ultra cheap acro/racing training drone, thanks for the reply
fallen over once you get a chance to use them can u tell me if they are any good or not? If you don’t mind. I was thinking about them as well
Aptivari once I get to settings figured it out, it flew fine, the pilot however, needs work.
Great video, can’t wait to get started! Will I be able to record my flight footage like you have on this video with the components listed?
how do you mount the micro camera in the base version?
What for battery have you used?
If you get a lipo and a radio, you end up at 180$… In germany, the cheap version w/ the improved fc but w/o fpv (might upgrade later) would cost as much as the eachine wizard w/ radio and lipo + the fpv stuff. Would you recommend this drone over the wizard or should I just get the wizard at that point? I would be happy to build something myself but if its still worse value it doesnt make sense to do.
Can You Make One For Me?
– Battery And Spares, Plus A Place For Placing My Go Pro?
And Wi Fi Remote So I Can Use Glases To Fly It!
Anyone know what battery should be used with this?
Please forgive my ignorance as Im new to Drones in general.
In the video you mentioned that you would have to program the flight controller.
How would you go about doing that and are the various methods model specific or universal.
I just dont want to start the build and end up not being able to fly the thing.
Also what is the flight length of these drones.
Very very cool
Very nice video!!
Ok Stu 21 days later the first piece arrived here in Austin Tx USA from China. I am so excited to start the 1st build. I have literally been involved for 30 days and your the inspiration buddy. So “Howdy” from us in Texas and know your all the time getting a new group of fpv enthusiasts started. Keep it up. “Adios
Technical Tip. A sidecutter (wirecutter) has a flat and an angled side. Strip with the sidecutters flat side AWAY from the wires. It strips wires easier for some reason.
The flight length of these drones depends on how fast you go but u can expect about 5 mins at max probs. He does the programming in the second video.
It is in the $200 get started vid
No u need a hd camera like a gopro on top
Where do you recommend to put locktite? When building a quad
Nice instruction, I started building but isnt the FC missing a receiver?
Can you suggest me some batteries or the requirements of the battery
Private South Africa check out some betaflight videos. Most builds are tuned using this program.
What batteries and charger should I get for the upgrade version?
jeez alot to take in as a brushless beginer brushed is alot simpler and easier
You missed radios, fpv goggles and batterys
Anyone found a good pid tune for this quad? Tried a qouple of difrent settings but still get some oscilation. Anyone want to share? 🙂
Kinda wanted to see some flight of them
The base build actually costs $110, not $99 and does not include a battery, which is pretty essential don’t you think unless you’ve got some spare magical pixie dust laying around to power it up.
I crashed and still crash a lot. So still fixing and rebuilding it. I replaced 2 motors and the fpv cam.
I bought the fly sky far-i6s controller and I can’t figure out how to hook up the little receiver box to the drone? Anyone know how to
Hey there. I bought upgrade of spracing f3 deluxe 10 dof but cannot use cleanflight as firmware wrong but cant find a hex file to suit.
just wondering, can any one direct me to a radio set up vid from here? curious on the rest of set up!
If I put a 30a ESCs will that hurt anything? I found an echine 30a for the same price as the 20a one on here
PLEASE can someone help me! I am using the SP racing F3 with Cleanflight, with the $200 guide you made. I have soldered everything and connected my receiver, it connects but doesn’t arm or respond to throttle. So i assumed that i might need to ‘configure’ it in cleanflight/betaflight. My FC has Cleanflight written on it so i assume that’s what i should use. I’ve downloaded Cleanflight and all three drivers, plugged my quad in via usb and…….nothing. I seem to always fail to find the correct port to connect with. Do i need to flash the firmware or something? Or am i just failing? HALP MEH
Awsome video man drone racing is also beginning to trend in South Africa your getting me very excited tnx for you Efford ?
@UAVfutures please could you let me know what battery to use? I got the best camera you recommended and basically the best everything that you recommended, the ESC is the same one as shown in the video. Thank you
What size battery, capacity and c rating would be best for the build?
Hey, I know this is off the topic of the video, but I just got into fpv and chose a Parrot Mambo as my first. I am having trouble mounting my Wolfawhoop all in one camera to it, could you help me out?
great video as always…. but what song was that?
OK, I’ve got one motor (#4) that will only bump in the right direction 4 times, then beeps, when the drone is armed and throttle is activated in any “on” position. The other 3 all run in the proper direction. What could be causing this problem? Is this a bad/junk motor problem? Everything else seems to be working.
Great video, but I’m sorry, but your soldering is shit ?
If my upgraded FC light is not turning on does that mean I broke the board? Is there a way to tell if its totalled?
Why? I genuinely want to know, as a hope to improve my soldering skills?
OK, well this $99 quad has costs me an extra $60 so far!!!! I am learning very quickly why it’s a really dumb idea to buy Chinese junk!!! So far I’ve got a junk speed controller, F3 controller board with bad gyro, and a bad motor!! The only thing getting it finished is I purchased 3 of everything, knowing it was Chinese, and just figured it would be junk, and I’ve been right so far!!! First and last Chinese crap, junk, paper weight build for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
really love the videos. just getting into this new hobby and man I can’t get enough of it… looking to get my first kit soon, and wanted to start fairly cheap… if anyone has any recommendations please lmk.
What about the Controller?
Can you race with it?
For how long can the Standard and Pro version fly with the batteries you suggested ?
where do you put the battery?
Hey guys, does anyone know what sort of range I could expect from this drone and any recommended batteries?
Go Australia
you deserve a like
The control range should last further away than you can see line of sight (up to around a mile with most standard gear and no obstacles with good antenna placement) but the fpv range will be about 500m on 25mw and standard antennae although you can easily increase that with better antennae or more tx power. Battery: 1300-1800mah 3-4s 70c+ lipos should do
Cheers dude
I’m ready to try this
some of the links aren’t working…. great video tho. I may try the upgraded build this summer.
What type of battery do you suggest for this 99$ drone?
Pl tell me where to get the contraler to fly it
$99, how?
Do u sell the drone already made? I would like to buy a 99$ drone
How do you connect the receiver?
I know the video is old, build whats the best battery to use with this build? Along with the charger, just started getting into this hobby.
Hey UAV features, what type of battery should i be using? i am doing this for a school project for my VCE.
Thanks
Thanks again stu this list of stuff is my go too.
You have bundred of it. I’m sure you don’t miss one if giveaway to me ?
Just finished upgrade version. Thank you very much for great videos. Keep up the good work 🙂
what about the battery to the upgraded batery
aaritiieess ahahahhaha
My esc didn’t come with the same standoff’s and now idk what to do because this is my first drone ever so could somebody help maybe? Thanks!
Where the hell did you just pull those plastic standoff’s out from? I only got 4 in my kit
Can I use a matek f405 osd std
Sorry I am new to this whole thing… What is KISS and would the upgraded setup run with it?
what kind of battery do you use , does it matters ?
Hey Stu, I’ve done absolutely everything you have said in this video but I cannot seem to bind my FRsky XSR-E receiver to my transmitter. If you have any solutions, I would be glad to hear them.
I bought the ZIPPY COMPACT 1800MAH 4S 35C LIPO PACK and it seems to work.
Same. just use the screws and bolts from the speed controller.
I think you should use the ZIPPY COMPACT 1800MAH 4S 35C LIPO PACK.
I suggest the ZIPPY COMPACT 1800MAH 4S 35C LIPO PACK.
on top
thanks
can you explain please how to set up the radio commands from remote to drone ?
What are the pid tuning configuration for this build just built one step by step was wondering what you put the pids too
Tom George thanks
Followed this video exactly. Can not get drone to fly. This is my first drone. Right now I have it connected to cleanflight. Board is flashed. It is picked up by receiver, and I can see my receiver controls on cleanflight working. Battery shows 0 volts. Can’t figure it out.
For anyone looking at this post 2018 this build is a terrible idea and you can get something alot better for the money
how long do the deliveries usually take?
Cool
this is cool but it is not really under $100. He didn’t add the battery and the radio
its safe when its raining?
I want to build my own quad just like this but I don’t want fpv.. just fun line of sight flying but the issue Is I don’t have a laptop to program everything… what should I do?
The F3 Flight Controller acro or deluxe?
Finished my first build, I used an Matek F4 flight controller and also a Spektrum receiver. I did a few test hover, responds very good.
Do you have a full tutorial how to get this drone done?
What are you using to watch the livestream? and connectivity?
fuck off salla
Hi Stu. Thank you so much for your videos, they’re great. As a total newbee, your videos have educated and inspired me to go ahead and order the parts for this exact drone (with some of the upgrades of course). You’ve made what has been a scary and very daunting project seem simple and achievable. I can’t wait to get started. So I suppose now it’s goodbye to spare time and money???! Keep up the good work.
What’s a good budget battery for this or for an Eachine Wizard?
what is the battery model for this particular drone?
How is the Ovonic 14.8V 1550mAh 50C 4S LiPo Battery Pack for this drone?
Is the Radiolinx AT9 a good remote for this drone?
What is the wire used to connect the AT9 with its receiver?
How does the value of this build compare to the Eachine Lizard95 ($125)?
Hello, i want to build this drone wich version is best to build for beginners. Im new to racedrones. And what is max speed?
Does it take a 3s or 4s battery
How long battery time?
what soldering iron do you use because you make it look so effortless
Which controller should I buy for SPF 3??
when I plug in the battery , the leds is still off, what could be the problem?
is it normal that the fpv transmitter becomes really hot?
Hey guys! I hope someone can help me. I’ve finished the building of the upgraded version. If I plug in the battery everything is fine. I get video signal. And the radio works perfectly. But after a time the video transmitter gets very hot and then the radio keeps having dissconnections. If I turn down the transmitter from 200mW to 20mW the process is slowed down a bit. Could it be a problem to put the FC and the video transmitter on the same 5v connector on the PDB? It is exactly what he did in the video. But I think that the FC could restart caused by the hot transmitter (or the bad connection) so I lose connection with my radio. I have no better explanation for this.
Do you think I should put 30amp esc s on it or will 20 amps be fine
What controller can i get
This thing used to be engineer project look at them now
The price tag was not 99 dollars, and you ramble a little, but this video was still very helpful so that is a like
Does this drone have a stabilization mode. Or is it just Arco
Awsome, love the build for the money
I’m having the same problem
What about the controller
Well I didnt make the giveaway, but if you are feeling like helping out someone that has nothing at all, I would be happy to recieve whatever parts you can spare, doesnt matter what it is, could be like a dodgy motor that you wont be using anymore, I am not picky for I have nothing >_<
I was wondering where you would put the battery
will a 14.8V battery work? im new and looking to get help on what battery anyone would recomend.
Hi stew It would be nice to have a part 2 to this where u set everything up on the computer I’m just building this now but don’t really know what to do after it’s built lol I’m using flysky i6
i need help im soldering my receiver to neg and 5v but what do i solder the other wire to tx or rx ??(im a noob)
Hey buddy! Hope your holiday is going well! I was wondering if there was a way to do this build But with 4 independent esc’s??? i have no idea about part compatibility . I don’t really have a price point, but could you suggest some esc’s that would be good for this?? I just don’t wanna have to buy a whole new 4n1 each time my esc goes out!?!?!?
How do you hook up the receiver
Do you have to be able to program as in be a software engineer or a programmer to build these things?
nice
I came for the receiver portion, dammit!
I really enjoyed the entire video though
Definitely building one of these!
What is the receiver and we’re does it go
K. T., what is the receiver and where does it go on the drone
Which receiver are you using?
I used a Spektrum SPM4648 Racing Serial Receiver and mounted it on the back of my quad.
I have all this equipment and parts and
Can someone help me?
I have the motors soldered to the FC and the xt60 & FC to the PDB but I can’t finish the build because “my solder won’t stick to the pads on the PDB to connect the VTX and camera.
Could someone please shed some insight
But when I want to record that video straight from the dron, I have to buy different camera, right?
What about the controls and comm’s?
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve got stupid questions, and I need answers. I’m in the middle of following this. I went for the micro vtx in the alt parts list, and I can’t figure out where I’m supposed to wire this into. Also….where do I hook up the micro receiver that came with my flysky i6?
How do you mount the eachine 1000?
ut where iss all blhelli and betaflight programming, wtf…?
what kind of battery can i use for this?
Does it have a gyro, and how long is the max range
Is 20 amp esc enough for 3s model, the motor can draw around 19 amps max in 3 s, won’t be it a close call
how much autonomy does it have ?
What camera mount were you using for that eachine 1000tvl camera stew. Using on another build.
Hello
I have rebuild this drone but i cant connect the reciver to the flycontroler. The reciver is working( tested on an other drone)
Have sommebodey a idea how i can fix this.
Sorry for my bad inglish im from switzerland
what remote do you use ?> where to buy?
ok so i followed this tutorial and for some reason it wont do anything .. ive connected the reciever and its paired but nothing works no throttle or anything
anyone help?
This might be a stupid question, but where do you mount the battery and receiver?
After watching the video i did go through the links…cant seem to find what kind of battery needs to be used with it
this went terribly wrong. prebuilt for me. any way to remove solder from the chips? it looks like a toddler took an axe to my drone
The real price is $137 just the drone
Including shipping
Cool video
Can someone tell where the receiver is on this build?
The props are too wide for the motors, how can i fix this? or which ones should i buy for this setup?
STEW! Why is there not a transmitter in the build parts and why do you skip it in the video?
I mean receiver***
Just got into FPV racing drones, got any more of these to give away?
UAVfutures hey mate love the vids!
I just wanted to know if you would be willing to sell one already made?
“99 bucks under a 100 dollar” ?????
Hello brother my name is Dennys and I’m a firefighter from Peru
Hey bro like I was telling you I’m a fire fighter from Peru we are volunteers we do no get money from the government and our equipment is pretty all as you know we have a lot of white goes coming to us this summer and lots of animals trapped into the waters places where we can reach as quick as possible and as easy as possible so we need cute equipment such as drones willing to be cup cats and dogs that way we can rescue them it will be nice if you donate a drone to us if any news hit me up thank you see your brother
And the money I get from work is to Monta myself so that way I can keep helping all the people who are in danger also animals and I don’t have time to build one of those because if I order the pieces from the u.s. to Peru it will take about a month and I have things to do like saving people so
How much does this weigh?
How heavy is this quad when completed with a battery onboard? I’m curious because I need to know whether to register with the FAA or not.
So I ordered the sbf3 “upgraded” flight controller. As I’m just starting with fpv flying I went down the cheap route and ordered a flysky FSi6x transmitter. Can anyone help me as where to connect on the FS-iA6B receiver in correlation with the three neg- / pos+ / rad connections he mentions. Please help and cheers

What type of batteries would you recommend? I don’t see a listing for batteries.
Does anyone know why you have to cross the wires on motor 2 and 4 and have them diagonally all the time?
Excellent video, the only thing I had trouble with was getting the reciever connected to the correct terminals which ended up being on IO 1.
Also I am trying to connect a vtx stealth with bluetooth option and struggling where to connect the tx wire as i am connecting 5v and Gnd to the same point as the vtx in the build any help would be a God send
nice thanks for the intro to FPV
Great video! Thanks +uavfutures! Is it possible to use the build you’ve listed with Aomway Commander goggles? How do I know if it’s compatible? Thanks again
Wat kind of batteries do you recommend ?
“props” to you ?
Is there any way to add a micro sd card slot to record footage?
while soldering together the XT60 plug and the PDB, I noticed those parts got pretty hot (quite logical i know, it’s a large dot)
i was just wondering whether it’s possible to destroy them by that heat?
what about the batteries? You didnt link them in the description
get a high c 1300mah 4s
yes it is
look up runcam split
What do you think the max speed with this setup is?
what battery do you guys recommend on this quad?
Hi, I think to make this drone (upgrade version) just I have one quiestion (for now) I have Mobius Mini camera and I wish to use it. Can I use it like FPV in this drone and record at the same time to microSD card? Thanks for any advice
we need an updated version of this video….just saying
How do you wire the upgraded camera????
how heavy is it?
This comes out to be more than you state, the upgraded version is around 200.00 according to the cart total, thats not including the battery.
What battery do you use?
Does anyone know what battery you would use for this?
Is it 220g or less?
The standard
or 250 grams
do you need to do programming or are these good to fly after following steps in video? thanks
Can anybody tell me the name of the song in the end of the video please? Thanks
Great as always thanks great video , can you please review Diatone GT – M530 N please
Supr
Pls tell me the battery
Does this flight controller have osd in it?
Bana bir adet drone hediye edermisin bro?
Pls update
99 bucks not bad until you realise that you need a 600 buck tx and then batteries so 99 bucks is misleading
Maybe more convenient way is to use connectors, this gives room for easy upgrade and repair, each time cut a wires and solder takes time.
I have a Spectrum DX6 could that radio work for this build?
The price of this quad is not 99$
have you got a video showing what to do after this video. how to connect to radio control?
and where is the receiver for the control. if someone could point me toward a more detailed step by step guide on how to get this in the air , it would be much appreciated
I followed every step for the upgraded version, but my goggles still say “NO SIGNAL.” Anyone know what’s happening???
Can you build one for me?
Il pay you $150.00
can you attach a 4s battery to this or is this for 3s . thankyou
I’m trying to finish my quad, but he doesn’t explain how to attach my receiver to everything! Can someone help me out?
What dhis doler
wich reciever should I buy?
pls respond
Super u give drone for me
What is the range?
Can you give me one because u have lots of drone.
so, how do i connect googles and the transmitter to the drone?
Plz I want I beg I request plz
wrs d battery
What remote do you use?
You should do another giveaway
Where can i buy the battery?
How do you figure $99 for the entire build? IThe motors alone were $109 in the cart!
Hey stew I’ve been watching your videos for a while and i came across for drones a while ago but I didn’t have enough money to get a setup but I’ve recently started to do different “chores” you could say to scrape enough money to buy the parts and I’m almost there so I look forward to getting parts and following your build like I have many times before, keep up the good videos
What is the approx weight of this System?
what controller (as in what you operated with your hands) do you use? Do you have any FPV goggle suggestions?
Awesome video!!!!
I would absolutely love to get one of your drones to call my own. I live in germany and buying stuff like that is gruesome. I am so sorry that i am drunk like hell right now. Still adore anything that is coming right back at me, even if it is a simple hello. Love you dude. Definitely keep up the good work. Sincerely yours (PS: Right Click to solve the grammar issues and typos is so exhausting)
Patrick from germany
What about the receiver – did I miss it somehow during the video? Thanks!
I don’t know how I never saw this… Fucking fpw drones are crazy. How long dose it take you to fly like that. What kind of glasses do you recommend??
Are all those your drones?
Does the spf3 run beta flight?
Cheap, until you see the possibles Drona Radios…
UAVfutures is where it’s at when it comes to FPV DRONES! MUCH LOVE. (:
UAVfutures is the reason why i even concidered getting into FPV drone flying. Knowing how to build your own drone is a huge perk. Keep it up, please.
Where I can connect LED strip and buzzer?
What about the batteries link
What about the batteries link?
thank you so much for this video. This is exactly what I have been looking for!
Hi I am a newbie here, can you please show me how you can connect a Radio receive to a flight controller?
how much dollars are on your wall
is the drone able to hover in one spot
Hey man I’m Matt and I live in Eastern North Carolina in USA and I have just got into this hobby and researched for days and you are the first channel I followed. I love you guys and I also follow Josh. Sad what happened to Project Blue Falcon but I have watched many of his videos too about betaflight. I am currently building the upgraded version of this build and I have the taranis qx7 and the frsky r-xsr plus the eachine vr007 goggles. I want to thank you for everything dealing with gaining knowledge. I will be a patron as soon as I can spare some free money. It’ll be nice to get some surprises once in a while 😉 Thanks again mate and happy flying!!
How does it work for range?
wait where did he get the screws from???
excelente,congrats from Portugal.
Just finished the upgraded build and ripped it around the park. Holy cow the adrenaline is still going, awesome little quad “LOVE IT”. Thanks for the video.
Would love to see an updated version of this, as well as a full fpv what would you recommend for googles etc.
Where did you get the stand offs from?
Pick me im looking to start my drone experience!!!
how do you use audio if you want to?
I want to try and get everything under 200 what do you recommend along with this build!
anyone know of shiny chrome props ? gold silber red … anything chrome goes
What about a controller how much it gonna cost?
How you drive this?, is there a streaming from the drone to a display or something?
best video Ive found so far lolll
Question who take those vids of a drone flying another drone
Me watching this video, won’t make you rich… but boy, I can’t thank you enough for the content on your channel!
does anyone know if the 1000tvl camera is actually 1000tvl or is it one of those that lie when its actually 500 + somthing. thanks
I completely new to this might sound a silly question but how do u know what controller and goggles do u need or dose any go with it thanks
it looks like wizard ?
Great job!!! But can you upgrade it with 3d printed parts?
What battery?
He sais that there is a battery in the bio but there isnt
And I there a receiver inside??
I built the upgraded one just with a better cam and antenas but I didn’t even get it in the air and already killed esc, idk why… and due to esc short over-discharged the battery to around 8V and cuz I’m on budget I will have to send the esc back and wait like 2 months ohh. Wish me luck guys 😀
What music is this
Hello UAVfutures,
I am a drone hobbyist who is making the exact drone for a school project. I am using the Flysky I6s transmitter and I don’t know how to bind it. If you can, please respond ASAP.
Thank you
A student
How to choose right FPV googles?
Can you suggest a online outlet where I can purchase a kit such as this with all parts and controller?
budget flysky $60/ solid median choice – frsky Taranis QX7 $105/ Top of the line choices are also in the FrSky lineup. I got a QX7 and spent $45 on upgraded gimbal sticks and I love it. There is a new FrSky lite controller that looks like a gaming controller that also has some good similar features to QX7. Hope this helps.
Frank Markovich so it is not 99 bux
Had I do it all over again….I’d get an upgraded fc with a voltage regulator(helio spring fc), dys samguk motors, runcam swift 2 cam, maybe an upgraded 4in1 esc. The upgraded fc will remove the need for a pdb.
I am a real fan can I have one plsplsplsplsplspls
How long does the battery last?
Thanks for everything you do for the hobby, i followed this video and got my own youtube channel started! Now im over here getting people involved in the hobby too, keep up all the great work!
can it Carry a 180 gram battery?
Hello freind how to connect flysky reciver to this quad ???? im new to the hobby and all my build was micro brushed ,thanks a lot ! Great video !
So there’s no programming needed?
Question can the solder touch under the pdb yellow battery adapter or does it have to be on the gold ring ?
Witch battery are you using for the upgrade version ?
What receiver do you have?
Joey Perry yes you do have to program iy
Andre Louw 2-3 mins
Mario D’ Quiroz yes, the camera takes video and sends it to the vtx which outputs the video at 5.8ghz and that signal is picked up by the fpv goggles. This all happens in around 0.05 seconds
Whats the song at the end?
Wow nice
Hey Stew, I’m new to the drone racing hobby, and I’m going to build the upgraded version but I have a few doubts, 1. Should I buy the deluxe or the acro version for the FC and 2. Do you know any good goggles that would be compatible with the upgraded version for under $100?
How to connect them with receiver
The flysky fs i6 radio is much cheaper than the i6s. Should I spent a little bit more for the i6s or is the i6 also a good choice?
The Flysky fs i6 radio is a little bit cheaper than the i6s. Should I spent more for the i6s or do you also recommend the i6?
I just liked and subscribed, when is your next giveaway..
Oh yea just built one now i don’t have to get up to goto the bathroom anymore ????????
I was able to bind my drone. Thanks anyways.
hey i plug my fc to betaflight and get this message. CLI mode Detected. Could someone please tell me what that means
I see Bangood have just upped the price on the Frame recently on the frame. I think it got as low as $17 bucks and is now $48. June 2018.
What about the batteries
Do u sale them as well
i feel like I’m never going to get into this hobby :'( and its killing me i want to fly like this
I am new with drone racing this was one of the best videos I watched for drones
what i need to know is if the drone is good for just video shooting. im not an fpv racer but i do need a good camera
Can I use a spectrum 5ch radio with this setup or should I buy a new radio system?
i think i love Australians almost everytime
How long is the life time and top speed?
I don’t have a transmitter or goggles, does anyone know of a transmitter with a screen on it that I can use with these drones?
Can you make one to match the DJI maverick pro series?
I’d like to make a Maverick pro type spotter drone for off shore fishing. But don’t want to spend $1,500 to get one that’ll probably end up in the drink.
149.27 in the cart as of June 2018…
CK_32 these are two completely different breeds of drone, retard. DJI costs so much because of their heavily refined GPS and software systems.
TheCaffeinator just buy a transmitter and goggles retard
Adrian Betts get a job retard
The Assasin buy one and build it yourself retard
Tyler James this why I asked for a separate video dumb ass ?♂️
I also don’t need that shit. Which again, is why I asked. I just need a drone that can spot fish. Is your life really that boring you had to throw a fit about my comment?
Hi Stew,
Thanks for the awesome videos.
Yesterday I finally finished my “cheap drone build”.
I started to buy the drone parts on October 2017, but some problems with China and delivery on my country (Brazil).
Each month I could buy something with a coupon or sale (and when dollar helps).
This delayed my project a lot, including some strip and heat shrinks that never came, but got few from a small local shop.
Got those red motors, pdb, basic fc3, changed escs for a 30v LiteS with Dshot600 support, I recommend a lot instead of 20A AllInOne if on sale.
Learned a lot about soldering, “do’s and don’ts”, proved my previous experience wasn’t that good, but could make it.
Now I’m trainning a lot with simulators and basic flights on real on my day off. Still have all my fingers, so I suppose must be going to the right way…
Just came to this hobby because of your videos, please keep doing beginners videos and tips you may share with us.
You got a “flying citizen” from a small town, located at a low resources region from a third-world country. (Ok, China helped a lot too).
Hey Stew, I was trying to find somewhere this “blue-tech” (or how is it spelled) but I have no idea what is it and where to find it. You said (in some other video if i remember) that this is not meant to be primarily used for soldering. So I would like to ask what exactly is that blue gooey thing and where can I buy it (what kind of store)?
So no software and where is the controller
thanks and see you next year
Just wondering what batterys you suggest for this I’m going to be doing more freestyle with than racing so range is my issue thanks in advance
donde podria comprar un drone de carreras? no muy caro, para principiantes?
Great video my man. I’ve just built my one but it seems to loose control and drop to the ground when I flip. If you have any information I would appreciate it. ?
Will there be an update for this video? Im broke and still need everything since i havent been able to start this hobby
Lol
Can you list some PIDs for your builds please!
I would like to win the green one
The links does NOT work for me i cant open Them
The rc Guys sucks to be you retard
Acro or deluxe FC ??
which remote should I buy to control it .
Can you translate this video in spanish please? subtitles…!?
how long can this quad fly ?
hey nice work i am doing one of these myself are you useing a 3s baterry for this one write coz the esc is only 20 amps so beter to go with 3s lipo yes ??
I have a Spectrum DXE6 will that link and fly
is it the PAL or the NTSC cam version and 6DOF or 10DOF?? pls help
The martian II comes with a PDB should i use that one or should i order the one that was recommended in the video does it even matter.
Thanks
How long do the battery last?
You don’t need a PDB. That’s to distribute the power to multiple ESCs, your ESC is an all in one. You can solder those connectors straight onto a wire from the ESC and plug it into the battery.
You lost my interest at soldering
Thanks.
UAVfutures please tell me where do I buy a controller
the prices went up
what battery to use
Can you please tell me how to connect the radio controller
a lots of comments awaiting for your answer mate don’t get ur fans wating to long pls
Wich flight controller (upgraded version) do you use, there are 2 versions. The acro 6 Dof and the deluxe acro 10 Dof. I want to know woch one I need to buy.
For everything in the upgraded kit+ a battery+ Fpv goggles + Transmitter mine cost about $270
I got the Martian 3 with pdb
what radio transmitter should i get? didn’t see 1 in the links
Thank you ! Awesome vid 🙂
my pleasure
q x7
thanks for the reply
is that $99 aud? or usd?
will this do an altitude hold?
how would i mod this so it can hold its position in the air without me touching the controller?
How do you connect a drone to a radio? And how do you connect fpv goggles to the transmitter?
the upgraded camera uses 5-20V and the normal camera uses 3.7-5V but you soldered it to the 12V?
How long flight time?
Dude I want one in my country it’s so expensive I can’t afford. Help me out man please
Sorry for noob questions but how the hack does record such high quality at that speed?
Can you do a video showing how to configure this drone with beta flight??
Please can you consider doing a new updated build? these videos are really great for beginners however the tech has moved on, we need help like you offer but with updated parts? is that possibly in the works at all?
Can you sell me for 100 dollar im an indian its new to me i love your vedio
That quad is like a muscle car slower on the turns
I subbed and liked ?
I’m gonna try this build. You’re a great teacher. Although I wish you would have explained how to install the Rx. Does it plug into the flight controller or is it soldered on?
thankyou mr futures, got my first quad airborne today…..
Loved the video! Please can you do a video on what kind of transmitter and receiver you can use? I am really confused on as to how many channels to go for.
Lets wrap that carbon fiber frame with sum vinyl mylar bruh
Just getting into this. This video is awesome thanks man
Can you give me a drone just one colorRed
Give me one drone pls deliver it to philipines in katahimikan str 3199
I’ll take one
Can you use the same setup on a 4inch carbon fiber frame from shen drones??
Can you use the same setup on a 4inch carbon fiber frame from shen drones??
But what with controller!?!?!???
Can it carry a Gopro Hero 4? Is there any cheap drone that can carry it?
OMG !! this Drone !!! It‘s an beast !!!
Can somebody please name the only vital parts because I don’t need the camera
Sir I am one of your subscriber and I am in need of drone please send me a drone please I personally request you please.

Where is the remote controller and how do i pair it? Sorry I am new to this
1 million plus views . Good effort mate
I want a racing drone
If I was to make the drone what remote do I need to get
Thanks Stewy, just getting into fpv from helis etc… awesome guide, ordering the parts now to build my first. Cheers Mick
Hello! I would like to say thank you for all your videos. I am 37 years old and I used to race formula car. Unfortunately because of my fathers heart attack I had to stop my career. So I am here helping my father get back on his feet but I cannot race because I have sold all my gear. The only way I felt to have that adrenaline without leaving my father alone I have discovered drone racing. I’d like to get into the sport but I have very limited funds but full of mental potential. I have my racing portfolio so you know that I am telling the truth. Please consider helping me and my father enjoy good times and a possible career in racing again. Father and son racing 🙂 please give me a contact. And consider me a free drone to start! Thank you again for this opportunity 🙂
The screw set that came with the 4way esc was different to the ones you used in the video, can anyone help? Im unsure as to how im supposed to mount the stack correctly if i have different screws
You lied to me :/
Great video and price. FLY LOW AND NOT SLOW.- DRONES ARE THE WAY TO Go.
When Building this drone do I need to worry with getting an antenna such as an Eachine K-Loverleaves or does the antenna on the VTX work for transmitting and receiving both video information from the camera and control information from the radio
Ive been looking on wish for a decent drone for under 100$ and there ia NOTHING compIRED TO YOURS….
How fast does the 99$ model go , Please Answer
Love your videos very helpful and just looking forward to getting a racing drone
The real price is 222 dollars ?
Real price to actually fly $750
Just tested my eachine vtx03 and it got really hot, too hot to hold, within like 3 minuites. Can anybody help? my camera also got a little bit warm.
would you give me a drone? dsdfdfgdffxvdcxzzc
It definetly looks like a fun porject and I am going to do it as soon as possible but I have some questions.
Is there any software to give it commands like branded drones can do, like following you or doing circles around you?
FPV ftw
Beginner question: how do you install remote?
My budget is 200 dollars but everything you need will cost 222 dollars that is the cheapest working drone you can build from this video
I am trying to make this build with my Spektrum remote I already have but I need to get a satellite receiver which is 3.3v and not the 5v that the PDB outputs. What are my options here to get it to work?
I thought when you use a 4 in 1 esc you don’t need a pdb?
doe any one get an OSD information like battery voltage on upgraded version “F3 acro 6DOF” flight controller?
I want to ask how to bind the racing drone to controller?
and how i can controll it? 😀
i used to fly Helicopters. will my 2.4GHZ JR DSX9 work for flying quad copters like the ones you build in the video?
hi , where is control transmitter module ? How can I manage this drone without a transmitter ?
Directions unclear!!! Penis caught in drone motor!!!
does the battery just sit ontop?
I’m just getting into drone racing. Love this video! Thanks
What do you recommend for battery?
Is it possible to connect the camera to an IPhone 6s instead of buying goggles? I am interested in the project but want to keep it a little cheaper.
Very nice video. Thanks. One question: How difficult would it be to add OSD on this?
Is there a good pair of goggles I can get that aren’t too expensive?
I got a question
Can u have the upgraded props for the standard
Hi. in the video it doesn’t say how fast it goes. Did anyone do a speed test or something ?
heey what battery do you use ?
Hey UAVFUTURES, These sort of videos really give people like me the confidence to actually go and build a quad and get into the hobby, however this build seems out of date according to allot of folks online? Please do a updated video? We love this content!!! & I really wantto build a quad, but not a 2017 model, a sleek new 2018 model sounds nice 😀
I’m really interested in building my own. (specifically this exact one)
I skipped around the video because my high speed data isn’t unlimited so I’m not sure if you answered the question I’m about to ask. After building the drone how do you link the goggles and remote control to the actual drone? Sorry if that is a stupid question any help would be great!
Those are amazing and I would like to just 3d pring the frame and the propellers when I make one
Can i use fs-i6 as a remote?
I like drone
Can i just buy one of yours
Hello, can you create a follow-up video, how to connect it and initial set up?
2018 and still watching <3
Realy good Video ??
What’s the fly time of the upgraded version?
Is the flight footage in the video the FPV quality or from an external camera?
I need one Stew! Can you send one please?
i want this drone
Thanks for this video men! I’m waiting the parts from bangood to get this bad boy done. Greetings from Costa Rica!
Are these powerful enough to put a GoPro on?
Getting in to drones today!
Hey man are you Aussie?
I’m in victoria are you able to sell me one
I want to build a quadcopter,, flight time 25-30 minutes,, which Motor,propeller,battery i can use..?
Please hepl me.
I’m looking at the prices rn and I noticed that the upgraded version actually saves you some money about 12$ probbably due to sale tho
What about the software for the drone?
What battery should I use on this build
1 year later and your $99 price is out the window, now that will cost me AU$182.99 ty for getting my hopes up and destroying my dreams hahaha
Do you build quads and sell them?
thats amazing but in real we need to buy remote controller and goggles so thats more than 250$
What battery, transmiter and reciever do you use
can I please HAVE ONE
What is that chequered board that he is working on top called?
Hi I know the giveaway is over but can you help me out I’m a poor high school student and I love fav my father bought me a cheap one but the battery died midair and it broke bid time do you think you could send me a racing drone
How would i hook up the ESC’S to the flight controller if i were to use 4 seperate ones?
Fellow Aussie
you can use a type of cable connector , have 2 sides each side have screw to connect cable and you can change any motor you like
Comment
Just finished mine. Thing is awesome. Thanks Stu
Does the FC direction matters? Some people tell you that you have to follow the arrows, and in this video he just does not care, trying to be cautious here
WOW
Can I have it?
pls??
U got emotional with the color combination
Is it after the steps ready to fly or do I have to program it?
And wich controler can I use (low buget)?
I have spent the last 2 days trying to begin programming with betaflight 10.3.1 and i have had no luck even connecting. i have downloaded the drivers multiple times and i have tried different usb cables and still no luck. Any help?
What’s the range on them? planning to build but don’t wanna go outside the range and break it lol
Awesome vid, if only I could fly well… 😉
How much more expensive would it be to build something like this that could be more like a phantom or is that even possible. I’m just referring to the stability and gps.
Jack Wick look at blue falcon on how to connect, your computer won’t read so you will have to update the driver by using a one of the links that betaflight gives you wich is the 3rd one,
Just look at project blue he will help.
Your quad is not broken yiu just have to do otheir steps before puting in firmware.
UAVfutures what goggles should i get
I am a fan and need one too how to enroll
Please let me know
Love that video just hoping to build my first one
Please enroll me
how did you get the controller
i subbed
Sadly enough drones & drone racing are as ruined as can be here in Belgium. This 99$ drone would cost me 750€ of training fees to be even allowed to fly it. I”ll stick to the little indoor drones untill things become managable, or i have to travel to holland to play around and drive 150 miles at the least. Still a great hobby
Or buy a prebuilt for 30 bucks more
try using imersion rc driver fixer, and the stm driver is not installed to you fully open it up, so make sure that you run all the drivers. And also flash firmware in bootloader mode, and when you try to connect the quad for programming make sure you are not in dfu(Bootloader mode) say it on the top right (should say COM(and a bunch of numbers)
the fc shoudl have an arrow – point in to the front of the quad, it is important
99$ -no battery-no remote…..
Which battery should I use
What controller would u use
Hi what flight computer can I use on this system now. No stock on any of those. I need an easy one it’s my first ever drone
what kind of battery do you use? 3s or 4s?
I feel like this drone isn’t as powerful as his other $200 drone build, and they’re around the same price if you add it all up with the receiver. I would love to build a drone from scratch, but the Eachine Wizard X220 does seem pretty good for the price, and it looks very much faster.
99USD drone, 500USD goggles 🙂
Could you please do a update video on the cheaper build drones. The parts acutely are more closer to $200 AUD – receiver & battery. Loved the video. Thanks for the upload.
please, do an update vid
Hi can l
Hye do you sell complete set drone for 99$?? Post to malaysia
Awesome video. Drones are amazing. Can’t wait to build my drone. I have a small cheap one to practice with and it’s pretty awesome. I can only imagine this one or the expensive drones are probably even better.
Could someone please tell me what batteries I should use? Thanks
None of these FCs are currently available. Can someone recommend another?
can I use a 45c battery?
Ita actually 200$ drone
Thanks for every thing stew! I’m a beginner , fried 2 f.c. s already but I’m still going to hit it head on with all your help thanks so much!
Hahah 99$ for real? Morors are 31$ each
UAVfutures o
Omg I whant dron it’s my dream
I want audio output too what i can do it?
Hi what batteries should I buy
The actually totals like $200 because u also have to buy Google’s and a radio plus u have to have a sottering tool or buy one it’s better to buy a ready to fly drone
Hey man love your content! i really want to get into fpv and i was looking this 99$ build but since like is a little bit outdate? i mean i dont have a clue but looks like you could update the video, that would be great! anyway im goping to get the parts to build this one right now!! thanks
Amazing video!!!
2018? Anyone??
I subsribed turn on post nofinacation bell I would like the 100 drone
can i mount a gopro on this?
Wonderful
Please can anyone link the battries ?
Subscribed. Send the drone please.
damn this quad is less than the headphones i’m listening to! (airpods btw)
Please recommend a completely assembled FPV racer for $300, including a decent headset, accessories, etc – for a user that only has experience with DJI Phantoms (slower moving stuff). And WHERE can I order!
I’d rather spend $600 on a real drone ?
if you want something cheap and fpv I suggest buying the eachine wizard 220s
Where is the cable for the receiver?
I bought everything on the list but I noticed you never put a battery on the list. What battery should I buy?
Can i fit a runcam Split
In there?
I’m a little confused on how to bind the Taranis QX7 to the upgraded version. Also on how to program the drone, could anyone send the link to the video on how to connect and program it after done building? please and thank you!
Is there a link on where you put the receiver together ?
could you please make a video that describes how to take the drone then in operation.
and please also explain how I connect the drone with the remote control and goggles.
a sndere question, in the video was said that you have something to connect to the computer. is this absolutely necessary, or is it possible without it?
You should make a video on the programing video
WHATS THE RANGE FOR THIS DRONE?
yes
Hey stew, i know this video is really old, but do you remember the PIDs you used? I built the same quacopter a while ago and i would like to have a solid start for tuning the PIDs
loved the video! i have a ton of DJI, Im getting into racers tomorrow! Almost like the 1 you built, the furious 220, brotherhobby r5s, 4s batteries….im excited! thanks alot! “D”
Is it ok if I connect with the big m3 screws insted of the short ones because I lost some of them ?
TheMarian1337 Thank you
nice
Ill build this once i get so cash up with my niece
F3 Flight Controller Acro 6 DOF or Deluxe 10 DOF??
If i want to use my receiver as pwn where should i connect my receiver channel’s
Because of you im going to build myself a nice Quad…. i watched the video and i realised this is really much fun 2, cause i currently startet my education as a elektronic engineer… Ty for the Video
So would this build be faster and better quality than the Parrot Mambo FPV Drone?
what soldering iron do you use?
Alrighty!
Thanks for the video, i started this as a hobby after your video !! 😉 its contageous !
i order all of the updgrade kit , now i am waiting for the parts , it´s possible to fly with the drone with the DJI Mavic remote ?
I don’t understand the receiver part
What’s the range on this thing?
Can someone reccomend a radio and reciever for this build ?
What remote and should I use and battery
What remote should I use and battery
how much flight time do you get out of these?
How many minutes fly a race drone do the fly only 4 minutes or 10 minutes or more and how far the fly.
battery?
Hey boss, nice vid but next time your working with a 4 in 1 esc, flip the wires that go to the flight controller. It’ll look less bulky than flipping those huge motor wires. 🙂
Build the expensive one, but nothing happends, i cant arm it, nothing happends att all, guess it stays at the ground :/
i managed to build this but it turns on and is binded to the transmitter but the drone wont respond to any signals any advise would be much appreciated, and also the FC wont connect to cleanflight or betaflight.
Great video
Which controller and monitor do you need?
I really wish you would of shown how to put the frame together ;-(
Bro ive been watching you for awhile now but still have no drone , my son wants to learn how to fly also Good Luck to the winner hope youll have as much fun as my son and will when we can aford one…
How fast can the pro go ?
With the 99 dollar version, whats the range and flight time on that?
Con you give me link to buy this dron online
what about the controller ??
if i want to build 2-3km quadcopter and 20min flight time how much it will cost ? plz i need help with list parts
how to I bind these with flysky fs i6 or i6s?
Tens of DU depends. Do you mean video range or control range?
Gamesland Store yes
Dude your videos are awesome!
what the mah you need on the batteries? and how many cells? 3 or 4?
Does it stabilize itself? Thanks
I just build a FPV drone trying to use the lowest price parts that are still decent. I found the EACT same ones you did, same PDP, FC, ESC, motors and camera. But I 3D printed the frame. I can make a VERY tough frame on my printer an if anything breaks I can make replacement parts. Cost is 2.2 cents per gram. Then I can modify the fram any way I like.
One comment — you cutt of the brick wire from the ESC to FC. That is a bad idea. It is a “signal ground” and is much cleaner then the power ground you are now using. Without that black wire the return path for the ESC signals is via the clack wire that goes to the PDB then through the PDB and so on. VERY noisy. Yes it works, but works better if you connect the black wire you cut to the ground rail some place very close to the black wire from the PDB.
Does a 30C battery work?
My hands start SHAKING as I get close to the board, not when I tin. But man I shake like a deeeeeRUNK.
I know this is an older video but my dad has build the “pro” version of this but can’t get it flying because he’s saying it isnt programmed. Neither of us is computer savy. But I feel like it would be more of a plug and tune with your radio. But I dont know. If anyone could maybe give us spme assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
give me one please
Great affordable build. I started with the dromida vista and this is exactly what i want to upgrade to plus i love building esp rc since i was little. What would you recommend for power source with ample fly time? Love the wall btw!!
How heavy is it???
If I don’t want to fly with fpv do I have to solder anything to the pdb other than the flight controller
Wonder if I can do this with a 3D printed frame
Hi bro this video is awesome, and the links in the discription are dope
Just by seeing this video I am going to like and subscribe
I have a Liliput 664/w Monitor. It says that it will be fine for 5745. Is there a difference in “Raceband” Tx’s Frequency’s as sometimes I have read it on some tx’s as “5745m”. What is the “m”
Super PUMPED for drone racing and drone photography!!!
is it possible to install GPS as well ? and if it´s possible , please can u sent me a link which parts can i use ? maybe is is possible to make a video about this drone
How do you connect up a radio receiver to the PDB?
Michael Harris It sounds like a 3S 1300/1600mAh would work well- around 4/5 mins fly time apparently
adirdays 3 and 1300 I’m gonna use. Light but sounds like 4/5 mins flight time
Nick Jones what about trying to 3D print a mold for the blades and just fill it with a decent epoxy resin what’s lightweight and strong or even Mold inject plastic
Michael D how would you prevent the epoxy from bonding to the PLA?
I NEED HELP
i don’t get about the hooking up receiver on upgraded version, you will need 4 wires? but all connectors just have 3 wires. I would need explanation please.
Nick Jones spray coat it with a release agent like silicone or Pam mabye even Crisco ?
Michael D would that let it just slide out or would you need to break the mould? This is my first quad or anything RC for that matter, maybe another I’ll have to try this. Sounds brill
Nick Jones so if not you could always make the mold out of low temp plastic and use high temp epoxy for the blades and just heat up and melt away the low temp plastic
I love to have one so give me a connection so I could build one too
not including controller or battery aka $200 drone minimum
Range?
I’m definitely going to try this out, gonna end up needing one for work, so definitely need to understand how they work
Darn it!!! I am just getting into drone flying and i would have married and made love to that crazy little drone and it would have all been on camera too…Congrats winners…sniffle sniffle…guess i’ll have to buy the parts and make it myself but i’m NO good at soldering….sigh…
Man I would have loved one
wish I would have seen this video sooner, I usually have great luck
Cheers from Aotearoa NZ. I’m going yo get into this. More affordable.
Maybe a silly one but Where Is the aerial ?
Hello mate! First thanks for this amazing tuto video it is amazing =) Also could you tell me what other item I should buy other than the ones from your list please? I am completely new to this but I guess I would also need to buy some batteries for example as well as a remote control. Same for the goggles, would you be able to give me a link for those? and last question I didn’t fully understand how you assembled the antenna, will I ulnderstand easily when I come to do it? I am pretty bad at this stuff and completely new to UAVs. Anyway thank you so much, I am waiting for your answer =)
HI UAVfutures sry for my bad english i buy the parts from the video and i start to build the drone i have the problem i can not connect my f3 flight controller deluxe to my pc can u make a video about this and how to connect Flysky FS I6S to the drone this is my first drone and i need some help xD thx
Nice video but i hate the fact theres nothing about batteries and charging and the price that that will bring with it. As a total starter i knew nothing about batteries and charging and thought i would have it all with this video.
HI UAVfutures, thx a mil for this video! I got 1 question about the ESC vs the motors used. In the specs of the motor it says: 2300 kv on a 14.8 (s4) with a 5045 prop you will pull 27,6A, the peak A of the ESC is 25. Would that be a problem if i use a 4S liPO on this rig with a 5045 prop? Cheers and keep up the good work!
UAVfutures and the controller and glasses for the fpv drone. Do you need to order that or what do you have to do with that?
what battery do I use
I need to learn more about making this
Hi, wonderfull video but i wold like to know what remote controle do you use for it. thx 😀
Do you know a shop , to buy them ??
Hello I am thinking about making a drone like yours can you tell me what battery you used for these?
How would u get the remote callibrated
Can I use a 3cell 11.1v 2200mAh battery?
Sweet
I feel kind of silly, but is there a transmitter/receiver that is needed in addition? Or does the transmitter communicate to the remote as well?
I am from Pakistan . can you send me this drone?
if i win ill need a radio to xD
Great videos
Hey guys, im making the same thing for my school project but it doesnt want to arm, as he showed in the video after assigning the switches and binding etc he flicks the switch and it arms but it doesnt work for me. Ive been into beta flight to see what could be the problem and still havent found a solution. note ive re wired the transmitter to the flight controller to see if that was the problem and that didnt work, there is an “I2C error:7” but im not sure what that is… Any help would be appreciated Thanks
You should get the coloured blutack for the news agency
hmm I just did this build and the F3 board isn’t responding to Betaflight :/
So awesome cheers mate! Can you have altitude hold and gps on something like this?
You don’t understand how good this is for a poor student. 11/10
Hey UAVfutures if I get the deluxe flight controller can I still fly without the acrobot mode? I want to fly normally since I’m a beginner, also I got a fpv camera and transmitter kit not like the one in your vid, can I just solder the the positive and negative connectors to where you solders the esc to the pdb? Please help me out. Thx
Does this drone really fly for only 4 minuets???
Thanks
and darn.. cut the wires to short :D!
Awesome considering I just spent $439.00 on a DJI Spark. Wish I seen this before I hit submit.
Hi I have some questions.
– wich battery do you recommend?
– how long is the flight time?
-how far can your drone go from your transmitter?
nah bro it goes for much longer
there is a transmitter and receiver combo look into the $200 complete kit, it should be in the “popular” section
yeah you can, 4 cell is recommended though
Lies. It costs me over 200
Very cool tutorial! Thanks!
Awesome!
I am just trying to get into fpv. Amazing video. I love it to bits.
can i use a phantom fc40 rx(controller/handset) with the parts you have linked for this build? would save some pennies using my old phantom parts, love the channel have just clicked subscribe 🙂
… Can you get carbon Kevlar chassis ?
It’s like the wizard drone idk if anyone saw that one
why u dont swap signal wire to esc?
Why no mention of batteries? $99.00 + batteries?
I really like this video and bought all of the components! However, I wish you would have gone into further details about how to set up this specific flight controller with betaflight and a receiver. It would have been helpful to at least added a link to a different video where you set up this specific fpv drone with betaflight and different controller. I still enjoyed it and hope to enjoy my fpv after many failed attemps.
At the same price. This build or eachine x220s?
Sir make a drone for basic makers within $99
what battery do i have to use ?
Hi UAVfutures
i just bought the upgraded version and like to configurate the controller with cleanflight. My problem now is if i open cleanflight it says i have to upgrade the firmware first. How can i do that?
Do the bolts come with any of the parts
is it possible to replace the radio with a notebook with a xbox controller?
Thank you so much for this. Building my own just seemed too daunting for a complete novice like me, but after seeing this I’m gonna go for it ??
hey im a new subscriber i love your vidoes nd i cant wait to buy my first fpv drone this friday on my birthday
With 99$ you will build an absolute trash. Chinese cheap components with high tollerances. Better to save money and build something high end. It will pay off in the long run.
What if instead of swapping the beefy cables of the ESC you swap the ones that control motor 3 and 4 from the FC? Would that work?
Awesome video!!! I’m just getting into fpv.
Please do how to install fly sky transmitter and softer please

Dude . . . your collection … ? I’m jealous lol awesome video though man . keep it up ??
I’ve always wanted a stealth drone that can cruise around and has pretty good range what would you suggest
What type of battery should i run in this?
I love it, nice video i gonna give it a hit !! thnaks!
Does the Flight Controller communicates with the Radio or is a receiver needed ?
Esa papada la construyes y a al minuto de descompone en el aire
Where’s the remote control?
What battery do I need to buy for this drone?
NEED racing drone
I want one 😀
real price is 109$ very nice bro you are good maker thank
one thing i don’t like about this video is he doesn’t explain how to use betaflight and what to do or what batteries to get that will work and for a new user like me i have no clue what batteries to order with this build and once i get it built i have no clue how to bind the radio to the drone or how to set it up
how would i bind a radio to this?
Are you missing the Radio Receiver from this build? How does this communicate to the radio transmitter?
I set up the FPV drone 🙂 but when I plugged the battery in my Camara started to Smoke… also.. I have no clue to continue without the software.
why didnt you used other function of f3 board
which reciver and transmiter did you used
can i use 30 a esc in 2300kc racerstar motor
please make a video on how to control this fpv drone with mobile
Hi i have a big problem, i just built everything and i dont know how to arm the motors, i can see on my fsi6 the battery of the quad but when i move my sticks nothing happens, i tried connecting the spf3 to my computer, its not detetced by betaflight, i downloaded the drivers, still nothing pls help…
I need help with my drone!
I built my drone like you showed on the $99 video and i done everything exactly what you did but mine doesn’t work. I set the FC up properly on my computer and when i tried to fly it the back end would only lift up at full throttle and the front two motors would only move a little bit. So after a while after trying to figure what’s going on i noticed the motors were slowing down so i charged the battery and i did make sure i wasn’t over charging or anything like that and now the main power board had one light flashing and the other light stayed on. I also noticed the VTX started to flash some weird symbols. I’ve already done this once and had to buy new parts because my old ones broke from a short circuit (i think)
How I can get the code
Not in Australia for that price
Lot of drone can have one sir for Christmas i want and i love drone super
hi
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah v blah vv blah blah v v
I don’t see any mention of what batteries to use or recommendations. Seems like a glaring omission. Can anybody recommend one?
Hey man awesome video me and my son are getting ready to build a drone just like this.. is there another video you can point us to that completes the build in our eyes.. one that has the transmitter/radio installed how to etc on that..
How much does it weigh
What size tin wire should I use???
how much is the upgraded version
how much is the upgraded version
You just maked a mistery
Does I need to buy a receiver ? Or it’s built in ?
guys i need your help, i finish the 99 dollar build (upgrade version) everything is working fine in betaflight. set the arm switches and everything. when i try to fly nothing happens. its not working. i got a turnigy 9x transmitter. pls help!!
Thank you for this awsome video just what I was looking for I love building my own awsome tech and a drone is my next project thank you for the valuable information.
How do you power the drone?
HELP ME PLEAZEEEE im trying maiden flight i arm it motors spin up i give a tad bit of throttle and it starts flippin shit
great bro, give me just one please to get in this lovely hobby, i really love drones
Did someone know which battery I can use to this drone and link it?
@uavfutures What about the remote control? Can you please provide information about that? Thank you.
Which battery do you recommend and link it?
You meed 92.48€
lol why not just disorder wire from esc n connect motor there
do you need the radio to fly?
For the love of all things electronic, LEARN TO SOLDER FFS please go learn how to. Then go learn how to use cable management ffs one of the worst drone put together videos I have ever seen
Hello, what about The pids? I Build exactly the same but have a lot of Oszillations.
what battery does he use?
what radio and riciver do u use
How fast is this
Hi Stew, quick question. I’m green horn to hobby. I got raven drone with controller. Is this controller able to operate Ur builds? I got base to start but unsure if need option U advised?Thanks.
Awesome work Stu. Hey all, I’m using a 3S 1300mah 110c battery, probs spin tries to take off but doesn’t seem to have enough throttle. Any suggestions what I’m missing here?
plzz give me
I have a question. Why do I need to remove the Ground Wire from the ESC for the signal connections?
im new to this but i would love to see if you can build one cheaper then that about $50 to $70
Great Video! Thanks! Any suggestions for a valuable Radio and Receiver?
what is good battery
What distance can it cast FPV at 10 feet?
i am not able to mount the caamera in the upgrade version
What Happens If i use a 3s 2200mah 25C battery instead of a 3s 2200mah 65c battery in this?
what a time to be alive
finally got mine up and flying, love it
does anyone know how to charge the drone ? or what the power source of this drone is ?
Only decent guy teaching how to fly and create a DIY drone. ❤

is there altitude hold on the base version drone thanks 🙂
Hello everyone! This is my first build and I can’t get my drone to work. I setup betaflights and everything but my flight controller doesn’t talk to my receiver nor to betaflight. I hope someone will help me with my problem.
Thank you!
I am n my first build. Can’t really help. Sorry
I’m super interested in building a drone, and your videos have helped a lot in finding the right price range, parts, and learning how to assemble. One thing I still don’t know enough about yet are the transmitters, remotes, and getting a pair of goggles for one of these things. I’ve found some good goggles online but my biggest concern is accidentally buying an incompatible transmitter. On top of that I’m also worried about the same issue with remotes. Any advice?
Wow this video was extremely helpful. I got myself in the drones, but The ones I have! They completely suck.
Bro please tell how to connect remote for it please reply or make vedio
Did you not use betaflight after you build the quads I watched a few of your build videos and I noticed that you don’t talk about Best Buy betaflight
nice
what camera did you use for the footage at the end? it doesnt seem like it’s 600TVL.
I’m new to this fpv drone world how would I hook up to record video I know I can maybe attach a hero 6 to the drone but what else can i use to do so
I’m new to this fpv drone world how would I hook up to record video I know I can maybe attach a hero 6 to the drone but what else can i use to do so
Anyone know how I could use my iPhone to see what the camera on the drone sees while it’s flying?
Nice work man. My life is “RC”
Those drones look awsome.

Enjoying the videos however might pay to say you’re talking US dollars not AU
i am from malaysia and i have built a drone like in this video. but i had to buy battery, battery charger, transmitter, goggles and its cost rm1589=378.37USD
Do you post to Alaska? Hook me UP!
any 4s lipo would do but i recommend the china hobby line series
+miguel ferrer Thanks for your reply!
I am creating my setup so I would like to use 210mm 210XT frame, 2300KV motors, F3 flight controller Deluxe 10 DOF, three-blade propellers (2.0X4 Inch), 14.8V 1500mAh 75C battery, 5.8G 72CH 0/25mW/50/200mW switchable FPV Transmitter and 2.1mm camera. Any suggestions? And which speed controllers and gps should I use? Thanks!
I do not recommend building this. I tried to build this thing for 114 days and no flying over $500 on trying to fix and make it fly. Ask me question.
I want the upgrade version plz
Can anyone staying in India tell me which website to buy all of this stuff from? I don’t want any faulty boards or motors.
I put this all together how you did for the upgraded version and did the steps for the controller like you did in another video and my motors wont arm they spin a little when the battery is first plugged in though could it be a bad pdb board?
Edit: also the antenna for the goggles get extremely hot ive burnt my self 5 times accidentally bumping into it. I need a lot of help understanding what is wrong and why it doesn’t work
Can I use 11 v battery instead of 14v
Hello ! What kind of battery and charger will i need for the Upgraded version on this drone ? Thank you very much ! 🙂
Hi im brand new to fpv racing drones and i want to build the upgraded version of this drone. I got to 32:32 and got confused when he started talking about recievers, are they the antennae that hang out of the drone? Are the recievers listed in the parts or do i need to find my own. If i do which one do i choose? Thanks.
How much will it cost in Indian rupees
Well I’ve built this drone upgraded version got myself some ev100 goggles but it doesn’t show osd ie. voltage, rssi etc. What have I done wrong if anything lol?
Do you have a video that shows how you programmed this drone on clean and/or beta flight?
Bro ? Everytime I watch ur Vedio and comment . But I haven’t received one of the drones yet

Is the fat sharks hd3 core compatible with this drone?
Ive followed this guide step for step, all the lights come on when i plug a battery in yet no beeping from the ESCs what is going on?
After watching your videos I realised that if I was to make a drone it would be allot cheaper and I would get a better drone out of it. I regret spending my money on a pre built drone now
Awesome video!
Looking for budget best bang for buck drone to use to chase drift cars. Never flown before so I don’t want something crazy expensive or complicated,it’s gonna get mangled and I’m not good with fixing stuff lol. Aiming for $300 or less with battery,goggles and whatever else needed to fly out the box.
Drone fucking crumples at 40:00 rip ?
Wich battery shoud i use?
hey man what type of soldering iron do u use
You should use a 4s-14.8v battery but I would highly recommend to get the v2 version of the $100 build.
Absolutely nothing, this quad doesn’t have a osd.
Yes, I wouldn’t recommend it personally though. I would also HIGHLY recommend to build the V2 verison of the $100 build since it comes with much better components.
You haven’t done something right if it took you 114 days and $500, it takes about a day to build a quad like this and it flies fine. You just simply do not know how to assemble a quad right.
Basically, ya.
+Astro how much mah?
+Astro And do you need sofware for this?
+robbe saeys I’d recommend 1300mah.
+robbe saeys Yes, you need the Betaflight software to configure the drone, it’s free to download on the Chrome web store.
If you want to not cross the motor3 and 4 esc wires could you just swap the wires coming from the fc
Hey ! I builded my first quad based on this video I have the exact same setup as the pro version but with the difference that I puted it on an 250 4mm thick arms frame and is a little bit heavier what props would you recommend me to use ??
how many mAh batteries s4 goes into the drone? I am a new drone pilot
The “PRO” Version is about 20$ More!
Very helful, keep going thanks for information!!! 😉
Can you add a GoPro to this build?
Im fairly new to this awesome hobby, i have a beginner friendly setup that has optional acro. Looking forward to getting my hand on something more kick ass and serious like this beast of a build later down the track ?? love the build and fly video’s.
Thanks a lot in was searching it for more than a month
So I finally got my build done and connected to Betaflight. What a learning process…. But I have a problem. Motor 4 will not spin. Tried another motor on #4 esc wires and still no luck. So for some reason motor 4’s ESC is either bad or something. Cant find a solution or a way to troubleshoot anywhere. #4 motor on Betaflight appears to be putting an output out on the motors tab.
How do you arm and disarm it with the controller?
Easier way to tin wires: Put flux on the wire, and add a tad of solder to the iron, then touch the solder ball on the iron to the wire. The flux will cause it to instantly suck the solder into the wire end. No need for three hands.
Can i buy you the build drone not the one you have to assemble . i have controllers and goggles just need the whole working drone. link or name of drone please thanks
Could u make an drone which is very stable at air
what kind of rf did u use
can i use a random transmitter for this??
tried to power mine on once, vtx burst into flames and fried it. There goes a year of saving yay
im half way through building this and i have got to 32:19.
what the fuck does he mean by this???
i thought the antenna thing is the receiver. do i need to get a receiver too? or have i built it wrong by following this badly made tutorial?
Yes, you need a receiver for your quad too. The antenna thing is the video transmitter that sends the video signal from the camera to your goggles. The receiver he is mentioning is for the radio transmitter for example the FS-i6 or the X-lite. If you could tell me what radio you have I can help you out on what receiver you have to order. If you have any more questions I am here to ask!
Yes, a random transmitter and a random receiver. Just to be clear the thing with the antenna isn’t the receiver for the radio it is a video transmitter
every drone is very stable in the air as long as you are using acro mode
did you already set up betaflight?
Maybe you should try removing the bell of the motor to look if there is something inside keeping it from spinning. Happens a lot with cheap motors…
You just need a battery strap or a gopro holder to record your flights via gopro
The standart is about 1300mAh.
the 3-bladed ones. Especially for 2019 2-blade props are pretty much outdated.
The wizzard x200 or x220s are still a pretty good deal. They cost around 100$ without transmitter or goggles even though there is a rtf kit for about 250$.
He is flying with a external camera in the video.
+qEGli wow thanks! those were the ones I ended up buying.. at least I made the right desicion then haha
+saphire1324 Have you already flown it yet? ; )
+qEGli it was the esc. Bad 4 in 1
+qEGli yeah but im still a newbie I mean I just fly it on horizon and angle mode I need to practice waay more to manage acro mode haha thats why I needed those props hahah im pretty sure there are some crashes to come
+JONBOYLEMON I would definitely upgrade on the escs. There are many good ESCs that are almost as cheap as this one. One Tipp. If you want to upgrade keep your hands away from 4in1 Speedix ESC they have the same performance as yours just tow times more expensive
Thanks buddy awesome builds!
what are the best batteries for the drone? Can they be to heavy or does the wheight not matter?!?
What about the bloody battery! I ordered all the parts and you NEVER mentioned the damn battery! P&P fees are a joke too!
do you have video that describes how all the components interact with each other and what they do? kind of beginners guide? and how do you connect it to radio? etc…
My friend and I wanted to make drones. We had both used a drone before, quite a bit I might say… But we wanted to build them. This was super helpful, thank you a lot!
What battery?
What Battery – PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE reply

upgraded is better but I have a newer updated video now
yep, sure can
Where the fuck is raspberry pi here in this playlist?
currently, with a battery, controller, goggles, charger and the upgraded drone is just under $300 NOT COUNTING SHIPPING. You should get speeds of about 110-125 If i am correct.

What battery do I use?
I can’t believe how many views this video has man! Got me into FPV almost 2 years ago! Time to make a new one, some of these parts are discontinued and there are a lot better options out there for beginners that will make their first quad fly a lot better
I have the xm+ receiver.
But I don’t know how to solder it to my quad?
Can anyone explain this to me?
Again no battery info
