I hope you step on legos or a nail today. LOL

I had ordered a spare Pavo Pro II to add to my fleet as a backup. Someone swapped the drone for just frame pieces.

I don’t know if it’s just me… I’ve had a string of incidents that when I’ve order something from Amazon, I receive a used item instead of new. So now any high valued orders, I record as I’m opening. Good thing! Right away, I noticed that the box was not wrapped in plastic. The top of the box also had sticker residue, most likely a return sticker or something. Box was kind of crushed too.

Contacted Amazon and sent them the video of the unboxing/opening. Gave me a full refund, but now I have to wait for another drone. Just going to order direct from BetaFPV. I think the meteor 75 II might slip into the cart…

Does anyone still fly 10 inch . If so, what is your build.

Cześć wszystkim! Szukam drona nr 2, żeby latać w domu i w okolicy placów zabaw.

​Mam już Mario Mini 2.5" z DJI O4, więc waham się między Air65 Meteor75 (planuję kupić wersję O4/O4 Lite/Szeroką).

The Air65 is analog, so I’d plan to buy the VR03/VR04 goggles for it.

​Który z nich polecacie jako uzupełnienie dla 2.5"? Dzięki!

I recently watched this video and I’d like to do that too, fly somewhere for 1 battery and move on. What’s holding me back is this: before I can fly I have to screw the sticks on my rm pocket and screw the antenna’s on my Hdzero boxpro. And afterwards remove them. I’d very much like to skip these steps. Is there anything really wrong with keeping them on and stuffing them in a bag, is the risk of breaking that big? How would you guys go about this?

This is my Flywoo Firefly Mini 25 that I converted to analog with the Skystar Jupiter AIO, with HGLRC Zeus Nano and HGLRC Nano ELRS, running on 3s 850mah lipo. I've made sure all firmware on the board and ESCs are up to date, and I even did a board alignment calibration and accelerometer calibration. Then I'm pretty sure that I put the props on properly and the motor direction is correct, according to Flywoo. What should I do????

For anyone wondering it’s an iFlight Chimera 7 6S LR

This is Smuklik... a Sub250 gram drone, and yes while there are a lot of those- I have not seen too many Sub250 gram X8 (octomotor) drones. This is a work in progress and everything on the scale including prop screws and other fasteners for the top plate (which I have not machined yet) are there. Its not clearly visible, but a sheet of carbon fiber plate scrap that is more than double the thickness of what I plan on machining out is also on the scale to act as dummy weight.

Pictured are two battery options- a "heavy" pack which I plan on running all the time, a Gaoneng 1000mAH 4S but also allows me to comfortably make weight, and a smaller lightweight 850mAH 4S that lets me go way under the 249 gram point even more. So by flying the 1000mAH pack, the point is to have a fully functional drone and not one that barely makes weight and needs to fly on a "vanity" pack just to prove it can make weight.

I am not too sure I can maiden fly this weekend or not as I have a pretty busy week. But we will see. A lot of people I know said that this build simply could not have been done.

Some specs:

• Motors - eight 1103 8500KV motors. I would have preferred 5000kV but I will give these a try with throttle limiting. They have served well in 2" quads on 4S so with these there is more headroom and I have the flexibility to try other props that will make them run better.
• Battery - The two options, previously mentioned of 850mAH 4S and 1000mAH 4S Gaoneng packs.
• ESC - Dual JHEMCU EM40-A 20x20
• FC - Sequre H743 V2 20x20
• VTX - Walksnail Avatar Lite
• Props - Pictured are 3" biblades but I will be trying a variety of other props like 2.5" biblade, and 2.5" triblade, but even the 2" triblades that I had been running with these motors previously.

Thanks for reading!

Hello,

I’m trying to diagnose a strange issue with my drone.
During turns, it sometimes suddenly jerks/corrects itself, almost as if it’s trying to level out for a split second.

I’m not sure whether the problem is coming from my RadioMaster Boxer, one of the motors, or something else on the quad.
I’m flying in Acro mode.
Is there also a good way to test each motor individually and check whether one of them is behaving differently or starting to fail?

Any ideas what could be causing this, or what I should check first?

The frame is a Flyfish Volador 3.5, and the motors are 2400kv T-Motors.
The quad has been through quite a lot of crashes 😅

I’ve attached a video with a few examples of the issue.

Just curious if anyone else has made something like this for working on their quad. I designed it and it's only 5v fans; not a lot of air but runs on USB. I do want to revise the design and make it fold up or "portable" at some point. Also would like to put maybe 1-2 more volts through it eventually for more flow (don't care about fan lifespan). So xt30 or 60 adapter for 2s.

BUT again just wondering if I reinvented the wheel or there was something I could have just purchased? Thanks!

I call this the rollercoaster way

I got tired of the idea of wiring a VTX into every model I wanted to fly FPV, so I designed a self-contained pod for the Caddx Walksnail Ascent Lite instead.

The whole kit lives inside a two-piece printed enclosure (top + bottom shell), and the battery velcros to the side. The pod itself also mounts with velcro, so you just stick a strip of loop tape on any model — planes, cars, crawlers, boats, whatever — and swap the same pod between all of them in seconds. No permanent install, no dedicated FPV model.

For power I cut the stock wires off the board and soldered on a 1S PH2.0 connector, so it runs off the same cheap 1S packs I already use for whoops, and battery swaps take seconds.

Build details:

• 2 printed parts, prints fast
• Only hardware needed is 4x M2.5 x 10mm screws
• One quick solder joint for the PH2.0 connector
• PLA is fine, PETG if it lives in a hot car or summer sun

Happy to answer questions if anyone wants to build one. Would love to see what you end up velcroing it to.
