A tip for getting GPS lock faster: connect the FC to a powerbank using a USB cable, that should power the GPS on but not the VTX. PS. You seem to get a lot of motor static in your video. What capacitor did you use?

With proper capacitor you can have almost no engine noise: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF7OpKynhsSpkJI

@flippingfpv 2 ай бұрын

I'm not too bothered with this hack. I'm quite happy to plug in and wait. The FC isn't sending enough power to the GPS with a power brick. But I'm getting do much flight time so I just plug in the li-ion while I'm setting up.

Nice! l Love these custom li-ion batteries! I made a 4s 4200mah pack for my 5" race quad, and get 22-24 minutes consistently flying pretty normal (dji 2305 2400kv motor with snail 5048 props.) I don't go crazy hard, but wasn't easy on the battery either. My worst flight was about 18 minutes when I was trying to push it. You certainly felt the extra weight and were down to about 2/3 power, but the flight time was so nice! I also made a 4s 10,000mah battery for the drone, which was a brick, but I got 34 minutes without any modifications.

I'm starting to wonder if mounting the fpv antenna off of the nose and pointing it downward might be better for flying long range. That way nothing is blocking it while flying away or flying back home. It seems to work for my protocol antenna so why not the fpv one as well? 🤔

Awesome videos buddy. I think I’ve watched all your fpv videos over the last two days!! I myself just got the baby ape pro v2 as well. I’ve only flown it on 2s and it’s tons of fun. I’m waiting to go to an open field to rip it on 3s. How long have you had the baby ape now? And is everything still working fine? I think you should really do a long term review of it since it seems like you have flown it for a while now. And your video style is really nice. I think I’m also on one of the WhatsApp groups with you, as I also know henno and a few of the other guys. Made 99% of my fpv purchases from there!
