not sure if you know but carbon dust it worse than asbestos when sanding it creates microscopic hooks which get permanently lodged in your lungs. I was taught to wear a positive pressure mask when doing any carbon prep i was learning to make air-frame structures.

Thanks for the note, I will be sure to use a mask and advise others to do the same.

I got the geprc baby croc and absolutely love it! The flight time is insane! I did all kinds of little finicky mods to it and it really is one of my favourite quads, awesome to explore and scope around!

Yes these little LR quads are great.

I built two 4" LR quads a couple of years ago. They still work great!

Awesome. Yes I think alot of people believe now that you may as well just build a 5 inch with a GPS but I really love the way this thing flies. And I just built a Li-ion pack and now this thing is the ultimate explorer with 1,8w vtx

@@flippingfpv I live in the EU if you want to fly legally a FPV quad that is heavier than 250 grams needs to be at least 150 meters away from people & buildings. 5" quads handle wind much better but you can legally only fly them over empty fields...

I build myself a 3" toothpick, that can fly decent with a 2s 18650 battery and I got 31min flight time, and I can even use it with a 450mah 4s for hard freestyle

Wow that's so cool I should try that with my toothpick. I have 2 batteries to use.

Thanks. I have a 3 inch with a similar configuration

What are the odds man. I just received the very same 1504 2300KV motors just last week to build a 4" LR quad too lol.

Haha awesome! Well I can tell you they work really well. No heating at all.

Very nice build! I like you sharing your thoughts 😊 Almost all the time I'm doing the same: cheap parts on one side and expensive were it is needed. Flies great Your setup 😮😍

@flippingfpv 2 ай бұрын

Thank you. Yes it flies well. These DarwinFPV motors are actually very good in the end. Tested it with my new Li-ion battery and it is doing a solid 20 mins but with no HD cam

Hmm, seeing those videos I need to get back to the FPV stuff, havent flown since 2 years.... too bad. I wasnt good at all in piloting FPV drones, but since my first drone was a Eachine Tyro 129 (bought 2 of them) which are 7inch copter, I liked the bigger copters.

@flippingfpv Ай бұрын

7 inch drones are alot cheaper to build now. You should go for it.

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?

@kmieciu4ever Ай бұрын

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

@flippingfpv Ай бұрын

Hey I just used the capacitor that came with the FC

@flippingfpv 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.

@kmieciu4ever Ай бұрын

@@flippingfpv I use Speedybee FC with 4V5 pads that power my RX and GPS through USB. Then I just watch telemetry on my radio that shows me the number of satellites.

@kmieciu4ever Ай бұрын

@flippingfpv I have 4 analog quads and none of them have the kind of static like you do...

How do you like the motors? I have the Darwin baby ape 2 with them on it was thinking about upgrading them weak magnets

@flippingfpv 2 ай бұрын

For this long range build the motors are actually great but i can understand them possibly not performing well on a freestyler

@grupomexcomer Ай бұрын

How max min flight did you get?

@flippingfpv Ай бұрын

Longest flight time on the Li-ion battery I built is 21mins - with my 750mah batteries I am getting about 8-12mins depending on the weather and how I fly.

@Nunyali5lx 2 ай бұрын

I have the DarwinFPV FoldApe 4 which uses these motors. I get about 15 min flight time on a 3s 850 mah battery. The motors apparently are DJI motors actually just rebranded.

@flippingfpv 2 ай бұрын

Hey man, I have heard that and it IS believable because I feel like I have seen these on a DJI drone before :-) And that's amazing flight times on the foldape! Can it carry a little HD cam?
