200mph Drone Build Guide (AOS HS5)

[@dinosabic5383]

I built a aos 7 evo with your motors recently and its so buttery smooth and insanely powerful. Made me buy an aos 5.5 as well. Building that one next. Now im purchasing parts for this guy as well. Badass line of quality products dude! Love it!

[@worldnetsource]

I just built mine, now just waiting on the props to come in. I was wondering where those cerated carbon fiber washer went. It’s all loaded up with your tune are ready to test fly it. Thanks for building such a sorted out kit. I also have your 10” long range and 7” v5 kits on order.

[@cedriclempereur1892]

let us know how it goes - I am literally waiting on the same 3 frames :D

[@MikeMillerDrones]

What props did you order? I can't find specific info on the right size.

[@worldnetsource]

HQ Props - Thin Electric Prop 5.3x8

[@bruhle]

Can you tell if 5.5 length props might be OK? Not exactly sure how much room I have to work with yet.

[@worldnetsource]

@@bruhle I just measured the distance from the center of a motor shaft on the arm to the main body. It is 75mm to touching the main body.

[@alexchulzhanov]

Just finished building one of my own - a couple things I would like to see fixed with the HS5 are the prop spinners don't fit with the HQProp 5.3x8 props (I actually cracked one of them trying to slot the prop in, and decided to use the carbon spacers instead). I would also mention that you need M1.6x10 screws to mount the O3 transmitter (it did include the TPU antennae mount which was nice) and longer M2x6 screws to mount the O3 camera. That and the longer screws that come with the T-Motor 2808 do not fit - you need to use M3x12 screws which work perfectly. I also noticed you moved the surface mount capacitor on the Blitz F7 - I ended up soldering a new 1000uF capacitor to the old pads, which contacts the O3 antenna radiator if you mount it straight up and down, but clears the JST plugs and the antenna by pushing it to the side a bit once assembled. I was going to have the capacitor at the XT60 plug, but there is very little room for the extra battery cable as it is. Excited to test fly it though, already have the tune loaded up!

I finally got a chance to maiden mine today, 220 kph top speed was consistent over 4 passes. Not to shabby, but not as close to 200 Mph as I had thought.

[@MikeMillerDrones]

Just finished my build and got the maidan done last night. I don't have the right props yet, so I just used some Nazgul props I had and still hit 140mph. This thing screams across the sky. I can't wait for the props I ordered to show up. I hope my 50 amp esc holds up.

[@Gurbull]

which one? props

[@MikeMillerDrones]

@@Gurbull I used the apc 5.25x8 for my top speed of 198mph

[@Gurbull]

@@MikeMillerDrones are they just for way to spin? do they have cw and ccw? can you give me a link please? thx

[@sevenshadow]

It's a shame we can't buy STL files! I have a 3d printer and there is no point for me to buy an additional 60$ parts. Plus is not realy an ecological choice considered it will be shipped from the states and I'm in EU.

[@MikeMillerDrones]

You can buy the stl's for $60. the link is on his site to Brain 3D

[@jlarson42]

​​@@MikeMillerDrones on Brain3D site says stl not for sale for the HS5. The prints are available for $60.

[@sevenshadow]

@MikeMillerDrones I have ask them via email and they said they aren't selling the stl for that drone....

[@sevenshadow]

@MikeMillerDrones would you be so kind to put here the link please 🙏 🙂

[@MCsCreations]

Thanks a bunch, Chris! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@invisibleman8624]

Great build just finished It need props now.😅

[@captaindronieversefpv]

Hi Chris, i really loved to have it .But it scary me enough to Tune it use 6S or 8S on it .. seems too much powerful . wonder if you have video for tuning this quad .

[@MikeMillerDrones]

Chris has a preset in Betaflight, a few clicks and done. It was easy.

[@MikeMillerDrones]

RANT! So, I had a minor hard landing and broke 2 fins off the bottom shell. Since we don't get the STL's when we buy the drone, and we can't even buy them, I bought a new bottom shell from Brain 3D for $24.50. Something I could have printed for less than a dollar or two. After waiting a week to get it, I found out it doesn't come with the little cross piece in the bottom to hold the battery. How many frames cost over $124? And they can't include the STL files? Or even at the very least, sell them to us? This drone is actually very tricky to land. Plan on breaking a few parts and having to wait a week each time. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this is unfair? Update, Brian at Brain 3D contacted me and got me the part. He was really super nice about it and got over night. I'm really impressed with that.

[@Gurbull]

cant find which props i need? there is no 5.25

[@MayanHawk]

Chris, are there any specific ESC (AM32) settings we should be applying for the high speed build? Right now I have the settings you recommended in the AM32 tuning video.

[@MLeditsofficial]

Can I upgrade my battery shell and if I can then tell me how

[@JohnIn2SonAZ]

I hope you offer this as a kit from iFlight. Looks good Chris.

[@sully8320]

The velox motor screws are not long enough in the arm. I used a m3x12 which fitted perfectly

[@stewartmackenzieindaba]

Thanks Chris, this is super useful.

[@СтепанСмирнов-ч3й]

Is it joke?

[@stewartmackenzieindaba]

@@СтепанСмирнов-ч3й was that necessary? Chris has done some very useful and effective developments in the space of drones. I've been in contact with him privately and he's been super helpful. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a positive comment for a video he's taken time out of his day for to educate people to build this specific drone. Now grow up.

[@MikeMillerDrones]

This is going to be a fun build Chris. I ordered the whole frame kit already. I can't find a link for the recommended parts? Also, can I get the stl files so when I break something I can print them myself? The link takes to a site that charges an additional $60, but I already paid for it with the frame.

[@jlarson42]

That actually looks pretty easy to build. Full speed runs, 90° up tilt. 🙃. That'll make for some interesting landings. 😎

[@MachineCreature]

This thing needs a gimbal mod.

[@MikeMillerDrones]

I use angle mode and take my goggles off and land it LOS. You can not see the ground at all in a hover.

[@worldnetsource]

What happens in the local SoCal Desert, stays in the Desert. 200mph plus soon!

[@Bucket183]

Hey Chris, I love the devleopment you are doing!!! Keep it up and keep us inform of what you are up to. I have been playing in the FPV Gopro filming space for a waiting including filming RC planes and (regulator approved) manned aircraft. Im using a standard 7" quad with a Gopro and I'll seemingly blocked by a 140-150km/hr barrier. Keep in mind I want to do this speed for 5mins at a time with a gopro. What do you think is the biggest problem with this conventional drone? Is is drag (in particular the gopro)? Is it prop size and motor kv? The AOS HS5 would be great for straight line speed. However, would only allow for trailing shots of the subject aircraft. Interested in your thoughts. Keep it up mate, very inspiring!!!

[@MikeMillerDrones]

I got the right props today...198MPH😲 with no wind. Imagine if I had a little tail wind

[@sully8320]

What motors and stack do you have ?

[@MikeMillerDrones]

@@sully8320 I am using the motors Chris recommended, the Velox V2808 1950kv and the stack is the Speedybee F7 V3 50A.

[@sully8320]

@@MikeMillerDrones what do you make of the speedy bee stack ?

[@MikeMillerDrones]

@@sully8320 I love it. I have it in 5 of my drones and it has been super reliable. Also, it has all the plug in ports, so it works good for this build.

[@sully8320]

@MikeMillerDrones I'm looking at one now, how long ago did you get yours and is it actually blehli32 on it ?

[@prarthnaroles2253]

Wait, why do they sell it without the prints if they don’t include files for us to print ourselves?

[@sully8320]

What motors and esc did you go with ?

[@ChrisQuadFPV]

Looks like the IFlight ESC is a must.

[@worldnetsource]

@@ChrisQuadFPV I was able to use a AM32 60A ESC no problem.

[@MikeMillerDrones]

I've been using the Speedybee F7 V3 50A, so far no problems. Knock on wood. (why do I feel like I just said the words "last pack"?)

​@@MikeMillerDronesI have 3 SpeedyBee stack's ❤️ but this is a special build

[@fastdust3410]

Anyone know what would be approximate cost to build whole drone, starting with 124$ version?

[@sully8320]

Basically the same as any 5 in

[@cedriclempereur1892]

waiting patiently for mine to arrive - what is the ESC you are using? It is quite different to the usual 6-on-each side layout - looks like a giant whoop ESC :)

[@ChrisQuadFPV]

Looks like a 30 by 30 stack to me

[@cedriclempereur1892]

@@ChrisQuadFPV - it is a 30 x 30 stack but not seen this layout before on a full size ESC (pads on each corners)

[@ChrisQuadFPV]

​@@cedriclempereur1892 Its the iflight esc that has solder pads on the corners.

[@SuperSixTwo]

A gimbal, such as the dji fpv, would sure be nice. Sure is a nice design but i dont thinknits for me. Ill fly the uls7 and benhappy with 99 mph.

[@markuskoarmani1364]

Thank you for speed law warning. I think you were referring to US as rest of the world is pretty free and poses common sense. No law required.

[@JDsRCModelWorld-up7ws]

This is going to cause some issues! Nope!

[@vrj0]

IMO completely unnecessary, if more people fly this it will only mean more regulation
