It's very nice that you are spending some time teaching us Beta flight setups..

[@Retset]

I recently built my first 5" - 6S with Xing 2208 1700kv motors. It flies beautifully but I was very surprised to get large voltage sag. It has Dalprop T5046C and I plan to reduce pitch but have an 80% throttle scale until I buy them! Still, like you say, I love the way it flies compared to my lighter R349 GT ... just didn't expect the same sag levels, especially with R-Lines. Flipside is it didn't cost any more to make than a 4s ...

[@archer4922]

I’ve got those same motors on a freestyle build. I’ve been running the hq 5.1x4.1x3 props and I don’t get much sag at all. I think it’s the props your using. The cyclone 5046 is a heavy and pitchy prop and on a large motor like the xing 2208 it’ll push the amps up there. Try a lower pitch prop and you should see a big difference. 👍

[@Retset]

@@archer4922 I suspected as much. Thank you. I'll search out the props you are using - I've never had HQ props but only hear good stuff about them.

[@archer4922]

RetsetVX I love HQ’s on a freestyle rig and even some of their props on race rigs. Tho I’ve been experimenting more and more with different props I still wind up using HQ lol.

[@34000regio]

Thanks you so much for the protocole, i'm french and in my language nothing ! grace about you my drone wake up more !

[@RCOverKill]

my 6s weighs about 610, I think all the extra weight is causing voltage sag. I get over 4 .5 minutes flying your style with very little sag at the very end, Thanks Andy!

[@Autocharge1]

Been run down after a hard week at work and technical work with my lights on weekend, just had a chance to catch up on vids. For Acro you cant go wrong with these small Quads.

[@archer4922]

Great little review. I’ve been loving my 6s buzz since the day they came out. Love running HQ 6x3.5x3 props on it. On the Avan flow props I always get a weird oscillation at high throttle, but the gemfan 51466 and hq 5146 run great on it as well, so smooth. 👍👍

[@FREE_AT_LAST_SDK]

Hi there just wondering if u can help got a emax buzz followed your setup worked great just I get some code in the cli come up red not sure how to fix this or what to do sorry for the noob question

[@kamikazeoo1484]

Having trouble binding to the buzz. Yet there are no video's on this. Need help

[@SkylineUSA09]

The hard wired AUX4 VTX kill messed me up for so long. Thought I had VTX issues and actually bought a spare VTX. It's also unfortunate that Emax has said it cannot be change to a different channel. Oh well.

[@KetilDuna]

Not into multirotor (yet), but this is a very nice review. Thank you.

[@bryanwibberley1112]

I have the Emax Buzz BNF 1700kv and I’ve spent hours trying to bind this to my x-lite s receiver. Any tips on getting the quad into binding mode?

[@plywood76]

I flashed the stock RX and now have RSSI on AUX 12 for channel 16. Would this board do soft serial for smart port if you wanted to go XSR?

[@archer4922]

I still haven’t updated my firmware lol. I really need to one of these days. My battery voltage on the osd is way off on mine and I can’t adjust it till I update the fw but I’ve learned where to land, when my osd says 3.9 my pack is actually at 3.7. I think I was just lucky to have my radio set up right. My switches worked with the stock settings and I just never updated the fw lol.

[@AndyRCchannel]

No need to change if u are happy but the tune is better I found

[@archer4922]

AndyRC I’m going to mess with it this week sometime but ima save the current settings and see if there’s a difference. The pids or something may be a tad different not sure. All I know is this thing flys really smooth with hq 6x3.5x3 props. I know you flew with the Avan flow props, did you notice any oscillation at high throttle once you upgraded the fw? Mine does pretty bad above about 65-70% throttle with the flow props. If yours doesn’t the update may have taken care of it.

[@techvirus9541]

Which is the fastest 1s brushed quadcopter ?

[@DMarko22]

QX90C with the yellow frame. Got some footage of it. It was a great racer back in the time...(last summer)

[@blueRC]

Funny, the maximum arming angle was the reason for my drone being in a tree for 6 days... Could have flown out of it easily... I turned it off now too xD

[@tryhardfpv5351]

Try using a much bigger battery around 3000mha. Just about no voltage sag and super smooth video. Some of my smoothest flights are on a 4000mah 4S 15C lipo on a qav210 red bottom 5 inch.

[@TheMadmacs]

made this look like a decent option for a beginner with a lot of support. ps. that feeling when you decide to go through goalposts from a long way off and realize you'll be doing about 100mph by the time you get there, and you go anyway hehehe

[@raynasca2146]

Andy, You put my flying "skills" (and I use the term loosely) to shame. Nice flying. It may seem mundane to some but it still demonstrates a skill level far above my own. Keep flying and making vids.

[@AndyRCchannel]

As long as you enjoy flying then there is no need to compare skill. People tell me all the time your flying is bad and you should stick to being a reviewer. And to that I say. I'm flying and I'm having fun. Go and fly how you like not how someone else likes I say. Thanks so much for watching means a lot

using the buzz 2400 I updated the omnibus to the latest and still did the cli dump from emax .. think I should go back to 4.0 and cli again .. ? or leave updated

[@AndyRCchannel]

As far as I'm aware the dump is for 4.0 only

@@AndyRCchannel Thank you for the reply ..

[@adyfparish]

I flashed it to 4.4 then did the cli dump and I've not had any problems so far...

[@hafizuddinismail443]

can i run 6s version (1700kv) using 4s lipo?

[@Doggye]

Sure, i had video of this emax buzz 6s on 4s battery on my channel :) it was my second flight on this quad (i forgot to press record button with 6s lipo in my first flight) and like 5th time ever fpv in my life, so sorry for no skills xD

[@adamacromen]

Great review. But if you dont do punch outs at 21v you wont drop to 18v.

[@AndyRCchannel]

Rewatch parts 21:43 cheers

[@adamacromen]

That’s weird. I know my freestyle quads weigh more then that. I dont have those issues. ✌️

[@frasersteen]

6s is better #facts Point is you are getting more power and rpm from the 6s setup so yeah sag is similar to lower kv 4s if you hammer it. TBH the benefit of 6s has evened out now but big high kv motors are now very usable where they didn't use to be. I run 2208-1800kv and get 4+ min flights, people are pushing over 2000kv on 6s now too without killing all their flight time. Can you imagine what a 2208-2700kv or even 3200kv (2150kv 6s) motor would do to a 4s pack? Hope you are well mate.

[@afrog2666]

1S MASTER RACE! xD

[@frasersteen]

@@afrog2666 only on whoops, anyone who thinks otherwise is probably into mugging old ladies!

[@AndyRCchannel]

It is true that the equivalent kv would be 1600

[@frasersteen]

@@AndyRCchannel slightly off topic are you getting that skystars gs325 thing with the mavic motors to review? That looks very interesting as a long range cruiser.

[@Rich-TeaFPV]

Great review Andy 😁👍👍 skimitar 🤣🤣🤣

[@RCOverKill]

I have a question about what you said about prop numbers, I always thought the middle number represented the pitch instead of how far it travels in a second. when I look it up it says it's pitch, but I never thought the number and pitch were right. Is there a coeallation between pitch, and travel per second?

[@AndyRCchannel]

It's how far it travels in one rotation not a second and the pitch determines that but seen as pitch is dynamic on a prop they have to use travel for the number. Cheers

[@bombetdavid]

Wow 😮

[@przemopgx]

Nice 👍

[@droneracer]

It's pronounced sci,....nevermind.

[@stevenfpv2345]

I noticed a huge voltage drop upgrading from BF 3.5.7 to BF 4.0.2, same quad, just different BF firmware.. I checked the calibration and it seems okay for both BF version but in BF4.0.2 voltage drop is really consistent ( 4 and 5 S, geprc mark2)

[@adamdrtina7261]

Hi, so you have a geprc mark2? How is it going? Would you recommend me this quad? I am also thinking about sky lord... (I am a beginner).

[@stevenfpv2345]

@@adamdrtina7261 Hi, yes, in my opinion is a very good quad. Keep in mind that it support 4 and 5s batteries, not 6s. ESCs are BLheli_S, not BLheli32. Motors on banggood are discontinued but you can find em on geprc website

Nice review @Andy. I’ve been doing a little long range with mine and it has been doing well. I’ve got a video of it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKavhJqoi5uoepI

[@jeffstewart4133]

I'm sorry but that thing is useless for a beginner and anyone who is experienced would never put up with the backwards way its setup. IMO if you're buying a "RTF" it should be RTF.
