I do but sometimes I like to keep the motor wire long.

[@askar_arystanbayev]

Drop a link for goggles too, please

[@bubba1341]

What propellers do u use? I just finished building it and don’t know what propellers to use since I didn’t get any with the emax

[@bubba1341]

Hey man sorry for all the questions but my antenna doesn’t fit the rush VTX despite using the exact same antennas

[@ActiveUser1]

@@bubba1341 You figure it out?

[@cosmicdrop8024]

Hey man just wanted to say thank you for all your beginner content! It has been a BIG help for me in understanding everything!

[@iicyx2629]

Hi mate, Could you please link the 3D files for the RushFPV Tiny Tank and the Rush Antenna? It's not listed in your description.

[@fpvjitsu8861]

i always make sure im using a no clean flux for better heat transfer when soldering think it might help with this esc especially. nice build though.

[@robocuip9388]

KZbin is so useful in this century , we learn and create a lot of things .

[@caden8110]

I have built a computer before and this looks way more intimidating.

[@mikesoro5052]

Caden ay bro I’m gonna try it. I say go for it. If you mess up you can always return them

[@steezy1692]

same here. Built my own PC

[@aadharshj10]

Same...pc seemd easy to this

[@yessirskiii2615]

I’ve watched a lot of build videos you made but this one is by far the most helpful

[@amduck4883]

YESSIRSKIII some people just build it and don’t show you anything else like you called the video a beginners guide I still need to be able to connect goggles and the controller

[@dawidkupiec4970]

Just a quick question, what would be the overall weight of the drone?. Thanks

[@guyphilemon8188]

there is no stack on the websites provided that contains both the F60 ESC and the F405, could you suggest an alternative or help me find it?

[@novisfpv]

Best drone build ever... Novice here from Kenya.. tryna build my first quad.. this is very helpful!

[@jameslong4252]

Great video helping people get into the hobby. I always like watching these kind of videos.

[@tastenheber]

I would recommend a bigger soldering tip for this. Like a 3,2 mm chisel type. Even for the small pads I use a bigger tip. Even with enough power and sufficient temperatures, soldering can become a pain if there‘s not enough heat transfer.

[@EpiclyReckless]

I just subscribed a couple minutes ago and it just so happens this is exactly what I was looking for

[@guyphilemon8188]

You said to buy the F405 and the F60 in a stack, could you please link that.

[@mswinden]

I'm new to soldering. How do you keep the liquid (hot) solder from running over multiple pads/holes? I don't see anything preventing it from running all over multiple connection points? Such as at 13:01?

[@jebusisere]

Hey Man Will you Be Creating one of these for 2021?

[@sridharvasanth]

building a drone cost 40000rs in india which is 604.21 USD this man is giving us for FREE teaching , thank you and hope you achive more Subs in Upcoming years and ill share this with my friends as well

[@moumonmusic]

Hey can i use mamba x50 instead of this x60??

[@thundaa9597]

What's the advantage to this vs Nazgul5/Cidora? Nagul is $100 cheaper and probably the best sub-$200 drone out there right now, it flies like a dream, and the Cidora is around the same price and also better. The Nazgul is such a steal you'd actually lose money if you bought all the components and put it together yourself.

[@kevinh5136]

Hi awesome video! I am just getting started with building drones and I wanted to know what all-in-one flight controller you would recommend if I needed to use the Ardupilot firmware? Thanks for your help!

[@bubba1341]

Hey man, I just want to ask if you could link all the 3D printed stuff

[@E5c4p3]

Yes, please !

[@amduck4883]

he did

[@alessioeritale]

would you pick these motors over the racestar br2207s?

[@b.h1362]

What batery did you use

[@crckdns]

That's a great build! gave me some ideas :) but.. you aren't using flux are you? some of the soldering scenes with that huuuge amount of solder and that long heating.. that hurts my eyes XD ..or your soldering iron isn't hot enough.. hmm at what °C degree is your iron?

[@madnlooney]

do you have the printed parts links? Also the Stack on BG is showing 2 boards not the separate ones? Not sure what would be best to order for that one?

[@russwishtart]

Why not put some heat shrink on the leads for the cap?

[@darksoul2616]

Bro, you really delivered a nice details bro, I had never got any experience like this.

[@surfjat15]

what batteries do you recommend with this build !!!

[@lokkiez]

Could you post a video of how to install autopilot on a racing drone?

[@antichrist5132]

Amazing .. great job

[@veredaleware145]

A tiny bit of flux on the board will help with flow and adhering even though your using i'd assume rosin core solder

[@PerchEagle]

I thought the VTX and the camera are separate from the FC. My understanding is that the VTX should process the camera data and send it through the video antenna. So to connect the data wires to the FC ?

[@zionramdinthara8403]

Do we need to add a separate GPS equipment or it is inbuild on the board to activate the GPS functionalities?

[@tatethompson2648]

What would you do to be able to lift more? Can you use higher powered motors and still use the same design

[@supernova-4420]

is it possible to control a custom-built drone with a Mamba stack ECF with something like a phone or a laptop? Not necessarily as a replacement but as a temporary control device.

[@TheDyrehauge]

wouldnt it be a good idea to use threadlocker on the bolts for video transmitter? :)

[@lewisalansparkywhitton5074]

Hey man, love the video. Have you ever had issues with the reciever not lighting up? I had the reciever working and flying. Got a new flight controller and now the reciever wont power up. My battery voltage is good(tried multiple batteries), connections all good. Any help would be appreciated tried lower gauge wires. Disconnecting the video transmitter. Nothing seems to do it

[@SvetoslavKostadinov]

What kind of battery pack are you using for this set up? How many V, mAh, dimensions?

[@Ivar1231]

Power cable leads are a pain in the ass to solder on..... What about the Black and White leads exiting the camera, you cut them out?

[@greekfpv2885]

Good job man!Btw Which Black tape do you use?

[@TomTubeFrancia]

Try putting the exposed wire through the hole. Bend the wire in direction desired then remove the iron. The solder will cool fine on the other side.

[@michaelrusso2643]

You didn’t specify on what wires to solder onto the XM+ receiver. Can you take any 5V, G, and signal wire and use them in this fashion?

[@JonasJa]

Which budget props do you recommend and do i need to buy the nuts seperate to secure the props?

[@mokenOS]

To me it seems that a lot of the Solder points on the flight controller touch each other. Does this not matter or is he just as precice like Mr Steele?

[@the_DOS]

You can cause a short and a battery fire (lipo). He used too much solder.

[@OscarKr13]

just a quick question, is it necessary to have the ESC and flight controller from the same brand/company?

[@Geopolitik_1991]

Hi how can we see the video from the drone, please explain this part, how can we configure that

[@dustinplee5067]

I have a question so I was looking at The flight board and the ESC is it what the ESC can take if it says 6S is that what it can take not the flightboard or if it’s good distribution board it takes 6s I know like on the RC vehicles the ESC can take 6S

[@janebachman6071]

Omg! So excited about this! What should I use for a high resolution camera?

[@guyphilemon8188]

does the receiver come with those extra 3 wires, or do i have to get those sepertatley?

[@henryksarat]

i need to know this too

[@guyphilemon8188]

@@henryksarat don't watch this guys guide, I would suggest watching one of Joshua Bardwells videos, he explains everything WAY better. This Video is not a beginners tutorial.

[@lossbin503]

Hey, great vid, clean build, subscribed instantly. I got a little question, if i don't need DJI capability, can i replace F405DJI with F722, or regular F405mk2 will fit better? And can you recommend some little more premium motors, that can handle 5S or something?

[@JonasJa]

do oyu figured it our what to take when you dont wont dji?

[@fpvraver]

Why do you prefer the the Xm plus receiver? Have you had problems with the RXsr?

[@rueda82nd]

Super clean build, great instructional video. You make it easy to see and understand where to wire everything. I always use your videos to reference on my builds thanks.

[@TheDyrehauge]

when you are using the soldering iron, it seems like the solder runs and hits both ground and the 5v connetion, wont this cause a problem? from my knowledge connetion should be seperated?? hope youll answer

[@Unknown_42392]

Hey , the iFlight sl5 frames are out of stock in many shops , can I use different frame for this fpv build

[@rifsnif3979]

is this setup going to be better than a iFlight Cidora?

[@henryksarat]

Which Rush Antenna is it? The link goes to 5 different antennas with different connectors and they also have different modes such LHCP and RHCP. Please help me out in letting me know which one it is here

[@TheCarlost23]

how can i use it with the DJI system ? please let me know

[@vardadio]

Sorry man for the stupid question....which propeller do you suggest ? I'm new to fpv and watching some others videos It looks like propellers are not all the same and can make a huge difference ...amy suggestion ?

[@bswordsman4320]

Are there any issues if solders touch or are super close to each other?

[@GapingSquid]

i am super new to the fpv world and i looked up some basic components. how come there is no power distribution board. Are they in built in the esc or fc or is there no need for one anymore?

[@emilsobo]

Hey, just to let you know the Diatone F60 ESC and the motors are out of stock and the F405 link doesn't work, would you be able to provide some alternatives?

[@junjett6358]

Go for the iFlight Succe-X E stack

Awesome vid but what funny I just got done building the last sl5 build and when r u going to release the flight footage

[@sebastianlehene5284]

Hi Drone Mesh, Very good content man, but I do have a quick question: Can I use MAMBA F405 DJI Betaflight Flight Controller F50 50A 3-6S DSHOT600 FPV Racing Brushless instead of Diatone F60 ESC and Diatone F405 DJI with this build? What will be a disadvantage by using that? Thanks, Seb

[@bamboofpv8959]

currently also building the iflight cidora, you always twist your motor cables? personally dont like the look

[@henryksarat]

Where do I buy the cables that you have attached to your receiver? What are they called so I can look them up.

[@philippkind2335]

would you recommend the iFlight SL5 over the GEPRC Mark 4?

[@longb1913]

can solders on two pads touch each other? because from the video it looks dangerously close. I'm amateur dont mind the noob question

[@michaelrusso2643]

In the video you said to get the Flight and Speed controller together as a stack and the link shows the F405 paired with the F50 Pro ESC. Is this a compatible alternative or is the F60 Pro necessary? Great vid bro!

[@droneswithdummies9292]

What’s up man? Great video! I’m new to the community and was curious what parts can I leave out if I plan on running the DJI set-up? Can you post an updated list for those who want to go digital? Thank you!!

[@Gw0wvl]

A bigger soldering iron tip would allow a better heat transfer for the larger pads .

[@Cclahhainnxhhs]

I built exactly to spec but there was no mention of the tiny tank adapter for the lollipop antenna, there was no mention of the transmitter batteries, doesn’t touch on goggles or their binding process, I can’t bind to my receiver, I can’t bind to goggles, I have to search to find certain files on sketch websites for beta flight to program it. I’d love some help I’m like $400 in with no hope.

[@wrx6622]

Can I use the CADDX TARSIER 4K 30FPS ? Sorry I’m a beginner .

[@johnny3404]

You didn't mention anything about which wires from the motor connect to where on the ESC.... or does it not matter?

hey! what props should I use?

[@craigmccartney7234]

is this one a good beginner drone? you previously recommended to me the $160 build this one is newer and yeah just wondering

[@cnbsdad]

The Racer Nano is not available through your listed link. Do you have an Amazon link so you can get credit?

[@emmettroberts3639]

my FrSky receiver didn't come with wires to connect to flight controller. However there is another connector ribbon that came with the flight controller and is not used in this video? can i cut the connectors off the ends and use those wires for my reciever?

[@amduck4883]

is there a way i can purchase one of those 3d printed pats that you put on the back of the drone to hold the antenna anywhere

[@morgansavill8355]

How heavy is the drone with the GoPro attached?

[@TomasLomba]

The f405 fight controller says its rated for a 6s battery input, not 4s. Can I plug a 4s anyways? It would have less voltage.

[@sub2chomoso739]

what flight time do you get with this with what battery

[@robertramirez1766]

Is it a problem getting sodder on the other terminals from a different one?

[@eZFlow]

With regards to the cap, I always heat shrink them up so if they do snap off it's less likely to go up in magic smoke. Great video as always !!!

[@dsuess]

What's the estimated total cost at the time of the build? I'm curious because you do one every year & I'd like to know how the prices change over time as well. I.E. Is it time for me to upgrade, etc.

[@Trial_Gamer45]

I doubt I’ll get a response but the black tubing where do I get it what is it called I can’t find it anywhere
