BEST TINY WHOOP UPGRADE!

[@Seaker24]

Always a pleasure to watch! It's more than FPV. Or maybe it is, Friends Positive Ventures. The landing pad gift was awesome. When someone takes the time to so something like that it's special.

[@LeDribFPV]

Love your take on the acronym ☺️ hope you had a great weekend

[@TheKobool]

That apartment tho, looks super nice. and its like its made for tiny whoop flying

[@RandomHaney]

Love tinywhoops. It's a different kind of fun to fly around a building and I love it. But no matter what as long as it;s your fpv flying I will always love the video.

[@schumata3356]

Nice loft. The exposed brick is killer and the ducts make nice "gates" in a way.

[@LeDribFPV]

perfect micro drone spot :)

[@Aspire7]

You put quite a bit of thought into your videos, and it shows. This is why I press the like button.

[@LeDribFPV]

Thank you so much :)

[@DarrelMartinez]

Very good. I enjoyed the format & the simplicity of the video today. Thanks topped my night off well.

[@LeDribFPV]

Thanks man. I'm always nervous to experiment with different formats so I really appreciate the feedback. I think the next couple are going to be different again as well :)

[@mattd390]

I am in Flint, MI and lost power for a few days too. Sucked lol! Hope yours is back on.

[@FarmerFpv]

This video was super chill, loved it. I did the power whoop mod and 19000kv motors it's crazy fun to fly now. And with that dx6 6.2 antenna mod my Lil whoop can go for ever down the street now lol.

[@LeDribFPV]

Long range whoop mission! haha

[@DONTBLINK]

Awesome, its very cute to send you both those landing pads.

[@haikufpv9659]

Emily's loft is killer! A place like that here in Baltimore would be well over $3k per month to rent, or close to $400k to buy, no doubt about it

[@angrybeefpv5774]

You might want to try the gold motors from newbee now that you have the larger connector. I don't have the larger connector yet, so I didn't see the improvements because my tiny Whoop is probably power starved...

[@TheRealtorZach]

I hope someone can answer this but I did a motor mod on my eachine e010 and when I try to fly it it started spining in no particular direction. Is this because of the flight controller of the eachine or is there something I can do to fix this?

[@darthwoopv573]

Wow that's a perfect place to whoop:) I just got those same upgrades for two of my five tiny whoops. that wind was so crazy here in Michigan. sorry you lost power man.

[@vertigo5828]

The loft looks like a perfect place for whoopin'! Sorry your power's still out, man. DTE said ours would be down for days, but we got it back in 24 hours or so. Hopefully it's your turn next!

[@LeDribFPV]

finally got power back Saturday night. Crazy stuff! Some other people I know still haven't gotten it back!

[@flouschen4k449]

Love your Tiny Whoop videos!!!👍👍👍

[@LeDribFPV]

:D I'm glad! Always want to include whoop action when I can :)

[@dtbjason]

was just messin with my whoop when this uploaded :)

[@qavtechnology7396]

Hi can you do a full video of a quadcopter build please great videos

[@LeDribFPV]

really wanting to do that in the near future :)

[@DavidOwensuk]

Drew - Great video - sorry to hear about your power issues, hopefully 'they' will get them sorted out quickly for you... I love the #NewBeeDrone FC, did the same upgrade on the power connector with great results, however I used NBD gold motors and Nitro Nectar power. The special sauce motors in red look really cool! I'll have to make another Tiny Whoop with those. Have a great weekend - thanks for sharing! best regards David

[@LeDribFPV]

Thanks David! Hope your weekend was great :) And yeah the red is sexy. I've heard those golds really rock though so kinda want to try those soon hah

[@DavidOwensuk]

Le Drib - great weekend thank you! Whooping in the back garden! And 3D printing. I hope you have your power back on?

[@WingFPV]

Love the loft Em.

[@justinlewis1609]

Yo I love the open duct work in her house, I've always wanted to do that in my place but I don't think my landlord would be super pumped about it.

[@Slothbeargamming]

Drew I think that whenever you work on stuff it needs to be called "Cooking With Drew!"

[@LeDribFPV]

hahah we're making something spicy today!

[@tooloney]

I've been thinking of doing this mod too, the only thing keeping me back is the need to replace all of my batteries. It looks like it may be worth it though.

[@LeDribFPV]

same thing made me hesitate.... but do it. After trying it, its sooo worth it lol

[@DannoKrueger420]

Is there away to mod the inductrix BL like this?? it gets even worse flight times.

[@L1L1TH1UM]

feel the power!!! when you get a chance try an HV battery it's a bit more punch.

[@LeDribFPV]

They actually are HV batteries, the charger I brought over to Emily's unfortunately just doesn't have HV setting. Looking forward to actually charging them up to full potential later this week

[@lithiumfpv9254]

hey Le Drib, I Have seen you doing a lot of 3D printing lately. Can you try printing propellers for your mini quads?

[@LeDribFPV]

That would be an interesting experiment! I think they would explode because they are layers of plastic instead of congruous plastic. I guess I'll have to try lol

[@AfterFPV]

Is it possible to modify my old 1S batteries to add the powerwhoop? I know it'd be a bit sketchy, but I've got a ton of these things, I'd hate to have to buy all new batteries.

[@LeDribFPV]

I'm not sure, maybe ask in the TinyWhoop FB group

[@KL3PT0M4N1AC]

Soon excel should have an "as seen on drew" section for us to shop from lol. Gonna have to stop by and bug Jeff for some upgrade parts lol. Also I need to check out that hell whooper he's got

[@LeDribFPV]

hahah thats funny! Yeah have him fly the hell whooper for ya, its nuts!

[@yourewrong154]

You're a true inspiration man! Love the videos! Keep them up man :)

[@animal9254]

are you flying acro mode?

[@RollnHeavyKevy]

Might try putting the motors in so they spin in a reverse rotation, then flip the motor direction switch in beta flight. Then enjoy.

[@fastfreddy2870]

I have that same Venom charger you plugged in at Em's place. Do you think your going to replace your Whoops with a brushless Micro quad or keep Whooping it up?

[@LeDribFPV]

Definitely keep whooping it up The brushless micro's are fun, but they are different. I think I'll just have to have both ;)

[@fastfreddy2870]

Le Drib cool thanks! How often do you replace your brushed motors?

[@justinlewis1609]

Whaaat?! It was really windy last week? Kidding, yeah I'm in good ol' NY and our neighborhood got hammered. $1000 in Damages to my roof, and one of my neighbor's house was impaled by like a 6ft by 6ft piece wooden fence that was blown into the siding. Shit crazy round 'hurr

[@LeDribFPV]

daaang sorry to hear about the damage! I didn't have too many problems other than branches all over my yard lol

[@jfg22557]

How awesome is the JST-PH 2.0 connector right? Best tiny whoop mod IMO. Maybe give some 19,000kv motors a try next. Plenty of power to pull out of split S's and dives, takes the indoor flying experience to the next level for sure👍🏼 Have you tuned your BeeBrain? That also made a huge difference for me. Up those P's a LOT.

[@LeDribFPV]

I think I need to retune now that I have the better connector

[@AdrianDev90]

You flying acro, horizon or 6g in the vids?????

[@TorchFpv]

Sweet place!!

[@yourfathersmellsoffarts3624]

That flying was amazing😂 U DA BEST

[@xavierayayaell546]

Positive vibes. Nice watch.

[@LeDribFPV]

:) thank you

[@PurelifeSimplelife]

Nice flying.... New to the channel. Enjoying it.

[@LeDribFPV]

:D thanks for joining

[@matchewbacca]

hey drew you ain't got no power issue now your Power Whoopin ☺ are you running stock betaflight settings also do you run your motors in? if so what's your preffered method ps keep up the wicked vids 👍

[@LeDribFPV]

uhh I usually forget to break in motors haha. Its a good idea to do so with brushed motors and I do when I remember. But when i finish a whoop build I'm usually to excited and just start ripping lol To do it, I usually just raise throttle until the motors are just spinning with props on and let it run for like 5 mins

[@matchewbacca]

thanks for reply well we had a break in the weather today in England and I managed to make the transition from horizon to acro an I'm so pleased with myself lol it's so much better I can't believe il never go back now to apply it to the whoop thanks drew

[@LeDribFPV]

awesome! so glad you had a good experience with the transition. It can be tricky I hope you also have good luck going acro on the whoop. Its little different since you're usually flying in small areas. Crank up the expo

[@matchewbacca]

I will do thanks for the tip I'm just waiting for my frame now my beebrain an 19000kv motors come today 😁 also some of them rakon 3 bladed props to try aswell hopefully this summer il be able to transition the little skills I have to the bigger brushless quads iv built

[@HellaCopter]

Like smashed dude for sure tiny whoop hacks are what we need out here lol for the small guys😂😂😂😂

[@ChyaBra]

You fly this thing pretty well! TInyWhoop.com has 255 mah HV batteries.

[@flymoon24]

Hi,are you using a frsky receiver- tx setup?

[@LeDribFPV]

nope, Spektrum

[@anzej2101]

My ocd is going mad why didnt you center the camera on the whoop WHY

[@dead_p1xl964]

You should use literally any frame except the original Blade one. It's way too brittle and thin, and it will break after just a few taps on the ground. I got the black Eachine E010 frame and mounted everything in there, and while a tiny bit heavier it is SO much stronger. It was $8 well spent on Amazon - haven't broken the frame since - and it came with a couple sets of props for free. I really want to get a couple of the Rakonheli aluminum and CF frames but I can barely find any in stock and I keep hearing mixed reviews.

[@AAronFpv]

DEAD_P1XL keep the original frame get a brace makes it almost indestructible plus everything fits right and it's lighter

[@dead_p1xl964]

The brace made it flex less but it didn't stop it from breaking. The little plastic spars that go between the prop surrounds and the motor holders break every single time for me. Anytime you do a trick and it doesn't have the power to recover in time, it taps the ground pretty hard. It breaks after 4-5 of those for me. No problems at all with the replacement, and it was only $8 including a bunch of props. They reinforce them at those points when you get one from TinyWhoop.com but the stock Inductrix frames are not great.

[@LeDribFPV]

been thinking about trying the E010 frame. Just bothers me that the batteries dont fit well without modification. I use a brace like bronco said and that helps a lot, but the spars do break. I need to get the glue TW uses and try reinforcing

[@dead_p1xl964]

Definitely. I tried using CA glue after the spars had broken and whatever material they used for the frame it doesn't like to stick well. I think they have their specific reinforcing epoxy stuff on the TW shop as well. The frame is a bit hard to fit normal 1S tiny whoop sized batteries correctly, but I can still just slide them in at an angle like this i.imgur.com/mcOD13F.jpg and they seem to work just fine. The angle doesn't seem to bother them, and there's just enough tension they don't slide out or bend or anything bad. I've been meaning to upgrade the power lead to a larger plug and wire so I can potentially use a 500mAh or so, which fits in the E010 battery slot perfectly (even if it sticks out a bit on the ends). It's just 2 minutes with a blade to cut out the opposite end of the battery slot and fit longer/deeper batteries if that's what you're after!

[@DeanChapmanFPV]

So cool we just got a whoop

[@testuav1221]

Hi Le Drib.very good house.what your job?!

[@SpicyToys]

I lost internet for like a day from the wind, glad I didn't loose any power though!

[@lithiumfpv9254]

I have a bunch of 3S batteries but none 4S. can you make a quad that runs off of a 3S battery?

[@LeDribFPV]

Absolutely. Most all the 4S components will run fine on 3S. I started out using 3S, many people did. Its more common now to go straight to 4S but if you've already got some 3S its a great way to learn on a lighter and less powerful machine

[@lithiumfpv9254]

true, thanks

[@lithiumfpv9254]

So your saying upgrade to 4S when I get better at flying?

[@markofcaine]

lol when special sauce motors look like rebranded racestars

[@dominikkammer2478]

How many cycles do the 75c Tattu Lipos life ob you?

[@avianfpv8886]

I have 6 Tattu 75c 1300mah 4s batteries. So far two have died. I'm not super impressed with the reliability, but they work great while they last. Mine probably got ~50 cycles. The other 4 work fine though.

[@dominikkammer2478]

Avian FPV What Motors and Props are you using?

[@avianfpv8886]

Emax 2205 2600kv 4" triblade 45 degree props

[@LeDribFPV]

I've never actually counted cycles lol And I usually destroy a battery from impact or over discharging before I've gotten so many cycles that they stop working :/

[@stevenphillips3774]

Great video man!

[@LeDribFPV]

Thanks Steven :)

[@kasanei401]

Anyone know where I can get a usb adapter for the Beebrain or Acrowhoop flight controllers? It's the one thing I can't find. XD

[@william_2233]

Most people have one lying around it is a usb to micro usb cable

[@kasanei401]

Thanks, William. I had a feeling it was a micro usb, and I found about three in my house.

[@imhim8186]

still no power wow! looking forward to tmrws live stream!

[@BAJAFLATOUT]

metal bottle lids my stick the motors to them?

[@LeDribFPV]

nah hasn't been a problem, still takes off fine :)

[@WillGamroth]

hey you need to 3D print a tiny whoop frame so happy for you so close to 8,000 do have any special plans for when you 10,000

[@LeDribFPV]

A 3D printed whoop frame would be sweet, I'll try and do that soon

[@RAD-RC]

eachine has been using that connector in the 010 before it was cool lol

[@LeDribFPV]

haha

[@MiamiJato]

Does TATTU make these batteries with this larger connector. Don't have faith in these knockoff batteries, thanks again.......

[@maffettastic]

awesome apartment do fly in !! Dope video

[@LeDribFPV]

its like heaven for whooping haha

[@Letterjay]

DOPE loft

[@cristianramos7605]

nice drew

[@tekoppentekoppen761]

Nice apartment!

[@yourfathersmellsoffarts3624]

Thank you so much I was trying the send you cool crafts!! (When I think if them)

[@LeDribFPV]

thank you so much for sending! Was really awesome and fun for me and Emily :)

[@yourfathersmellsoffarts3624]

Le Drib I'm glad

[@yourfathersmellsoffarts3624]

😀

[@yourfathersmellsoffarts3624]

Le Drib have you ever think about getting the rakon Heli mod for your tiny whoop? That's what I have and it works great 👍

[@yourfathersmellsoffarts3624]

Sorry, thought 🙃

[@samkulpa997]

I just finished a quad that i built out of spare parts, it is a 280mm frame and has 2204(i know, super small, but it works) motors and a naze 32. When i fly it it wobbles profusely from side to side. What sort of tune should i give it?

[@95Micro]

less i probably. anyway try lower tuning

[@samkulpa997]

thanks

[@LeDribFPV]

Nothing wrong with good ol' 2204. That used to be the most common size for race quads hah Flash your naze with Betaflight. I think you'll find good performance even on stock PID values.

[@jordanbass3210]

seems like you need a brushless micro in your life so you can do normal acro flying inside and they cost the same ammount about $100

[@fpvfreak7926]

Dribb I didn't know you were in detroit? Come take a trip over that border n lets rip!!

[@LeDribFPV]

Some trips to Canada will definitely happen when it gets warmer :)

[@fpvfreak7926]

Sick! make sure you hit me up and we'll shred you likely have to pass threw here to get to where you wanna go your about 5 hrs from me, I'd come visit but I gotta renew my passport haven't been to murica in about 5 years

You made me year!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[@brandonfpv]

4:42 power-whoop lol

[@brandonfpv]

(like a power loop)

[@LeDribFPV]

haha yesss Still never pulled a clean "power whoop" without crashing

[@brandonfpv]

Le Drib Do you recommend buying more than a set of props for the whoop? I bought a frame that came with one set and I'm wondering if I need more than that.

[@28russ]

What's with all the ducting ? Does Emily have a "secret garden". haha

[@CatmanUnlimited]

I wish I lived in Detroit so we could be friends
