Goood build, and excellent work with video :)

[@wynnfpv]

Thanks man 😊

[@The2xWhiskey]

This a good assembly guide. Good work. When you're ready for some higher performance, give CiottiFPV's formula for the "Ultimate Freestyle Rig" a shot. The performance of Tiny Whoop 0702 26,000Kv motors with bi-bladed props will blow your mind.

[@wynnfpv]

Thanks! I would totally agree for anyone wanting higher performance go with a higher kv!

[@chrisB_OG]

OH YES that frame choice

[@wynnfpv]

Love there frames!

[@playmatee1]

the camera has 3 pads coresponding and the vtx also ( better to swap the vtx they die to tbs v1.1 nano ) the small cables break after many crashes. also place something between the fc and vtx . no touching. solder motors. use ultra strong clear double sided tape to mount on the bottom and make ur own antenna perfect lengt, it's safe between the fc canopy and battery the antenna cross the vtx and go back to press the battery 90 degree between the ducts on the left or right side

[@wynnfpv]

All great ideas! Thanks for sharing!👊🏼

[@andreisopon4615]

Christ, I was able to build my first analogue 5" quad in 2019 for $100 😂

[@wynnfpv]

Yeah, to bad prices aren’t cheaper on these little whoops…

[@masonreyes1731]

Can you make a video on how to bind the tiny whoop

[@wynnfpv]

Hey, thanks for the comment and watching. I will work on making a follow up binding video.

[@dirtymcstinky1656]

Ultimate is a bit subjective really. I would say this is a good build.

[@wynnfpv]

Maybe I should change the verbiage haha

[@wynnfpv]

I switched the title. I didn’t want it to be misleading.

[@dirtymcstinky1656]

Legend! Thank you for listening and for the great content 👍

[@MinhNhatang-ny7qy]

Can you make a video how to setup this fpv drone pls, i don't know how to setup

[@wynnfpv]

Hey, this video should help you set yours up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKXXl6WBiryAm9Usi=0HSogrf_m_JGQivD

[@iftikharguliyev]

Hello what is the flight time and can i connect to board external elrs module

[@wynnfpv]

Yes it should connect to the elrs module. Depending on how hard you run it but around 2min to 2min 30sec

[@theskedc]

question how do u connect the battery do you need conectors for that?

[@wynnfpv]

This one has the bt2.0 in it.

[@artempeshkov7489]

Why not to buy rtf set for same or less? Same BetaFPV meteor 65 for 105$?

[@wynnfpv]

The only reason to build this one would be choosing different motors than from BetaFPV. I’m getting ready to make an updated one which will be an easy build for $120, sub 18grams.

[@cccagley5276]

What did it weigh? I would have gone with higher kv for an 'ultimate build.'

[@wynnfpv]

Agree, for most beginners I think 18,000 would be a good balanced motor, providing sufficient power and giving good flight times. I’ll have to weigh it and let you know the exact weight.

[@wynnfpv]

Exact weight is 21.67

[@elroytan2851]

Why did you use betafpv parts if you never tested them out before?? Also, I use betafpv and don't have a problem it them but I heard they have a quality issue??? Did you find any quality issues when testing?

[@wynnfpv]

I wanted to try other brands and products to compare them to what I usually fly. I changed the title because I didn’t want to be misleading without testing them long term.

[@wynnfpv]

So far it’s been flying great and I really enjoyed it!

[@JackalFPV]

Why the 18000KV and why not BetaFPV motors? ☝️😉 And why is it ultimate? Regardless good video making and soldering.

[@wynnfpv]

Haha because it’s what I have on hand! I think 18,000kv is a good kv for people starting out because they wouldn’t be pushing it that much.

[@wynnfpv]

Thanks for watching!

[@jpc3874]

how come some people solder the motors and other plug in?

[@wynnfpv]

Saving the weight of the connector. It’s very minimal but does save some…

[@cold-frontin_penguin7902]

how hot do you leave your sauder temp at?

[@wynnfpv]

I actually leave mine at 750 all the time but you don’t want to hold it there very long at that temp.

[@younus_here]

Does it bind to Flysky transmitter???

[@wynnfpv]

This one is ELRS.

[@1979zeesh]

i am using F4 1S 5A AIO Brushless Flight Controller from betafpv with betaflight 4.3.0_BETAFPVF411 fw. left rear motor (motor3) doesnt spin when I do motor testing with 1s lipo connected. BETAFPV 1102 18000kv motors. 1. connected working motor to esc of motor 3, result: motor didnt spin 2. connected not working working motor to working esc, result: motor worked it happened to my 1st board betafpv sent me replacement board and same behavior. am i doing something wrong?

[@wynnfpv]

Interesting, sounds like a defective board. I would swap the motor to double check but I would say defective fc maybe.

[@1979zeesh]

@@wynnfpv motor swapping shows same behavior. This is the replacement baord i got from them. Same esc# showing same behavior

[@wynnfpv]

@@1979zeesh I would reach out to them and let them know because it sounds like you got two bad boards…

[@lt.cloptin4128]

This is happening to me! My right rear motor spins at 2,000 rpm max while all others sit comfortable at 38-40k rpm Did I get a bad board? What did you do? Did the third board stay good?

[@1979zeesh]

@@lt.cloptin4128 i threw all boards and said bbye to betafpv forever

[@kimwanggaming9136]

Sir, can u make that video again.. but more2 detali plz... iam newbe

[@wynnfpv]

Working on one right now you might be interested in. It will be up on Monday 👍🏼

[@Neverdyingpride]

is that cetus 65 or something?

[@wynnfpv]

The Cetus 65 is a RTF setup I think.

[@iuravermeer196]

120.99$

[@Mrhomi01]

Sold out on motors :/

[@wynnfpv]

I’ll check when they are coming available.

[@RookieRay]

HD Zero ?? :S

[@wynnfpv]

I need to do one with HDZERO
