🛩️ Skyhunter - Long Range Drone Step By Step Build Tutorial

[@ResistDemise]

I've never seen such an easy-to-follow, detailed build guide.

[@joslinnick]

Man, this is such a good video. I wish all build videos were this simple, clear, and easy to understand. It's great to see people still opting for Skyhunters in an age where there are so many other FPV platforms available. I have the 1800mm version, and it can carry such a big payload while still maintaining great flight characteristics.

[@pjwarez]

WOW.... A youtube build video that is clear, concise and with full explanations. Not to mention a full parts list! Background music was not overly annoying and you kept the volume of it low (THANKS!). I think a lot of other youtube channels should watch this for how to do things the right way!

[@stuweFPV]

That is probably the best build video i've seen and also the cleanest build plane! outstanding job!

[@LEGITLONDON]

I’ll second that

[@user-otzlixr]

Third that. I’m not even building this plane, and I learned something’s applicable to what I’m building (wing).

[@arendgovaars527]

This is probably the best most meticulous attention to detail build video ive ever seen.

[@gizfpv]

My goal was to be extremely thorough :)

[@k1ortia]

the voice and background music reminds me of an early 80,s quiz show, " Look what you could of won " lol..

[@jasonmakai1576]

I guess I am kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released movies online?

[@k1ortia]

@@jasonmakai1576 Yep, this is definitely the wrong show for you fella

[@maxun1]

No one come closer to his builts, a real professional, super video.

[@germanar1926]

I love your new way of presenting and editing videos

[@robertwalsh5461]

I believe this is the maker & type you recommended to me in my comment/questions to you in your SkyWing video. Thank you again and well done as usual from you! Best, R. C. Christian (somewhere USA)

[@elliotw5918]

I've got an old dgs2000 I haven't flown in years but I really want to turn it into a long range fov and this video is amazing! Thank you so much for this!

[@gizfpv]

You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@azatecas]

i love how detailed this is

[@gizfpv]

I try to make sure literally everything is explained lol

[@teamblacksheep-]

To tail, for all servos bringing one common thicker power and ground will be good idea keeping signal cables separate to fc on single dupont connector. nice build

[@denizkayra]

Instantly subscribed. This is what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch, Giz.

[@fosatech]

Great laptop wallpaper. Subbed.

[@gizfpv]

Haha thanks 😊

[@maciejklasa6783]

@15:11 That wallpaper though! 🤣

[@OrLove13]

Очень подробная инструкция, как всегда приятно смотреть. Спасибо.

[@hayes2jensen]

Anyone else gonna laugh at the laptops wallpaper 🤣🤣🤣

[@djmix7388]

The issue with the current sensor is real at F722-Wing. Just add the capacitor and it should be fine. Great video!

[@bensonfilmworks7595]

Outstanding. Shows a lot of time and talent went into this video. Thank you!

[@dynamofrog]

great video! thanks for going into such detail on the build steps :)

[@aquatecpoolservice4547]

Your videos are simply awesome. Your eye for detail is impressive. Keep making these high quality videos.

[@owlmuso]

Holy crap, this is such an awesome video. Thanks man!! One suggestion, if you want to make some money from this, is to create a Udemy course where you break up each step you outlined in the video into its sub-steps and show, in detail, where you bought your parts, how you soldered the parts together, why the wiring combinations are required etc etc. In other words a detailed step by step. For a luddite like me, who understands conceptually what you are doing, a detailed hand holding course would be real beneficial. I know its lots more work but could bring you some income. Anyway, just a thought, and thanks for generously sharing your knowledge

[@fpvleo2606]

You really deserve more subs and views! :)

[@gkdresden]

I like this little Pitot tube sensor. I once built an linear array of Pitot needle sensors to measure the flow velocity inside a pulse tube of a cryocooler, but they were not fast enough. So I changed to a hot wire anemometer array which worked in the sub-millisecond range. It was made of 5 µm diameter platinum wires with a length of 2 mm operating in constant current mode.

[@kultbotcustomshop3849]

Incredible build video earned my sub ! Please do more like it !

[@M4trix42]

Hats off, that is an awesome step by step guide!!! I was looking for a two-way gimbal solution like yours for a build I'm planning on. Extraordinary!!!

[@shakhawansalih5601]

best video i seen on homemade uav s

[@kerrycorcoran4885]

As always great content. Very educational and thorough and also very entertaining. Well put together.

[@gizfpv]

Cheers man

[@kshaw8494]

Production far better than channels with 10k+ subs..hope to see you grow

[@TheKolian1996]

insane amount of job, you're amazing!

[@gizfpv]

Thankyou! :)

[@HobkinBoi]

I want to get into stuff like this, looks incredibly fun and seems like you get some great views.

[@EnglishTurbines]

Great choice of components and a super neat install...I have just built the smaller black Skyhunter using the Matek F411 WSE....Less complex...Kudos for the printed stuff and all the effort for making this video...Well done...🤔😳😎

[@bfvanish]

best Tutorial ever seen! thankyou my man

[@gizfpv]

You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed 😊

[@gtsstang]

Thank you for a perfect comprehensive tutorial video. 5 Stars

[@dcxo88]

Amazing video! Thank you for taking the time to upload.

[@colmmythen8740]

15:10 lovin the screensaver on the laptop 🤣

[@jonagostini8782]

WoW! Thanks a lot for your dedication.

[@upperechelon3456]

Excellent build very very clean.

[@lennartekdahl8298]

SUPER instructions.......lovely

[@oscarordonez4477]

Definitely got a new sub! Freakin awesome, I’ll have to make a drone like this for when the apocalypse gets here😉🤣

[@franciscourena5636]

I think you did a fantastic job

[@dronepilot260rc]

You sir are a life saver with this video 📹 🙌

[@gizfpv]

I'm glad it helped 😊

[@ЯрославМилованов-в4б]

Спасибо! Интересно и очень хорошо снято! Хотел бы увидеть подобную инструкцию на летающее крыло reptile dragon.

[@seanyfpv]

love the use of 3d printed parts!! super clean, i'm planning a vtol build with the mini skyhunter soon

[@gizfpv]

Nice! That'll be sick

[@mrphucyoo8281]

That's a nice build, enjoyed that one, handy having the printer though eh? Makes a job just that bit more complete, well done bud, I want one!!!

[@thomasputko1080]

Great build.

[@MkmeOrg]

Holy smokes! Incredibly well done- both build and video. That editing... lot of work there :) PS no links to printed parts- Im gonna grab that pitot mount for sure. Cheers!

[@gizfpv]

You're not wrong, took forever to edit this lol. The links to the 3d prints is now in the video description :)

[@JohnDoe-eo8gi]

Great video

[@gizfpv]

Thanks :)

[@davidlee50]

Thanks for the wiring help.

[@ryanafriansyah8920]

Nice Job

[@gizfpv]

Thank you 🙂

[@KAJBS]

Awesome build! Thanks for the video

[@kool-k-kel]

Good to see you back 👍

[@davidgladwell6283]

Great build mate!

[@gizfpv]

Thanks! :)

[@EDDIETO1]

That was one phenomenal well-made video , job well done and not to mention nice job on the airplane very clean that’s my style of building an airplane how it should be done....!!!!!

[@jpicazio]

well done

[@chiewy778]

Thanks for this incredible video.

[@aidanmcgee5900]

Absolutely brilliant, thanks

[@nathanjenkins4426]

Really well done

[@Chickennoodlesoup0117]

15:11 I’m not the only one that saw that on the screen right

[@chbilchahbeddine410]

great vedio, keep going!

[@gizfpv]

Thanks :)

[@serang]

I dont always give thumbs up. But when I do, it must be a something special

[@GOSSIPSTONETV]

Great job in making this process look so ‘easy’! ))

[@arniesbox]

Nice neat design and build..... you must already engineer on some bigger machines, or if you don't currently, you should!!

[@smokyfpv2468]

Great video and great build. Also now with crsf LQ information can be passed through channel 17 that then frees up the 12 channels for everything else. I know with my skyhunter 1800 and my mini talon I need them 12 channels for modes especially with the pan and tilt.

[@tareqtechnical546]

Very nice work

[@Thiago_TS_BR]

Great job !

[@MrKtmstu]

Great video thanks!

[@JorgeJimenez2020]

Great video, keep it up! Liked and subscribed!

[@droneredneck170]

Awesome setup sir., 👍👍👌

[@rasgamer1213]

Niceness 😊

[@RakishRc]

Wonderful video! 👍

[@philzvids3577]

Very neat job. I've been flying an original micro Skyhunter for a couple of years and it's a great plane. It doesn't have all the gadgets yours does though!

[@franciscourena5636]

Great job

[@nilremlaura]

Seu video ajudou muito, parabéns e obrigado.

[@stuweFPV]

I had the exact same problem with the 722 and go the same answer from matek :) i'm now at 303 and vbat_scale = 1111

[@soheilsalimi6148]

Awesome

[@abdulfpv3363]

very profesional video nice job , goood ....

[@Hamza_ah76]

That laptop wallpaper

[@TheWilliam1916]

Fabulous!!

[@k6lsn]

Man, immediately I noticed how clean this build looks. Will definitely check out the entire vid soon. Thx for sharing, have an Esky Eagle/Easy that may end up with this setup or similar eventually. Have the Kopilot installed and just waiting on a receiver to maiden it. Anyway, ☮️ Wheelchair John in Idaho 😎 p.s., was subd on my Roku so subd on my mobile also, been subd for a bit and enjoy your vids, look forward to more.

[@deWeik]

Well done! Subbed!

[@MrZeek101]

I love it I am building an 1800 and going to use a lot of your ideas do you have 3d parts on file good to see you back Giz looking forward to more videos Take Care

[@kevintorevell2406]

Great video as always, Where do you fly looks amazing!

[@brundlefly3658]

Absolutely awesome video! -> subbed

[@jamesturncliff5960]

Great video. How about a head tracker??

[@DeeJayEll]

Brilliant tutorial. 👍 inspired me to crack on with a wing build tmr. Quick question... I remember you dabbling with 2.4ghz video a couple of years ago. Did you persevere with that?

[@gizfpv]

2.4ghz video was amazing, it just works so well and gets you fantastic range. But after about a year of using it I reverted back to 5.8ghz. Reason for that is I stopped flying super long range so didn't really need 2.4 anymore

[@NoAgendaFPV]

Top notch, but raising your own bar like this only means you have to keep up this level of production in the future ;)

[@NoAgendaFPV]

And for this specific build, I highly suggest a USB extension with external (acft external) plate to access iNav without needing to remove the wing. Here is one I designed. www.thingiverse.com/thing:4377219

[@NoAgendaFPV]

I am also having issues with the current sensor on my F722-Wing in my A-10 build. And I have caps on both ESC power leads. Found this great current scale tutorial, although it isn't working well with my setup. www.mrd-rc.com/tutorials-tools-and-testing/inav-flight/setting-the-current-sensor-in-inav/

[@asotelles]

wondering why you set rth altitude to 7000 16:28

[@JediSwordMasters]

So you can receive hd camera footage live? Why can we not use those as fpv camera? Is it just too much latency?

[@rubenhakopian]

thanks for sharing. How much flight time and range did you get from this build?

[@jamesceastep8874]

Giz: Great setup, photography, & documentation. What was your all up weight, battery selection, and camera choice. Did you make the gymbal setup for the camera? Looks very light and efficient. - Jim

[@kotnapromke]

Add a flight controller С.H.U.C.K with 4g and it will be very interesting.

[@zeldalina1762]

needed this to motivate me to finish mine. Thanks! Do you have links to the 3d models?

[@gizfpv]

Yup, links to the 3d printed parts is in the video description :)

[@dainiusk.7632]

can you comment after 2 years of using it? what FC and VTX would you recommend? any other hardware that you would change now?

[@adammontgomery7980]

Why use a pan/tilt and fixed camera?

[@vysakhak191]

15:10 lol, look at the laptop!!!!

[@TauchTobi]

Is there a reason why you dont fully 3d print it? I mean like the hull as well?

[@MaureenBarton-u1c]

Quick question what pushrods am I supposed to get?

[@blackbirdboy1]

Love the new build vid, very polished. Can't wait to see some more footage from her. I have mine ready to maiden, but with a F405 and no pan/tilt. Really like the Pan. Thingyverse link to follow?

[@gizfpv]

Cheers man. Yup thingiverse links have now been added to the video description :)

[@ivanr8140]

Hi everybody! Help me please. Could you tell me what outside and inside diameter of tubes for tail???

[@tonytor5346]

Do you have a list of components & wiring diagram available for sale?
