✨🚀 How to build a 7" Long Range FPV drone

[@Hat_Uncle]

AWESOME AWARD granted! I have a M4P that got me into the FPV scene but have been thinking I want a 7" long range drone, this seems almost perfect to me. It at least gives me a place to start and was well explained. I truly appreciate your efforts and skill.

[@bilumedia]

Thank you very much for your appreciation and kind words 😊! I love this drone for cruising and long flight. It is buttery smooth and extremely powerful when you feel like going crazy a little bit 😅. Let me know if you need help, advice… anything. I am here 💪🤟

[@PhilMangan-x9m]

Thank you very much mate !! This is my next project 😎🤜🤛 You tutorial is amazing ! Best vid yet

[@bilumedia]

Thank you very much 😊, I am happy that you like ! good luck with your next build and let me know if you need any help 💪🤟

[@wutufux1336]

Dude your content is amazing! I built my 5inch according to your tutorial. I'm planning as well a 3.5 inch build for cinewhoop, I've ordered already the speedybee35 but I saw you made as well a video which is awesome! Thanks a lot for your content, you're really helpful. Flying everyday 3-5 packs to get better :) Thanks

[@bilumedia]

Thank you very much for your kind words 😊. Very happy to help! I have more build videos coming soon 💪! If you need help don't hesitate to ask, good luck with your build and happy flying 🛸✈🛩

❤Saw that quad in one of your short clips. Was wondering then when is the build vid coming out, then , viola... Awesome build. Keep it coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bilumedia]

Hehe . thank you very much for you kind words! more build with amazing drones are coming soon 😀

[@emon6436]

enjoyed every second of the video. great detail in everything.

[@bilumedia]

Thank you very much. It is my pleasure, I am very happy that you enjoy my content 😊

[@Jayden_meps]

Super detailed assembly video, very very useful content, always love your videos🤟🤟🤗🤗

[@bilumedia]

Thank you very much 😊. I love building drones 💪😍

[@trevc]

Great overview, thanks. Now that it's almost a year later, are there any parts you would swap in for updated versions? Are there better 7" frame options? Still looks good to me. I'm not sure long range gear has changed too much.

[@bilumedia]

Hello my friend, a love this frame very much, recently i crashed this drone and the frame is gone, i am thinking about the new luminier 7 inch frame, the motors are super and the stack i would go with the speedybee f405 v4 for a more budget friendly option, o3 the same since we don’t have o4 yet 😃

[@ThePieSnatcher]

your soldering iron looked a little cold but the video was awesome. Thanks!

[@bilumedia]

you are right yeah, the tip was small and the soldering was not very good! I changed the solder now to TBS solder and it is working great!

[@ThePieSnatcher]

@@bilumedia love my tbs solder!

[@youtubejack]

where would I get those 3d printed side walls?

[@bilumedia]

hi , here they are :) : www.thingiverse.com/thing:6082667

[@randomstuff.1774]

How much is everything combined??

[@fufuelhatch444]

700 aud

[@pointblank1292]

One of the best build videos i have seen 😄👍🏻

[@bilumedia]

Thank you my friend 🙏

[@Ddraig62SPD]

Another great build video! I built the AOS7 V1 (almost identical frame) about a year ago with the original DJI Air Unit. 690g without the GoPro or LiPo (20g more than my Chimera 7 DJI AU build). I use the same 4000maH GNB Li-Ion; good for about 15mins of slooow cruising but prefer the 3000mAH GNB LiPo for more aggressive hedge-hopping ;) Brother Hobby 2806.5/1300kV, SpeedyBee 50A stack, CRSF Diversity, GPS Mate, Matek M8 GPS, MMCX/SMA extenders, iFlight Albatross LHCP antennas and my own TPU. The frame design (like the original AOS5.5) isn't the best in terms of build convenience but it's rock solid .... even after crashing it into a lake and recovering it 3 weeks later!!

[@bilumedia]

Thank you my friend 😊 ! The V1 I guess has minor differences than the V1.2, I am thinking to put 2 1500 batteries on the drone, because I don't have bigger Lipo! Thank you very much for sharing your parts and build, it has the same equivalent parts but different manufactures.... Did you conformal coated your parts?

[@PickMe_Gaming]

where can i buy the anti-spark filter module?

[@bilumedia]

They have it on the iflight website!

[@dailyrevive3402]

Any Idea how much did the whole setup costed?

[@bilumedia]

550$-600$, for the drone only, without the goggles, batteries and RC!

[@evvehiclesnextgeneration2943]

you have won a sub

[@bilumedia]

Thank you 🤘

[@ebikefe]

Thanks for sharing! Which antenna did you use for the 03 air unit?

[@bilumedia]

Hi, I uses the Iflight long range antennas, 100cm long and 2 ufl to sma adapters!

[@dillacorn_linux]

This drone scares me

[@bilumedia]

😂😂😂, It is big yeas but it is very very smooth! It flies very nice and there is nothing to be afraid off 💪😂! Thanks for the comment, You made my day !

[@Basit77707]

I am really sorry to ask this question actually i am new to fpv drones i just wanted to know how do you recharge the battery of the drone i mean does it have a c type or any other port through which we can recharge the battery please reply it will be your great kindness ❤

[@bilumedia]

Hello my friend, depending on the drone, the small ones have a usb charger but the most of them use Lipo batteries and you need a dedicated charger that has a charging input and balance input, because usually the lipo batteries have multiple cells and the charger needs a balance lead to not overcharge one cell more than the other! For example this big drone uses a 6s lipo battery, this means that the battery has 6 cells and it has a charging wires(plus and minus) and 6 wires for the balance lead!

[@ralphmaalouf9401]

Whats the total cost of this drone? it looks insane, ive been wanting to build my first 7inch

[@bilumedia]

It is an amazing drone yeah, it cost about 620$ with the O3 onboard 😊, and if you build it with the speedybee f405 55a stack it costs even less i thin around 550$ 💪

[@LostintheLoops]

endurance?

[@bilumedia]

I will test the drone with different batteries to see how much it can fly with a cruise mode, I crashed it once and it survived, but I am not sure how tough is the frame though!

[@LostintheLoops]

@@bilumedia Thanks a lot for reply.. 🙂

[@darshanpdl]

What's the range ? In KM

[@bilumedia]

It depends really, the O3 is rated to 10 km max, but this is in ideal situations and without obstacles and straight line of view! And here is the rc link as well which is different from protocol to protocol and with what antena you are using…etc

[@darshanpdl]

@@bilumedia what about, if I flying it on my House Area, Very Crowded city...

[@bilumedia]

@@darshanpdl I wouldn't use a 7 inch for this, It is more suitable for a 5 inch freestyle drone! I have one my channel and a lot more 5 inch freestyle quads coming this month! if you are new to FPV, be very careful because 5 inch fpv drone can do some serious damage to people!

[@darshanpdl]

@@bilumedia I have a e-commerce site, upto 3Kg packages, I'll deliver it through the drone, it will be controlled by one of the worker at a certain place, and in each of the 5Km, there will be our man and doing the work in a team...Can I please get your Social Media account ? And I'll talk to you and maybe, you make some drone for us as a sample(I'll pay for it)...and if it founds suitable, I'll be paying you money for making a large number of drones like more than 100...But as a sample, I'll order about 10 drones...

[@bilumedia]

@@darshanpdl Hello, we can talk on instagram : bilu.media

[@ethanallred8084]

So how much did it cost to make?

[@greedfox7842]

omg the battery is so small. :3

[@bilumedia]

I want to put 2 batteries in paralel and make a paralel cable for this and build a 8000 mAh Li-ion battery, i will make videos for this 💪

[@malikbelaid8567]

Awesome work brother, i really like your work, i have some questions about that drones and i would like to get ur help, its for my graduation project. Where can i contact you ?
