How to build a BUDGET 180km/h FREESTYLE FPV drone

[@serenestateofbeing1062]

I built something very similar but used a cheaper vtx. I built the 2023 budget build on troncats channel. I have a major issue with the vtx signal breaking up when im flying in close proximity. Channel is correct, tried a few different channels, solder joins are good, i moved the vtx wires from touching the power cables and nothing i try is helping the signal. Vtx is the happymodel ovx303 400mw any input is appreciated but not expected. Loved the build!

[@bilumedia]

Thanks man for your kind words, Troncat FPV is very good pilot, I love his work and I am inspired constantly by his videos! Try the Antenna, maybe you have a dfective antenna or not the same polarisation antenna! I mean RHCP and LHCP, they work together, but not very good if you mixed the 2 together!

[@lifebehindtheselens]

Check thaylt atenna is actually plugged on firmly, and or Use different atenna! Mine did same thing

[@dronefilmsgermany]

Which location is this it’s beautiful. Is it near Hamburg?

[@bilumedia]

Hello my friend, this is actually in Romania near the border to Serbia and this is the Danube river near Orșova city 😊

[@gaonajon]

Is there a GoPro being used during the flight section of the video?

[@bilumedia]

Yes, because it is an analog camera onboard!

[@bradraymond5502]

turtle mode works fine on freestyle quads. once you put a battery on top of it, it always lands on a tilt, so theres always one side in the air and you just have to roll in the right direction because turtle mode will only activate one side at a time.

[@bilumedia]

hmmm, this makes sense yeah! But in order to recover you have to spin the props that are on the ground, no? or spin them backward?

[@bradraymond5502]

@@bilumedia yep they spin backward. in the betaflight OSD you can even setup an arrow that will pop up when you turn on turtle mode, that will tell you what direction to push your stick, based on what direction the lean is so that you dont accidentally activate the side thats on the ground

[@bilumedia]

@@bradraymond5502 Thank you very much, I didn't know that! I thought it spins normal and the other motors spin normally, but this makes sense especially for drones without propguards! thanks again, much appreciated 😊

why is the SpeedyBee F7 V3 more expensive then the SpeedyBee F405 V4? is the SpeedyBee F7 V3 better? because it doesn't seem like it

[@bilumedia]

@@Rmni2 F7 has a much powerful processor and i think it has some extra uarts, but for most applications F405 is enough… i have F7 flight controllers as well on my other drones, i tend to use them in drones with GPS for the extra processing power…

Hello, first of all, I have 2 questions. 1.How many minutes can you use the drone once you start it? Did all the equipment for the second drone cost 220 dollars?

[@bilumedia]

Hello my friend, it depends on how fly and what battery you use! I would say that on a 1500mah lipo battery you can go for around 6 minutes! But if you use a big li-ion battery you can go for 20-25 minutes, but i didn’t test this… What second drone? To build the drone, all the components cost around 220$ yeah, but you need goggles and rc and battery, and of course charger… And if you want good quality video you need a gopro or similar camera because this is analog and the image is not so good, i couldn’t record it because i didn’t have googles that can record at that time… We can talk more on instagram if you need more help 👍 :bilu.media, it is easier there

[@fatmagumus8258]

@@bilumedia thank you very much for your answer When I want to build a drone, I want a drone that is fast, powerful and can fly for a long time. Do you have any suggestions?

[@_google_user_]

What prop and pitch, lipo and mah and total weight with battery? I have the same FC with a flyfishrc volodor II with only O3 DJI 780g no gopro. I haven't got GPS working but I figured only 120km/h with the FC and frame at 5 inch. I cannot believe I get 180km/h, also you're not reading mph are you? I know that most people get 120km/h average and 120 mph is approximately 180km/h so it might be confusing ... I must be doing something wrong I must need to flash the same ESC firmware and retune.

[@bilumedia]

Hi my friend, this is an analog build, the recording at the end is from the gopro hero 11 mini, i didn’t have goggles that can record dvr back then and this is why i have only the gopro footage, this is km/h yeah, not mph! And it is for short time, i believe i used a 650 6s battery so it was only for testing, i fly it for fun now and practicing with 1300-1500 mah battery 👍, i used the t-motor 5146 and gemfan 51466 i believe

My first and second builds were budget builds, medium price range at best, learned a lot about flying ang got a lot better. A few years have past I have decided to build a big budget freestyle quad. Long story short high dollar frame has more noise than both budget frames. First frame was clone apex second frame was this v5 source frame, I'd have my 30 dollar clone apex over my 70 dollar frame. Looks came at a price.

Most of the times expensive stuff are better than cheap ones, but i can say for sure that of new comers in FPV are very good if not better than the big players!

Is that right: 1950kv motors 6 min - flight 750 g - weight 180 km/h. Can we encrese speed, using hier kv? Can this drone fly to 2 km high? If we install battery to drone wheith - 1 kg. How we can get 180 km/h? Is this possible? Thanks

[@bilumedia]

Hi, the flight time is for cruising not freestyle flying! and the speed is in the perfect conditions... you can say 140-150km/h is the normal speed of the drone... If you want to increase the speed you have to use a different frame for ergonomics or design some add ons and print them for aerodynamics... there are some frames from Criss Rosser :cncdrones.com/aos-hs5.html, with this one you can fly faster for sure... It is not easy task, because you have to try different motors and kv's to find the sweatspot between weight and efficiency and power... maybe I will take a video about this and try different motors and kv's and props to find the fastest drone...

[@jeffowashere]

One correction: the loose blue wire on the camera wiring loom that you identify as a camera controller wire that never works and you say you will remove ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6LFmmCmh5uborM) is NOT a camera control wire. That loose blue wire is the voltage sense wire. It is used so the camera's built in OSD can sense the battery's voltage. If you want to control the camera via the flight controller through beta flight you need to use the blue wire that has a plug the one you are holding at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6LFmmCmh5uborM. So you need to cut the plug off and solder that to the camera control pin if you want to use camera control via the flight controller.

[@bilumedia]

thank you very much for your valuable information, I didn't find any info about this online! it makes sense of course to change the settings via the same wires that are used by the external remote controller, but I have the voltage value on my OSD! You mean for a board that has a VTX integrated on it?
