I jumped straight into a 5” alien with quality parts, a taranis, fat shark dominator HD’s and an icharger. My friend creeped into the hobby with multiple radios, goggles, cheap builds and cheap chargers. At this point we have been flying the same amount of time but he has spent nearly double what I have l and isn’t as good because he switched equipment so much. Sometimes diving right in and going for it is the best option!

I have a UR65, Mobula7, an Beebrain lite. The lite flys just like the UR65. But it gets better flight times. And nano brushless motors have bushings not ball bearings. They wear out after about 10hrs, and are $40 to replace. The brushed motors last 5hrs and are $20. So the cost is the same. Only big difference is turtle mode. But having to get up and flip your quad is how you learn not to crash. Making things easy is ok, but removing the frustration of learning doesn't help.

Ye, Steele gives bad advice time to time, he doesn't look from others perspective and only gives advice on what is best for him. Like the time when he was helping a guy making his quad lighter and took his motor bumpers because they added weight to the quad.. Here is a message for you Steele(don't take it serious): Everyone crashes with their quads, some more then others (even my self). Some have money to replace their motors every day, some have sponsors( like your self), but most of us/your viewers aren't so fortunate like you.. Direct hit on the pavement, a bumper will make the motor almost indestructible. Without it, you can pretty much sign off the motor( ye some times you can get away with replacements, it's a hassle and aren't cheep either). I'm telling this based on my own experience: in few months i broke/bent three sets of motors (two of the crashes were free falls from no more than 20 ft), since i'm using bumpers i didn't bent one motor. i became way comfortable flying my quad thus drastically improved my flying skills over short period of time. I'm not saying your intentions aren't good, they just might not be good for the majority.. Peace!

Man Steel, these brushed motor haters are strong here. I have a BBlite and know of what you speak. Brushless indoor FPV is hard. With all that power comes a need for good control. Something a beginner lacks. You start banging around the house with a 75mm TinyHawk, Mobula7, or even a UR65. Your going to break stuff. 6mm brushed whoops are the best indoor FPV rig hands down. And the Beebrain lite is the best 6mm whoop ever.

@@thelazerproject it is the durability and all-rounded usability for especially new people coming into the hobby that Steele is getting at. There is a lot that a Tiny whoop can do, some it cannot do, but it teaches you to become a better pilot--it flies well, but you need to for instance avoid propwash bc brushed motors freak out in propwash--something you can apply to when you go into FPV in real life. It also allows you to explore more and fly more things, underneath the couch, through the struts in a stool--things that you don't notice usually, but then in the goggles you soon gain that confidence and awareness to fly them--same thing done on a five inch is like finding a tree split that you can pull a sick knife edge through.

I went the micro way to start out. Got an inductrix for Christmas and put an aio cam in it. I skipped the simulator and learned to fly acro on the inductrix, got pretty good and eventually upgraded to a babyhawk r 3 inch during the summer because im in canada and wanted to stay below 250g and wasn't ready to build my own quad from scratch. It took me a while to get used to the power of a brushless quad on 4s so i limited my throttle curve on my transmitter to 35% to start out. Its a big jump from being used to flying at 80% throttle just to stay in the air, to being able to launch into the sky at 20% Flying via monitor isnt too bad either, ive been flying off of a 4.3inch monitor mounted on my transmitter for a year and i find it is a very easy to focus. I just ordered my first pair of box goggles with a removable screen yesterday after trying a guys goggles at an indoor flying event.

Hey dude, i started getting into fpv with this series, first i wanna thank you. I've been trying to get into fpv for years but always felt like it had to be a multiple months/over $1k commitment, which always turned me off. Until you separated that into the steps you did. So far i got a Taranis Q X7 and i've been flying on lift off for 3 days. It's amazing i am starting to feel more confident about it. I've been looking into the drone, unfortunately the drone you have listed here and linked is sold out. I visited a local hobby shop and the guy said he had nothing that would pair with the Taranis and he doubted anyone did since it was and i quote "Trash" i figured it was just the sales guy in him so i ignored it. However it left me in a weird place where i dont feel like i know enough to buy a drone and have it not even pair with my radio. could you point me in the directions of a few drones that would work easily with the Taranis brand. Thank you and keep up the hard work i love the content and it makes me more excited to have my full set.

Regarding the hair. It's not the drone flying into hair. It's hair flying into the drone. If you turtle it a lot which is something you will do when you are new and flying indoors, hair and carpet threads gets sucked into the props and winds themselves around the shafts. I had to pull the props off to remove hair and carpet threads after almost every battery change during the first couple of days. If all 4 props are not spinning equally at idle after arming then you probably have hair or carpet threads stuck between the prop and the motor. It doesn't take much to make it unflyable. Also if flight times are low one or more props are most likely getting hung up.

@@KlownFPV Don't rush yourself mate, I have only been flying about 6 months, spent a lifetime in the simulator, I prefer Freerider recharged, they have just added a course builder its great. I only use it as my PC is old and low performance graphics and it runs freerider perfect. On my first genuine flight I was doing split s's and power loops. I still have a long way to go, but the longer you stay with the sim and the more confidence you build the more you will save in the long run. Money that is. Remember crashing in the sim doesn't cost a penny . :) And think about it if your a gamer and comfortable with the games controller maybe you would be better of with the Xlite transmitter. Its Frsky same as the QX7 and it has Hall effect gimbals worlds apart from the analogue ones in the QX7.

Takes time , they have to build the row boat first ! My expe6 is that if you need it in a hurry or dont want to wait then look for local suppliers. The China stores take along time to get stuff to the states. Sometimes paying 5-10 more $ is worth it since the wait will be less. Nevertheless your stuff will come .

So I actually skipped this step when getting into the hobby, and went straight to a 5 Inch and it went surprisingly well

Bind and fly vs having to setup with betaflight and what not. I started on a Eachine, it was very frustrating.

Is that a ukulele quad in the background Steele? That would be cool to see fly if it is, frame might put a lot of noise into the system tho haha
@gregvittore50046 жыл бұрын
NICE! Thank you! 3rd week of sim...can't wait to fly a real quad! Will you talk about Betaflight for the setup of the mini drone at one point? Or shall we just try the first flight with the factory settings? Have a great year 2019! BAAM!

To be honest I do practice on a sim but I have found that flying a real one isn't as hard as the sim a nice 2s is gonna get you used to flying a 5" I don't have a tinyhawk but I had a couple of brushed tiny whoops that flew like crap in acro they don't have the power.You be alright with a 2 or 3 s it's very manageable Outdoors
