Mr Steele ImpulseRC APEX DC Build Video 2022 Fettec/Crossfire/DJI

[@acresfpv4690]

I literally came back to this channel yesterday and was wondering, "When is he gonna post a new build video..." I come home today and here this is. I think I am magic.

[@tictacturkey3367]

I think you are a magic too sir

[@joelperez.]

You are magic though.💪🏼

[@creationlabsinc.189]

I concur. That is a strange coincidence. Maybe you are magic!

[@sunsetpark_fpv]

We need you here in this community bro - errrr - I mean sir 😁

[@dangrows_za4798]

I solder by hand every day of my life and generate an income making products that I solder together. Nothing wrong with how you do it. People could take notes. Only thing I'd do differently is have a fan blowing over your work space while using the iron. Well done Mr. Steele

[@ryanjones6837]

The fact this is for mick makes both you guys so much cooler. Wow

[@LilwickedFpv]

I just asked a 60 year old man who are you and he told me straight off the bat that is steel he knows nothing about quads you are now my number one fan again !!!!

[@timhookfpv]

Thanks Steele, you're very on time. I'm just about to do it. Hello from Belarus 🇧🇾

[@MLYE_realchris]

Mr. Steele in Black-Red-Gold 😊 Love the shirt…. Cheers from Germany. Your mindset is golden… wishing more people would think in that way…some principles should never get old thank you for getting me into FPV with this…

[@shALKE]

Oh, wonderful to have Schumacher in the hobby.

[@WanderinWizard]

21:21 you are the build master I learned a lot from your old vids this one is no different you are Meticulous and sometimes its hard to make a perfect vid/ build but you get the point across thanks for all the fpv quad knowledge over the years 👌🏻

[@rscalliwag07]

The last drone KZbin channel without dji/fatshark/walksnail drama! Great content!

[@ChadCarney-hu3du]

Idk this is 2 years old but I was not expecting a Mick Schumacher shout out. And I was DEFINITELY not expecting him to be a drone guy. So awesome

[@holisticaustralia]

I really enjoyed your build Mr.Steel, when I was young I flew the dual prop 🚁 then I got a drone and it flew away on me, I Decided I wasn't going to fly anymore until one day I got the DJI AIR 3, to bring some cinematic content to my channel, I found I liked sport mode best and Decided FPV was the way to go, long story short TINYHAWK 3 stuck in a tree, broke my AIR 3 trying to get it down, 3 more quads coming in the mail 😅 not sure what my first build will be but I certainly like watching these tutorials to have a little preparation. Much love and Respect 🙏 from Australia 🇦🇺 I dig your style Brother 👌😊

[@grandpabobbydean]

Never mind your piloting skills. Your soldering chops are awe inspiring!

[@renwillemse9634]

Love your vids your vids have brought me into fpv and just want to say thanks mr steele

[@Gti727]

Steele you are an amazing guy. I’m so glad we have you representing Fpv!!! You’ve earned everything you have and thanks for giving back to someone in the community that’s awesome!!!

[@MrSteeleFPV]

🙏🏼. Thank you Nick

[@Gti727]

I also wanted to tell you keep up the good work on Ethix. love all your products. I’ve probably spent close to 5k on different motors I tried and used once. But your motors are by far the smoothest I’ve flown keep up the amazing work!!! 🙇‍♂️

[@mattlong8002]

I love the chillhop music in the background. Same thing I used to study to in college. Very relaxing build video. I love the level of reality that is shown in this build! Mick will not be disappointed!

[@weirdmark]

I don’t know if you still get notifications but I watched this last night and was fascinated. I guess I have no life. I’m 74 and probably won’t build one but would like to. I’m trying to learn but it is hard. I have an Avata and eventually will try manual mode. Any way I thought it is a great video. You made the soldering look easy.

[@mafiafpv3469]

I can’t afford any Mr.Steele stuff but I just watched the whole video ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@ShaneGraham057]

I personally have found that the black *cloth* electrical tape to be easier to work with when securing motor wires. Nice build!

[@lililililililili8667]

They have it at the dollar tree in the band aid section

[@RC_Aviator]

thats a great idea im definitely going to get some of that

[@trisepp]

Thanks for that video, over two hours fpv meditation ;) and still learning new things

[@atixhd]

As usual top notch. Could you share all pids for Apex light, Apex Heavy, Apex DC/Digital so we can use them when we match exactly your builds pls.

[@bengruber888]

just as a heads up, would recommend still using steel on the inner frame-arm screws. In a crash, the head of an aluminum screw there came clean off, leaving the body inside the pressnut. Unable to get it out, I had to replace the whole arm even though no carbon was broken.

[@GooseWurkz]

Love your build videos! Always great attention to detail and explanation.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

My main man Goose!

[@filiprez33]

I'd like to see analog continued somehow. Amazing kit and build video. :)

[@FlyHighWisconsin]

I just got a custom ApexDC HD and love it!! Mine is running a T-Motor F7 Pro FC with Hobbywing 60A ESC, with Tracer. Thing is a beast!

[@steve-adams]

Soldering on a 2x4 over a door mat, I love it

[@Drawmaster33]

In your video you’re making a backup from your other quad to copy that file to the build. Can you share this file please? Can’t see everything what you put through the Kiss GUI. Excellent video btw! Keep up the good work 🙏

[@dsone6333]

the cutest fpv drone assembly

[@SBvice]

Busy building Apex HD, my first 5inch and this pops up, impeccable timing as usual Mr S!

[@flytec3d933]

Crash, rip , rebuilt, I tend to find the weak spots in my quads pretty quickly ! The strength in your APEX are excellent Steele, hopefully now I will be more in the air than on my bench lol Great video and thanks for all your input...

[@DavidOwensuk]

Great video, my Steele edition Apex DC has just shipped too! So very timely too!

[@kapnmorganfpv5784]

just built mine with top shelf parts about six weeks ago and no longer than 10 seconds in the first flight i knew it was my favorite quad by far. fettec g4 aio 35a brother hobby gom dji camera on caddix vista. love it

[@akitaishi]

1:37:58. Steele's got a cockroach in your workshop !

[@chad9160]

Just wanted to drop a thanks for all you do Steele. Got back into fpv thanks to you and am now deciding between this frame and the standard with 5” arms all round. Love your content :)

[@zlachannel8674]

after 3 years..finally the new build videos,,,

[@RobertDunaway]

This looks like it's going to be a great build. I'm excited to get it all together. Do you have an Amazon link to the Gummies you show at 24:00?

[@squintsfpv]

Watching now. Glad to see you back it! 💪

[@OfirArbel]

I’m building it and I have a question: the capacitor- can it touch the frame ? It looks like you connected it in the front and bend it to the frame . I’m thinking of put it inside a shrink and than connect it to the ESC.

[@timdosch2433]

Hell YEAH!!!! For Mick!!! Thats so awesome to know one of my favorite F1 Drivers Flys Drones, and Ethix to boot!!! Right on Steele!!!

[@will450ktm]

Thanks Steele I learned loads on this video the best pilot with the best products 👊🏻

[@JohnIn2SonAZ]

I run the Camera cable to the Vista under the ESC. Nice video and kit Steele.

[@cathrerinezetadrones3169]

Yooo that battery strap tip is great! I was going under both, now I see!

[@K3S01L2]

The cockroach at 1:37:35 was like "Is it safe to come out alread... NOUP" :D

[@matuka3755]

Many of us have been learning from your build videos since you started making them, Steele; and this one did not disappoint ;-) I was hoping to catch a peek at how you worked mounting the Air Unit and its dual antennae - maybe a short follow-up with that?..

[@gpolak1]

So next one for me and my father ;)

[@Jmagdiel69]

2:03:30 that mosquito at 3am 💀

[@DexterGoneWild]

1:37:35 you got a special visitor in the back :}P

[@mikespeedyfpv321]

I am building my right now lol crossfire and DJI All day with a T-motor f7 HD stack hell yeah brother

[@kerrymillar4981]

I know a lot about drones mck is the master he makes every body else look like a Wally. He is the iron man and the real goat!.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

👌. I agree but MCK can’t speak Mercian

[@kerrymillar4981]

@@MrSteeleFPV you freestyle better as well

[@spiresfpv]

I’m definitely an Apex and Fettec fan!! Awesome video!

[@imager09tube]

How are you, man! Good to see you! Love your drones!

[@winstonliza8244]

My legends hair just turned white damn time really flies very fast

[@bernhard8540]

Quick question, is there a built in osd now with the updated hardware? And whst about on-board audio? I mesn these questions for the analog build parts list in the description? I really like on-board audio and the osd from the og apex I have been flying I built it over covid from your og build video but the frame came with the osd board? So do I need to buy that same board and add it to the new build with the updated parts? Thank you in advance for anyone who can answer and much love to steele for these videos they do wonders for those newer builders like myself 💙💙💙 never not amazing watching a Mr steele build update video💙💙💙

[@tbrown1352002]

Finally made the jump to digital about 4 months ago and went with walksnail and their goggles x and have no regrets. Great picture quality and have options for other ecosystems with the a/v in feature. Not a big fan of the DJI monopoly and lack of support for older equipment/airframes

[@joshuapierce-bx8qu]

I’m curious, is blue loctite needed for any of the screws??? I was under the impression every screw was going to need loctite

[@FlyShamu]

U R a wizard man! 😎

[@findler]

Can't recommend the classic apex enough :)

[@meirdeaph]

Sooo smoove an super clean build! I love it

[@danimalthefirst]

Have you considered heat shrink a solid colour around whole battery? Improves grip, looks bold, protects battery a touch, but does add a little weight. 80mm.

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

Excellent... just love your Apex frames

[@bladesfpv4179]

Hats off my dude. Your build videos are really detailed and informative. I appreciate the time you take on making them with such detail. Keep up the great work you do in helping moving this hobby forward. Much appreciated!😎🔥🔥🤓

[@ruebenfilmz]

Tis the perfect experience. Muchness on ya S. Looking forward to my first build wit thisss

[@GrrillaFinger]

Big up from the Golden globes

[@jamesscarr3372]

Surely the flight characteristics are compromised somewhat as the deadcat design means that the length between motors is different to a normal frame even if the width is not and it is still a square?

[@MrSteeleFPV]

You just shift the batter back a few cm and it sets up the CoG

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Since the motors are symmetrical the on this “deadcat” if you shift the CoG back it flies super close to a standard X quad

[@jamesscarr3372]

Ah that makes sense cheers! Will be buying one shortly

[@vighneshagumbe]

Do you really recommend fettec That's electronic cach fire 🔥 middle of flight

[@pandemiofpv]

VERY GOODD IDEA THE PROTECTOR MOTORS OOOUUUU YEA !!

[@benkimmitt]

Love the videos.👍

[@benkimmitt]

I wish. Send it!

[@porroco]

Long time not seen those mr steele quada as bnf, i got 2 of those priceless rigs whenever i had the chance.

[@docmalc47]

Nice tip on the shoulder bolts!

[@RCRitterFPV]

I have AOS, FPVcycle, and Project 399 frames... well and a 6" alien.. but I should do one of these, so well dialed. Great build video as always.. No dampening grease ? I'm not sure If I fly better with it, but the frame certainly feels more solid.

[@mhoovair89]

Apex is better imo

[@NaorFPV]

i put the velcro on top of the rubber so the battery will not touch the top screws. and velcro stick good to the rubber

[@FPVChoppa]

Thanks Steele.

[@chinny0803]

Steele, is the FETtec Spike-Absorber something that you feel is unnecessary, or was it not an available product until now?

[@eprohoda]

how’s everything going?! fanatstic uploading! :)

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Things are great I’m back home now. Headed to Rampage this weekend

[@WKfpv]

I'm having doubts about hard mounting the o3. Something tells me it will be bad in crashes

[@stoneenforcer]

Am I understanding this correctly, i can gut my dji fpv and move everything onto the mr steel frame?

[@ceazy1861]

Cant wait till these are back in stock at getfpv

[@mcronfpv8736]

oh oh I didn't know this existed... I'm tempted to buy one to put 7inch arms in the back and 6 inch in the front : would it work with 6 inch props ? The idea is to get a DC frame to film ski, and the added flight time of a 6inch is very nice in winter...

[@popfpv]

That bug is gonna eat you! Look out! 🤣😅 1:37:34

[@eddiestaggs8966]

I ordered the wrong frame. I wanted the hd frame which i thought i ordered. Can i switch the rear and top plate or just order another frame?

[@rawpicsfpv3516]

Will you make a vid about the dji action 2? Would love to hear your opinions

[@dokttorwifly9779]

did u using a coating pcb ? is that important

[@franz5076]

great video, ive learned much. Thanks!

[@quigongiangaming3391]

What batteries should I get for my 6s nazgul 5 v2? I think tattu R-line 1300 or CNHL Black Series 1300 would be good. Should I do one of those or something else?

[@mrmagoo600]

Do you know of any reason the G4 1.7 won’t connect to the kiss gui ! is there a step that needs to be taken? It’s ok I’ve done it, had to load kiss firmware on it first from the FETtec configurator

[@simonkung4486]

Very cool videos, love it. I think I will begin to fly fpv too😃🔥

[@Acrocinematic]

I have test new DC Apex it is fine! I have analog version HD and DC frame ...thanks video I give video in French review for Apex this weekend...in hdzero configuration

[@pafff_3d]

Wow! I didn't know that Mick Schumacher is interested in FPV

[@cjacob741]

I currently have one of your apex builds but can’t stand analog. About to buy the dead cat gram and a new FC and vista and convert this bad boy.

[@sovcat8671]

Does the deadcat have any negative flight characteristics as apposed to the standard one?

[@Zanofpv]

Hey Steele, great content as usual! I got your dc frame kit and want to do an analog build! The problem I have is the sma mount doesn’t fit where it should! I think I have the hd version so the back end is wider! Can you tell me if standard apex upper main and top plate is interchangeable with deadcat frame? Any other suggestions on mounting the unify pro securely? Thanks

[@FlyZoneFpv]

Right on bro. Thanks for this tutorial 🤙🏼

[@toranmurray-preece7354]

how much is this whole build ? and can i get these parts easily in the uk ??

[@Bar2Fer]

Does it replace the Apex 5 inch classic for Freestyle or is it just another range?

[@joelperez.]

I have the same question… 🤔

[@spacecentraleurope9826]

Any particular reason why the Vista has to be isolated from the frame? Never heard that before

[@MrSteeleFPV]

I explained it if you listened :)

[@MystikSquash]

Heck ya! Awesome

[@NoflectioN]

That's funny I just built my Apex DC last night.

[@marshallsweatherhiking1820]

How do I unscrew the propellers? The builder made the screws so tight! I don’t want to damage the propeller.

[@MrSteeleFPV]

Maybe they are clockwise threads ?

[@marshallsweatherhiking1820]

Tech help lied to me it seems. Its impossible to install without cutting the wire. Ugh.

[@marshallsweatherhiking1820]

Is cutting the plastic at the narrow part a problem?

[@ronnyrengkung7894]

Thank you for the Tutorial Bro,....!! Nice Build.... !!

[@Mxoderberg]

Noob question. Shouldn't there be shrink tube on the capacitor wires when it was running over the esc and under the fc or is it ok?

[@MrSteeleFPV]

If they are silicone wire it’s ok. Make sure they aren’t bare

[@BrianQuigleyPatrick]

Where to get the gummies Mr. Steele used to isolate the ESC?

[@MrSteeleFPV]

I got them from Amazon. Uxcell silicone 3mm inner Diameter 7mm outer diameter 20pcs

[@abdullahaltner4649]
