Nanolongrange V2 - single 18650 FPV drone with GPS

Here is the improved version of my Nanolongrange FPV drone frame. The .stl file for 3d printing the frame can be downloaded for free on Thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:481... I'm very happy with the results. Next upgrades will focus on the FPV system (different antennas and new RX module). Update: for more range set the VTX to higher power levels (as far as your local regulations allow +25mW). I will also test 21700 batteries and the Insta360 Go 2 on this frame.

[@magneticanimalism7419]

Of all the things in your video I could have commented on I decided that I really like your Livingroom rug :D Oh and the video was great thanks.

[@begeekru]

But how does one switch vtx power? i tried using "set vtx_power=2" > "save" but it seems not to affect anything, also added "pit mode" in ranges, switch does not make any difference either

[@Unboxingexperience7]

You need to enable smart audio on the corresponding UART ( I think it was UART 2) then you can switch

[@begeekru]

@@Unboxingexperience7 now i did that and vtx changed channel and hopefully power, but gps totally stopped working, i think i failed gps module with some data, because i did not disconnect it :( (surely i changed port settings back to gps)

[@Unboxingexperience7]

when you switch the gps in the ports tab off, you ll loose the configuration. After enabling the gps in the ports tab, go to the configuration tab and ensure that the GPS is enabled with the correct parameters.

I love everything about this project. Nice innovative design, shared files and well edited video!

[@jgreg95]

Everything about this remind me of when we first started building micros but we could only dream of getting this kind of flight time, printing our own frames and having gps onboard. There’s still allot to learn if you are just getting started but it’s greatly simplified with the simplicity of this kind of setup. I’d recommend going this route for anyone wanting to get started in FPV over spending thousands of dollars on one drone only to crash it once and be done, love it.

[@myhonchosg]

Impressive. 20mins flight time. 💪🏼

[@andyspoo2]

Best things about this are the flight time and the speed at which you can change the battery. The small quads with like a 4 minute flight time are a pain. And they often allow the battery to re-positioned each time you insert one, which can mean re-calibrating the balance again, by which time your 4 minutes are up. Great work on this!

[@MrTrevorroe]

Great job mate, I have built 100s of drones for people and my self, I have never designed and built a drone from scratch, top 3d printing, that wind looked choppy and still kept flying stable thumbs up to you to show this is a great build, remember the rules props off or fingers off when in Betaflight setup😀 I took 3 injuries to learn the hard way, no fingers no flying or build, great job very impressed 👏

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

Good level, and bed surface prep. Personally I've never had issues with PLA sticking to the bed even with the stock Ender material. With ABS I use abs dissolved in acetone. You can also try the salt water method for PLA. With hard stick, spray IPA on it and wait and it will delaminate itself without damage to the bed.

wait what does the batt connector have to do with throttline issues. Daves used a pcb mount one, which would probably have had greater series resistance that would have only really mattered at high amps beyond what 18650's are capable of anyway....the power throttling is for other reasons.

[@timn4481]

An engineer would design the frame using finite element analysis to model the force at each motor mount and determine frame deflection to build the lightest frame geometry for a desired frame flex. For optimum flight u dont necessarily want stiffness at all points. If u want minimum flex then you can't beat FEA to design it right first time every time.

Thanks, I thought about that too. But I didn't do it as 18350 are heavier (2x 29g vs 49g) and provide less current (2x10A) than a single top notch 18650 cell (35A). So I 'm wondering which cells are you using?

yes, this works. I already tested with an omnidirectional antenna. but I mounted it to the gps cage. it interfered and I couldnt gat a gps fix. now I m trying a simple whip antenna.

How much you charge build send out I just not got time or patients to shoulder them small pads you make it look easy

I'm not selling them. But manufacturers will jump on the bandwagon and offer PNP/BNF versions. Rekon 3 by Dave_C_FPV will be the first as far as I know.
