NEW Speedybee F405 Wing MINI

[@sarahdaviscc]

They're making some premium products for budget prices. Great work SpeedyBee!

[@typxxilps]

1:56 - I like these coloured pins a lot. Always provides an additional orientation to avoid to mess up things.

[@SlavaStels]

Amazing, SpeedyBee brings FPV Hobby back to life!

[@BryonGaskin]

Finally, the battery pads in the front. In my builds it seems like the battery is always forward of the flight controller, the ESC pads are hit more miss when it comes to location, however the ESCs connections don't need to be moved like the battery connection. Seems like there is always more room behind the FC than in front of it. Plus seems like in most of my builds, most of the servo connections come from the back of the plane, not the front.

[@northernfpv9562]

Bang on! I agree wholeheartedly. Because most boards are built for quads.

[@johncarold]

Hi Lee, WoW Speedybee is killing it with their new products. I can't wait until my next build to try it out. Thanks again for the video and information about Speedybee new products.

[@MattExzy]

As a total novice, I was very impressed with the quality and presentation of their F405 wing board. I remember fumbling the soldering of AWG 14 power wires and needing to re-solder; good quality board and pads, since they didn't 'lift' off. Quality all-round.

[@jamesemery1]

good quality, good price (including cables etc) and small form factor. there's nothing to dislike

[@MrVasmikey]

Thanks Lee! I am absolutely dumbfounded that this board is $35! Wow! Talk about entering the market with a bang! I just ordered one off of your link.

[@funkynerd_com]

Just ordered one of these to throw in my Lil Glidr build I'm doing because it looks sooo tiny and will fit nicely in a frame that isn't actually meant to hold anything.

[@Painless360]

Best of luck with the build!

[@giankite3179]

The most interesting thing is the possibility fo connect an external bec !

[@ceziukozak]

Very nice. Looks like great fit for Nano Goblin. I wish F4 AIO and F7AIO were in stock though. Great FCs for drones that use 4 ESCs.

[@jpking8]

Thanks Lee - just ordered one for my next project. Looking to add to a Phoenix 2400.

[@robertgoldbornatyout]

Excellent review very helpful thanks Lee. for less than $40 that little thing can do all of that simply amazing .

[@MCsCreations]

Wow... If it's not more expensive than the other SpeedyBee wing FC... Then it's a non brainer, Lee! 😮 Great review as always! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@alexbringhurst8881]

This looks like just the ticket for my ZOHD Drift. Thank you for the review!

[@TheCatFather01]

Great product, i have a couple normal size ones and i love them, will deff get some of these as well

[@jwc4520]

Small version of the cursed YRF-4E, might benefit from this tiny unit, as it is powered by two 45mm fans . Not that itvwould ever reach a way point....lol but the tiny version is foam and is very light . 3gram servos seems wires keep getting smaller , and those darn tiny pads , ah this comes with wires major benefit. If I get it put together I'll send a picture. If it flies it will be the first model of the plane ever flown by R/C , thus the quest to build it. Original went in for new paint at museum about 12 years ago, I have some brushes in the garage perhaps I should lend a hand ..air force said no ....lol. Take care.

[@martianmcfly]

These boards are really good not only for wings, they're also good for land based vehicles such as crawlers etc. I do wish they'd incorporate a wing/rover setup to help being people more in to the car side of things.... They're almost already there with this kind of set up too!

[@shadow7037932]

Wait, you use this with a crawler? I assume just to do FPV part and not the stabilization?

[@martianmcfly]

@@shadow7037932 Yeah, I'm using something similar with my crawler, not for stabilization although it can be done if you want a camera gimbal. I mainly use it for the servo outputs, OSD and GPS data which comes in very handy for long range

[@chrissofpv3017]

Looks like a strong competitor to the Matek F405- WTN....🤗

[@MessingWithCode]

Great Video as always , i mean Speedybee is really doing an amazing job with those FCs for wings

[@revodrvr]

The pricing is insane. Super stoked for this

[@burntnougat5341]

This must be SpeedyBee's answer to the Matek F405 WTE. Just in time for some smaller scale builds

[@robertfpv7733]

I mount my fc with heavy duty velcro it is sorta tough to remove but if you need to remove it is still doable

[@tk-maker]

Love it so much, my next build going to use this mini version

[@confuseatronica]

thank goodness i ordered one of these yesterday, they're probably out today

[@velocistafpv]

Having the PDB board at the top is acually a great idea. I'm using the normal sized Speedybee F405 Wing with the PDB at the bottom; needed to cover the soldered leads as sometimes it touches the bottom pins. I'm still figuring out on how to expand the number of PWMs on the F405. I'm maxing out all 9 after putting in the pan/tilt headtracker on. Haven't found any good solution including on how to remap the 2nd motor to servo. Any ideas Lee?

[@nictimoulete7651]

another great video, i learn so much with them, thanks

[@visioneerone]

I’d read that Speedybee was going to be releasing a V2 version of the “big” wing FC with a revised power board which supported Pinio for the VTX power rail. Hope they include that update in the mini.

[@testpilotian3188]

I see they still haven’t fixed the one flaw in the TX1 and RX1 pins not bring on a nice lockable plug like the GPS and LED JST locking plugs.

[@basemandog]

You should do a difference video between the wing and full size. I have a mini in a wing. Not sure if i should get a full size, or another mini to put in my 2 meter glider

[@Painless360]

Both are great options, one is just smaller...

[@WJdriver000]

Wow! Just as i install my first 405

[@cbfsoar15]

love the layout and instructions BUT only 4 servos show up in the mixer, cold solder on the pad for the servo rail power, vtx pad had solder but not bridged, other that that i still like it, mauby the next one will work right

[@Painless360]

How odd. They are working perfectly here for me. Happy flying

[@eugeneaustin]

just bought one looks great now fitting in my sonic classic see me fly aaaarrr.

[@Painless360]

Best of luck!

[@sbezialisd]

is it possible to run the O3 on a 2S bat with this FC? I mean it is possible but will it handle voltages under 7.4V what is necessary for the O3 air unit?

[@Painless360]

Not sure, I don't fly the 03.. Best of luck

[@loc4725]

Well I know what I'm buying next! Thanks Lee!

[@meareAaron]

i wonder if this will work for a micro vtol build would be great to see a full build video using this

[@Painless360]

Yes, should be. See my other builds. Happy flying!

[@meareAaron]

@@Painless360 will do. great videos btw!

[@01VIPER27]

Great informative video. What is the difference between the Speedybee 405 and Matek 405 and which is better? Thank you in advance sir.

[@Painless360]

Better in what way? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpu1coeka6uKfMU

[@joseluisdeluna4310]

Hi Lee, love all your videos and all the info and teaching you share, want to ask you, I'm having problems with the speedy bee f405 wing with a t1 Ranger hee wing. It connects and start working properly, but at some point, al servos and motors stop working, fortunately I was able to discover this in bench testing before maiden. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Would love your input on this. 😅😅

[@Painless360]

Without a lot more information, it's tricky to guess. I'd do a thorough visual insoectiin and start unplugging things to see which ones stop it running... Best of luck

[@edivollgas719]

Perfect starting point for a little tailsitter vtol ?

[@dronepilot260rc]

The Speedybee takeover has begun 🎉

[@EEEEMMMMKKKK]

Hi. I would like to ask you what ESC are you recommend to this FC. I want to build a Nano Goblin with DJI O3 Air unit. What kind of batteries should i use to stay up der 250g. I am total beginner, never built a RC before😅

[@Painless360]

Check out my builds, they are designed for the new builder and cover all of the steps... Best of luck

[@hazzahfpv6675]

Well, damn! Just after I bought 2 AtomRC F405 NAVI Mini... and those I don't recommend, at least as long as they use the wrong inav-target for this board (short: blackbox logging does not work on this board at the moment).

[@heatherryan9820]

When you’re talking about the capacitor, what do you mean about putting a cap on it?

[@Painless360]

They are the same thing. See my video on it. Happy flying

[@terrybarnes325]

Can you connect a DJI Air unit to this and still use the DJI controller ?? if so how do you connect ??? thanks

[@Painless360]

Yes, same as any other flight controller. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXnQaqB7lK53m7M for examples..

[@wild_bound]

Hi there, do you know how can i control the led of Hee wing T1 with this flight controller? I have found one LED solder pad on the board, but where the other 2 wires will go? This led solder pad is for the signal wire right?

[@Painless360]

A spare 5v pad and a GND pad.. Best of luck!

[@wild_bound]

Thanks very much for the quick reply. I have watched all of your fixed wing build and review videos so far. I am new to fixed wing hobby. Lot to learn. Thanks again.

[@arthurganz]

Nice video as always. Wat do you mean by: "if you want tot limit the heat dissipation in to your video transmitter"? @6.45min

[@Painless360]

Many components have a voltage range they will work with. Those higher supported voltages need to be dropped to the level that the hardware actually needs. That excess voltage is dissapated as heat so supplying the much higher voltage just makes it much hotter. If a unit needs 5-12v, I try and run it at the lower 5v voltage levels for this reason. I hope that helps.. Happy flying

[@SebasBariSebasBari]

Hi Lee, thank you so much for your informative review. I found this video looking for a stabilizer for my MPX Easy Star 3 (Trainer airplane). I have been considering options like HobbyEagle, Sparrow, etc. All these options are easily above 60 EUR. However, there is this fantastic full flight controller with tons of features around 40 EUR? This seems to be no brainer! Am I missing something? Thanks again!

[@Painless360]

Nope, you're not missing anything. This is a bargain (like it's bigger brother)...

[@dbkgravity]

At minute 1:30, you actually dropped the pin bar from your hand when you realized it was the German version ;)

[@adamborkowski3175]

Interesting video, thanks.

[@victorwild3225]

All we now need is SpeedyBee to produce an HD FPV camera/transmitter/goggles system at a more reasonable price?

[@MrOctoroc]

Hi, I want to use this device only to power the dji o2 air unit. (first of all) - no motor, servos etc.- Do you see any problems with that?

[@Painless360]

It'll do that. I assume you want it for the OSD too? See my builds using this FC... Best of luck

[@MrOctoroc]

Thank you very much.✌🏼

[@victorwild3225]

Thanks

[@Painless360]

Thank you! That was very kind!

[@roki5941]

There is no cable/connector for the telemetry,,, How can I access the pin for the S-Port ??

[@Painless360]

I'm guessing you are not a regular viewer.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKfIpXx5oM2goc0feature=shared

[@roki5941]

​@@Painless360 Thank you very much for your reply. The Cable/connector is not provided in the "Mini 405" kit, only in the regular size 405 kit. They probably forgot to include it. So now I have to find a 6 pin GH1.25 telemetry cable to order.

[@taham6757]

hello sir nice video!! , mmm i actually have a question so i was making and rc fixed wing airplane and i wanted it to go fast and thought about using drone ESC and motors since they are powerful and light weight with a pixhauwk and flysky-i6x transmitter and receiver and i was wondering would i need a drone flight controller ??? cause since the ESC can be programed and it supports controlling each motor enviously and the pixhauwk have the gyro and every thing + i m not gonna do insane drone stuff like maneuvers and etc would it be a problem to not use a flight controller . and thxxxx very much !!! the ESC velox-V50A 6S 4IN1 32BIT from T-motors and the motor is VELOX V2812 7-8"Longrange Fpv Racing Drone Motor 6S KV925 with a gefan 8040-3 prop

[@Painless360]

Please check out my 'Motor and Prop' series that covers all of that stuff for you... Best of luck!

[@ulihartman8141]

Just be aware that if one connects a ELRS receiver on the R1/ T1 pins, the firmware update will not work! I just spend quite some time to figure that out until I realized that the already connected ELRS module was the problem...

[@Painless360]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWjGi2hojLV7oMU It's not uncommon... best of luck!

[@ulihartman8141]

Hi. Ive setup my f405 mini on inav 6 as a rover, so i can use it on my rc car. And connect to dji 03 air unit on goggles 2. Got goggs setup fine and have image.... also i have working steering servo at S3. The issue im having....is arming the thing. Everytime i flick switch on my MT12 to arm...the blue light and buzzer repeat in short fast blinks... till i get sick of hearing it. I cant find anything to tell me audio error beep meaning. What is it an how can i rectify it please. Cheers

[@petfrogg]

Would this work well on a rc boat too?

[@Painless360]

It would. Happy sailing!

[@swissfreek]

My one wish would be a pit switch but that’s a tiny gripe considering all the features and the price. To me there’s almost no reason to use the bigger one for most situations, you’re barely giving up any features.

[@MrOctoroc]

Hi, I Stuck in the low power"energy save mode"(03air unit). I have only wired GPS. I wont to use SpeedyBee to Power the o3 airunit only.(&Osd) There ist no menu point in my dji googles V2 menu to turn the energy save mode off.🤔 Can you pleas help me.

[@Painless360]

Having it connected to the flight controller and recieveing telemetry for the OSD, the Air unit will stay in low power mode until it sees the armed condition of the flight controller. If you can arm the FC, then it'll come out of low power.... Best of luck

[@MrOctoroc]

I'll try. Thx

[@MrOctoroc]

But i need a RC connected, to arm the FC?

[@Painless360]

Yes

[@jeffatkins8103]

When are these hitting the US?
