GEPRC Mark4 LR8 8" Second Smooth Flight

Flashed BF 4.5.1 and made a few tweaks. This flight was like BUTTER compared to the maiden. It was probably just me on the sticks the whole time, but whatever at least it is flying exactly how I want now. Any jank is lack of talent, me testing what happens when I goose the throttle, or when I lose video signal I goose it to get LOS back to my ground station antennas. It feels so damn good cruising around, I can really feel the weight. Stable!
I think I fixed the stupid Link Quality problem after this flight. Now it's time to design and print a GoPro mount so I can get some high quality video. Enough of this analog DVR crap!

Let me know how you like the factory tune. I just went up today in 20 mph winds with my Caddx Walnut for the first time and it was wobbly AF. I have some analysis and tuning I need to do now.

Nice mate thinking of buying one now

I noticed there weren't any videos for it when I was shopping. The price is incredible. I got the 2.5W VTX version and had them add GPS. They will install it in a TPU mount for free if you ask them.

@ yeah I’ve just been looking for some videos and only found a couple decent ones but I like your video because u actually show the drone flying so thanks

@@Benny24351 No problem! I will have stabilized "GoPro" footage soon once I print a custom mount for it. But I guess it's valuable to have some nostab analog footage to compare. While I was flying and watching live it felt ultra smooth. It's only when I look back at the footage I see where I could have been way smoother with more stick time. I only have 12 minutes of flight time on it and I've never flown a drone this big before. My heaviest drone before this is under 200 grams, lol. Just FYI in the first 15 seconds I am in angle mode and the landing is in angle mode too, and it feels just as bad as it looks. I'm going to stop doing that, I'm not afraid of it anymore haha

@@mjodr yes thanks man and cant wait for the footage

@@Benny24351 Somehow knocked out 90% of the design in just a few hours today. I'm going to add some speed holes to it, print it in ASA fast, then if I like it switch my machine over to TPU. There's obviously not a lot of premade designs for this frame out there. Let's see if YT allows me to link to my FB: facebook.com/share/p/14Q1j9Nqyg/
