SpeedyBee Mario 5 build and flight footage

[@ugpfpv361]

Nice, I'll have to get one. I still can't bring myself to hand launch, I've been bitten by a 5" one time and still brings back bad memories, I rather deal with bringing a landing/takeoff pad

[@WhirlyBloke]

I've been hand launching for years. I comes from flying in too many inhospitable uneven places.

Hello. I am just about to finish almost the same build with moonlight walksnail. Only difference are the motors xing 2207 1800 kv. I am glad that i picked almost the same parts as you and you have also the pid setup here :-) my only question is whether you flashed your esc to bluejay or kept as blheli? Thank you for nice video :-)

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks for the nice comment. I've been using bluejay on all my builds recently. Now blheli has gone, I think it's the right way to go until AM32 is more widely tested on more boards.

[@pebady83]

@@WhirlyBloke perfect! Thanks for your reply. As you mentioned you use your drone mosty for cruising. Is it possible to acro with theese settings? Probably different props will have affect on the Tune aswell. Im quite new in fpv. Flying since march this year with 3,5" and when I saw my friend with 5" I ordered the parts next day :-D

[@WhirlyBloke]

@@pebady83 That tune is fine for acro. In fact really good.

[@pebady83]

@@WhirlyBloke i just tried the drone today. It flies realy smooth. The pids are top ;-)

[@WhirlyBloke]

@@pebady83 Enjoy it

[@bulufish8208]

Nice build 👌. I have a couple more months of trial and error to learn how to build like that. 👍

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks matey! Just take it slow and easy, plan everything out, measure twice and cut once. Use a good quality soldering iron and loads of flux. Clean everything up with IPA and you'll be building like a champ in no time. I've done a couple of very detailed 'how to' builds previously, but the feedback is, they're too long and quite boring.

[@damaca_fpv]

Hi man. Awesome channel. I build this quad and I am having nose dips 😢 I can’t get rid off it happen when chop the throttle after a punch. Would you mind sharing your pid tuning?

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks for the kind words. There's a link to my BF diff on the video description.

[@damaca_fpv]

@@WhirlyBloke wow! Thanks mate. I don’t know how a missed that. I love your channel even more now. Will try does pid and let you know how it went

[@WhirlyBloke]

@@damaca_fpv Before you disappear down a tuning rabbit hole, try bumping your throttle idle up a bit. Throttle chop bobbles (throbbles) were a big problem on my early INAV cinelifter builds and that sorted it. I think it's cos they are quite heavy and react fast to throttle chops. Let me know how it goes.

[@damaca_fpv]

@@WhirlyBloke 😅 I am at the bottom of the hole right now. I was able to pid tuning for a regular flight, but “hard” movements like dives and flying backwards are imposible. The nose is all over the place trying to catch up the set point I guess…will try the idle.

[@damaca_fpv]

@@WhirlyBloke I would like to share a screenshot with you. I don’t know if it is normal, but after a punch, at zero throttle the pitch Iterm goes flat suddenly on Blackbox Explorer, and gyro star to lag a lot behind set point, at the same time feed forward seam to do nothing on that instant

[@ajayrana5674]

which props sir?

[@WhirlyBloke]

Ethix S3 Watermelon 5031

[@ajayrana5674]

Sir i have built a quad with exactly the same frame .. please can you give me some guidance for the budget fpv system

[@Binkoro]

Beautiful! How did you mount the receiver? Did you glue it down so it doesn’t move?

[@WhirlyBloke]

It's just fits between the bottom plates. No need to fix it on place cos it's not going anywhere.

[@Binkoro]

@@WhirlyBloke Thank you! Love your videos! Most straightforward and helpful videos!

[@Binkoro]

@@WhirlyBloke Thank you again. I'm sorry, I do have one more question if you don't mind. Since I want to install a GPS, it looks like I will have to install the FC/ESC stack backwards in order to have the XT60 come through the front. However, I don't want to do that, since it will mess up the length of all the other cables from the connectors on my F7 V3 stack. If I mount the FC/ESC stack facing forward, is there enough room between the stack to pull a long XT60 pigtail through to the front?

[@WhirlyBloke]

@Binkoro It depends on the diameter of the noise suppression capacitor you use. There's not a huge amount of room between the vertical plates, but I'm sure you can make it fit. Personally, I'd keep the stack the correct way around and use longer GPS wires etc. I'm not a fan of long battery leads. They are harder to route, and there's more cable length to radiate all that nasty high energy noise.

[@Binkoro]

@@WhirlyBloke thank you again. I will try not to use the long xt60 connector even if I have to extend cables to the GPS, receiver, VTX, and camera. I wish the GPS mount also had a place for the XT60.

[@LoneStarUAV]

Which stack did you use?

[@WhirlyBloke]

I used the SpeedyBee F405 V4:bit.ly/46kTtFK

[@Binkoro]

Thank you for answering all my questions. I finally built it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5_Qd42ghNSbbc0

[@WhirlyBloke]

Nice work. Enjoy it.

[@TobiasjakobsenFPV]

Very well explained video. I'm planning to build my own very soon :) What sazi capacitor are you using? I've seen people having trouble with the size that comes in the box.

[@iHayri1]

To answer your question, as I am looking into buying the same frame, a 1000uF capacitor does fit which is about 10x20mm but some stacks are shipped with 1500uF which are too thick and do not fit into the cavity.

[@betaodrone]

bro, did you do anything to make the DJI o3 look like this, with its stabilization so good?

[@WhirlyBloke]

GyroFlow is used for stabilisation on this.

[@betaodrone]

@@WhirlyBloke Thank you my brother big show hugs your information is very important to help agent

[@betaodrone]

great friend, I'm building one after I saw your video

[@lynsmith1096]

Good video and the quad is looking good.

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks. As always, great feedback.

[@russ3001]

This video has been useful I'm currently building one of these as a fist build, what mm is the black cable mesh on the arms?

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks for the feedback. It's 6mm nylon braid that expands to about 10mm.

[@jimicupras]

Hey man! Great build and video.. I would like to ask you, how did you go about mounting the vifly finder buzzer. Did you use a 3D printed part or some kind of glue to keep it in place? Thanks.

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks for the kind words. I just stuck it to the frame with VHB tape. It's what I always use. It's simple, cheap and quick, and it's not coming off in a hurry.

[@LilwickedFpv]

It’s beautiful luv it keep up the great job 😎👌🏽

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks. I agree, it's very peachy.

[@csdriggs]

What was all up weight minus battery ofcourse.

[@WhirlyBloke]

All the details are in the description. Thanks for watching.

[@Sonic_Ox]

Thanks for another brilliant video Whirly Bloke. That is a wonderfully clean looking build. My ViFly "bluzzer" saved my arse recently. Love it. Happy flying amigo. Cheers 🍻

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks for the kind words and feedback. I use the ViFly buzzers on all my builds.

[@Sonic_Ox]

I do too. I think they're top shelf. Couple weeks ago my 7" went down about a mile from home in about a square mile of grassy field. My GPS and OSD record failed and a three hour foot search by two people and a dog turned up nothing. I finally found the quad after dark thanks to the LED strobe beacon on the ViFly Finder 2. Now all my builds present and future will sport one.

[@crashmode3401]

What batteries and flight times are you able to get?

[@WhirlyBloke]

As always it depends how you fly. I use GNB 1250 6S and easily get 5 minutes cruising. 3-4 mins acro.

[@Sir_Hubris]

love the muic 2 ¶ ; - )

[@WhirlyBloke]

Thanks. I thought it was very appropriate.

[@hi_desert_rat]

Had a chance to throw her on BBE?

[@WhirlyBloke]

Not yet. I tend to only go down that route when I can't get a quick tune by feel. Low resonance frames like this one and the AOS frames are so easy to tune cos they behave themselves. I will get some data when I have time.

[@NaorFPV]

the flight video with rocksteady ?

[@WhirlyBloke]

Nope. I prefer GyroFlow cos I've got more control over the behaviour. But it's all personal taste. Thanks for watching.

[@NaorFPV]

thank you , just wondered how it is without stabilization@@WhirlyBloke

[@Benthedroneguy]

Is this the deadcat frame or HX?

[@WhirlyBloke]

It's the dead cat frame.

[@Benthedroneguy]

@@WhirlyBloke thank you
