Ajuda o meu canal com esse racer top ?

[@rasheedgregory3459]

I've been doin research on buildin my own but it seems you dang near have to be a tech genius to do so. I'm very good with building things at a small level so is it as complicated as it seems?

[@Mde7FPV]

I got one of those and I gotta have to say, that's one of the best flying quads I've ever had. Totally in love with that thing

[@soflyfpv]

Was one of the first people who picked one of these up I’m pretty sure and let me tell you probably my favorite little micro 3 inch yet

[@SzilardAndras]

Andy, you always make great reviews. Not only that you also find the coolest tracks for them. Thank you.

[@tribefpv]

Impressive power 👊 impressive flight time 😃 you can hear its tuned sweet . I really like how you show line of sight . I never get sick of a good puch out . Thanks

[@AndyRCchannel]

yes not many people do it but I love flying line of sight and it also shows how the model sounds and looks, so its a win win for me. theres no hiding a bad tune when you can hear what the motors are doing so i like to expose that

[@sixtofive]

Nice looking collaboration, and some solid performance and flight time.

[@rcpete7055]

Best review of the TWIG XL 👍 Very Comprehensive as always..

[@MCsCreations]

Really amazing flying, Andy!!! 😃 Yeah, the quad seems fantastic! Flies very well and looks beautiful! 😃 Great review!!! Stay safe there! 🖖😊

[@echobeefpv8530]

Looks really good Andy, and nice to see the sun, even for a bit !!As for BetaFPV, I vowed never to buy another product from them as I got 3 duds in a row. That was more than a year ago, and could be I was too hasty. This model has all I'm looking for in a really small branch. Stay safe, stay healthy, and cheers from Canada !!

[@josephbove7477]

Beautiful air ballet! The attention to detail on this quad is excellent and the flight characteristics, including the time is near perfect. Definitely a must have for me. Cheers and stay safe.

[@AndyRCchannel]

Cheers Joseph.

[@josephbove7477]

@@AndyRCchannel Thank you Andy. Thoroughly enjoy your channel. You Sir are an incredible person, a great pilot, fantastic reviewer and make good music. Thank you for all your hard work. Cheers mate.

[@EnglishTurbines]

Looks well thought out and assembly looks good quality .. For me, the 3 inch quad is the perfect solution to under 250g rules...Impressed by video reception too...shame you didn't push the range, the XM Plus is good for miles..🤔🤔😳😷😷

[@TheBitmess]

Finally a company is building quality. The components and build quality are equal to what I build myself. Most prebuilt quads are deficient in at least one way. Whether it has a poor camera or junk vtx or crap receiver , or junk vtx antenna but this one uses premium components. The Ratel camera is incredible. Mine came with an xm+ receiver. I do get some video breakup on full throttle punches. Could it be voltage sag? Also, I wish they (Betafpv) mentioned it was configured props out. I found out the hard way. I was going to build a twig but I can't even get the parts as cheap. Oh and all the antennas are actually mounted correctly. It's incredible!

[@archer4922]

Betafpv definitely makes some good ones. 👍 about to upgrade my HX100 to the hx115 frame and the betafpv 1204 motors and put FalcoX on it. Can’t wait till the parts arrive.

[@icecorebaby]

I love mine! Fantastic little racer!

[@whileistillcan9338]

Great music on that one Andy!

[@jtg_rc1583]

I love how you always put a LOS video 😁

[@southwestkittyit]

Fantastic little rig. Looks great too ✌️❤️🤘

[@benmitchell853]

Love this tune Andy...

[@evilc2048]

FYI, I bought a frame kit for this from BetaFPV and got a different canopy. I was gonna use it with a build, but it's insanely heavy! The frame is 22g and the canopy is 7.5g! So if the production version is anything like this, you can easily save ~15g of weight, which is quite a considerable margin. I used a DroneJunkie Sensi (7.3g) frame and a self-designed canopy (6g) instead I dunno if I got exactly the same FC, but the BetaFPV Toothpick AIO has both inverted and uninverted TX1, so you can directly connect an R-XSR without having to use the P pad on the board, you can just use the wires coming out of the plug Also, really love the BetaFPV canopy mounting holes - I absolutely hate mounting canopies to the top of the FC stack, as in a crash, the force tends to bend stack mounting bolts, so frames like this (And the DJ Sensi) which have BetaFPV style outer mounting holes are a big improvement IMHO

[@evilc2048]

My comment above about the R-XSR was referring to using it in FPORT mode obviously...

[@kevindodson7886]

Like the Twig,,as always, Love your Music, aka your talent!

[@eliard7]

This are incredible fpv drone!

[@gmivisualsjason3729]

Nice flight

[@RocketDog73]

It’s a fantastic flier. Just move the antenna placement from the camera housing as they are held in with metal nuts. Hate to think what would happen if they fell off onto the FC when powered up.

[@buddahblack5581]

Great Review, I dig the flight footage too .

[@IanBeaty]

Great review and fantastic music!

[@OVERKILLFPV]

I would love to see a your settup just got mine today. Dam thing wont arm. Great video

[@kkam7044]

Hi Andy, thanks for all your work brining us great info all the time, a long time subscriber here. There are so many nice 3 inch models out there and I saw your recent top 10 fastest quad video which featured a couple of Diatones from a while back. Which model would you recommend to someone who is getting back into the hobby after a few years off?

[@JohnMark61355]

Thanks for the video. It’s nice to watch a good review of a quad I already own. I really like mine. When you say “freestyle” and “racing” rates, what do you mean-what changes did you make? Thank you.

[@baccarah7010]

This one looks like a winner to me.

[@tardy1663]

Could you fly it with a 3s 450mah

[@stevesmcfpv2614]

Hey bro, good morning. Gota try the Gemfan 3028' winddancers on it! Love mine! You probably need lower pid's then. But it fly's like on rails. Peace bro. Stay safe😷✌

[@JMX246]

great review video - how do you get access to the receiver to enter bind mode ?

[@RCinginSC]

Solid little bird. Nice reiew ! 😎👍

[@jacobhughes1575]

Andy! You didn't say "in the below" you said "in the description". That's like a trademark for you.

[@steviefpv]

Andy you say the vtx antenna is direct soldered on but mine It’s U.fl so that seems strange ?

[@JT-jy2sy]

Your lucky you can go to a park to fly. Not in Australia you get a massive fine. Do you think 1204 motor is a better fit? I thinking of doing a diy with this frame with the tpu canopy. I have done a lot of 5 builds not micro one. 5 build you can have more weight tolerance because of the total weight. For a 3 inch like hx115 it is 70g, 7g is a lot. Appriciate your input thanks Andy!

[@Euwanh85]

Hey, Would you happen to have pids for 4s. When I fly it on 3s the motors sound silky smooth. However on 4s it soinds a bit choppy

[@steviefpv]

Hi Andy just a quick one is your twig still working ? On my 5th go with it plugged a pack in and boom bloody FC set on fire ! I don’t think the 12a board is right for 14XX motors seem a inferior product to me.

[@DavidLuchetti]

hello! i just got this quad ... i can't figure out how to put it into bind mode so that it will bind to my BetaFPV Lite Radio 2 ... any clues or suggestions?

[@fpvclub7256]

Great review.

[@valden]

Hey Andy, do you think this could handle a pitchier prop like the 3x2.5x3 or 3x3x3? Thanks!

[@francescot.7320]

Hi, i am newbie, which is better between this and an Eachine Tyro79? Is there much difference between them? Thanks

[@hanfpv3093]

Hello Andy! Could you confim something for me? I bought a Twig XL frame from a EU store.. And when i measure the motor to motor distance (diagonaly from shaft to shaft) its 160mm.. Did they accidently send me a 4inch mutant instead of the twig xl? What is the diagonaal measurement of your model? Anyway great review as always brother🙏

[@donaldfoster5998]

Wouldn't props out really help reduce the disturbance created by the struts?

[@AndyRCchannel]

In what way?

[@donaldfoster5998]

@@AndyRCchannel If struts do indeed disrupt the frame by sending the energy generated from the props past them? Then avoiding the struts by running props out should alleviate this effect on a quad that does not have struts on the sides where props out directs the energy?

[@huckaberryfpv4986]

foster thrust still is directed downwards

I like the look of this one but it's a bit on the heavy side and I'm not a fan of the cross struts. I'm too worried about getting stuck in trees and the cross struts just look like they are going to guarantee you get hung up.

[@AndyRCchannel]

i dont think iv crashed any kind of micro in a tree and its fell nicely to the ground haha. But yes not gonna help things

@@colinjames4230 yeah neither was I, bnf, props, batteries very expensive. Does your board still power up, and no audio beeps or esc works. Apart from that the fc seems fine. I just posted a video of me racing it with the 20a in it, check it out :)

See my comment above - self-build your own using a lighter frame and canopy - even better performance. Keep the same motors and props tho. DO NOT use higher pitched props (eg HQ 3x3x3) as they draw too many amps!
