Exposing the TRUTH!! $248 Worlds Biggest FPV Drone

[@jumpstartfpv]

The fact that they mention the maximum flight time of 45 minutes and a payload capacity of 4kg on what they call "Racing drone" clearly indicates that this was meant for something else.

[@marckart66]

Is that something else dropping "aid" for people in areas they shouldn't be in?

[@reyalPRON]

they are meant to take a "fourpack" of 16s, plus payload of ca 2kg including release mechanism or "deployment equipment" like a VOG.

[@ghostlt9763]

45min probably with 6s lithium packs with 12 or more cells but not with 3000mah lipo

[@maddercat]

This configuration and motors is for 1 way bombing trip 100%. lol

[@reyalPRON]

my thought exactly, blacked out motors that are matted.. cmon... we know what market the manufacturer is aiming this towards, dont we?

[@Halphbaked210]

Agreed.... seems a major trend in the market😅😢

[@warmfreeze]

the out of box tuning on this drone was complete trash.. they come with a very basic AM32 firmware tune that is more for a 3" drone. after fixing the ESC and loading a basic 5" freestyle PID tune i was getting around 20 minutes on a 3300mah 6s and the odd vibrations went away.. i assume the vibrations are literally caused by the really bad tune making the motors surge constantly.

[@vaphualfpv]

I believe ardupilot firmware would be better suited for these sizes and there are presets and autotune features. I am also building one right now mainly for long range cruising with hd camera. I will be glad if you can link some videos or url for getting these sizes to fly better. Or even your tuning process. Thank you.

[@warmfreeze]

@@vaphualfpv i suck at video editing and frankly i work on REAL aircraft and generally dont have time.. when i have time i am usually flying..

[@0b3rz0nK]

That hard voltage drop right away that does not want to come back up even when just sort of floating is a dead giveaway for a vibration issue. And then the squealing sound they mention. It just feels different flying a quad with that kind of issies. I burned 2 motors like that.

[@belliduradespicio8009]

My brother in Christ, that thing is not meant for racing...

Like they don't make enough selling these in military contracts. Even the OSD shows crosshairs. Most pilots turn them off for freestyle.

[@LouisLeXVIII]

Oh I like my crosshair...

[@SpacemanFPV1]

i use the crosshair but i agree with your point i use it for lining up gaps of POI, not tanks and bunkers

[@Jakefrc]

I have basically that same drone, I run Inav on it and it flies smooth as butter. I also run a 6s 7000mah pack and get 20+ min flight times. My first "long range" test was 2.8km. I can happily cruise around about 100kmh gps speed. I think your battery is too small and your tune is no good for that size quad.

[@johncarold]

Hey Stew, Welcome to Beast class quads. I have only flown one, and I love flying it. You are going to need a lion pack to get the most time for flying, but you won't be able to fly aggressive, they are not meant to be flown like that. I just built a 6s 4500ma lion pack for my 7in lon̈g-range qùad and I get 20 minutes. These just are not a freestyle quads. Long-range is flying slow and steady. I can't wait to build a 10in LR qùad. Thanks for the video and HARRY FLYING.

[@runpuppyfpv5744]

I strongly believe it's just the tune and setup on that thing there. Is no way it can fly that bad or slow

[@RFXReign]

This is ment to go over to a unknow location east of another unknown location cause it’s a consumer product and can be shipped easily and it’s cheap. Then be heavily modified with a 4kg payload. 😂

[@parker1ray]

XT90 connectors are very common in the RC vehicle circles. I have six or eight cars and trucks that all have that connector!

[@maddercat]

900kv is probably too high for this size, I'm using 650kv on my 10 inch and get great flight times. Also 3 bladed props aren't good need 2 bladed for long range. This configuration and motor kv indicates meant for delivering a payload.

[@mihavuk]

Agree 99 %. 99 because we don't know for sure why they put so high kv motors on this thing. But your theory makes sense.

Do you think using a LiOn battery will give you more flight time when just doing Long Range?

[@ianwalton284]

I just love the sound of 10 inch. Like a Starwars Tie-fighter.

[@BryonGaskin]

I went the cheap route and a did a DIY build with parts all off Aliexpress............tuning was a pain, the default INAV pids were all way to high, it bounced, gittered all over the place. Tried EZ tune, nope. When started with P at 10, I, at 0, and D at 0.......and just started doing test flights till it was stable. Frame was tight, motors tight, new and balanced Genfam props, vtx tight, brand new camera secured and all motor wires secured.

[@UAVfutures]

this thing was sucking about 1000mah a MINUTE... How long should a long range fly for?

[@Eddastuff]

wow i get 16 min out of my 4 inch on 3s 3000MAH LIo

[@chrisbee5481]

Definitely too much. Something is probably wrong in the tune. Although my 10 inch isn't efficient too, it's not that power hungry. I get about 14 minute flight with a 6s 6000mah LiIon. 3215 motor. Personally my 8 inch Flys much better. I see no sense in 10 inch. With the same 1.2kg battery my 8 inch Flys longer.

[@maddercat]

I get 30 minutes or so on 8s on about 3000mah. 650kv motors, 2 blade props, my build barely sips any power at all.

[@chrisbee5481]

​@@maddercatwhat motor seize and kv do you use ? Props?

[@Rckid28]

I think they ment 4-5min

[@Guilefpv]

The stack alone is over $100. get the 8" version for $218 and strip it off for its stack, camera, vtx and motors

[@danddiversified8477]

You're a LEGEND! Thank you for gettting me into the hobby

[@MatthewDannevik]

maybe its tuned for 4kg load?

[@delugemetric6934]

That's a lot of extra battery capacity! 😉

[@mihavuk]

Thanks Stu. 👍🙂 This quad definitely has motors with waaay to high kV.

[@alexmoritz-x5t]

Great video! I am looking to start in the FPV hobby, and I would love some help finding what to buy.

[@cyclops-fpv]

Motors need changing to lower kv (650/700 or so)and lower stator height,bi blade's and deffo a pid tune,you can make a silk purse out of a pigs ear..I know cause ive done it many times.👍

[@robertnastasi4738]

There has to be a tuning issue. Something is not correct. You should call the manufacturer and check things. Does not add up.

[@michaelwhouse46]

I love Steve’s shirt!

[@ChainsawFPV]

Reminds me of a line from a song, Suck on my big 10 inch. LMAO. And its made by the company that makes my soldering iron. Def designed for a "short" flight. Especially at that price. Take that quad and put a good tune and good rates on it, and see how it does then

[@bennieleip579]

Im curious if you tune it with good connectors and wires also I’m curious if it’s different 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@spdroll]

We are using such a drones with 8000-13000mAh Li-Ion battaries. It really fly far and long. Not sure about 45min, but 25-30min is real. And as I see your instance have bad tuned pids. It can do better.

[@MassterYewsefth]

You can make any big quad fly like a 5 in just use less expo than you usually use until it fly's like a 5 inch and put a stock betaflight tune!

[@Kcstuntn]

too much to say here Stu....first tighten EVERYTHING obviously, tune the shit outta it that's the main problem it doesn't like those props, change the props, give it a chance it might get better def not 45 min lol

[@noisy_boi_fpv_3920]

Mmmm not really the largest there's a few sizes past a little 10" man

[@NorgeSquad]

I hope they put out a tune for this. for just cruising. instead of what its made for

[@andrikurniawan531]

so how much c4 it can carry?

[@zDechno]

4kg of it LOL

[@materia79]

Why you did not enable amp draw in osd? :( maybe you need to fly 6S2P with two 3.3Ah ;) Edit: I use the OVONIC more for cruising and mid range, for that they are a good choice but for powerful freestyle I would use LiPo's with a higher C rating than 70C.

[@cinemoriahFPV]

Cheap, no GPS.... One way long range....

[@legorj35]

he never heard of X Class

[@DigitalCruzer]

Do the new large props like those need balanced? Looks like they do... We always had to balance the large 8-15" props back in the old flamewheel days. But I have seen videos of the long range guys comparing a 7-inch with a 10-inch and a 10-in just doesn't get tossed around by up drafts in the mountains like a 7inch does... Sounds like that's a budget quad and budget quads always need lots of TLC to get them to fly good... But honestly that frames arms just look too long and skinny and probably needs some bracing motor to motor.

[@nathanminten]

A better ESC and motors will make those stated numbers realistic

[@VinydFPV]

Sounds like the tune is bad or something?? Normally these quads purr around the air this one got some issues to say the least...

[@sUASNews]

Go on tune it Stew load Arducopter if you can and make it fly properly

[@leflamantrosefpv1725]

is not tuned to do fpv race or freestyle, is a war drone, and you have to put the payload to fly it you dont think?

[@ErrythingPhroze]

Done making KZbin Reddit responses about me now? 😂

[@SirCrypt666]

First, it need right PID tune for particular weight. Maybe it worth to reduce D gains. It may dramatically reduce useless motors overheating and overconsumption. Inspect the assembly. Slap on two of 6s2p li-ions in parallel, one ontop, one on bottom (with y-cable). PID-tune for weight. Go cruise mountains. Pee on putin.

[@bleeksbentbits3150]

I wont run less than 8mm thicc arms on my 7inchers, no wonder its flight was wobbly as hell with only 7mm thin arms on a 10incher... Might be worth stripping for parts as there seems to be no spare arms available if someone wanted to double them up with some E6000 between. Would be better off transferring the guts into a Five33 Spec7 with doubled-up 'Long-Arm' kit & ditch the race weights- should come in around the 1kg mark without Gopro! ;)

[@pastubbs]

You're never going to get 45 min of flight time with that motor and prop combo. I have an old iFlight DC10 running 900kv motors with bi-blade props and 4s2p LI-ion packs(5000-1000mah). It's not a speed demon but with that setup and cruising around I get long flight times. Also the tune on this looks horrid as if it was built for some other specific purpose.

[@smooth_ops2942]

Most of the issues are all filter and tune problems.....Why was a tune or anything not done? Stew!! Me and you have been in the hobby since 2016, i could get that flying pretty good in 3-4 packs, do you know how to tune? A bad tune is making it fight itself and give hot motors sluggish performance with horrible efficency....everything you experienced. For the price, you have to do some of the process of software building/tuning that your not being charged for. Dont let your channel turn into a dronecamps type channel please 🙏.

[@dogswhistlesharam9029]

I’d run a 6000 mah + battery with that prop size, but even so the claimed flight time is a big over exaggeration. Might get closer to that figure using a much higher capacity Li ion battery? 🤔 Not something I’d want to own…motors getting hot is wasted battery energy

[@smooth_ops2942]

This has one mission, to fly out kilometers and locate anybody, and not come back!!! So who cares if it flys like 💩.

[@allanfolkes8723]

[@chrisbee5481]

A long range pilot would never by this, because it's not a DC frame. That would be a must have to film. We know all these cheap 10 inch stuff is released for high sales and to carry evil shit.

[@danjennings5068]

If the motors are so hot then there's something wrong. I doubt a better tune would take the flight time from 3 min to 45 but it's wasting a ton of energy fluttering the motors. Sounds like they tuned for a lot of weight and without that weight to dampen movement the tune is way too sensitive. Maybe the payload is a crapton of batteries to be able to get that 45min... Hell, milk this for some more content "Fixing the worst FPV drone on the market!"
