Hate the rain when I'm not working I live on the gulfside of Florida and rained the last 4 days and now I have to avoid the ponds in my yard when flying lol

[@BCRM007]

Heard I’m from st Pete,haven’t flown for like a month

[@kieren7763]

Yep were getting crazy rain here Australia aswell im facing around 4 days of no flying too it sucks

[@Wild_FPV]

Seems to fly very well in this configuration! 🤯It's a quad "formula" that I'd want to try out for myself. I think if T-Motor actually did release a 2s, 65mm propped version of this, more people would be interested. Entertaining video as always, very interesting 🙌

[@AnthraXaXis]

Great video Mr Burns, surprising how quiet that guy is! Looks like a blast after some mods! got my crux35 yesterday after a long 3 month wait... out of the box it flew so amazing, fairly quiet, super agile. definitely loving it! approx 15min fly time is craziness, had to bump my goggle standby time up because she started beeping at me mid flight and I noob panicked and she shut down haha, I was flying low in the backyard so a quick disarm and nothing got hurt 😅 cheers, have fun and stay safe everyone!

[@lemonsquareFPV]

The beeping goggles always get me! It actually happened again a couple of days ago after I updated my VRX firmware and forgot to do a low/high RSSI power calibration for the module. :p Constant sync problems. Kept beeping and my screen was going super dark, and I could barely see. It took me a minute to work through the panic and fix it :p Good luck on your journey man! One of the coolest and most entertaining things I have done, flight will never get old. I stagnate for a day every once in a while, but just push myself to do something new and it’s awesome again. All the best!

[@NickBurnsFPV]

Oh yea, when that battery beep comes on it usually lasts awhile, should give us time to come into land if we aren't way way out.

[@KOrnhOliO1]

That 15 minute flight time is a perfect indicator that you are using a much too large battery! I have the Crux35 also, and I fly it with a 450mah 4s, and it RIPS! So fast and agile. Remember, the heavier the lipo the lower the power to weight ratio! You want a very high power to weight ratio, so go for a significantly smaller lipo and change them out more often! You will get much more enjoyment out of flying it, because if you are getting 15 minute flights, you are FLYING A BARGE! lol Way, WAY too heavy! 😉👍

[@lemonsquareFPV]

@@KOrnhOliO1 or just slowly hovering around with those large props :p when I started flying I would get board my battery life was so long, now I eat the same pack in a minute or two :p But yeah. I agree wholeheartedly! Power to weight is king! Once it’s over 9:1 I’m in absolute heaven!

[@AnthraXaXis]

@@NickBurnsFPV @Emil Jekov ya I've never had my goggles beep, so I panicked haha! Cheers!

Pretty fantastic flying, Nick!!! 😃 That's a really brilliant idea! I hope T-Motor listens to you! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@kevinmahoney9205]

He can fly circles around most people, but yet in most videos he goes on about how bad a pilot he is... I wish I could fly at least half as good as he can.

[@jonowillmer]

It does amaze me how different things fly with only minor tweaks, obviously going to 2s from 1s is a big change in power, but the quad sure looks like fun. Being able to punch up like that, having the power to pull out of dives and change direction so easily is a huge benefit. Great suggestions Nick, hopefully we see a few more companies produce some 2s quads around that 2 inch size. I recently put together a 2 inch freestyle build and it is the most fun I've had with a quad. It is just the right size that I can push it a little in my yard without being worried, the bonus is it flies really well and I have loads of confidence in it.

[@genjitsu7448]

Hi Nick, you really make these little things look like the place to be! Your flight footage is proof that these things can rip! When I first got into the hobby a year and some change ago well I had no idea what is what, should I get a 5", do I need to build it? What brands are good, which ones should you stay away from... so I got in with a 4" quad - that I never built or flew - (for a kind of crummy reason...) I still have it and might just build it now that things for me have changed a bit. So then I learned a bunch more and after some research I bought 2 prebuilt quads - the Flywoo Firefly 80mm quad and the GEPRC Cinepro 4K - I liked these based on some reviews, I wanted the prop guards, and I had seen them perform the stunts and flights that I wanted to do. Have you ever flown either of these 2 quads? I would love to know how you would compare how those quads fly to say what your top 2 or 3 favorites would fly like. One recent quad that has my interest is that indestructible quad from Foxeer - the FoxWhoop 25 which I saw your review on. I might guess that the 2 quads I mentioned are not that different than the Foxeer. So I would love to hear your thoughts! Anyway, great video as always. Cheers!

[@lemonsquareFPV]

Interesting, I started at 4” too, I went up in size and built a bunch of bigger quads, and then I built a lot of smaller ones. I didn’t get really good until I started flying 75mm and 85mm prop protected quads every day on my property. Protected props let me push super hard and do crazy stuff, and just bounce off everything. Built up my confidence. This was huge!!! Now I fly only unprotected props, but still find the 75mm-120mm size my go to (especially on my property) very similar to Nick Burns. Best of luck.

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I have flown the firefly 80mm but there are two version, both I have flown. I don't believe I have flown the cinepro 4k. The firefly quads fly pretty well, the freestyle version is more aggressive capable. But neither really compare to the firefly nano baby 20 I recently reviewed or the rocket race 2s that is my favorite.

[@genjitsu7448]

@@lemonsquareFPV Sounds awesome. Live and learn, right! I will try to get all I can out of what I have - frikn money is not flowing like it once did... but how can I complain when I have 2 quads to fly!

[@SOLARFPV]

I have the Cinepro4k. It flies amazing and very stable for filming. I do not use it for acrobatics, allthough no doubt it can. But it has a small 16 by 16 stack, and to my knowledge it has pin connectors between the boards. Crashing can really screw those up. The frame is really good though. I like lighter qwads for that. Less kinetic energy in crashes = less fixing = more fun flying acro.

[@genjitsu7448]

@@SOLARFPV Thx for the reply. Good to know about the board and pins. That is an odd quad - the camera is also an interesting choice being that it has the 4K camera built in - the Caddx Tarsier or something like that but they don't seem to make it any more - or even SUPPORT it! That is super lame, they don't even point to the correct support software or give you any frickn clue as to what you are supposed to do instead... I know you can use it without this software but that is not the point... this hobby is hard enough with all the extra stuff we sometimes have to do like flashing receivers or FC's, or updating firmware, etc... But I do really love that quad - I only wish I could fly it! I really suck, I can fly LOS but when I put on goggles, man I just lose it! So frustrating but still fun and I really want to learn and get good at it.

[@MrMinaroo]

Great Work Nick, I agree 2s micro the the way to go... Uz85 and DarwinFPV tiny ape are my favorite Quads.... I hope we see more in the market soon...

[@jebrc]

I really like that style quad like the savage bee they just look nice imo. Thanks for sharing Nick i really appreciate you

[@kieren7763]

Your spot on i have the same setup pretty much but the props are about 3mm off the canopy so abit smaller and its abit more nimble mine does have a tendency to get low throttle jitters with those props though can't tune it out all the way either might look at your pids every set of props i try changes the quad completely so its good to have the options i like the black cheap looking king kong props the flexible ones there super fast and abit more forgiving as im around 40 grams dry weight and its kind of pushing the limits

[@amin0_acid310]

Have to agree about 2s. Fixed a Mob7 V2 with the 1102 9000KV motors (Busted the stem on the stock ones taking off props). The power when you hit the throttle. Looking at more of these 2-3 inch Toothpicks for what few days left outside (Rain season soon on the west coast in Canada soon enough). Owning a fair amount of Happy model micros/whoops it's nice to see other brands and builds. Been looking at this one since watching the previous video. For sure camera angle, some times you wanna shred, some times just go for a cruse. Still learning a lot each video, always look forward to new ones. Cheers! (Your grass looks so green, it's all brown and sun baked here)

[@PoodlehawkFPV]

I love 2s simply because it’s so convenient. They are generally fairly quiet quads and I don’t think it bothers as many folks. Thanks for showing us this.

[@KOrnhOliO1]

I totally agree...and you can fly them at any park and not bring out the KARENS! 5" are way, WAY overhyped!

[@PoodlehawkFPV]

@@KOrnhOliO1agreed, they don’t much care about the little ones. Plus, 2s is usually fairly light and takes some good hard abuse. I’ve been able to learn so much more with the little quads.

[@KOrnhOliO1]

@@PoodlehawkFPV YES! :) That's something rarely discussed but so true...Small lightweight quads are the best to learn on because they are so light, they don't do as much damage to themselves when they crash. I fly them a lot and hardly ever have to repair them. And, I fly in parks with grass. I don't see how guys like Botgrinder, who lives in the city of Philadelphia, and doesn't have access to really large parks to fly his 5", so he constantly is breaking stuff cuz he always flies over concrete and around buildings. I cringe when I see him fly because almost every time he leaves because all of his quads he brought are broken! DAMN! That's expensive!!! 😫💸💰💸🤑💸

[@PoodlehawkFPV]

@@KOrnhOliO1 Exactly! I don’t own a 5” quad yet. Precisely because they are expensive and I’m poor. The largest I’ve got is 4” and that’s good enough for now. I haven’t broken the TinyApe yet and it’s been flown hard, really hard.

[@KOrnhOliO1]

@@PoodlehawkFPV So surprised about that! Those Alibaba quads use cheap often discontinued parts which typically don't last worth a damn, but good to here it's durable! Maybe we actually have a new company making quads that are decent! ;)

Thank you Nick for another awesome vid, this 2s version is dope!!! I really hope tmotor listens to you. I would definitely get those if it was 2s. Thanks again!!

[@edgk490]

I can easily believe that 2s flies better, but it does not beat the 1s on the convenience aspect. Charging 1s lipos is much simpler and I even usually keep mine charged (as they are cheap) to be able to fly whenever I feel like it. :) Flying the Babytooth.

[@sixtofive]

Do you like it better than your rocket race? Also, would a low pitch, 3 inch prop would've worked, like the HQ Prop T3x1.8x3?

[@NickBurnsFPV]

No the rocket race 2s is still better, not really close. I wouldn't push a 3inch prop of any sort on a 1102 motor

[@oculicious]

Cool upgrades, but wasn't that drone designed specifically to be super silent? Not sure it's fair to call it an upgrade if you change the design pillar from silent to fast flying :b

[@NickBurnsFPV]

I do believe that was a primary listed feature. Also indoor. I likely would have given them a pass if it flew well/smooth in the previous configuration.

[@shaneintegra]

A bit off topic but is TBS Fusion a better option nowadays? I just recently got a used RapidFire and noticed it hasnt had any updates in a while while TBS Fusion still looks to be updating. Sorry if this is continously asked lol

[@NickBurnsFPV]

It might be a better value, hard to say if it performs better or not. I would be curious to see what the fusion updates are, if they are module/reception based or features like integration with crossfire receivers etc.

[@cccagley5276]

No separate frame for sale. I looked for it myself but never found one because I wanted to check out the frame (supposed to be light, hollow core). What does T-motor expect you to do when you break an arm?

[@adegtiarev]

Hi, Nick. Thanks for your reviews! You have tried many drones and can probably give me some advice on choosing a drone. I want a DJI compatible drone (vista), with propeller protection (whoop). But also want to use it for freestyle. What is the most suitable, sharp, fast, controllable? Pavo25, CIneLog25, FoxWhoop, ProtecR25, etc?

[@volkergoe]

If you plan on putting a naked GoPro or insta2go on it and still have decent power I would rather look into the 3.5" prop size. (and not fly it inside befor having a good feeling for it in your thumbs)

[@NickBurnsFPV]

In the category of prop protection/whoop, dji and not slow I suspect the one that fits all with reasonable to good durability is the foxwhoop. The cinelog25 flies a bit better but the prop protection breaks somewhat easily

[@adegtiarev]

@@volkergoe Thank you for your answer. I don't plan to use gopro. I wanna crazy freestyle in limited places. I think GepRC phantom HD is the best, but it is not safety if people will be near.

Making the carbon more compact like you said. Great qwad there. They could make that one lighter, for 1s, by shortening the arms, and a 2s version, with thicker frame, but also shorter arms. Then they have 2 products all of a sudden... booom

Sorry Nick, it's just hard for me to watch analog when it's such super soft, mushy image, with un-sharp fuzziness, and flickering, snow, color shifts, etc, etc, etc. That camera is awful! UGH! There's got to be another camera that isn't so terrible! If I was still into flying analog, I wouldn't buy this quad just because the camera is so awful. It's all about how fun to fly the quad is, but it has to be tolerable in the goggles, and this one IMO isn't. I'd put a better camera in it if I were T-Motor. This is a superb little RIPPER, especially if T-Motor adds a better camera. I don't care if they have to raise the price $10 and it weighs another 2 - 3 grams - that camera SUCKS, and if it wasn't replaced with a better one, I'd not buy this quad. Hope this helps.
