That soldering iron sure is the cheapest one around. It would probably be wise to upgrade 😅

All electronics (except the lift fan) were salvaged from a RC toy helicopter: Main motors, RX, TX, battery etc. I'm working on a follow up video explaining these hovercraft in more detail but it's really not that complicated. I think you can figure it out :)

I definitely recommend building something like this! It was a lot of fun :) It seems like people want a tutorial of some kind. I've already started working on a video where I refine the design and show a more detailed build.

@@ViggenProductions is there any chance i could get those stls from you? iv tried to find some like yours but no one has made such a thing.

I just want a good weekend project

@@pov_fusion I would gladly share them but since this was 2 years ago I lost the files. You could try building one out of cardboard in the meantime? It was honestly just as good or even better than the final 3D-printed one :)

Thank you so much! :)

sponsor me zoey

This was made in Fusion360 which I don't have access to anymore so I can't make any changes. But I'll see if I still got the STL somewhere :)

I've been searching through my old computer but sadly I can't find any .STL files left on there. All of my original project files disappeared when my Fusion360 licence expired. I have already started working on the next video where I'll improve the design and show you how to build one of these on your own. In the meantime you could try building one out of cardboard? The cardboard prototype was honestly just as good or even better than the final 3D-printed one (:

@@ViggenProductions OK, thanks. I Will be waiting for the Next video

Wow, thanks for the kind words!

Nice! If I'm being honest the drifting cardboard in the beginning almost performed better than the later variants with the lift fan. Weight seems to be a big factor and so the lift fan might be a bit useless. But it looks cool (:

Although I have nothing to compare them to, I think the are great :)

Okay this was an awesome video! I loved the storytelling and for a first timer you did really well! I hope you stick with it and maybe get a tinywhoop or small 3 inch drone. I recommend Liftoff as a good fpv simulator! Thank you for crediting me and I hope you keep it up!

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! I'm really temped to get some sort of tinywhoop to fly around the house. This was great fun!

@@ViggenProductions the new micro drones they are coming out with are surprisingly capable indoors and outdoors

The camera transmitts the video signal on a specific frequency (unless you change it through a tiny button on the back of it). As long as the Googles are tuned to the same frequency they will see what the cameras see. The Googled remeber what frequency they were tuned to last time so yes, as long as you doesent change anything they find each other once power is applied. To bind them you can either manually switch through all the frequencies until you reach the right one or use the auto search function.

dude im subbed to you and viggen

I've tried to find the drone on Google but it just doesn't show up. "Silverlit Sky Drone" is what it says on the box if you want to try it yourself. It might be quite difficult to find this exact drone. If you'd like to try this I'd recommend looking for a drone with a "unlocked" or "manual" throttle for the best experience. Meaning it should not spring back to the center if you let go. I hope you find drone that works for you :)

Well I believe every drone has its purpose. A phantom is lightyears ahead as an AP drone, but this one is way more fun to fly ;)

Haha scetchy känns det absolut, det måste jag hålla med dig om. Jag har beställt två olika ordrar med flera månader emellan. Båda har kommit fram i bra skick och ingen har länsat mitt bankkort än 💀 Så även om det känns scetchy så har det funkat för mig. Tyvärr kommer jag inte ihåg exakt vad det tog att få hem grejerna. Räkna med runt en månad kanske? Men frakt från Kina kan vara väldigt opålitligt så det kan både gå snabbare och långsammare... Jag tror banggod har någon estimated shipping date när man väljer frakt. Den borde vara ganska korrekt. Satt TLDR sakerna lär komma fram men lite oklart när. Lycka till med vad du nu ska bygga :)

@@ViggenProductions Tack för svaret! Det blir förhoppningsvis en fin DIY fixed-wing drönare med fpv :)

This made my day! Thank you so much for the kind words!

I'm sorry for the clickbait, I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching :)

THere are still AIO cameras that sold for around $15 exist. I found this AKK BA2 200mW FPV sold on Aliexpress for $14.90

I did not mean to misslead anyone. I should have clarified the cost someware but I forgot :/ As for the cost: The fpv camera/vtx combo was sold on Banggood for 160 Swedish Crowns, equivalent of just over 15 USD. That might have been some sort of sale but I don't remember exactly. The drone is a 10 year old children's toy I had laying around. Therefore I counted it as free for this build. I'm fullt aware that 15USD might be on the low end for a build like this but after all this video is about my specific build, which ended up costing an equivalent of 15USD. I'll pin a comment about the cost.

If you're interested in building something like this I'd recommend searching around Banggood, Aliexpress and such chinese sites. I don't know what the prices will be in your country but try searching for "fpv aio camera" or something like that. I found a lot of alternatives as low as 20$, but if you have some patience you might be able to buy one for an even lower price. Best of luck :)

Thank you so much!! I do my best :)

Aw that's awesome :) I hope you liked it!

It would be easier but it wouldn't be as fun ;)

@@ViggenProductions trust me i once added a wifi camera to a drone with no altitude hold, and because of the delay of the camera it wasnt fun at all, but with a $35 altitude hold drone i even recordered decent quality fpv videos you can check out, and i even flew inside my house and that was also recordered

Yep I didn't think about that at all 💀

Thanks for watching! I've gotten ideas to fpv mod just about anything after this, planes, cars, boats you name it 😅 I'd love to watch that video :)

Thanks for the warning. I didn't think about that at all 💀 Sadly I don't have a real fpv drone yet. I think a small tinywhoop-ish would be awesome to fly around the house. Thanks for the recommendation and good luck trying this! :)

Sadly shipping would be rather expensive and inconvenient... Try find one of these small FPV AIO cameras on Banggood or aliexpress. Then you can make anything you want FPV :)

Thanks!

Thank you! Thats great to hear! I checked out your channel too. You have a lot of fun stuff over there :)

Thank you so much! Such kind words :) I hope you enjoyed it!
