Just a quick buzz around the yard with the OX-22 to mark the first day of 2025. Please enjoy ZZ Top performing "Waiting for the Bus" (My personal favorite ZZ Top tune. I like it paired with "Jesus Just Left Chicago" but I didn't have enough airtime, lol" In other news, I've moved the receiver in the OX-5 to the front of the quad and moved the antennae. I also re-routed and further insulated the...

122624 OX5 FPV 001 Maiden Flight
Просмотров 38Месяц назад
This is the maiden flight of the OX-5. This is the Mario 5 that SpeedyBee graciously gave me for winning the drawing of survey participants. I took the 03 air unit out of the OX-35 and also installed a receiver I had from a previous build. I was getting an RSSI warning so I think this receiver has a problem. I plan to replace the receiver soon. I stayed pretty close to home because this was a m...

This is just a video to debut the newest addition to the fleet, the OX-5! This quad is an unexpected gift from the SpeedyBee company. A while ago I responded to an email from Speedy Bee that was inviting me to participate in a video conference call survey of my experiences with SpeedyBee products. They even said I would be entered in a drawing to win SpeedyBee products in compensation for my ti...

I'm working through some battery issues with the OX-22. I've discovered that my charger has a bad 3s balance port. I've ordered a new charger since this one is nearly ten years old. I'm able to bypass the bad port by using a parallel charging board but I don't fully trust this method. I'm only getting about 2:30 flight time out of new GNB 3s 550mah LiPo batteries. I think I'll get around five m...
121324 OX22 FPV Landing Skids
Просмотров 152Месяц назад
Just a quick video detailing the landing gear I designed for the OX-22. I printed the skids out of PLA. They're light weight, seem pretty strong, and they allow the quad to sit straight and level. They also protect the battery on landings. I don't like how belly mount quads beat up the batteries. If these skids break it's easy, quick, and inexpensive to print replacements. One could also print ...

Просмотров 25Месяц назад
My friend (and neighbor) Larry has a Siberian Husky named Dakota. Kota likes to go on walk-about whenever the gate is accidentally left open. As I was preparing the OX-7 for the final flight of the day, I noticed Larry leaving his yard with the back hatch open on his vehicle. This is a clue that Kota has escaped, so I flew around and tried to help Larry locate Kota. Larry already had him in sig...

Introducing the newest addition to the hangar, the OX-22! This is a Pavo 20 Pro Nightfire Edition from BetaFPV. They had a really good deal on this quad for Black Friday that I couldn't pass up. I got the quad, two batteries and five sets of props for $110. I picked up a new 03AU on Amazon for $180 bringing this to about $290. Pretty good value I think. I was in the market for a sub 250g Indoor...

I've got the OX-35 flying and filming pretty well. There is more jello than the OX-7 but there always has been. I think some more fine tuning might help. The OX-22 has still not been delivered. I have all the peripheral parts but the frame/motors/AIO etc are not here yet. From what I've read, BetaFPV leaves a lot to be desired from a shipping standpoint. I hope their products are worth the wait...

Awesome flying my brother 🙏👍🙏
@@electroddxful Thanks for visiting, Ray! Have a great day, amigo. 🫡 🍻
Very beautiful footage 👍
@@pointofviewgr Thanks for watching. And thanks for the kind words! I'll check out your channel, too. 🤠👍
Perfecto!!
Thanks, Tommy! My flying is improving (slowly) all the time. I think the OX-22 is making me a better porch pilot all around. It's quick to get in the air. I take more risks because it's a little less expensive to repair. The shorter flight times keep me focused on a goal during the flight rather than just meandering around (which I do enjoy). It's fun to cycle through the different quads. They each have their own characteristics. Helps keep the hobby fresh and fun. Have a great week, amigo. 🫡 🍻
@@Sonic_Ox The dream to fly is built into all of us, and through FPV we can be as free as a bird to fly as high, fast, low, or slow and all in the same flight. Enjoy the adventure!
@@TommyTester So true. That's a beautiful way to say it. Happy flying, my friend. 🫡 🍻
Nice accurate landing (better than mine, LOL).
Thanks for watching and commenting, TS! I don't have great landings very often. I thought I better post that one.😆 Happy flying, amigo. 🫡 🍻
Beautiful smooth flight my brother 👍🙏👍🙏
22 is letting us see things we don't usually notice, like your weather station and whatever is in that wheelbarrow. Flying in wind is great practice. Nicely done.
Thanks for watching, Tommy! Yeah, the weather station was a gift from a neighbor. I especially like the wind speed readings. Great info for porch pilots 😆. I turned that old wheelbarrow into a planter for the missus. She fills it with flowers in the spring. I put in a birdbath and irrigation, too. I hang a hummingbird feeder off the handle in the summer. I had a tree there, but two died in that spot. I'm not sure why. 😕 I think maybe the home builders contaminated the soil in that area. So, a container planter works right there. I hope you're having a nice weekend. Happy flying, amigo. 🫡 🍻.
@@Sonic_Ox Yeah, the main thing we're enjoying this winter is daily soaking in the hot tub we installed late this summer. It's especially fun in single digit conditions or when it's snowing. Maybe Mrs. Ox needs one to more completely enjoy your glorious sunrises and sunsets!
@TommyTester Mrs. Ox and I grew up in rural SE Wyoming. Lots of snow, wind, and very low temps. A nearby town had natural hot springs. It was a fun thing to visit in winter. We have talked often about putting a hot tub on the back patio when the budget allows. I'm glad you're enjoying yours. A hot soak does a body good. Happy flying amigo. 🫡 🍻
Quick up-round-and-down !
Thanks for watching and commenting, TS. Yeah, I'm still getting used to the little quad. I only get around 3 minutes of flight. I got two new batteries today. They're the ones that BetaFPV recommends for this quad. I'll give em a go tomorrow if the weather cooperates. Happy flying, amigo. 🫡 🍻
Hello, "Sonic Ox"! I enjoyed watching it very much! Thank you for the great video! I learned a lot! I look forward to your future works! Have a nice day!
@libmananchannel Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm enjoying your channel as well. I particularly like the drone shots of the Libmanan area. I've never visited the Philippines. Libmanan looks like a beautiful and interesting area. Happy flying, amigo. 🫡 🍻
3:07 omg that was awesome 👊😎 thanks for sharing your adventures with us 😊🙏
@MoonRabbitFPV Thanks for the kind words, 🌙🐇! I doubt I'll ever be as good a pilot as you are, but I'm having a blast. I hope you're having a wonderful 2025! Happy flying, amigo. 🫡 🍻
@ I have no doubt you will get there just keep pushing yourself👊😊 hope you have a fantastic new year my friend😊🙏
Well, well. The Ox has stepped into the world of proximity flying. I so remember the jitters. It will come, and you'll love it. That's why micros were born. Congrats!
@TommyTester Thanks for watching, Tommy. And thanks for the kind words. My flying continues to evolve, and I'm improving slowly 🐌. I'm having a great time along the way. It's a journey. 🫡 🍻
Nice dive into a car chase and getting adventurous with those gaps.
@TailSpinRCSpain Thanks for watching, TS. And thanks for the encouragement. This micro is a lot of fun and is, I think, improving my flying in general. Happy flying, amigo. 🫡 🍻
Fun! Keep practicing. Gaps are hard but a lot of fun when you can line them up.
@@Dorff_Meister Thanks for watching and commenting, Dorff! I'm having a blast. Getting better slowly 🐌.
Nice flight. The OX22 looks like it handles well. I was getting a ton of Link Quality errors, on pretty much all of my quads, if I flew too far away. I finally replaced the antenna on my Boxer and all is good.
@Dorff_Meister Thanks for watching and for sharing your experiences, Dorff. I've thought about replacing the antenna in the Pocket, but this control link issue is only with one of four quads (OX-5) ... and it's happening with two different receivers that I've moved to different areas of the quad, moved antennas, insulated wires, etc...🤔😕 My next step is to buy a Nomad TX module and a Crossband/Gemini receiver. Then I'll be transmitting 900hz and 2.4Ghz at 1watt and true diversity on both bands. I think that's the best a guy can do with current technology and hardware.
Amazing flight my brother 👊😎 hope you have a happy new year 😊🙏
Thanks for watching and commenting, 🌙 🐇! I hope you and your loved ones have a safe, healthy, prosperous New Year! 🍾 🥂
Good plan on the RF issues. How are the flight times on this bug?
@TommyTester Thanks for watching and commenting, Tommy. I only get about 3.5 minutes on the 550mah LiHV GNB batteries and about 2.5 to 3 minutes on the 550mah lipo Tattu. I'm still waiting on the 550mah Lava LiHV batts from BetaFPV. They claim over 6 minutes on those, but I'm doubtful. This little bugger is great fun, but I sure wish I could get around 5 minutes of flight. I'll keep at it, but I'll bet 4 minutes is gonna be absolute max. Happy flying, amigo. 🫡 🍻
@@Sonic_Ox Props are cheap, and I've enjoyed testing a range of them to measure noise and duration mainly, given like 4-6 identical new batteries. The results were interesting. I know the P20 uses a 2.2" custom Gemfan prop, but you might try others as their criteria for selection might not meet yours. I'm not sure if there are other 2.2" props out there, but here's my test on 2-inchers, which was won with HQ's 6 blade T51s. ruclips.net/video/VT91DGUhhFg/видео.html
@TommyTester That's good advice Tommy, thank you. I'll check out your video. I've had my best luck with HQ Props on other quads and I've found that blade count and design do make a big difference. I appreciate and value your input. Happy flying, amigo. 🫡 🍻
Hey Tommy, In your opinion, what kind of flight times would you expect from a 2.2" running on 3s LiHV 550mah? I know you've had a lot of experience with quads in the 2" category. Are my expectations just too high? I really thought I would get around 5 minutes from the Pavo 20 Pro. I don't go below 3.5v per cell. Maybe others are taking them lower or shaving every gram of unnecessary weight to get better times...🤔
@@Sonic_Ox The closest comparison I have is data of 2.5" quads at near 250 grams, and with 3S450 it's at best 3:30. At 3S650 4 minutes.
Nice smooth flying my brother: 🙏👍🙏👍
@@electroddxful Thanks for the kind words, Ray. The OX-22 flies surprisingly well. It's more stable than I expected from a tiny little 2.2" quad. It's really fun. Happy flying, amigo. 🫡 🍻

Qual a direção do Compass? Eu ultilizo inav, porém nao consegui calibrar o Compass
Thanks for watching and commenting, JC. If I remember correctly, the magnetometer direction in INAV 7.0 for this setup was CW180. I've been running BetaFlight on this quad for months now, though. I hope you get yours running right soon. Happy flying amigo, and happy new year! 🫡🍻
@Sonic_Ox Thank you for the quick and detailed reply, Sonic! Unfortunately, I didn’t know about this, and I ended up crashing the drone, damaging a 7-inch propeller lol. I thought the Compass orientation was standard, with the connector pointing to the front of the drone. I’ll test with the CW180 direction in INAV 7.0 and adjust as needed. Thanks for the help and the wishes! Happy New Year to you too, and happy flying!
@JCSITAKA Hey JC, I'm still running INAV 7.0.0 on my 7". I just checked the magnetometer direction and it is CW 270° flip! My module is a Matek M10Q-5883 mounted on the back of the quad with the plug and wires running toward the front. Please let me know if this info helps. Happy flying, amigo. 🫡 🍻

I completely missed the Survey in my email. But seeing that you won, I'm glad I missed it. Have fun!
Very cool! Congrats!! I love my Bee35, I anticipate moving my Bee25. When I decide to get a 5" freestyle, I'll strongly consider a SpeedyBee frame / quad.
@Dorff_Meister I finally have my Bee35 flying pretty well. I've had a lot of problems with it, but I've learned a lot. SpeedyBee was very keen to learn about the problems I've experienced with their products. I've had good luck with most of their stuff except their F405 mini stack and their Meteor LED control board. I could not get either of those products to work well with the Bee35. Have a look at Chris Rossers AOS frames when you're considering your next build, too. I'm using his 7" frame with the OX-7, and it's my best flyer. Thanks for watching, amigo. Have a Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
@@Sonic_Ox Yeah, I considered getting the Rosser Cine 25 or 30 over Thanksgiving. He's in the mix, for sure. And absolutely in the mix for a next freestyle frame when I want one. But so is the SpeedyBee.
that video quality has become very good and sharp
@HubsanChoice Thanks for watching, Hobbs! I shot that video with my Samsung Note 20 phone. It takes really good video. I'm getting a little better at lighting, too. My audio needs work. I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas, amigo. 🎅 👍
I love speedybee products. I used them all the times. I never any issues with it. Nice quad. Congratulations 👍👍👍👍
@@electroddxful Thanks for watching, Ray. Yeah, I've had good luck with most SpeedyBee products I've used. I think they produce good stuff at a fair price. I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas, amigo. 🎅 👍

Dialing it in!!
@TommyTester Thanks for watching, Tommy! Getting this little bird dialed in has been quite a saga. This is my first 3s build, and my trusty old Tenergy charger failed. The 3s balance port is not working and is giving me false information. It took me a while to figure out the problem, and I ruined two new batteries in the process...🤬 I have ordered a new charger that should arrive on Christmas Eve 🎄. The craft is flying well, and the problems have been with the charger/batteries. The 3d printed skids are working out well also. I'm only getting around 2 minutes 45 seconds flight time with new GNB 3s 550mah LiPo packs. I think when I get the replacement Lava LiHV packs, I'll get around 5 minutes. I'd be satisfied with that. I hope you and yours are having a wonderful Christmas 🎄 Happy flying amigo. 🎅 👍
That looks so cool thanks for sharing friend😎
@burdfamfpv Thanks for watching, Burdfam. It's taking a while to dial this little bird in. The 3s balance port on my charger died, and it was giving me false information. It was a difficult problem to sort out and cost a lot of time, and I ruined two batteries...☹️ I have a new charger on order (Q6AC from Toolkit RC). It should be here on Tuesday. Further testing can resume. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas. Happy flying amigo. 🎅 👍

I left a comment but put a link in it so I think youtube ate it. Interesting idea! I'm excited to hear how well it works.
@@Dorff_Meister Thanks Dorff! I'm still waiting on batteries since the two I got are defective. I can get about two minutes of flight out of one and about 6 seconds out of the other 😆. I flew the better one around a bit with the skids on and everything seemed fine. The skid only weighs a few grams and didn't break when I landed on it. I doubt it affects flight characteristics much, even with you acro guys. Time will tell. Thanks for watching. Merry Christmas, amigo 🎅 👍
@@Dorff_Meister Was the link you provided to a design you've made? I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with something like this. These are light, cheap, quick, and easy. I stick one to each battery with double sided tape.🤠👍
THAT IS BRILLIANT!!
@@TommyTester Thanks for the kind words, Tommy. It's working great so far. I'm still waiting on batteries. The ones I got with the quad are defective but I can get a couple of minutes of flight out of one of them. The skid is only a few grams and doesn't seem to affect flight characteristics but I'm not an acro guy. So far no breakage on half a dozen landings. Time will tell if it's a worthwhile design.

That must look really cool on a night flight. 🙏👍🙏👍
The O3 is kind of horrible at night. Even flying at dusk with O3 can be challenging.
It is really cool at night. Like Dorff is saying, the 03AU is virtually impossible to fly in low light. I'm a decent line of sight pilot, so I can enjoy the lights, but LEDs on quads are more for the spectators than the pilots in my humble opinion. Sort of gimmicky but lots of fun. Thanks again for visiting! 🎅 👍
So glad it arrived!!
@Dorff_Meister Me too, Dorff! The tracking information was wild. Weirdest I've ever seen. I was genuinely concerned that it wouldn't be delivered correctly. Hopefully Betafpv improves that. I also hope they exchange these batteries because I love the little guy so far.
@@Sonic_Ox Yeah, hopefully they do. Shipping from China often has bizarre tracking. When my Pavo25 v2's LED strip was bad out of the box, they got one of the US shops (Pyro? RDQ?) to give me store credit for somewhat less than the cost of the bad LED strip. Hopefully they helpful in a reasonable timeframe.
