DON"T Forget I have a box here of spares for another build. If you need it just watch the whole video and leave a comment about it. I'll randomly pick one of you guys to send it to. also even if its not the box of parts you win here are some bonus sim codes to redeem on steam too. 960P6-DKVE5-X4XLV JG779-PKXQD-470Q4 ZG2YL-ZX2AK-E5HHI NF4L9-BRQQM-E7VVB FG3BP-59TXP-QZWAQ 8TDEW-CZ5JE-7WCPI 90CNV-IJTY5-3J8TG P73Y0-CTJKX-LMRRM
I have to agree unfortunately, the soldering work in this particular vid does not look good at all. The solder looks like blobs dropped on the pads, no flow, the soldering iron is not hot enough and that leads to dry joints, ie: high potential for arcing at those contact points with poor conductivity, weak joints that'll rip off easily with a crash. Sorry to be so critical but that's really bad soldering work.
Yup. Soldering is really bad. A bit or flux, heat the pad, and it would reflow nicely. He could even turn it into a whole video how to fix your little f'ups.
was thinking it couldnt be that bad but the further i got into the video the worse it got, especially the motor wires they are wayy to loose nobody would buy that if you sold it for free
Currently getting into this hobby for the DIY side of it. I build guitar amps, but I can't fly those. I've got a controller and 10 hours in the sim. Videos like this are helpful to figure out what I actually want. My head is spinning looking for the right systems to start with.
I fly 3.5" most, and my last 5" was a disaster. I would love to get back inte the 5" drones! The old build tutorials was my main insperation for building fpv quads.
This is what makes the fpv hobby one of the best communities ever...(there are some goobers like everything) but helping eachother amd sharing info and build specs and parts making sure to share the joy... so glad i found this hobby. Love your content and you seem like one of those super chill people i wish you were in florida
I’ve just completed my build of volodor 3.5, now planning for 5 inch 😂. This man’s videos is where I learnt to make my drone and my hobby began with his videos. Big up bro. Sending love from India.
Looking at this channel for many years. Dreaming of flying one of these drones. After watching UAV F. I have invested in a good controller and training on simulator for years. Highly recommended to start using a sim before going for the real stuff. Happy flying all!
An angel from heaven that descended on a drone! Really want to get into FPV and Camera drone but want to do solid entry to it without breaking the bank! And I have also been experimenting with soldering and raspberry pi/arduino, so this project is perfect! Thanks for the video!
Never built a drone before Stu and you have presented this in a way that as a newbie I could follow and I am starting to make sense of all the bits and bobs. Lucky me, as a newcomer it seems more streamlined and less complex than a few years ago.
Last full build I did was with a Naze32, then life got in the way and I stopped (yeah its been that long) and just got back into it with a second hand BetaFPV 85X, this build is very tempting!
awesome build! I haven't flown for over 6 years but have decided to get back into the hobby, UAVfutures was the first channel I came back to and it's good to see you haven't changed at all! Would love some parts if chosen! if not I am still going to build one in the very near future!! Thanks for catching me up on all that's changed :)
The audio sounds very good. No garage reverb Great build. I would give it a go if I already didn't have too many fpv ships. I usually quickly redo my solder joints by touching with the iron over the joint with some extra flux paste. This ensures that I don't get any cold joints.
I've always appreciated your $99 builds for their value, but it's great to see you step it up and take into account the value of user experience. I'd be extremely lucky to have one of these for my first build!
Wow, that looks like a sick build. I am somewhat new to flying drones, but have been in the RC hobby for several decades. Piloting FPV drones has been nothing short of amazing. If you haven't decided on who to send those spare parts, I'd love to start this build. Thank you!
have not built a drone in years, everything has changed these days, i need to research half the new stuff just to know what i'm looking at, awesome video stu.
I lost my quad 1 week a go. Was flying crux 35 and because it was analog, I didn't see a silly tree branch, I've hit it, dizzarmed and fell down but the battery ejected so couldn't use the beeper,neither Turtle mod and spent hours looking for it. Now you got me hooked from your last walksnail googles video and would be cool to build a new one , HD this time and some of those parts in your box could come handy, especially if they build a drone like in this video. Love your content and happy you are supporting the hobby.
Hey you pretty much got me into this hobby years ago. Although I haven't built a drone in about 5 years, my son is old enough to start getting into it. I am getting him a Tamiya car kit in a few weeks for his birthday and intend to fit fpv to it later this year. Next year I want him to build his first fpv drone. I want to get back into it with him, if you still have any parts they'd be super helpful for our hobby. Otherwise no worries, still love your vids
Oh yes who wouldn’t want some uber smooth walksnail digital on a killer of a freestyle drone! I’ve been loving the radio master pocket since you recommended it, thanks for the good call!
Your channel has convinced me to follow an old dream and get into fpv, just bought the walksnail L and a pocket, super excited to start planning out my drone! (and hopefully I win!)
Another banger video, just getting started in FPV now. It's been fantastic and frustrating, amazing to learn new tricks and just fly around, frustrating as heck to fail so many times trying new tricks. I watch many creators and gotten so much info but I really just enjoy your vids....I just want to go out and have fun flying, that is what I get from your content. Thank you
Wow Stu! I didn't realize just how much I missed your content when you were not making it. Soooo glad your back at it, and looking smarter than ever! God bless my man!!
I enjoyed watching this. I have flown helicopters and some cheap quadcopter but never tried FPV. I'm a little nervous trying to build these but I'm motivated to try after this video. I challenge you to get your daughter to build one and video it. Then I'll feel ready.
I'm 54 years old I used to lie in the grass in the school field across the road from my house, lying down the on the ground the house martins and swifts would dive bomb me like for them it was a game, and fun. I always wanted to be able to fly but could never make it happen you could give me that jump start to what I always dreamed of.
I have a Radiomaster Pocket turning up tomorrow based on your review and recommendation and have recently purchased a flight sim. Got a lot to learn going forward but have watched heaps of your vids and will be building a quad copter down the track. Thanks for all you do and best for the future.
Recently built my first drone on a 3.5" AOS frame. Mamba AIO, p1604 motors, TBS 5.8G HV VTX, EP2 rx, 750mah 4s batteries. Went analog for that one because I have analog goggles, but my Walksnail Goggles L should be here soon and would love to have a full size quad for those! Great build!
I've always wanted to get into flying drones....building one seems like a lot of fun. I definitely gotta check out the budget builds(so I can learn to fly) then build this one. Thanks for the inspiration and great video.
I have built a few drones fixed some as i been flying for a couple years, you should do a part 2 to this showing the set up in beta flight, and binding it to the radio because if people are watching it trying to build their first drone, half of building the quads is the programing and setting them up
I'm so glad to see you still sticking in there and your budget drone builds are by far my favorite on youtube and been the most helpful to me so thanks dude.
I have been wanting to get into fpv for a while and i have spent countless hours on the sim and am very comfortable and i am ready to make the jump into real fpv but unfortunately i have had trouble putting aside all the money i need to start and getting the spare parts might just be the thing that i need to finaly be able to start flying real fpv.
I’m keen to do a build like this with my son but want him to start on something small like the Mobula 6,7,8. Do you have to buy these complete or does anyone have a recommendation of where to go? Cheers. PS have loved your content for years. Thanks for all that you give to the community. Legend!
man i have one drone but its analog, but really i think analog is going to stick around for whoops and the budget users, as well as long range since 10watt vtx exist
I know it’s a bit late but I’ll take a box of parts!!!! I’ve finally taken the plunge and purchased a Mario 5 frame and a Boxer Crush. Been watching your vids for too long not to give it a go!!!
Timely! Just crashed my 2-year-old 5" yesterday and it's in pieces. I live in a construction zone - new houses - and it picked up a rock on landing. I could repair it and I see so much evolution in the components that a new build has appeal. Please put my name in the hat for the box o' bits as long as you ship to Canada. I like the integrated battery plug on the frame and having one camera for FPV and recording with the option to mount the second. Apologies if I missed this in the video - how much does it weigh? Thanks! Mark
Mate I'm planning on doing a build ASAP with my brother in SA to get into the hobby, cost is definitely the blocker right now second only to Dad life sapping up my free time 😅😅 Gotta say that kit would be a massive help, but I'll go for this as the build guide, thanks heaps for the thorough coverage of details
Great vid, I have been flying whoops around to learn flying and gain confidence. Im about to attempt my first build, just need to decide on the video system.
I bought my first drone. The emax tinyhawk. Little white guy. I cannot wait for it to get here. I've seen some videos about building your own and this video gave me confidence to build. Thanks, this is great info! Definitely got a new subscriber! I can't wait to build my first drone once I get the tools and of course, more confidence. Cheers! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Best build currently is: five33 ludicrous frame, neutronrc fc and esc f745 60/80A 8s aio, aos supernova 2207 1570kv motors, naked vista nebula pro nano, ep1 elrs rx, 1380mah 180c 8s bonka lipo

Bbbbaaammm Baaaam, i might Build my first own Build. 😅😅😅 @UAVfutures
FYI you might want to give the codes out another way. There are bots that scour platforms for codes and redeems them. Here’s to hoping for some parts!
Haha comment nah love ya work need the parts
comment DROPPED - nah love ya work I’m in the NT previously QLD haha I need the parts it’s rough up here
solder job looks pretty cold tbh
bruh, rlly cmn man nothing more positive? lmfao
I have to agree unfortunately, the soldering work in this particular vid does not look good at all. The solder looks like blobs dropped on the pads, no flow, the soldering iron is not hot enough and that leads to dry joints, ie: high potential for arcing at those contact points with poor conductivity, weak joints that'll rip off easily with a crash.
Sorry to be so critical but that's really bad soldering work.
Yup. Soldering is really bad. A bit or flux, heat the pad, and it would reflow nicely. He could even turn it into a whole video how to fix your little f'ups.

which one???
i also want to build one can you mention name of video
@@smartos1212 it cant be done for $99 anymore mate. but just search $99 fpv build
The reason I startede building and flying drones was UAVfutures $99 drone build video. Thank you Stew! You are the best!
That freestyle build is insane.
im new and still learning. im from Malaysia. Getting addicted with fpv.
Looking at this channel for many years. Dreaming of flying one of these drones. After watching UAV F. I have invested in a good controller and training on simulator for years. Highly recommended to start using a sim before going for the real stuff.
Happy flying all!
what sim do u use?
Your old videos with the Eachine Wizard are what brought me into this hobby, I never got around to building that $99 beauty, but I kept watching!
An angel from heaven that descended on a drone!
Really want to get into FPV and Camera drone but want to do solid entry to it without breaking the bank! And I have also been experimenting with soldering and raspberry pi/arduino, so this project is perfect! Thanks for the video!
Never built a drone before Stu and you have presented this in a way that as a newbie I could follow and I am starting to make sense of all the bits and bobs. Lucky me, as a newcomer it seems more streamlined and less complex than a few years ago.
Just started my fpv journey. By the time I can build something like this this video will be ancient😂
Flying 5in freestyle is awesome. It's the best hobby.
first drone i built was your $99 build from like 5 years ago. still flying it in 2024
I have been flying this drone on the flight sim. It's a blast.
Last full build I did was with a Naze32, then life got in the way and I stopped (yeah its been that long) and just got back into it with a second hand BetaFPV 85X, this build is very tempting!
I've barely learned how to keep my first BNF FPV drone in the air for more than a few seconds, but now I want to build my own.
awesome build! I haven't flown for over 6 years but have decided to get back into the hobby, UAVfutures was the first channel I came back to and it's good to see you haven't changed at all!
Would love some parts if chosen! if not I am still going to build one in the very near future!! Thanks for catching me up on all that's changed :)
It's good to have an Aussie doing this. I'm just building a Speedybee master v5. Watching your vids are really helping. Thanks lot.
The audio sounds very good. No garage reverb
Great build. I would give it a go if I already didn't have too many fpv ships.

Wow! Being a maiden flier and a know how to solder that would be sick to walk into this way!
Gorgeous dreamy! Wow!
Started indoors with a tiny whoop. Now i am addicted and cant wait to go outside. Thinking about going with the naz eco
have not built a drone in years, everything has changed these days, i need to research half the new stuff just to know what i'm looking at, awesome video stu.

That would be great for soon that just started to fly he's 13 that would make his day

Those Mamba stacks are great - only stacks I've ever used, and never had a problem
This brings me back to the times of my first build where I followed your 100$ Guide. How long was it ago? 6 years, maybe 8?

You taught me how to solder many years ago !
absolutely love it. Would you be willing to do an updated $99 starter build?....( or a price friendly build)
I've always wanted to get into flying drones....building one seems like a lot of fun. I definitely gotta check out the budget builds(so I can learn to fly) then build this one. Thanks for the inspiration and great video.
I did the first $99 build you did back in the day, sadly got lost in a move so would love to give this one a go! 🤙

started with your turnigy evo and wizard x220 recommendations years ago great to see you releasing regularb videos again
Hey I’m trying to get into fpv but it’s so expensive me and my dad love watching your videos and I would love to start fpv
Always wanted to build myself a freestyle fpv drone, these videos are great motivation for getting one built. Thanks!
4 years of watching your videos i still haven't built a drone. Man the tech has really gotten good since then.
Am watching your video's to get in this hobby, need to learn more until get a good knowledge and start building my own one
Hey Stu, I just bought a soldering iron and would love to turn the spares into something to fly. Currently flying a MoBeetle which is good fun.
I'm so glad to see you still sticking in there and your budget drone builds are by far my favorite on youtube and been the most helpful to me so thanks dude.
@UAVfutures awesome build. Is there a way to stop the props appearing in the camera view?
Hey Stu. The MAMBA stack you specified has been discontinued. Any alternative suggestions? Thank you for all your efforts!
Well, I definitely learned something today :) Thank you Stu for making FPV more accessible to the newcomers!
I have been wanting to get into fpv for a while and i have spent countless hours on the sim and am very comfortable and i am ready to make the jump into real fpv but unfortunately i have had trouble putting aside all the money i need to start and getting the spare parts might just be the thing that i need to finaly be able to start flying real fpv.
Your vibe the past few months is amazing ❤
Would love to get some extra bits and pieces!! Is a shaker is a true x style and not DC, better for freestyle with x, but have props in view from DVR
That pink radiomaster got me wanting to do some crazy design on mine! 😅
I’m keen to do a build like this with my son but want him to start on something small like the Mobula 6,7,8. Do you have to buy these complete or does anyone have a recommendation of where to go? Cheers. PS have loved your content for years. Thanks for all that you give to the community. Legend!
I seen one or two of your videos back then when I wanted to get into fpv.
I had the flyfish 3.5 that i liked but lost a camera mount in grass and havent got a replacement. probably need to just buy another frame
Fantastic build, i have watched loads of builds, but this one is for me the best. Nice details, you talk very clear and with a good pace. Keep it up.
man i have one drone but its analog, but really i think analog is going to stick around for whoops and the budget users, as well as long range
since 10watt vtx exist
Been watching your videos for a while now and think I will finally pull the trigger to get into the hobby. Really appreciate the doc you created!
Would love to see some videos of you trying the old quads you have on the wall and see how they do compared to todays standards
Got a jjrc h36 now and starting to learn to fly hope someday i can build like this one
Best solder is the Kester 63/37 it's much better quality than most and flows better than the 60/40.
FPV is magic!
I know it’s a bit late but I’ll take a box of parts!!!! I’ve finally taken the plunge and purchased a Mario 5 frame and a Boxer Crush. Been watching your vids for too long not to give it a go!!!
Damn it Stew! You are making it hard to resist getting into FPV 😬😬😬 This is a cool looking build.
Boxes of spares keep me in the air. I’m still on dys individual escs on my primary 5 inch 👍
That's a beautiful build, I'm looking for a frame which hides the props on a 5", any recommendations?
Thanks for great videos! Starting my first drone build and would love to get some spare parts for my budget build. Thanks!!
Came back to this channel after a long time.
Good to see you man.
Timely! Just crashed my 2-year-old 5" yesterday and it's in pieces. I live in a construction zone - new houses - and it picked up a rock on landing. I could repair it and I see so much evolution in the components that a new build has appeal. Please put my name in the hat for the box o' bits as long as you ship to Canada. I like the integrated battery plug on the frame and having one camera for FPV and recording with the option to mount the second. Apologies if I missed this in the video - how much does it weigh? Thanks! Mark
I'm curious what kind of flight times can be had with a setup like this? I realize that it depends on the battery, but would like some idea.
Love to start up again, busy for now but your channel is the go to spot for when I get back into flying (drones). Until then, stay free!
i'm just starting to build my first drone, thanks for the very helpful video
Volador frames are incredible for the price. I have the 3,5 inch version and it's super sturdy.
i have that frame and its amazing
Nice frame. Looks good
Love these videos! You really make building drones seem less intimidating. Thanks!
Love the tricks with the blu-tack, and with the power cap through the via holes. Very neat. "You're going to learn something today!" 😀
