Woops are great indoors, but 2.5-3inch open prop micros make the best park rippers. Glad I started on micros.
i have fallen in love with my meteor85. Def an outdoor whoop
Only 46 more days until “Rogue Flying Day”! Bring it on, FAA!
Thanks a bunch for all the tips, Mark! 😊
You should try some 2" 2s quads aa well!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Glad to see you enjoying the whoops/micros at last. I realised a few years ago I was having far more fun and a lot less hassle flying 65mm,75mm and more recently 2S 85mm micros. I now look at my 5 inch quads and think "how could I fly that monster?". I can fly in the house , around the house , in the garden , the park etc and get zero complaints or hassle from people. Plus I can have a pocketful of 1S or 2S lips and fly for ages. You have to try a modern 2S 85mm though , Meteor85 or the Mobula8 , I seriously think you will start to question the bigger quads after that.
If you fly smaller craft and basically avoid people, you will not get hassled. When I started flying in rural areas, I have not been approached at all, by anyone. I could get away with flying a heavy, but that just ain't my style. I try to keep it legal.
I’m so glad that around here no one really cares about drones and I can fly wherever, whenever. I have my 5” quads all the way down to whoops. My favorite so far is my 3.5” 6s ALMOST sub250g kinfpv ayla one of a kind. But for as many whoops as I’ve flown and tunes ive tried and props and frames and everything. I CANNOT get anything to fly like the weight and feel of a 5”. They just GIT IT lol. Good luck to all in whatever they fly. Just stay in the air!
Totally agree, lots of super fun options under 250g's.
Regarding FAA regs -= its true you don't have to register under 250g quads, meaning also that they do not require RID. However, all FAA flight regs that apply to over 250g drones, still apply to under 250g drones too - IOW, you still cannot fly your under 250g whoop FPV sans spotter, or BVLOS ever. Our FAA is ever stupid. And deaf to any logic we might present about their idiotic regs. Gonna try that tune of yours.
You are absolutely right. So, just fly within VLOS and have a co-located spotter, no problem. Oh yeah, don't fly in NO Fly Zones, don't fly over trains, and all the other airspace regulations. No problem. You do realize that the FAA is the front agency since they already regulate the airspace, however, there are other agencies involved including the Department of Homeland Security.

This needs to be pinned. I don't agree with the rules at all but lets please get them straight.
I got into the hobby last summer, because of the RID talk I opted to focus on sub 250g from day 1. Right now my favorite is my Mobula8. It's a ton of fun to fly outside even with a bit of a breeze, it's under 100g AUW, and since I've never flown a 5" quad I can't miss it. At this point I'm not sure I'll ever fly a 5" quad, there are a lot of sub 250g options.
Just have fun flying and don't worry too much, dude. Micros are fun as heck! 😃
You can do a lot in the sub-250 gram category. I have built 2 sub-250 gram 5-inch quads and several sub-250 gram 4-inch quads. They are quite workable. If you want a hot ACRO quad, consider a sub-250 gram 3-inch or 3.5-inch. These will become what the old school 5-inch used to be. Just remember that the sub-250 gram mark is the total all up weight of the craft including battery, action cam, payload, etc. If a quad weighs 150 grams dry (no battery) then the battery can not weigh more than 99 grams. If you strap on a battery that weighs more than 100 grams it no longer qualifies as sub-250, because it isn't.
I've been having a lot of fun recently with a 2in quad running 4S.
My beta 85 pro works great with your setup tune thanks. i would like to see how the crash avoidance would like with your tune. Thanks again.
Hey marc, great video. Whoops and micros are great. Positive sub 250g vibes.
I have a ton of fun with micros, definitely think everyone should have them!
I agree with almost everything you said, except for them flying "pretty close" to a 5". I guess it depends on what you mean by "pretty close". I'd say even the micros that are not whoops and have carbon fiber frames still have a huge difference to even my 3" racing quad, let alone a 5". But hey, that doesn't mean they are bad, I still have like 90% of the fun with all the benefits you mentioned.
"Pretty Close" depends on how you fly. If you are more of an endurance, proximity, or cine pilot then they are pretty close. I can't tell the difference between my 2.5-inch quads and my 7-inch rig except the larger quads cover airspace faster and take less throttle. Otherwise, "Pretty Close". Now if you are a balls-to-the-wall hi-performance ACRO or racing pilot, Nope, not pretty close. That said there are some 3-inch and 3.5-inch performance quads that DO come pretty close. These guys are becoming what the old school 5-inch used to be. Times change. Of course, you could always install remote ID on that 5-inch beast.
Yeeeah! IGOW!!! 75mm and 85mm with hd now are amazing as well. Even a bunch of 95s/2.5" are well under 250g! Bummer we can fly under 250g commercially...
No way! Can’t fly with wind and no video… gets old quickly. Love the power of my 5”, hate those small props! Rarely fly under 3”. Love my H11M too!
YEEES! Exactly! Whoop is the way!😃
In a fake British accent "Fuck me he cleared it....huh"😂
I was so happy when DJI came out and I quit flying analog outdoors. I just can't go back, I try about 1 pack per year just to remind myself how awful it was. Analog on 65m indoor I love it, but I run digital outside.
I started with a Meteor 75, was the best decision I made getting into the hobby. Great video!
Nothing like 3 to 5 inch fast quads. It's just the way it is.
most useless comment so far, enjoy your prize
@@pgabrieli thanks nob head.
whoop there tis til it taint!! good stuff!
I'd be careful with trees tho as you can't really turtle yourself out with these
Good point!
Now here is a thought. Just maybe, Remote ID is not as bad as the Rant Videos portray. On the other hand, it is the Rant Videos that might be scaring potential pilots from getting into the game. Fear has been stirred up for no reason. It certainly will not stop Remote ID.
Awesome!
Hi Mark!!
I get a meteor75pro and I got like a lot of vibration at the whoop after the first flight like a broken frame but everything is ok. I went to 4.4.2, went down to 4.4.0 , and went down to 4.3.2 with factory cli and meteor75pro cli and still doing the same when I punch throttle. Like a lot of noise. Any info about this FC. I got another one with same issue. Thank you 🙏.
props, props, props. put.on new props.
Laws are just things not to get caught doing.... do what is safe not what your told by the government... if everyone just keeps flying there 5" and no one registers then nothing will change. If we fall in line and rid then they win. I for one will be exercising my right to civil disobedience and never use rid
What us your recommendation of presets for Crux3? Which preset should I apply to my litter drone? Thanks in advance
5" quads are overrated. Imagine having a mosquito-like drone and you could be going around tree branches powerlooping the hell of out them. The tech is not there yet, who knows when, it's just a thought. I think the biggest limitation is batteries because the drones around 2010-2012 (when I started) used to have huge batteries because the motors at the time weren't really made for drones and were 'huge', everything was big and heavy. Then hardware improved but a 5" quad is still big and LOUD and people gets scared. In my experience people won't get scared of my 3" 3S quads, they sound nice, are not as big and actually people gets interested, not scared. Those 3" quads that I see around using 6S batteries... super loud, heavy, you don't need 4S/6S batteries on 3" quads, just my opinion. I'm happy you found these little dudes fun! :)
The crappy thing about RID is the fact that if you're using them for part 107 even whoops need RID wich will be nigh impossible. I use whoops for inspection into tiny areas it would be difficult to get people into, and a giant RID module will completely ruin that.
Fine, but not all RID modules are large. CubePilot makes a small $39 module; paired with a small GPS and you are good to go. I would suggest a 2-inch custom whoop build that will run on 2S or 3S. Yeah, I built one and love it. Sweet little whoop.
We just need to get a bit inventive. If you are not yet a builder, them maybe time to start.
@@buddyadkins2432 I quite literally build drones and operate drones for a living if you took a second to look at my profile you would know. The cubepilot rid module does not come with a gps, which is required for remote ID you would need to put one on your drone which is where the bulk and weight comes from. You're basically paying $40 for a Bluetooth chip.
The whole system is unnecessary for sub 250 and shouldn't require gps at all. On a tinywhoop or other small drones your GPS is always going to be in close proximity to your video transmitter antenna or your receiving antenna both of which will create interference and potentially cause of the GPS to lose connection, and if that happens remote ID dictates that your quad either shut down or land which would be catastrophic.
Have you ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect?
I really like my Kopis 2.5 with the vista which is hd. I use the Dji goggles v2. It weighs 249 grams with a 4 cell 800 and runs a long time. I think about 8 minutes cruising. Really good range and the recorded video in the googles looks really good. I am not sure if there is a better one by now. I have had it a while. Check out some videos of it.
Just be careful posting long range videos because that is where most flights that violate the regulations are caught. Yeah, people watch the video and know the flight is in violation, then they tip off the FAA. Yes, the FAA is then required to investigate and respond. Flying beyond Visual Line of Sight is a violation regardless of craft weight.
Where are you based out of, Mark? Lehigh Valley resident, just noticed the PSU hat.
Scranton area. just up the hill. ;-)
Done it already
I have a freestyle indoor video flight on my channel with the meteor65 elrs, i can fly this damn little thing everywhere, no one doesnt care and its nearly impossible to destroy it. 😂
If you think this is the 'final rule' you would be a fool. This is only the begnning folks. Its only get more complex, costly and invasive from here...
I just tried your 8" preset on my new build and my quad tried to fly to the moon upon arming!😲 switched to defaults and it flying🤔 Using BF 4.32
gp with Low Quality filter setting. Also may need to move Master down depending on quad weight.
@@uavtech It's a lightweight at 500g minus lipo
@@MrLootshoot yeah, drop the Master down so D is in the 50s
@@uavtech Cheers Mark
My plan is if running 5in which I love more than anything going to just have to go out to boonies where there is nobody. If in town at park whoops are great option or 3in. Not giving up my 5in and definitely not doing remote id until they change the general public knowing. We have to much money on us. Drones are easy sell for a crack head
Yep. Get away from people and you will likely have NO problems. Ok, be careful about posting video as that is where a lot of pilots get caught.
Everyone who flies an aircraft should be aware of the FAA regulations. You said "None of the Rules Apply". Really? Might want to check into that. Even sub-250 under the Recreational Exemption still requires a TRUST certificate, adherence to a CBO's guidelines, flying within Visual Line of Sight, must have a co-located spotter for FPV, and a few other things. So, there are SOME rules that still apply. Now, I won't even get into the "furtherance of a business". Regardless of weight, it is still an aircraft and still subject to the FAA regulations. Just different than Part 107.
Unenforceable security theatre for plastic toys should be ignored anyway, UAVtech is not going to get anyone arrested for woop flying.
@@tomverlaine728 Still, the regulations are the regulations. You can take it or leave it, but it doesn't change things. By the way, a tiny whoop is NOT a plastic toy, it is a plastic UAV (drone) subject to FAA regulations. Just because it is small doesn't exempt it. Yeah, you probably won't get arrested, just know and understand the regulations for the airspace you intend to fly; anything. In the USA, that is ALL airspace even 1 inch off the ground in you back yard. These things are already established and have been on the books for years.
Good points there. Was wondering if you know if a whoop can be used in all air spaces. Like right next to a airport?
@@winder6 No. It can not. That is restricted airspace for ALL drones regardless of size. The confusion is thinking that a 65mm framed tiny whoop is a toy; it is not; it is an aircraft. Plus, if it is used for a Part 107 activity then Part 107 rules apply, NOT recreational. Even though the Recreational Exemption is a bit less restrictive than Part 107, the airspace regulations still apply. If it is a NO fly zone, then that means, NO fly zone...any drone, any size.
@buddyadkins2432 cool thanks. I hope they the faa can ok shielded operations in the future. we have a small forest in restricted air space that is great for whoops at a beach.
Funny 😂
Whoops are a lot of fun but if this dumb shit the faa is doing causes the death of the 5' freestyle/race kwad as we know it will be a sad sad day.😢
