I've finally found a freestyle frame that I want to call my own. The QAV-S JB Edition has same innovative arm mounting solution as the original QAV-S, but with improved flight handling and durability, without increasing weight at all.

I just built a normal QAV-S a few weeks ago! By far the best frame I've flown in a long time.
Was just about to build out the qav-s. Perfect timing for the JB version to arrive! My first purple shirt and I can't believe how much I like it on me. I really love the cross-lock thingies! Ripped the props yesterday, nice! I have all those stickers too. (Insert evil laugh) FPV dynamics is amazing, thought it was stupid but couldn't put it down. It absolutely has improved my flight also. Great box. I love you man, sorry couldn't help it.
You are always a pleasure to watch.
Your enthusiasm for what you are doing is infectious!!!
Thank you Joshua for improving the design of this frame. Just got my hands on one and it's awesome! 👌
Looks awesome, maybe I will build my first quad now. I really enjoy how thoroughly you described the changes you made, as well as the features that made you prefer this frame.
Can;t wait to get my hands on this QAV-S ..frame on order, great job Joshua, since I started getting into the hobby 3 years ago your reviews have saved my a** many times over. The frame looks awesome, I have no doubt the performance will be amazing, just hope my build goes to plan.
Badass frame! Finished building, and hovered mine yesterday (couldnt wait for the rest of the crates to finish it...lol)
This is awesome. I have the standard QAV-S, and I love this frame. This is awesome 😁👍
I am just putting together my first drone, so it looks like this will be the frame!!! I can't wait to get some help on what to get for it!! Also, the shirt is sick. Thanks JB
love the several opps throughout the video. good thing its a year later and im sure all these issues have been fixed. starting to get into the hobby, skimming through JB channel and im learning something everyday. thanks JB
this frame is insane, kudos to the designer!
Awesome frame! I have the qav-s from the earlier box and that one flies so nice! Cant wait to put this frame to use. I like that the one piece top plate gets rid of that center stand-off that made wiring kind of a pain! good work JB!
Thank you, Joshua. You are really awesome. Please, could you do a review about the MoonGoat frame? Thank you!
That's a pretty solid box! Waiting on mine to be delivered in a few days
You made an already perfect frame an awesome piece of art. Well done 👍
Glad you have your own frame, I too have his frame, only its the pro-type frame in the 7 inch version, total genius locking arms!
Ooowwwww 7" arms 🤩😍
I have built three quads in the last month! a Micro with 1202 motors and a Crazybee F4 FC, a 6s 5" with an F7 FC and finally a 3" with an F411 and 1408 8000kv motors. This is one reason I love this hobby! If you can dream it, you can build it!
Great looking frame JB. Great job.
What an amazing milestone to achieve!!! Congrats
Beautiful JB congratulations.
I like it very much, ordered right now from GetFPV waiting for restock soon..... it will cost custom duty and VAT because I am Italian but it worth every buck, thanks for you video I'm growing up day by day thanks to you.
Can hardly wait to get my new frame! Thanks JB!
I need horns good job J-B glad to see you got Wicked cool frame👊👊😎🤙
Thanks for the build video JB😃👍
pretty good! im currently leaning towards another frame, but i think id be more than happy with that frame.
So glad you made the top one piece. Just bought it.
Already backordered... Congrats!
Can't wait to see the build!
I got a set of your hurricane props 2 weeks ago, I'm extremely surprised about the durability. Highly recommend!
I must have this quad! Perfect for for my JB F7 FC and esc stack😍
Got it love it. Was going to do 100% JB parts, well combo esc with JB F7, but in stock items are a little thin these days. Once the motors are back in stock, I will retro fit to have the complete JB build. For now IFlight gold camo.
Awesome that you made sure the frame came with motor screws. Maybe they will continue in the future doing this and other frame manufacturers will catch on
Thanks for sharing, still waiting for mine
Awesome frame, Joshua! Fantastic work! 😃
Great review as well!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hu, I have the exact tweezers as you JB... the ones with the wooden handles riveted on. Grip a bit tight for most jobs I find, but still invaluable.
Just built it first time I got 30 minutes to dot and do me lol
Love the shirt that came.(listening to purple rain)
Great stuff men.and i just finish the build came out really nice and is going to be my first 6S ow since is going to be my first 6S i was thinking on get me one 6S and one 5S batteries and start with 5S ? what u guys think?
Thanks Joshua! Are you going to tell me what I’m getting for Christmas as an encore?
Nice one JB
Great idea about the arms
Love the frame.. I have a Sensei with a Bardwell f4 stack.. Guess I gotta swap to the JB frame..
Congrats on your frame. It has taken a looong time for you to make one. It looks good.
of course I already got mine :) Happy Fly!
3:42 So cool how the quad on the book lines up with the quad on his shirt in the cut
HI Joshua you ruin my surprise but I'm very excite to be getting the JB frame. cant wait
Building it right now. Only thing I don't like is the 27mm front standoffs. They are so hard to get replacements for without buying the replacement pack. And I wanted to change the colors
Been flying the prebuilt for a little bit now. Ripped out the stupid FrSky receiver, tried to get ELRS working, no luck, so opted for Tracer & so far it's been great. The tune is very much for beginners so I'm having to tweak that but all in all I'd recommend the prebuilt if you have FrSky or are willing to do a little work. Flies great.
Curious to compare this with the Johnny edition
So excited for this to be my first build! Any insight as to what the other components you will be using for your build? Would like to order them and build along with you for the build video.
awesome crate and awesome looking frame but I am missing quite a bit of screws. All good since I have spare from other builds but hope this gets checked out.
If you're missing screws that should be there please let GetFPV know. You can check the product listing on the website for the screws that are supposed to be available in the frame. If the factory made packaging errors they will definitely want to know.
Nice! Now if I wanted to use the Vista unit which FC and ESC would you recommend?
Really nice frame JB, outstanding.
Thanks 👍
Late to the party, still waiting on my box:) Can't wait, thanks JB
Congratulations 🍾🎉
9:31 The flies in the background actually scared me, yeah awsome frame, I know I'm a bit late to the party but I'm using this frame in my first build and it's been great so far.
I have the exact pair tweezers you have! Got them at hobby lobby
Wow, even the 3d Printed parts have a certain refinement to them. I like designing my own frames, but it looks like I won't have to for a while 😄
Ha! he told us what was in the box before it launched during one of the livestreams.
Should get mine today. Cant wait 😎
Looking forward to this build... unfortunately my crate is on hold in Cincinnati... and I’m in the UK!
Nice work JB! Well thought out and full of useful details. One question tho: any plans to make a HD version of it for us who want to fly digital w/o a gopro? Looks like we’re gonna have to stick with the caddx air unit micro for a while…really looking forward to an hd frame with better weight distribution ie less tail-heavy!
The JohnnyFPV frame is specifically designed to work with the Air Unit, and it's as close as it can be to the main stack and still fit. Might still be a tad tail heavy without a GoPro out front, but shouldn't be too bad.
That book was my favorite part 💯🙌
Yayyy! I just ordered me some purple 2306 NextGen Xing Motors for this frame baby! What's up!
Can't find your motors in stock anywhere. What's your recommendation on motors? Impatiently awaiting the build video 🤣
That purple looks good
Just ordered mine 👍🏻
I wish you did do more unboxing, as well as reviews. You are very knowledgeable in this hobby, and it would be a valuable asset to the community. There's lots of drones I am interested in, and I always wonder what is actually in the box? What does bardwell think of it? and I do not get those answers.
What do you think about the new Gemfan F3 & F4 props? I don't even want to try them I just want to buy the new 5.2@ inch Roogi DNA props lol
You did a video on the QAV-S mini 4'' and im still waiting on parts from getFPV.... i dont think i want to get another QAV product for quite some time.
Hey JB, any chance you can influence ALL future FPV Crate's? Nice Job!
Liking the T-Shirt!
Micro camera mount, does this mean you are switching to the nebula pro? I'm a big fan of the nebula pro, only thing I don't like is that flimsy camera cable but that's more of a Vista thing
Seems like a winner.
When shipping to germany is cheaper i would buy one.
Shipping to Germany is extremely expensive, yes but I got mine yesterday (shipped in 2 days from America to Germany) which is insane and even before a lot of Americans get their box 😅
Also the express shipping takes all incoming taxes of the office of exchange so incl the shipping costs you will pay 65€ for getting the box in 2-3 days delivered, wich is still a good price for that high quality items you get in the box
@@Marco92Z07 65€ is ridiculous expensive.
@@markus-ermert try buying the parts in Germany for a comparible price... Yes its definitely no bargain but still more worth in the box than you pay
@@Marco92Z07 with DHL you normally have to pay import taxes plus a fee for them handling the tax and customs... I‘d love to wait 3 weeks longer for avoiding these costs... especially when it‘s a mystery box and not every item is useful
@@KitePod yes with standard dhl shipping but not with DHL express for 30$
Nicely laid out and designed frame! Yeah, I'll buy one, go to GetFPV and guess what.. Back Ordered..
Who woulda thought.. :D
I just got my QAV-S kit yesterday. I am having a hard time getting the cheese blocks in. I know you mention this in the video, but I cannot pry or stretch the arms in any direction that gets me even close, and I have giant gorilla hands. I wonder if I should try sanding them down until I get a good snug fit......
THIS IS A COMMERCIAL VIDEO - and i like it ;-)
I’m super bummed. FedEx lost mine in Georgia and now it’s sold out. Looks like an awesome frame.
I love your shirt!
Got it yesterday!
Joshua bardwell you made mention of horned arms that would be sold separately. Thats kinda why i went with this frome my glide and im super bummed. Will this still happen?
Wish the pick for your favorite drone was before it was a jb edition. Would seem more organic if you picked it even with some of its down falls you fixed. Are you selling out? :)
Hey @Joshua Bardwell thats a really cool shirt you got. Im gonna start wearing your fpv cool shirts in public. Hopefully it will help find people out there that are in the hobby start conversations an stuff.
patiently waiting for perfect build
Wish I had gotten paid a day earlier, they were out of stock before I could get a box.
How do I get the box? Great book! Thanks
Those tiny cheese wedges are genius from a manufacturing standpoint. There's always so much unused carbon on each sheet between the arms. The arms have to run parallel to the fibers, and the motor end and the big Y-end probably keeps Lumineer from getting the arms really close together on the plate. Aside from wear on the cutter, the cheese wedges are probably free!
Please tell Ryan that I said he did a good job!
Thanks! :D
I just built the Johnny FPV version and would like to build Joshuas version but its on back order at Getfpv. Are there any other places selling it??
We're gonna need to see that raw gyro data. :P How times change lol
so gay..... ppl that cant fly for shot chasing data they dont understand...
Love the purple ... can't wait to see what you will use with this built! Thx ¶ :-)
mine had 2 different colors of purple.
@@walkershot92 what/which was different? Hows the T-Shirt?
@@Sir_Hubris the standoffs are 2 different colors. It's a t-shirt. haven't taken it out of the package.
@@walkershot92 haha ...
I guess when you are flying you won't see the difference in colors anyway ¶ ;-)--~
I haven’t gotten my box yet but I can’t stop watching 😳
I got those same brown cross lock tweezers lol
ok now i gotta get one.❤️
I only have one question.... Is there a UK stockist of your gear. Got the primal QAV 250 it's years old and very brittle but it's my favourite. But now I'm convinced that the QAV-S is my next build. Your update of lumineers frame is perfect exactly as you describe! Cheers dude😁
Did you weigh the frame with the 2mm bottom plate?
I’m really feeling this frame, tho I have the original something about this one just sits right.
When can we expect the horned arms??
Also the manual (thanks for including) mentions “customized arm skid” will there be a specific set of skids for your build?
The skids are on Thingiverse with, the other 3d printed parts.
I have a set of 3 different angles locking tweezers. What do I win from the bet lol.
I was wondering if you were going to remember to put the motor screws 🤩🤩🤩
It's a bit tricky putting it together the first time but what a great design!
nice frame
if you want i did a video about my frame but its in developement so if you have advice i will take it
