      Even a 6” is a bit of a game changer. It just cruises at a higher speed and you can cover a lot more ground with basically the same flight time. 7 is a happy medium and still pretty nimble, this 8 really hustles but you can feel the weight. Go for one, you won’t regret it.

    I keep coming back to this video. Its got that feeling that FPV is all about for me. I have an FR7 v5.1 since last year but i got that 8" itch now and
    ordered the FR8 v6.1 kit and i am going to move over the electronics.
    The motors are BH 2805.6 1300Kv. Might be too weak for 8".. I did get the Gemfan 8040 thought and they are 10.5g compared to the 15.5g for the HQ Macros so might be ok? If it feels bad in the air i could upgrade.

    • @Finalmile_FPV
      @Finalmile_FPV  2 года назад +1

      Thank you 🙏 !!
      Yeah it’s going to struggle with that small of a stator, even my 2808 and 2807.5 struggle on 8” especially when it’s windy. Now if it’s dead calm, I don’t think you’ll have any issues, pids might need to be quite high with a good amount of filtering (.6-.8) on both filter sliders to get the authority it’s going to need.
      I’ve been trying to get the 2807.5 1300kv to work because I want the excellent efficiency, but I get some horizon wobble and motor heat because the motors just can’t keep up especially in the wind.
      Your right about the gemfan props, they made a 75% improvement in footage quality for me as opposed to the clunky HQ tri blades, HQ just released a 8x5 poly bi blade (similar to the old hq standard 7” props) so I think those are going to be really light and might be that last little bit.
      If your using a newer GoPro hypersmooth removes most of the oscillations I get in the wind (well covers them up) and I’m running a hero 7, an 8 or even a 9 or 10 with reel steady hypersmooth will give you a lot more room in the tune.
      I might try going to a 2810 or 2812 but I need to review the data sheets and see what the amperage is on those, if I end up decreasing efficiency then what is even the point of going up to an 8” prop in the first place. Lol.

    • @minaexperiment
      @minaexperiment 2 года назад +1

      @@Finalmile_FPV Thank you for the very informative reply! Yeah reason i wanted to keep the 2806.5 was for efficiency but the more i see 8" quad videos i realize nobody uses that small motors on 8". I assume for the reason you wrote, they cant handle the load very well when pushing them or in wind situations.
      I wonder if the new iflight Xing2 2809 could be good, their charts looks almost too good to be true when comparing to something like the T-motor F100.

    • @Finalmile_FPV
      @Finalmile_FPV  2 года назад +1

      @@minaexperiment your welcome, you might still be cutting it close on a 2809. Most people I know flying heaving 8” are running 2812, that’s probably what I’ll go to if I switch them out. I just don’t want to spend the extra cash on 4 new motors and only have marginally better performance.
      I think KV has more of an impact on efficiency than overall stator volume, as long as we’re taking the median volume for any given prop size (obviously a 3120 on a 5” prop would be horrible).
      It’s really threading the needle to get the absolute smallest stator size and still have acceptable performance. A mavic for example is really over propped but the gimbal hides any oscillation in the footage. I will say, since stator volume is the only actual important factor I’m might go with something tall and narrow so the motor has the volume of a 2808 or 2810 but it much more responsive because it doesn’t have that wide heavy bell to spool up and down. It seems the horizon wobble and even jello is just an effect of the fc commanding movements that then the motors can’t physically keep up with, so the mechanical part is always behind the gyro data, and this just gets magnified when it’s windy.
      I’m really striving to find the perfect middle ground here, for the places I want to fly I need 4-5 miles of range with plenty of battery to climb and loiter on station and still make it back. My floss 8” on a 4000 6s1p lion gives me 3.75 ish, my fr8 with a 4000 lipo is good for 2.5 max, the only real difference between the two setups is weight and motor kv.

    Do you use the digital FPV system because I can't get that kind of range out of my analog quad

    • @Finalmile_FPV
      @Finalmile_FPV  3 года назад

      I like the digital because it does better around objects, I can fly on the other side of trailers and near metal without the multi path noise of analog. I got pretty good range on analog though, try and find antennas with a near 1 axial ratio, and if your flying long range on rapid fire go to traditional or legacy mode, use a patch on the bottom port. That way it won’t try and combine the image and signal from the Omni with the patch, which at long range just introduces noise from the sub par Omni signal. That gave me best results.

      @@LeRainbow lmao. No, are you also on DJI or analog? I’m running the Omnis on top for DJI and the true rc patch on the bottom, I make a conscious effort to keep my head up and level so my directional is always pointed with the optimal gain pattern facing out. If your on analog, and running a rapid fire or fusion try switching to traditional diversity. With the rapid fire / fusion it’s combining the signal from both antennas into one image (that’s how it’s amazing) but for mid to long range it actually works against you as it never fully discards the crap signal from the Omni for the patch signal which is much stronger at long range (this is especially true low to the ground as you get toward the bottom of the Omni donut, and close to the null). By switching to traditional diversity it will completely choose whichever antenna has the strongest signal and not use partial crap signal from the other antenna, which for long range would be only the patch. This should cut down on the static in the image and greatly improve your range, downside is you really have to be careful to no fly outside the coverage of the directional antenna, if so it’ll switch back to the Omni which at 1-2km is probably close to nothing. I hope that helps, it really helped me on analog before I switched over to digital, ran the pepperbox extreme / true rc xair... good gain and wide beam, just limited vertical coverage but I like it low and fast so that want an issue for me

      Well thank you, I just got the FR10 up and running, I’d originally built it with spare parts and finally re did it proper. Kind of chasing the optimum heavy cruise size, my goal is 2-4 miles out and 55-75 with 1000ft of elevation difference, the 8 is probably right there and the 10 is looking promising (BH3115 900kv) but I’ve always been fascinated by the hildaguard and even more the hildabeast, not sure I’d gain anything goal wise but just the size and mass is impressive to want to take on as a technical challenge.

      @@Finalmile_FPV Yeah I noticed/watched the video of the FR10 afterwards. Covers a mile easily but it doesn't feel like it cause it's so large lol. I pretty much did mine for the exact same reason, technical challenge and mass. My frame choice is more of a heavy lift style though, the ZD680 (larger brother of the slightly more popular ZD550), but I assumed that it could easily double as a cruiser. Only issue is that I probably need a larger battery (currently on a 4s 6Ah) and better TX/RX (FlySky right now... yay.). The issue I'm facing now is PID tuning, it oscillates horizontally like crazy if it's disturbed by stick input even in acro (I heard that this could be from it being under weighted - no gimbal or camera on it yet). How'd you do your PIDs? I really can't find anything online for quads larger than ~7".

The flight from earlier the 10” was at 1.1 Pd gain and 1.1 Pd balance with the master at 1. On my 8” I’m at like 1.4 gain and 1.3 balance and it’s just about perfect, authority issues can definitely show up on the big stuff, just so much more mass swinging around that even with upsized motors the Pd authority still needs a boost. Lack of mass could be an issue, the trouble is low authority and too much authority can look similar until you BB log and see exactly what’s going on in the FC from both stick inputs and external forces.
