I've been in RC for four decades and into FPV since 2016. I have built a lot of quads. Really nice video. I have a HS5 and your tips will save me time. Also, thank you for the spinner file. Also, I'm a grandfather and I appreciate that you blanked the profanity from the video. Thanks!
Great build. Came here from your comment on bardwell's video. Those prints are crap but the overall machine is incredible. I want one just because its so ludicrous.
Do you think bardwell really “crashed” and “destroyed” it on his first flight… someone with soooooo much betaflight experience hmmmmm… plausible deniability maybe??? LoL
@@HOSS3822 maybe some line of sight flights to get betaflight settings all set and then install new shell 😁🤯😉 nothing crazy about it. All a learning experience 😁
I’m looking at building one. I’m wondering if an 8s battery is used and adjust the max throttle in betaflight to a 6s if that will help decrease the voltage sag. Similiar to using 4s motors on 6s and adjusting in betaflight. 🤷♂️
@@Stevegoguen I thought about going with 8S, but all of my chargers and such only work with 6S, same with the Blitz F7 stack. Wasn’t too interested in the investment needed with 8S. My recommendation would be to use the (relatively) shallower pitch props (6 inch instead of 8 inch) so it puts less constant load on the motors. The 8 inch pitch props I used definitely give it that extra top speed but even cruising around it draws a lot of current from the battery.
I ordered a complete set of prints but asked Brain3D to print them in ABS/ASA. The lower shell/battery bay is an overly tight fit so I need to make the clips a little looser but already the quad feels much more durable. I’ll make an update video eventually. 3D scanning in my opinion won’t really give good results because Brain3D also prints with very thick layer lines and sparse on the support material so the prints aren’t the best quality they can be. I sent an email to Chris with some of my feedback so hopefully he sees it and hears the concerns. I mentioned that this quad will get expensive very quickly having to buy reprints all the time, especially with brittle PETG.
Hey man, this is really good info. I'm new to drones and need spoon fed from absolute no knowledge and this video did that without being boring. Maybe you can do a vid on remotes, fpv headsets, pairing them, and all that stuff. Good work
Dry weight is 660g with the 8" pitch props and spinners. AUW is just the additional weight of the battery, I think the Tattu R-Line 1800mAh weighs around 290g so 950g total. It's on the heavier side with all the printed aero parts.
They should make a carbon fiber version and then release it to the market, these 3D printed parts are a joke...like come on, who 3D prints the whole shell of a 200mph drone!!!

This quad is entering the "just build a plane" territory
Yeah, these are doesn't make sense, planes are way better for this :) Nevertheless, great review
Very Nice. This is the first video I've seen of someone flying this kit.
Awesome build man 🤯 great video. Made it a bit further than Bardwell 🤣🤯😉 cool experience. Good enough for me. I'm not even gonna bother 🤣😉
Dron for one fly? 2 failure's...but is fast.... 💪

Just saying buying a second shell for $60 and smashing it wouldn’t sound crazy right

Great vid, thanks for sharing your experience with this build!
Great build!
good to see someone who built this, i have ZERO reason to make one other than "just because" and to throw some money at the wall =P looks fun tho!
Bardwell also hasn't managed to test Vmax before shattering 3D prints.
You have the FAA on your radar unless you have a waiver for a drone that goes over 100MPH. But other than that It was entertaining to watch.
Sick!

Dude needs to suck it up and offer the stl’s to buyers. It’s ridiculous to gatekeep them in this hobby. Someone will 3D scan them eventually

@ completely agree. It’s too easy to break it, even when not even in flight.
Cool video but it looks like you only used 2 screws for the motor not 3?
3 screws each, M3x12. I just had two in there temporarily to hold the motors in place while I cut and soldered the motor wires.
@ ahh ok
Nice build tho

I think your supposed to sand it down and paint it to make it smooth for less drag...
Luckily, you can just print a new body right? ... right ?
No, files ain’t public
What’s the dry weight and all up weight of this thing?
Dry weight is 660g with the 8" pitch props and spinners. AUW is just the additional weight of the battery, I think the Tattu R-Line 1800mAh weighs around 290g so 950g total. It's on the heavier side with all the printed aero parts.
@ wow that’s so heavy
How fast did you end up clocking it at?
chris cmon give out the stl or mold it!
Haha Bardwell beet you!!😂

Bruh, my 5 inch flies faster than that
rightttt
Mhm
It's 2014 3d scan the mf and print it out of PPS-CF
Hello my friend from the past.
I have some bad news for you in about 5 years
