iFlight Nazgul F5 Evoque: Flying 4s on the 6s Version Flight Times? Good for Beginners?

  • I wanted to see if the iFlight Nazgul Evoque 6s would make a decent beginner drone for my son if I put 4s batteries in the 6s version. I know for a fact this thing is an absolute tank. I can't kill it! So even though it's expensive, it's durable enough for a beginner. Turns out 4s REALLY calms it down and makes it super smooth/easy to fly. I wouldn't hesitate at all to let my son fly this quad on 4s with a little more time in the sim. I've got plenty of dinged up props that he could destroy and I wouldn't feel bad at all!

    you could just scale the throttle (there's even a function in betaflight I heard) to make 6S feel safer
    nice flying there as well - flying more FPV instead of playing VG isn't a bad thing to do ;)

    Good vid! I see you're flying DJI. OpenTx has a nice option where you can create an adjustable throttle mix and assign it to a rotary knob. I originally set it up to fly a Mobula 7 around my yard. Liked it so much that I ended up adding the mix to all my quads., including Nazgul V2.
    Turned all the way down, max throttle is actually 50%. I'd imagine it'd be great for training.

    Does the water proof gopro case help protect it? I already cracked my gopro10 when I crashed the back screen smacked the battery and cracked. So just wondering if you think that the case will help protect it from some "minor" crashes.

    • @ridethesky3259

      It does! Cheap Waterproof cases can be had for about $11 on ebay and while they do add weight, it's good insurance and has protected the camera in some nasty crashes. I've gone through four cases so far but it's saved the gopro every time. Now if I could find some kind of protection for my batteries!

    • @ridethesky3259
      @ridethesky3259  Год назад

      I could go quite a bit longer, but I'm most testing situations I fly to about 3.6v per cell then land it, which seems to get the final voltage back to about 3.8v so I don't have to storage charge the battery. When flying pro moto shoots I'll fly it down to 3.5 volts per cell to get as much footage as possible. Lately I've been using a 2200mah 5s battery and getting 12:30 flight times!
