I would recommend getting a copper scrubbing pad like for dishes to clean the tip of your soldering iron since dipping it in water can ruin the tip and make solder not stick to it at all. It's a cheap alternative to a copper soldering iron tip cleaner but pretty much the same thing.
Thanks for your advice and dedication to the hobby. Couple of quick tips, Clean your iron tip thoroughly apply fresh solder to the tip just prior to soldering and apply a good RMA (rosin mildly activated) flux it does wonders forming the solder bridge that you really need to heat your work quickly. The flux also helps with a perfect solder joint. The initial solder bridge is critical. Also apply your solder to the work not the iron.
@DY Inc. Hi DY inc. I have always used a 60-40 SN/PB (tin-lead) solder with a 44 activated rosin core. I like using a small diameter solder .02 inch ad a variety of solder tips for different applications. I also prefer Kester solder products. One important thing, don't use the non lead solder. There is also a solder out there that adds a small amount of Antimony but unless you are going cryogenic with your solder that won't be necessary :)
Hi .. thanks for your clear direct videos .. did you make a jumper t18 - beta flight setup for a drone ? If yes please link it , if not please make one .. Appreciated and thanks again.. Just subscribed
This is a great video. Finally, one that takes the time to show the process. Thank you. One problem though, you never showed how to set this up in Betaflight. A quick video to wrap this up would be appreciated.
hey @dronemesh when u were going through the frsky reciever u said it uses sbus and when u whent and told us what pad to use you pointed out and said to use the ibus pad? i am a bit confused not sure if its a mistake on your end or r we sopposed to use ibus pad?
If you want stronger built, though slightly less efficient motors, consider the Xing-E 2207. 2450KV for normal 4S, 1700KV for normal 6S. If you have very good batteries, and won't run props with too high of a pitch, you can (if you find them in stock) use 2750KV for very fast 4S, and 1800KV for very fast 6S.
NEED HELP! Ive been flying my quad for 4 month now and it worked great until recently. When i do a punch out, the vtx went off. It looses power and cut the fpv feed. But after unplug the battery and reconnecting it, it work again. it just happen when i moved the throttle aggressively. I thought it was that one time only but it just get worse. All I can do now is cruise around since even the slightest fast throttle up causes the vtx to shut down. Is this because of the age of my component and the fact that i had crashed it a lot or just some wiring issue. PLEASE HELP ASAP ( i _ i )
Since it seems like the iFlight Sl5 Frame has been discontinued, what would be a good alternative? Are you planning on doing a 2022 cinematic build for beginners anytime soon :)

So, I’m using everything you have for this build, with exception of the frame. Everything works great and going good in Betaflight. HOWEVER...BLHeli is not recognizing the ESC. And the strange thing is...it flys great! But, I had to swap wires around with my motors to get them spinning the correct directions. It will spin the motors under BLHeli motor tab, but it’s giving me an error when I try to connect. 🤷🏻♂️
Bigger iron tip will help when you solder fat wires. You lose less tip heat when touching cold metal, also loading the tip with fresh solder before you touch it to the joint will also allow better heat transfer.
@@marekfiferna yea, ive had a amazing expirience with mamba, but recently i spent 3months to get a fresh build in the air, built it up, and turned out i belive the fc is faulty, which has caused me alot of issues, and i saw conveniently this stack is compatible with my vtx
This is one of the best most well explained build tutorial, I have seen. Well done. I built a playlist and I hope your ok with that. If not tell me I'll remove it.... Take care buddy I pray your cold is gone. Mine has held on for over 10 days now.... Take care ...
@dronemesh i was using the same fc and vtx but when i go to vtx sa in osd, my screen hangs and I cant do anything but to remove battery, I already setup smart audio in ports in betaflight. Am I missing something?
@@mr.despar905 i think when he asked for insane speeds he didnt know what he was talking about, all motors are pleanty fast, pleanty powerful, if you want more speed you can use a larger motor, but you will find elite racers only use normal low kv 6s and normal sized motors
Awesome video 👍. Can't wait for the part two were you configure it in beta flight. Could you please consider doing a long-range wing build with one of the matek wing flight controllers.
Witch batteries do you recommend for this quad? - I ordered the parts for this build, as my first FPV quad. There are no reversed Emax Eco Motors! is that a probem?
other teenagers : *drugs , alcohol, getting pregnant, complainig about school* also me a teenager : i am almost done with my fpv drone i just need the VTX and the camera
I think RC cars are much more complicated in building.. However drones are much easier it's just couple components but the software cam be slightly confusing and frustrating and that's where most of the time is spent at first.

what compaciter did you use?
How much did the build cost"
Kieran Morrison around 200 bucks.
Wheres the flight fotage
Did you ever do a flight test vid for this build? Or did I miss that somewhere?
2 years later and I still couldnt find it.
The price is 283 $

Great tutorial , I just want to add that the quality of the solder wire is very important . Cheap solder doesn't flow well. Thx
Thanks for posting. I like the way you describe WHY you are doing something along with WHAT you are doing.
just got done building with that stack... beautiful video feed. easy to put together.

check out Joshua Bardwell's YT channel for betaflight tutorials
where did you get the mount for the receiver and antenna? the flexible one that goes over the posts...
What about goggles & remotes any sheap one for beginners?!
fat shark recon 2/3 and for a transmitter frsky x9 lite
Does the capacitor come with the ESC ?
iflight succex - e VS Mamba f405 ?

Hey, is the vtx cable soldered or a connector? It seems like when you hit the throttle the vtx losses power, check the postive/negative wires
Will this support ibus?

What's the total cost including controller and battery

What battery do you use here?
Does anyone know if you need the capacitor for a 4s build on this specific drone?
Enjoyed all 28 minutes and 47bsecomds mate. Thanks for your help! ☉👍✔🏆👊😆🌟🤓
Great video! What is the reason for choosing low ESR 35v 220uF vs 35v 1000uF?

What do you think about the iflight stack in comparison to the mamba stack
The Succex-E stack is in general a bit more reliable, especially on 6S, but it also costs more.

Can i use flysky for this build?
there are no SCL & SDA pads on it, we cant connect gps for rth?
Total cost?
Beautiful build, Sam! Really, really nice! 😃
Hey Drone Mesh Awesome video again thank you!!! Question Have you ever made a Ultra quiet, longer fly time drone?
Does not say in the comment you said that you would post it
This is one of the best most well explained build tutorial, I have seen. Well done. I built a playlist and I hope your ok with that. If not tell me I'll remove it.... Take care buddy I pray your cold is gone. Mine has held on for over 10 days now.... Take care ...
Do you have a picture where you plugged the VTX in? There are two options on the FC. Thanks.
How to get power for reciver board
@dronemesh i was using the same fc and vtx but when i go to vtx sa in osd, my screen hangs and I cant do anything but to remove battery, I already setup smart audio in ports in betaflight. Am I missing something?
Flight Footage pls?
Will the Rush Tank work with the stack
The way you solder the motor wires might work well but seeing all the cables sticking out on the sides, messes with my OCD.
Awesome put together tutorial walkthrough!!! Pretty freakin' awesome! Really inspiring, I mean really inspiring.
How much custom duty do you guys pay?☹️☹️☹️☹️
Drone mesh can you please tell me the fastest motor that I can get under $20 for insane top speeds. PlZ do tell me. Thanks
Perfect Royale can try any higher kv like 2750kv 2207
Try xing or brother hobby 2207
@RAGNAROK FPV i smell smoke
@RAGNAROK FPV lol
RAGNAROK FPV yeah thats how you reach the speed of light ;)
@@mr.despar905 i think when he asked for insane speeds he didnt know what he was talking about, all motors are pleanty fast, pleanty powerful, if you want more speed you can use a larger motor, but you will find elite racers only use normal low kv 6s and normal sized motors
how long of flight can it hold?
great tut! but i'm still not completely sure if the heat dissipation is good on this board?
Whats its range
Price of stack went up after this vid
What solder do you use?
Awesome video 👍. Can't wait for the part two were you configure it in beta flight. Could you please consider doing a long-range wing build with one of the matek wing flight controllers.
Would this be considered a freestyle build as well?
Yes 100%
Also would you recommend getting the 6s or 4s motors?
Show us the drone videos
Manifique tutirials. Thank you
Witch batteries do you recommend for this quad? - I ordered the parts for this build, as my first FPV quad.
There are no reversed Emax Eco Motors! is that a probem?
Not really .... Just make sure you tighten down the prop nuts good and tight... It is rather common to have shafts that are not reversed threaded....
Love the video! Thanks.
Very nice
I flight is now around $90
Good video but ur BBQ ur pcb. Get better solder
other teenagers : *drugs , alcohol, getting pregnant, complainig about school*
also me a teenager : i am almost done with my fpv drone i just need the VTX and the camera
