Few months im looking for 3.5 inch with this frame build but still cannot see better,but now this video is perfect amazing work sir + 1 subs.thanks for this great work👍
haven't tried, but will give a shot next time I am flying O3 and let you know. That being said, you'd lose a significant amount of the frame & resolution by doing so
How has this frame hold up so far? I'm between this and the LHCXRC cloud 160 . Actually I want a 4" frame for the o3 without props in view. The only one is the foxeer, but it's really heavy.
I was given a Radiomaster TX16S ( I guess version 1) and a Mobula6 with ELRS 900/915 Rx built in to the FC a little over a year ago... I spent weeks trying to get it to work but no joy... the guy who had it before me couldnt get it to work either, nor could several other flyers. So it got put aside for several months. I was then given a box of 5" pieces parts ( DIY build kit) several months ago and took my chances at getting it to work... again no joy, until just a few days ago. Finally figured out what needed to be flashed, what needed to be upgraded and then purchased the Happy Models ELRS 900/915 and 2.4 add on Tx packs for the radio. I set the 5" up with the 2.4 EP-1 elrs Rx and got it working but the motors all spun the same direction. Off to Betaflight to check things out and had to rewire the #1 and #3 motor to get reverse rotation.... did a motor check and it still works. I set things all up and tested it on the radio and more joy, but a glitch showed up in the throttle, reattached to Betaflight and it tells me it needs some kind of "upgrade" since I changed a setting on the GPS... I let the setting take place and WTF???? now the 5" doesnt work on the radio but does in Betaflight but it no longer finds the Txmtr... Betaflight may be an awesome piece of software but it is driving me nutz... ohh and BTW the Mobula6 still wont bind to the RM TX16s with HM ELRS900/915 Tx module.... Im at a total loss with the Mob.... I long for the days of FM and Xtals, so easy to use, all you need is matching Xtals and youre good to go... no flashing, no binding, no computers needed
You forgot one more thing. You should also rotate the quad and verify that the yaw axis is correct too. If the board was flipped, it’s possible to get pitch and roll correct but not yaw.
thanks Darren, i missed this video on the release tbh, but im so excited for this volador 3.5 with 1804, i just ordered those. built my 3inch in spring with 1404 and suffering with the lack of power on a heavier frame, sooo now will try this combo, it looks like there is no lack of power from the flight you had. what are the props you used?
thanks for you great video! could you share you tuning file for beta? i just to order one thanks to you but i am real beginner for setting..it will help me a lot
I had to invert a GEPRC 35 amp FC set up for a cinelifter to work on my 4" racer X frame. Everything was fine. Next build was my Apex HD freestyle frame And I had installed a stack I already setup and used for a 4" quad and didn't bother to change anything in Betaflight. When I went Outside for my maiden flight it did that same backflip as the intro but slower. I tried twice before I realized That the lemon lime props I was using are sold to be either limon on one side ond lime on the other, or likewise front and back. I had my rear props on backwards because I crossed colors. Sometimes it doesn't require betaflight to fix the problem... Check your prop rotation first. 😉
A 20x20 stack might save room to the sides, but not in hight. Depends what you need. Obviously you benefit from seperating esc and FC in case of burning something dead. It adds 5g though. Here sub250g is already not possible anymore. Gemfan just released some 3630 props. I'm building a 3.5" 6s on 2004 motors anf the 3630 next. Unfortunatly there are too little 4" frames I like
For a mini stack. You’d have height, which wouldn’t be an issue. There is still plenty of clearance as you can see from the stack screws. Sub 250g is getting more difficult. 300g is doable. They’re not going to know 200g dry weight vs 300g AUW
One of those things.... Its so hard its easy😂... Just set all escs to spin normal "motor 1 cw motor 2 ccw motor 3 cw motor 4 ccw......... run em up in bf.... If any dont run like above.. swap 2 of 3 leads... easy
Just sometimes the better you get, you can miss simple dumb things -- I completely setup a quad and it, checked motor order, direction etc etc.. tested and it flipped out, I fiddled with it for hours, like a mad scientist and gave up for the day, came back the next day, did I really forget "Motor direction is reversed" tick box yes what a dumb arse -- nothing to see here
for me, I always* follow a pragmatic approach to building, I go through the motions and process, whether I think it's right or not. Except this time, I was under a bit of time pressure to get it done so wasn't as pragmatic as I normally am, and then problems. Which is why the solution was to come back, follow that pragmatic approach so I knew it would be correct.

Im building this. So the board issue? I was going get 25x25. But after ur problem i went with a 20x20 speedybee. Alsoo did u use the supafly preset?
It's almost like I see this issue on a daily ;).
Great work brother. In the process of finishing mine
yeah, it happens all too often. That and Airmode on the desk 🤦🏼♂️
Very interesting video, with this configuration how much is the flight time?
Wannt to buy this to wich props do you have
Few months im looking for 3.5 inch with this frame build but still cannot see better,but now this video is perfect amazing work sir + 1 subs.thanks for this great work👍
Glad I could help
Hi mate! Awesome vid and channels. Any chance you share your filters and pid tuning for this drone. I am having a lot of vibrations on mine
By any chance can yoy provide a cli dump of your quad ? I will like to try it out
If you record at 4:3 with the 03 and put the footage through gyroflow are there still props in view?
haven't tried, but will give a shot next time I am flying O3 and let you know.
That being said, you'd lose a significant amount of the frame & resolution by doing so
Can you make a step by step tutorial of the build I am new at fpv
can you paste you betaflight cli dump file.. i have the same build! please, board set up the same!

very true!
Absolutely right ✅️
Hey beginner here ,does the 6s battery sag a lot under full throttle ,as people say 4s sags a lot and recommend a 6s
Anything says a lot under full throttle.
Is it better than 1604 and 3.5"?
Is what better?
thanks Darren, i missed this video on the release tbh, but im so excited for this volador 3.5 with 1804, i just ordered those. built my 3inch in spring with 1404 and suffering with the lack of power on a heavier frame, sooo now will try this combo, it looks like there is no lack of power from the flight you had.
what are the props you used?
Props I think from memory were the gemfan hurricanes
What was your flight time with the 6s 650mah battery? Doing freestyle
Around 5 mins
thanks for you great video! could you share you tuning file for beta? i just to order one thanks to you but i am real beginner for setting..it will help me a lot
SupaFly 3/4” preset.
@@DarrenAllatt Does it a preset for this quad?thanks for you help
@@derivas007 its in betaflight presets
Nice high velocity landing at the end on the bench. I've never tried that. hehe
Just have to send it, even when landing.

What goggles are you using new to the hobby?Trying to figure out what's the best goggles to buy
The “best” goggles is irrelevant- it’s the FPV system that matters. Walksnail, DJI or HDZero.
A 20x20 stack might save room to the sides, but not in hight. Depends what you need. Obviously you benefit from seperating esc and FC in case of burning something dead. It adds 5g though. Here sub250g is already not possible anymore.
Gemfan just released some 3630 props. I'm building a 3.5" 6s on 2004 motors anf the 3630 next.

1804 on a 3.5 inch prop is a big boy setup.
Absolutely!

haha thats the exact thing that happend to me yesterday arm -> flip back -> fuck
Cheers from qld buddy
Thanks Spaghetti! Carn the Blues!

This is the centre square for FPV building bingo
pretty much!
One of those things.... Its so hard its easy😂... Just set all escs to spin normal "motor 1 cw motor 2 ccw motor 3 cw motor 4 ccw......... run em up in bf.... If any dont run like above.. swap 2 of 3 leads... easy
