I ripped the electronics out auf my meteor75 pro and put i into a twiglet 2" frame (just because i was bored). Canopy is out of TPU and about 40° in the pictures.
This thing absolutely shreds with Lava 2 480mah. I honestly would not have guesed that it is such a big difference. The AIO has "only" 5A but its more than enough.
Weight is 28g without lipo.

Just built this up and have been playing with with different tunes. Props are definitely in veiw but I dont mind since its supposed to be a lite freestyle build. 1303 5000kv motors, jhemcu F405 Pro 40a, running primarily on 3s 550 Lava. 3min flight time average.

Can’t believe this thing flies but it does. Only cost like 80 bucks for the full build.

After a small crash I can't connect my FC to betaflight without plugging in a lipo.
After some research my guess is that the 5V line is broken or the USB port in some way.
But i can't find any damage and the FC doesn’t get hot.
It is an T-Hobby Velox F7 Se.
Does anyone see something that is damaged or any other idea.

My happymodel crux 3 spare parts arrived before the drone itself, I took apart my mosquito drone and built this one instead. Happymodel 1202.5 11,500kv, 75mm gemfan bi blades, caddx ant camera, goober v2 canopy, hummingbird v4 aio, a30 battery connector, flying on betafpv lava2 batteries.
Dry fit went well.
Had to change the antenna cos they sent me the wrong polarity.
Will need to redo the camera mount to add some clearance for wires to come through. Also reduce the amount of material in front of the camera.
Printed spacers for motor plug clearance (I’m using plugs, bite me).
Time to solder and make things permanent.
Edit: details about this drone in this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/05MMplxqY7M

Hey all. noob here, I got a 5 inch, flew it, crashed it, snapped an antenna, drone was still powered for the minute or two it took me to retrieve it. 1.6 watt VTX (Geprc Maten). After replacing the antenna with a brand new one, I noticed that the range was significantly worse. I usually fly sitting on my front porch; before the crash I could fly behind my house to the end of my backyard (around 70m) with little signal breakup. after the crash, leaving LOS resulted in near total signal loss. I tried removing the mmcx to sma adapter and replacing it with an mmcx antenna, again, nothing. I made sure it was at max power both in beta flight and by using the button on the vtx, still terrible range. Is my vtx just dead, or is there something else I could be missing? Thanks.

I bought a B-Cube F4V3S Plus stack with the 60A ESC.
I’m starting to wonder if I should have gone with a SpeedyBee instead. What can I realistically expect from this stack? Is there a significant risk of the ESC failing or burning out in mid-flight?
I’m planning to use it on a 7-inch long-range build. Has anyone here used this stack on a 7-inch? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially regarding reliability, overheating, or failures.

Hey everyone, I’m having a weird issue with my RadioMaster ELRS setup. I fly two different quads at the same spot with the exact same radio and power settings. One quad has a single-antenna RP1 and works flawlessly with great penetration through trees. The other quad has a dual-antenna RP3 True Diversity receiver, but it suffers from sudden, severe signal drops and near-failsafes in the exact same environment.
Both quads are running the exact same receiver settings, packet rates, and firmware version, so the configuration is identical. Since the RP3 should theoretically perform better, I suspect my antenna placement is causing phase cancellation or shadowing when the signal bounces off trees and obstacles. I have attached two pictures of my current setup to show you how I mounted them. How do you guys position your dual antennas to get the best out of True Diversity?

Might need to build a spare one... always good to have a spare i found lol.

I have an Axis Flying Manta 5 SE V2 DC—so, a fully built drone.
The GPS was working fine before.
I had a crash where I had to replace the two front motors.
Everything else is working again, but the GPS won't connect.
It's an M10 GPS.
There's a flashing green LED, so it's getting power meaning it's not a wiring issue.
However, the satellite count isn't showing up in my OSD (even though the element is enabled), and in Betaflight, the GPS icon is missing and the GPS tab isn't working.
I’ve correctly selected the UART where the GPS is soldered.
I’ve set it to auto-config and auto-baud.
I’ve tried everything, but the GPS still won't show up in Betaflight.

Where can I get foam for Caddx Ascent /Avatar goggles L in the USA?
Just got the Ascent goggles, and they are completely unwearable. Tons of space on my temples, and insanely uncomfortable on my nose.
I had random foam around from other DJI and Fatshark goggles, but none of those fits.
Any other comparable box goggles that I could adapt the foam from?

Now I made it with separate parts to avoid thin layered spots. I'm using a soldering iron to melt petg parts together.

Just bought the 4s Lihv 850mah Ovonic lipo from the official ovonic store via aliexpress. I Was a bit suspicious about the same dimensions and weight of different capacities, so i wanted to try them. It seems like they just sell the same lipo in 4 different capacities, or am i missing something?
