    Had it for a month. Absolutely great flying quad, takes any 4s battery 650-1550mah. Got it because that was the only way to get a nebula pro, ended up loving it.
    Durable, but weakest point are the motors - bent shafts multiple times and bent them back by hand. Had to design and print motor protectors.
    I think at this weight motors need 2.5-3mm shafts. Also emax 1404 motors are very tall, so that contributes to the bending problem.

    If Kabab says the only issue is TX30 then it must be a g*damn good kwad! I will be getting one when they actually make it to the stores.
    I will experiment with it by putting on bigger motors, like Geprc 1408 or something 15xx, 16xx or even 17xx with higher kV. Hopefully the range of 3.5" props increases soon as other manufacturers release kwads in this size.

    3.5in on 3700kv 4s is a pretty decent power to weight ratio. I play a ton on 3600kv with 3000mah 3s 18650 VTC6A or 2800mah 3s VTCD cells and it can be a pretty fun time for a LONG time. Not super racing type speed but good for some above modest cruising. When I swap to 4s lipo on my 3.5in and 3600kv build it can probably hit 70-80 mph on full power.

    I am now looking for a smaller practice quad that i can fly in smaller spots and crash a lot more to practice my piloting skills... I dont want to fly sims anymore. Especially they dont have actual rates which makes sims kinda useless to me since i cant really train muscle memory:(
    Is this Emax hawk a good fit for that requierments;)

    • @Kabab
      @Kabab  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think this quad is a good cost effective option. The frame will absolutely hold up to whatever you through at it. The worst that could happen is breaking a motor here or there or really worst case, burn out the AIO board. Both are going to be pretty cheap and easy to replace for even a super beginner. Like I said in the video, emax really knocked it out of the park with this one finally. It's solid.

      GepRC made the 2.5" Phantom that seems pretty damn good. Course Mr. Purist Kabab lol didn't think that much of it. But, others love it! I think the sweet spot for small and DJi is 3" and the brand new Avant quads Avio is worth looking into. Nick Burns just ordered it for himself, so it's got to have great potential, and he'll do a full review before long, I'm sure.

    07:07 Yes! The only thing that stops me from really liking the Fouride is the dropped camera mount. I just fly for fun so I don't use a GoPro. If the mount is raised like this instead of dropped in a future design, I feel like I can start loving it. Other than that it's perfect.
    The second one that I like the most right now is the Ummagawd 2Fiddy, but the camera can only tilt up to 35 degrees. I like this better.

      @@pablom463 I've been in this hobby and addicted for over 4 years. If I was just starting out, I'd go straight to digital with DJI. Analog is on its way to complete death...probably around 2-3 years from now. People don't understand what happens...manufacturers will see slow sales of analog gear starting soon, and supply and demand dictates that slow sales equals discontinued products because if they can't sell them and make money, they simply won't make them. Plus, they won't want to make small batches because that raises prices and raising prices of slow selling SKU's means even slower selling SKU's! So, although people say analog will be around for a long time, that's simply not the way technology works!! And, you can't stop technology...not unless you find a way for all of the FPV users to all of a sudden find a reason to all buy analog again once digital FPV parts are soon cheaper and the selection is huge. More choices of digital gear will speed things up even faster!
      It all speeds up even faster once DJI comes out with the long overdue, and over a year ago leaked 20x20mm AIO digital FC. By you know who! Shhhsh! That board IS KEY! Because, the ONLY negative of DJI is that the Vista and air unit weigh so much and are big. Once this new rumored board comes out, THAT ALL ENDS and DJI really, REALLY starts to dominate.
      *Why they have waited so damn long I think is a huge mistake.* I think it all has to do with the slow economy from the pandemic. They could OWN the market right now and almost no one would even be debating going analog!!!
      Soon, hopefully by late springtime or early Summer they will release it. But, the cheapest decent analog goggles are $350 and if you're gonna spend that much on the MAIN spendy component of this FPV hobby, you might as well save another $200 and go digital. It's the future. Plus, we can usually sell our gear we don't want any more used. How many people will be chaffing at the bit to buy your used analog goggles 2-3 years from now when EVERYTHING is digital and analog is dead and buried? So, you'll get no resale value either with analog goggles! ;)

    So the conventional wisdom is to aplign the carbon with the arm length for the maximum strength. However this only maximises performance in bending.
    If you orient the fibers at 45 degrees you loose out on flexural stiffness but the torsional stiffness increases.
    Could this be a solution to the twisting on long thin arms?

    • @TinkerLifeProjects

    • @Kabab
      @Kabab  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you look through my old videos I did some interviews with a carbon engineer. They've actually created special carbon that DRASTICALLY outperforms anything else in our industry. It has a special layup as well as specific fibers and resin. It could actually solve this issue completely and the carbon is way stronger too. The issue is that it costs quite a bit more. I'll be testing it nonetheless because it is a very nifty little design that is super clean. Just needs to work 😕. Normally I'd scratch the design and start over but I can't come up with a simpler and nicer design to go with.

      It all comes down to the power train. This is a 3.5" quad on a 1404. Moving up to 4" gets you significantly more speed, control and payload potential. for 4", I recommend is using 1303 at the absolute minimum and performance begins to max out in performance around 2203-2204 in size among typical open prop FPV quads. The control improvement just begins to increase faster at the 1404 mark and begins taper off at the 2004 size. If you're going to be running small 1404 motors on 4", you're not going to have great performance. Sure it'll work but control will be limited and speed won't be that quick albeit I don't think the lack of speed is a big deal. This is a 1404 motor on a 3.5" light blade. It will have better control than 1404 on 4" no matter what 4" prop is put on it. The rest of the quad is a different story but isn't as impactful to the flight performance as the motor and prop size
