Let me know if you found this useful and would like more beginner guides to help people get flying. Also drop a comment or a like if you found the video helpful. Happy flying.
Love the videos Stu! Especially interested where you take this series. Would like to see more information on what radios are compatible with what receivers and what their protocols would be. Like the difference between Flysky and Frsky. I have a hard time finding this information online easily.
May i ask.. i have flysky i6x and my receiver is bound. BUT i dont see any stick movements in betaflight. Any idea on how to solve this? Thank you in advance
I take back my last comment. I just test flew my 2nd build for the 1st time (I lost my 1st quad) and realized it is flying in acro mode, as I was just practicing flying around my open basement floor just skimming the floor to get my brain trained for the extremely sensitive sticks. I’m so used to flying DJI Quads that every time I need to make a correction I’m always tempted to pull on my sticks in the direction needing correction. It doesn’t take much on the sticks to make corrections. At some point I’ll be able to fly circles and rip a full pack without crashing lol. I’m already addicted to this hobby, I can see my addiction growing 10 fold once I can actually fly a course. I CAN’T WAIT TO GET BETTER! @UAVfutures Thanks for all your tutorials! I’ve been craving to get into the hobby, but didn’t know where to start. You have made it pretty painless to get my first quads built! Thanks for all you do and taking time to make these videos for people like me! Now on to watching your flight school videos. You make it look so easy lol!
We need more videos like this. I like the quad reviews but I really like it when you do these types of videos ( how-to's, tips and tricks, mods,etc...)
It's wonderful that you are doing instruction for beginners. Please assume that the beginners know absolutely nothing about what to do. So many of the videos I see posted on TH-cam assume that the viewer knows everything there is to know about betaflight, Etc. Please make videos for us extreme beginners. Thanks much.
It would be great if you could go into depth on what exactly your doing for the slow people just getting into fpv drone racing because I was still very confused and haven’t been able to use my new drone😥☹️
Got a new drone. Flew it. Had a blast. Went into betaflight to flash the quad, now my quad wont bind to my controller. I'm stupid amounts of lost. Eachine novice 2.
Beginner series would be fantastic stu, because of you're videos I've got into fpv, just bought my first radio and sim and my flying journey begins from here. Keep up the awesome work.
Yes keep going with a beginner series. I have ordered a load of parts and am about to take my first steps into building and flying FPV so a beginner series would really help me. I haven't even started with betaflight yet. Gotta get my build right first!
About to receive my first racing drone and this has been very informative. It has eased my mind as to how to setup my radio to it. Definitely make more beginner tutorials to help newbies (and myself) so we don't have to hassle you or others with basic setup and programming. You are the reason I have been bitten by the drone racing bug and now getting my first one. From your reviews I decided to get the Tyrant S and Turnigy Evolution. Keep up the great work.
I'm a beginner and appreciate the video. But what I've discovered is it's not that easy. Once you're past that point things can become increasingly difficult when the quad doesn't arm and start. Love your channel and yes it would be fantastic if you continue the beginner series.
Great! My daughter are doing a science project involving a drone. They are measuring the power consumption at different payloads. I think I will let her watch this video!
Hey stu, thanks for these types of videos they are so helpful! i just got into this hobby and your videos have truly impacted how i go about buying equipment. I actually bought the turnigy evolution and then realised i don't know what to do now! this video is exactly what i was looking for thanks so much for all your time and efforts!
Stew..... I'd be completely lost without your videos.. HOWEVER you're the one who got me into this mess called FPV in the first place :P All jokes aside, I love the channel, video and this hobby that your videos made me venture into, Thank you so very much!
Thanks for the great beginner's how to videos. I wish I had access to more videos like this when first began years ago. Your instructions are great Stew. From the USA, keep on Videoing. We love it.
Very useful - I'd forgotten you have to hold the bind button down on that radio. Watched your video and quickly pulled the radio out the bin where I'd thrown it day before lol
@ uavfutures thanks man im just starting out and love hearing that you are making a beginners guide and i wanted to know if you knew how to make a drone safe to fly when there is snow on the ground for i live in montana and its about to snow
Thanks. Yes, that is one of the first challenges. You skipped the software install process which is tricky the first time. I am only two steps ahead of this video; so, make and publish more like this one.
Hello stew. I’ve followed all your steps here in setting up my Turnigy Evolution to my brand new babyhawk R. It’s set up on ibus and it’s showing when I move the sticks the inputs move on the receiver tab on Betaflight. Checked also the buzzer. All seems ready to go. When I try to arm it, it’s not arming. I’m only getting a beep from the babyhawk When I switch it to arm. Motors are not spinning. I watched the same video 3 times and don’t know what it could be. I’m no expert here. So I could use a hand. What should I look for to start it ? Lmk please. Thanks pal :)
In your 1st build tutorial I wired my SPF3 FC to UAR3 but for some reason I had problems connecting to betaflight. I ended up breaking down my build and just connecting my FC straight to betaflight and was finally able to connect it and flash the FC. I was looking at all my wire connectors that came with my FC and started noticing the connector I can plug straight into the FC which I later found out was PPM and so that’s the way I went cause I had no problem connecting to betaflight. Back then I didn’t know about turning on the serial Rx for UAR3 till this tutorial. I also heard you say that PPM is older technology. My question is what perks am I missing out on since I wired my FC with the PPM connection instead of UAR3. I’d also like to see you do a tutorial that is more in depth on setting up a Tx and how to program one of my modes for acro mode cause it doesn’t seem like my is in acro mode. I thought in acro mode that once I push my left stick forward it should keep that forward momentum even though the stick springs back to neutral. It seems like my quad is different and I have to keep my left stick forward to keep that forward momentum. Just confused on how to program all my channels properly and programming a failsafe. Every time I program a switch such as SwA to be a failsafe it doesn’t seem to work. I assume failsafe means instantly shutting down the motors instantly in case of an emergency which doesn’t seem to work when I program SwA as my failsafe. Also wondering what the different modes such as Horizon, Angle, and Rate are and what the differences are between the modes. I pretty much figured all other programming of my Tx but I want to get my quad flying in Acro mode.
Stu, good series idea. I use the same setup you have and have recently been having rx failures. 2 fs-a8s just stopped working, have power but no led. Other rx's don't seem to save the binding. I have to rebind in the field sometimes. Any similar problems ?
I bought this same controller based on ur reviews and I’ve been playing on the sim. Is there anyway to make it so my right stick isn’t inverted aka upnis down down is up ty great videos
Hi, I built the 100$ drone after watching your video. It’s brilliant. Loving it. But I want something that is easier to use. I believe having a GPS and barometer on it will help me get a lock on position and altitudes to have good video footage. Can you make a video on how to build the best and cheapest FPV drone with GPS and barometer?
Hey Stu I have a eachine wizard x220 and a turnigy evo transmitter with a ia6c receiver. The radio and receiver seem to be bound as when i disconnect the battery from either they beep or the led flashes that there is no signal. But when I connect the drone to betaflight the tx doesnt seam to work and I've followed all the steps in this video.
Thank you so much this was helpful for sure! Please can you show us how to tune as well? And also set up auto balancing and other functions like acro mode and setting different rates and safety button in case you lose control?
Hi just watched you video and learnt thanks. One bit I cant get to work is hooking up a servo. I'm using a Naze 32 and a Turnigy TGY-iA6C. Ihave tried connecting but get no output? The TX is talking to the RX
Thank you Stew! My 2 sons and myself just ordered 3 Eachine x220's. 3 Eachine VR 007's, 2 Turnigy Evolution's and a Flysky i6s. We have been practicing for a week with a Bugs 3. I watched the $200 getting started video and ordered. You explain everything so well. Thank you again for promoting this sport. Any recommendations for an OSD. First channel I have ever subscribed to. Keep up the good work. We have the bug. Good Day!!!
Hey man. I built the upgraded kit I have a flysky i6. It has binded with the receiver but when I go to the receiver tab in cleanflight the parameters dont move. What could be the cause of this?
Got my receiver talking to my drone! finally..a lot of it came down to realising i wasn't using a data USB cable to connect to beta flight. its still not working but Im hoping I'm gonna get there someday!
I'm having a problem. have evo sp f3 board, and turnigy evolution. I'm sure its wired properly. have serial rx on uart 2 configured sbus. it binds properly, but under the receiver tab all the pitch, roll yaw etc. is blank. no colors, nothing moves. what am i missing? do i have to set up aux channels under the modes tab?
I would have found it more useful Sunday when I set my first quad up and did the maiden flight... More tutorials on stuff like Blheli configurator and how to get a F3 board into boot loader mode and how to upgrade/update the firmware on the FC and ESC's... Plus some short explanations on Dshot, one shot (Josh Bardwell is way to long winded on his videos) and tutorial on flashing the ESC's would be great for beginners as well... as a first time pilot on the weekend Project Blue Falcon was an awesome source for great info... But unfortunately he is no longer with us... With your skills in how you present yourself and the way you make content Stew you would do well with easy tutorials on basics for beginners... Great work and thanks...
I just got an eachine novice 2 but when i bind everything the rx on my fsi6 blinks and the drone beeps, but i can still fly, but with beeping, please help and everytime i want to bind the rx it says that it has bound but one second later it starts beeping again
Binding a Flyegg 100 to a flysky i6. Where can I adjust the initial prop throttle. Once I arm they start to ramp up. Also, the motors seem to spike and hold high throttle from time to time. Any ideas?
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! SO MANY GREAT TUTORIALS! Can you recommend a simulator for the computer to practice with my goggles and controller before taking the drone out?
I am so new at this that I am not even sure what the lingo means.I don't even know what receiver to get for what drones :-( Is there any links you can share for fpv newbs .
Hi Stu, Wondering if you could do a video on the best fpv beginners kit, including absolutely everything i will need. My budget is 1000 dollars. Im starting from scratch, so would be handy. I am sure there are many others who would like this. Matt
Yessssss perfect timing stu :-) :-) :-) my mkron transmitter & receiver turned up today so I'm officially in the mix for some line of sight flight!!!!! :-) my next move is goggles I'd say the fatshark will be the choice for me. Lol it's funny I've been trying to analyze yours and grumpy trevs heads and guess how my bonce will fit hahaha the things we do :-) :-)
JR B if the flight controller lights up and the esc's beep when you plug in a lipo then the pdb still works, you have to upgrade the drivers on your computer. Here are some videos that might help -th-cam.com/video/m4ygG6Y5zXI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Ur_mU7Eu69E/w-d-xo.html
I seen in a different video that the yaw/throttle/roll/pitch in the recriver tab need to be centered on 1500, lowest point 1000 and highest point 2000. I get them centred but roll seems to drop between 1497-1500 and the 3d model has movment which apparently results in the flyer fighting that movment in an actual real drone flight, can you provide any info on this?
Commycruza get it to sit as close to 1000,1500 and 2000 has you can. (it usually only will drift around the centre point though). Most people can't get it to sit on 1500 and just sit there so that's nothing to worry about. Flickering plus and minus 3 or 4 points each side is ok. If yours is say, drifting to 1497 to 1503 then just set up a deadband of 3 on the gui page. This will tell the flight controller to ignore that flicker as uncommanded inputs.
Trouble shooting fc, esc,motors when something goes wrong with a bnf red light on fc,one motor not spinning poor video signal blah blah blah I could go on ty for the vids and the passion started ripping a lil more then a year ago cause I watched one of your episodes thousands later idk how I'm still married😁💑🤔🤔🤔
Hey stu i have bought a wizard but the fc wont find my reciever with is bound so i would think that the receiver or the flightcontroller is broken but the leds on fc and receiver work correctly
Hey stew I've built the upgraded version of your 99 dollar quad build, when I go to connect the spf3 to clean flight or beta flight it fails to open port. Do you have any suggestions?
I have a batman 200 with a frsky fx plus receiver when I try to bind I get a solid red and solid green light. This is my first real drone and im lost if anyone can help?
My Flysky I6s bound fine, but now it does 3 beeps and flashes at me. :/ edit: must be the voltage alarm, since I'm using a battery at storage voltage for testing :D oddly I only registered thumbstick input for a second and haven't been able to since :/
Thanks for showing this video , I was signed up to the developers on github I did not know I ask to use clean flight to set up my $99 build from stew at UAVfutres and they set me up trying to solve issues on the github site they thought I was a computer programmer or something they flagged my account I had to explain it was a mistake it all worked out but they were emailing all issues to me I still have to clean my comp but I love and try to see all your videos I just am a $1 month just want to help stew I hope you get it from the patrion place
Stu. Great work. One other reference that will help newcommers is the Kopis 1 manual. ( files.banggood.com/2016/12/Holybro%20KOPIS%201%20Manual%20v1.1-0828.pdf ) . It was largely written by Joshua Bardwell and has sections on Betaflight installation and configuration, receiver binding and end point setting. May be worth adding to the description (and as a popup) as a written reference to all the points you mentioned.
Let me know if you found this useful and would like more beginner guides to help people get flying. Also drop a comment or a like if you found the video helpful. Happy flying.
Always helpful Love you and Grumpy Trev His videos are Cool To.
I would so much love to have had that video when I was building the 99$ upgraded build ^^

Perfect timing. I just finished building your $99 upgraded build today.
Kevan Killion I finished early August and only get a few moments to fly...the drone is super fast imo..enjoy...tough too I used Martian ii frame..
Yea I did build my quad exsept the better how to build made my quad look like trash
Very useful - I'd forgotten you have to hold the bind button down on that radio. Watched your video and quickly pulled the radio out the bin where I'd thrown it day before lol
I really enjoy these videos. Because I really just getting in to the hobby
I have been waiting for this video forever!
I think these videos will be great for someone like my self, especially with u using the turnigy evolution which I own, thanks man!!!
@ uavfutures thanks man im just starting out and love hearing that you are making a beginners guide and i wanted to know if you knew how to make a drone safe to fly when there is snow on the ground for i live in montana and its about to snow
I can never get my fc to connect to Betaflight this is causing mt to severely lose hope for this hobby can any kind soul bother to help?
Yes I found this useful. More beginner stuff would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the great vids.
Thanks. Yes, that is one of the first challenges. You skipped the software install process which is tricky the first time. I am only two steps ahead of this video; so, make and publish more like this one.
Omg yes finally the video I've been waiting for!

Awesome videos please keep them coming I am new to fpv drones and these help so much !
Great video! It doesn't look like you have the latest update for your Turnigy Evolution...
Thank you for this. I'm waiting for my Turnigy Evolution to come in the mail. I have a Mob7... now just need Goggles. Please keep making these videos

the runcam swift 2 has a great easy osd
For the newer kwad guys quite useful, do a few more of these bad boys
Yes very useful, please do more beginner guides for us noobs
this may sound dumb but i just bought a furibee darkmax w/frsky reciever and need to know if the turningy evolution will bind to it?
Nice job - what about setting the endpoints and midpoints?
thx for the guide. i thought it would need a professional to get my drone going.thx. plz do more beginner guides.
Big thanks Stu, can you do one on bl hello as well ( changing motor direction), Thanks for helping a newbie.
I find this video very useful this problem was making me trying to think if i continue with the hobby or not and you have help me resolve it
Hey man. I built the upgraded kit
I have a flysky i6. It has binded with the receiver but when I go to the receiver tab in cleanflight the parameters dont move. What could be the cause of this?
same problem
Yeah I have the same problem but found out that I bus will not work with the subs board so I brought this transmitter and hopefully it works
Got my receiver talking to my drone! finally..a lot of it came down to realising i wasn't using a data USB cable to connect to beta flight. its still not working but Im hoping I'm gonna get there someday!
Definitely, more of the same please buddy... great work Stu!!
thanks for this video. btw what happened to the fpv goggles that you are giving away? is it done already?
I went through all these steps but I still can’t control my motors on FLYSKY
Same
I'm having a problem. have evo sp f3 board, and turnigy evolution. I'm sure its wired properly. have serial rx on uart 2 configured sbus. it binds properly, but under the receiver tab all the pitch, roll yaw etc. is blank. no colors, nothing moves. what am i missing? do i have to set up aux channels under the modes tab?
I would have found it more useful Sunday when I set my first quad up and did the maiden flight...

Nice! Will help alot when i decide what drone to buy.. ordered the tyrant s. But didnt get it.. got my money back anyway😁. Thnx
In the link for the flight controler, what board is the right one? Whats the difference?
Very helpful. More please for us new guys. Thanks!
can you do the same bjt with the flysky i6 ??
Ezequiel Guyot im wondering too
I just got an eachine novice 2 but when i bind everything the rx on my fsi6 blinks and the drone beeps, but i can still fly, but with beeping, please help and everytime i want to bind the rx it says that it has bound but one second later it starts beeping again
Quick question i purchased a eachine wizard x220s what is the best receiver and transmitter to use? And can i use any or does it matter thanks
Binding a Flyegg 100 to a flysky i6. Where can I adjust the initial prop throttle. Once I arm they start to ramp up. Also, the motors seem to spike and hold high throttle from time to time. Any ideas?
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! SO MANY GREAT TUTORIALS! Can you recommend a simulator for the computer to practice with my goggles and controller before taking the drone out?
Hy steew, why as soon as i open my taranis qx 7 my betaflight disconnect my quad.
Hi uav for pnp race drones Can I use a spektrum transmitter and receiver to run it would love a response thx.
Thanks mate mate great information I got that transmitter coming in the mail
Excellent Stu , u. Made it so simple tnx 👍🏻
"Uploaded 17 seconds ago". I don't think I've ever been that early.
Zerro hahaha cool
Do you have info to bind this radio to a durafly tomahawk wing .with turnigy ia6 reciever .
I like the vids exsept I think u should go into detail with all the types of things like sbus, ibus ceral type exc
How do you install the drivers on a Mac? I've seen Joshua Bardwells videos but he is on windows
I am so new at this that I am not even sure what the lingo means.I don't even know what receiver to get for what drones :-( Is there any links you can share for fpv newbs .
What receiver will i need for the evo when ordering my Eachine QX65?
Can you please let me know how can i connect Emax tiny hawk to turnigy evaluation ?
Nice Job, awesome tutorial!
THX! I just got a transmitter and im building my 100$ drone.
found it useful indeed ..you made it look very easy LOL
Nice. Wondered about beta flights configured etc.
...yet to solder up my rig, but this was a major concern.
Hi Stu,
Wondering if you could do a video on the best fpv beginners kit, including absolutely everything i will need. My budget is 1000 dollars. Im starting from scratch, so would be handy. I am sure there are many others who would like this.
Matt
not possible for $100
UAVfutures 1000
Coppertop FPV Aus dollars, however I mean I need everything, top to toe. Hence I think it would make a good vid for Stu to look into.
Awesome vid 👍 hopefully fix my new build 👍
Yessssss perfect timing stu :-) :-) :-) my mkron transmitter & receiver turned up today so I'm officially in the mix for some line of sight flight!!!!! :-) my next move is goggles I'd say the fatshark will be the choice for me. Lol it's funny I've been trying to analyze yours and grumpy trevs heads and guess how my bonce will fit hahaha the things we do :-) :-)
Awesome video stu love this receiver radio combo
I have not been able to hook the $ 99 Drone Upgrade model to Cleanflight or Betaflighght
me 2 ....
JR B i would recommend to watch joshua bardwell’s video, his vids are sooo helpful.
JR B You probably have to upgrade the drivers on your computer
I hope I did not ruin the PDB
JR B if the flight controller lights up and the esc's beep when you plug in a lipo then the pdb still works, you have to upgrade the drivers on your computer. Here are some videos that might help -th-cam.com/video/m4ygG6Y5zXI/w-d-xo.html

Hi
All that is done, everything gets movement, looks just like yours at the end of the video.. however, it will not arm..
I seen in a different video that the yaw/throttle/roll/pitch in the recriver tab need to be centered on 1500, lowest point 1000 and highest point 2000.
I get them centred but roll seems to drop between 1497-1500 and the 3d model has movment which apparently results in the flyer fighting that movment in an actual real drone flight, can you provide any info on this?
Commycruza get it to sit as close to 1000,1500 and 2000 has you can. (it usually only will drift around the centre point though). Most people can't get it to sit on 1500 and just sit there so that's nothing to worry about. Flickering plus and minus 3 or 4 points each side is ok. If yours is say, drifting to 1497 to 1503 then just set up a deadband of 3 on the gui page. This will tell the flight controller to ignore that flicker as uncommanded inputs.
Gday Stu can i just say m8 your a quad god ha ha. Nice one m8 couldn't get my lizard 95 to bind now it's happy flying all day long.Cheers again m8
Trouble shooting fc, esc,motors when something goes wrong with a bnf red light on fc,one motor not spinning poor video signal blah blah blah I could go on ty for the vids and the passion started ripping a lil more then a year ago cause I watched one of your episodes thousands later idk how I'm still married😁💑🤔🤔🤔
If your using Spektrum how do you know if its 1024 or 2048
My Flight Controller is just blinking red and the receiver section of beatflight does not react - please help
"check your manual or have a bit of a Google" :) goodday stu, thanks for the content as always
Goodmorning Stew✌
Hey stu i have bought a wizard but the fc wont find my reciever with is bound so i would think that the receiver or the flightcontroller is broken but the leds on fc and receiver work correctly
Harrie Sukkel i bought a wizard x220 and my xm+ reciver worked fine. Still need to finish betaflight stuff then hopefully it flys lol
R u using flysky/frsky/spektrum?
allready fixed it was a super weird issue had to reflash the board and then it notest the receiver for some reason
thx i have my quad unprogrammed for ages XD have been flying RTF for so long
Hey stew I've built the upgraded version of your 99 dollar quad build, when I go to connect the spf3 to clean flight or beta flight it fails to open port. Do you have any suggestions?
joe dougherty I had major problems and it was all about getting a for sure cable that worked and trying every driver combo. Mac and pc I had problems.
Toby Bautert that's what I had thought too. Picked up the right cable. Ended up being the drivers on my pc. Just need to flash it!
I have a batman 200 with a frsky fx plus receiver when I try to bind I get a solid red and solid green light. This is my first real drone and im lost if anyone can help?
My Flysky I6s bound fine, but now it does 3 beeps and flashes at me. :/
edit: must be the voltage alarm, since I'm using a battery at storage voltage for testing :D
oddly I only registered thumbstick input for a second and haven't been able to since :/
I cant get my tyro99 to work in betaflight i click on receiver turn on controller nothing happens everything else works fine need help.
can I use evolution as a planes controller??
We want more helpful videos!!
I have fluctuations in my signal bar of receiver setup how to repair it ?
you should test the geprc mark 2
Thanks for showing this video , I was signed up to the developers on github I did not know I ask to use clean flight to set up my $99 build from stew at UAVfutres and they set me up trying to solve issues on the github site they thought I was a computer programmer or something they flagged my account I had to explain it was a mistake it all worked out but they were emailing all issues to me I still have to clean my comp but I love and try to see all your videos I just am a $1 month just want to help stew I hope you get it from the patrion place
Stu. Great work. One other reference that will help newcommers is the Kopis 1 manual. ( files.banggood.com/2016/12/Holybro%20KOPIS%201%20Manual%20v1.1-0828.pdf ) . It was largely written by Joshua Bardwell and has sections on Betaflight installation and configuration, receiver binding and end point setting. May be worth adding to the description (and as a popup) as a written reference to all the points you mentioned.
