"i dont have any flux and i dont care"??! Dude im sorry for doing the exact thing you said but...flux is EXTREMELY helpful in some situations. Also great video, thank you so much!
@@Komet_fpvmaybe your solder wire has flux in if from the factory. Or the mix it’s made from is easier than most to solder with. But generally speaking, trying to solder without can be very frustrating, sometimes solder won’t even melt until flux is added.
You the man! I just built my 7 inch and I enjoyed this build video. Great info and also great angles to see the work and process. Going to be putting gps on mine so I can rip in Madeira here in a few months 🤜🏼
I dont have a drone but I saw a guy that set this rescue stuff in the software many times, he took the computer to the field to keep change. That shut all the way up is that min rescue alt. NICE VIDEO
Nice build. One tip, I’d recommend putting heat shrink in the leads for the capacitor. I mounted mine the same way as you did and it shorted out on the frame.
The pointy magnetic things that came with your soldering plate/extra hands, are used to hold a pcb. You can put 4 of them in a square and hold your ESC or FC through the mounting holes. Makes soldering a PCB a little easier sometimes
The Immortal T antenna will work for ELRS, but you might not have the same performance because crossfire is 915mhz and ELRS is 2.4ghz, at least that was what I was told by some ELRS guy, so I use the TBS Tracer antennas, because Tracer is 2.4GhZ.
I was worried about that and thought the same thing. But so far in my testing the link has been solid out to 4 miles (will post that video soon). During my turn around at 4 miles I had a micro failsafe flash bad rx or rx loss but didn't seem to last long enough for stage 1 or 2. The drone kept moving fine. other than that I haven't had any issues thankfully.
@@andrewmedia3568 DO NOT use the immortal T with your 2.4 elrs receiver! You are slowly burning out the telemetry transmitter on the receiver! They are pretty strong, up to around 100mW and that is slowly burning it.
If you're looking for a longer ELRS antenna check out the Foxeer ELRS antenna it comes in a 150mm/ 6in version. Used it on my last 7" build and it works great.
Great video. Im building one based off your guide. What's the least amount I can do to test the motors? Want to male sure it's working before i continue to build it.
well really you need at least the motors soldered to the ESC and the flight controller connected so you can plug in a smoke stopper to protect from possible shorts. Once you did your first plug in with the smoke stopper and it powers on without blowing the fuse, then you can plug in just the battery and go into beta flight to set motor/ESC protocol and set motor position and direction. once that is done your good as far as motors go. you can always de solder and re solder to fix mistakes.
@@andrewmedia3568 I forgot to order one of those. I'm doing it now. Also do you know the length of the four screws that mounts the ESC and flight controller? I don't think those screws came with the kit. I subscribed to your channel.

43:05 Duuuuuude.... I had my Fingers messed up from that kind of Start. Just dont do it, you never know if the gyro sends out corrupted data while arming. We had multiple Death rolls right after arming, due to Gyro shenanigangs, and since have established a 10m safe zone fpr starting. We had to learn the hard way through multiple mild and 2 really severe cuts.
The frame comes with braces but not hardware to take into account the added carbon? What a jip lol Solid build video. Good luck on your future flights friend!
Nice build, I’m using the same fc/esc. How did you connect the 03 up? The wiring harness from the 03 is not the right one for plug and play. The wires I got from the fc doesn’t fit the back of the 03. thanks
Yeah t-motor has a weird plug on this fc. I had to special order one from rotor riot. rotorriot.com/collections/drone-accessories/products/avatar-to-fc-cable
Yes definitely. Remember that’s 50 amps per motor. So 200amps total. And depending on motor kv and battery voltage you won’t even come close to hitting that max. Most batteries can’t supply that for more than 1/2 of a second and then voltage sags. 50 amp esc is plenty if your motor kv and battery voltage are correct. You can use the same motor kv I did 1500kv and 6s or look at other 7” long range bnf, what motors they use and what input voltage they say to use. Hope this makes sense and helps.
Thanks for the video, did you make any changes to the listing of this equipment you used? any new configuration? I want to build a long range 7 racer, with air 03 dji! hug
I have since swapped the frame because I crashed and broke the frame and couldn't get a new one in time. I made a video of swapping all the parts to the new frame and I think the new frame is better than this one. thats the only changes if made. th-cam.com/video/xZk0Hpctw9I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=iT2NF_xEtqYqw-Pu
Why are you using crossfire antennas on elrs 2.4ghz? Otherwise it is a great build! If it has micro failsafes at 4miles, it is not good. My 250mw elrs goes out to at least 8 miles without any issue.
well all the 2.4 antennas are very short, maybe the micro failsafe is from my antenna placement. ill never need to go past about 5 miles otherwise i wont make it back, cant carry enough battery. you must be referring to a fixed wing at 8 miles out.
@@andrewmedia3568 Why bother with a long range control link if you're going to handicap it by using the wrong antennas and detune your radio? You can get 2.4Ghz antennas with longer leads. Use them.
@@Invid72 I have 0 range issues. I’m still using the same RX and antenna today, it works great. I’ve got some videos of me flying in the mountains if you wanna see😁👍.

Hi, if I'm using Dji Goggles WITH a dji controller together with a dji 03 air unit.. do I still need to purchase a receiver like the crossfire nano with mortal T antennas ? Thanks for your help.
stock Beta flight 4.4 or 4.5 should be ok. But I made some minor adjustments to the PIDS. I think the filtering might be stock beta flight. Im using a different frame now. The foxeer mega 7. I posted a video about the frame swap and have some mountain flying videos posted as well. Its all on my channel.
@@Oguras_fpv Interesting, I have never messed with Motor frequency on any of my quads. I never felt the need to anyway. Maybe some bardwell videos could help?? or you could email him. Sorry I cant help more with the issue.
Sure thanks for ty help anyway i find many people which have run the same setup without problrm so i should look where is problrm maybe in hardware thank you regards
Doesn't the o3 have a reciever on it? If i just want to use dji goggles,controller and air unit, would i still need to attach a receiver, also does your build provide longer range than the stock dji ecosystem
Yes the DJI O3 has its own internal receiver. you don't need an external receiver if your going to use the DJI controller 2 with the O3. Running ELRS at 1W radio output will give your longer receiver range, video range is the same regardless of your radio eceiver.
Thank you so much, would you trust the stock dji products with flying around mountains? what is the max range you think you can actually get out of the stock dji products?@@andrewmedia3568
Yes and no, Technically different antennas have higher or lower gain, higher gain being better for long range. But in my experience thats not what gets you better video range. What the longer antenna does do for range is insures that they wont get blocked by the quads frame or battery when flying far away and making turns. That way the antenna always has direct "line of sight" back to the goggles.
hey i was wondering if i buy a iflight Evoque with 03 air unit to use it with my dji controller 2 can i get it with the tbs receiver just for when i get a tbs module at a later date? like will it still be able to bind to my controller 2 when i get it with tbs as easy as i would with the controller 2? thank you :)
To quickly answer your question yes you can. That bing said, if you buy the TBS version once you get the drone you will need to hook up the O3 using all 6 wires from the O3 plug. that will be RX, TX, 10v/vBat, G, SBUS and signal/ground. The extra 2 wires SBUS and signal/ground are really what is needed to use the DJI controller. The TBS version might come without those wires hooked up or the wires missing from the plug. so you might want to buy an extra O3 plug that has all 6 wires. Of course you will need to change Betaflight settings for the DJI controller to work and then again when you switch to TBS. There are tons of videos explaining how to wire the O3 for using the controller 2 and how to set up in Betaflight.
@andrewmedia3568 I mean I run my vrx with no antennas in my house .. it work to a point. I'm really really curious the range you'd get at 1w. I seen them go 100km on elrs24 and didn't even lose telemetry till 80km . So curious if you could still make it like 15km something reasonable
I wish my rekon7 had more room for longer battery. I modded my rekon7 and now im thinking of bigger motors. Was looking at 2808 or 2809 but i want lower kV maybe 1100kV
@andrewmedia3568 yea I'm just going max flight time. I'm patient I don't need to go fast. Just slower if high winds. Also I'm not running 7" props anymore. Meant to post video on it years ago. Never did. I'll do it this year 🤣
@Fpv416 oh I can post the video I never finished. But I ended up buying a bigger frame. I still have the rekon frame and motors. But that new one with new frame sank in the river and I couldn't find it. Got cut up bad trying
@@divingfalconfpv4602so sorry to hear about that. I would even gladly watch your unfinished video for the modification of rekon7 if you post it. Regards
@@Matthew-dr1tb that all really depends on what battery voltage your using and the weight of the quad. 2750kv is high speed 4s, too high for 6s. But depending on your drone weight and battery mah you could do medium range. Typically you want a bit lower kv for efficiency when flying long range.
Yo bro, just so you know crossfire antennas are 915 and ERS is 2.4 just so you know that will decrease your range in reliability. I did the same exact thing thinking that it would help but my buddies called me out on it and I want to help you.
Oh yeah I'm very aware of the antennas. I have had 50+ people tell me that its impossible to use these antennas and that it wont work. but sometimes you gotta break the rules lol. I have flown 4 miles out with these, multiple mountain flights in the 2-3 mile range and quite a bit of overall flight time, never had an issue. it works great. 🤘
With the two 6s li-ion 21700 cell packs running together in parallel I get about 15-18 min flights depending on how im flying. total of 8000Mah. if im running it pretty hard about 10-12 minutes.
definitely the wrong antenna for ELRS, the Immortal T are wider in length for a reason, they tuned for 915/864, ELRS is narrower because they are tuned for 2.4. You may find it still work, but definitely not the right choice cause you're maxing out the receiver's output power and it will slowly burning it.
You have a shitty iron, my joints look way better 😂 No but seriously get something like a ts101 or a pinecil, I tried soldering with a hardware store soldering iron as well and came out looking exactly like your ESC wires I'm a complete beginner but I can solder 12 awg wires with no issue whatsoever, and they look absolutely perfect. The trick is a good iron + ton of flux I hope this helps! Also I'm super grateful for this video, I love my rekon 7 ❤
Depends on the parts you buy. But generally yes you save between 200-400$ building your own. Look at the price of an iflight chimera pro 7” they are like 1000$. You could do this same build now for like 6-700$.

You have a shitty iron, my joints look way better 😂
No but seriously get something like a ts101 or a pinecil, I tried soldering with a hardware store soldering iron as well and came out looking exactly like your ESC wires
I'm a complete beginner but I can solder 12 awg wires with no issue whatsoever, and they look absolutely perfect. The trick is a good iron + ton of flux
I hope this helps! Also I'm super grateful for this video, I love my rekon 7 ❤
how much can this puppy carry - anyone?
total drone weight with two 21700 cell 6s packs is about 5 pounds and it will fly about 12 miles round trip with that weight.
Hey u have a video abt the li ion pack?
Yes just haven’t finished the edit yet. It will be up soon.
HEY man did you save money bye doing this
Depends on the parts you buy. But generally yes you save between 200-400$ building your own. Look at the price of an iflight chimera pro 7” they are like 1000$. You could do this same build now for like 6-700$.
thank very much @@andrewmedia3568
Can I watch your latest LR video?
I tried to click on it, but it said that it was a "private" video.
I'm just another LR quad experimentalist, interested in other's discoveries.
Thanks in advance!
I'm almost to 20KM.
Using TBS CRSF and HD-Zero Freestyle VTX.👍
Unfortunately that video is unavailable now. Sorry I’ll have some other LR videos posted soon.

I really appreciate that very much.
I too am learning LR quad flight.
Got some great stuff here and looking forward to surfing "Mt.Olympus", all the way to the glacier! That's a long way too!
😃👍
never use a ball end Allen key..
I like to be risky 😄
no kidding. that wrong antenna would make my balls sweat. almost fail safe a few times! cant trust RTH to save you from a failed link@@andrewmedia3568
Your soldering is sucks. That negative joint is unacceptable. You shouldn't be doing a build video, there is so many things wrong with this build is crazy. Who tf puts nuts on bolts then into motors just because you dont have 14mm loong ones?! 😂
yeah crazy! all my drones work great and ive built so many. I have some build videos with 60,000 plus views, im terrible at this. People should go watch your 2 year old trash quality videos. Im sure that will help people learn to build quads. go ahead and check out my other build videos im sure you will enjoy them. 🤣
@andrewmedia3568 i dont have two year old trash video, and because TH-cam says you have 60k views it doesn't mean you actually have 60k views. If all your drones fine, you are lucky, your soldering still sucks.
