sub 250g build next! :D
I had a good time building your 7 inch build, eager to try this one too. Love the FC choice this time
Did u use the fc and esc from Tsido ? And not the speedybee
@@fabian99688 for the 7 inch I used the ysido. it worked fine for me, but I wouldn't recommend it any more because it doesn't support servo control. I'm going with speedybee now
I'm so thrilled to have found your channel!
It's crazy I built a 7" and been hooked ever since. Built a 8 skipped 9 and now I'm gonna build a 10.... I may build a 10" x8 I wanna build a monster this time. I'm definitely gonna a take advantage of the conflict pricing thats out there.I barely fly my 5"anymore I just like the way a big quad flies. So I'm sure I'm gonna love this video. I haven't watched it yet but I can't wait...
Just a few notes as I have built this (previous to the video).
My max fly time so far is around 15 min and in that I covered 8 miles (in circles). Truth is I could have gone another mile easy- this was just cruising so your milage may vary.
The peak amp draw on mine was 80 amps for a lift off which the 60a speedybee did fine but you won't want to do that continous- the lift off generated 10g force so this really does get up and go.
The most important fact- this is a 4 pound beast and crashes are nasty. Do not fly as your first build unless you got at least a football field of space around you as it will do serious damage while going 100 mph.
Aliexpress really does have good deals on parts, it's just the shipping is sooo long!
Good advice about making sure the capacity will fit where you want it. The shorter you can keep your capacitor leads the better protection it will provide. Solder you cap as close as practical to the power pads.
Thanks for all the great suggestions in parts. I'm only seven minutes into the video so I haven't decided if I will build one or not. I'll need to see how long your flight times are before I decide.
You mention thread locker around ten minutes in. The first time I built my own quad, I didn't use thread locker. When I took the drone for the first test hover in my backyard, it looked like my drone was dripping wet. The "drips" were really screws falling out. Fortunately I managed to land before any of the motors came detached.
I also like to use connectors on my motors.
I like to have connectors for all the components since I like to experiment with different parts a lot. I use a lot of MX1.25 connectors since these are available both in male and female versions. I used to use standard 0.1" Dupont connectors but these are too big to be practical in a lot of my builds.
Thanks again for all the great suggestions.
Just the motors on my 10" were over $200! (T-Motor velox 3115 900kv) The fact that you built a 10" for the same price is pretty remarkable!
Good vid. Did look at these, would be good to see this frame tested properly especially with such thin arms, loaded up and dive tests would show wobbles, frame resonance and prop wash handling better.
I just want to fly and cruise FOREVER !
Awesome video, finally someone building stuf that's not tiny screamers or big ones that are just gucci namebrand
The time has come
Great video, very entertaining. Best regards
Nice finds! Now I need one.
It’s impressive no jello no wobbling this frame have pretty stiff arms wow
Great stuff man
You landed at 3.7v or 2300mah use , and still got 15 minutes? crazyy
thanks a lot. Great work
I was inspired by your 7 in build. Kept the clone frame, motors, props, vtx... but did a speedybee stack f4 60A with baro, betafpv superD true diversity receiver, my own red tpu 3d prints, hglrc gps + compas, foxeer 4 lolipop short sma antenna, and a iflight racecam r1 laying around.
For a GoPro mount, use the one from the Foxeer Aura 10. It fits perfectly. The mount for the Rekon 7 fits as well with a bit of heat and stretching. (I don't know what happened to my original comment so I left it again.)
Thanks I will try to see if I can find a stl for the Aura 10. I tried making my own 3d print (can briefly be seen in the failed ESC crash) but I didn't like it
@@hoardersam10 I can't remember if I got the prints for mine off of Foxeer's website or printables or thingiverse, but it was one of those 3 places. They're certainly available. I'm almost positive it was from Foxeer's website.
@@hoardersam10 yeah I just checked, there is a file download under the "downloads" tab on the Aura 10 product page.
nice voice. good job
Should 3d print toroidal props on that☝️💥💫❤
Nice video Sam, but I believe I didn’t saw any pid tuning. Did you put a preset on there or just stock betaflight pid’s?
Stock betaflight PIDs for this build
Thank u very intrresting!
Nice😎
OMG, I had built almost the exact same build, just with 3110 motors 900kv. I haven't gotten something setup correctly as I'm getting tons of jello in my analog system.
Should have flashed Bluejay ESC firmware and let these 3115 motors sing ;-)
hi sam..thz for the video...i wish to know on how to fix 2 camera on drone for analog or digital......
I bought the parts, and we will see how this goes.
Honestly speaking I’ve been watching and building my own quads for about 4 years now ( within those 4 years I have only built 5 quads so I’m not a pro or anything like that) and a lot of times I’ve either lost track of how to build them from beginning to end or just completely forgot how to build or program them but I’ve been watching Joshua Bardwells for about 6 years now and although he’s absolutely one of the best informative quad builders/programmers I’ve watched his videos (even the videos he makes for beginners) I find a little hard to follow because at his level he does expect that the viewer has some understanding of what he’s doing so he tends to jump ahead and skip over some steps that I would like to see more of explanation of how (and why) he arrived at a certain point in the build. Nothing against him but sometimes I get lost and no matter how many times I review that particular section of the video I still am lost as to how he moved on to the next point but with your videos it’s made clear step by step with not too much “Tech-na-bable” which makes it far easier to understand. Thank you. I love and appreciate your build videos.💯💯👍👍🙂
oh man I wanna see next video... and max speeed on this monster :D
so you give me no chose so Im subscribe you now
Hello the cheap esc that burned was that the 45 or 60 amp? Btw love the video
The burned ESC was a 60 amp :( I thought it would work
Going to clone this build but I'm subbing in the XL10 V6 10'' frame instead, will report how it goes :)
This is very, very cool. I'm wondering how you had a GoPro mounted for the takeoff with the failed ESC? From looking at 3D models available, I'm thinking that the existing STL for the Mark 4 5" GoPro mount can likely be extended to fit this frame? Thanks
I modified a stl I found and extended it to work with this frame, which ended up with me having to mount the battery at the bottom which is pretty sketchy. I'll see if I can post the STL up, but I'd do it at your own risk since the big battery on the bottom is a big safety risk
I bought a 8400mah upgrade energy lion battery for this build will it be ok.
No PIDs or Filters?
Betaflight stock PIDs that came with the Speedybee seem to be working OK for me
Was really hoping to see what a higher throttle % would look like lol
Some are real bad soldering joints that could get disconnected when high amp flow.
Great video! With this speedybee FC you don't need to solder. Just plug in the cam/vtx/GPS/ELRS using the supplied connectors.
Hi bro what is the maximum distance you can drive with this setups? And thank you for sharing I'm a new subscriber of your channel ❤
How much is the battery 6s?
Usually costs around $50-60 usd
Yo this is so sick! Inlove with this series. Keep it going bro! These are great videos. Any socials i could hit you up at?
Thanks! For now I just have my email in my youtube about info, no other socials yet
@@hoardersam10 i cant see your email, and it wont let me add mine. Otherwise i would hit you up! Id love to talk builds and learn more
@@DWilson01 samhoarder at gmail
@@hoardersam10 sentt
hi, great assembly. I ordered the same on Aliexpress. unfortunately the FC arrived with 5' settings could you give me your PID figures to have an eco and stable quad like you?
I used the default PIDs that came with the speedybee
you would think the bigger the drone then u will need a bigger amp rating on the esc comparted to a 5 inch. That is not the case because the 10 inch is more efficient than the 5 inch and pulls less amps.
Did you use presets pid or default pid?
Default PID
I ordered this frame over a month ago anticipating you doing this build and still haven't gotten it from AliExpress. I have everything but the frame.
Ali tracking says it's been at delivery station for over 3 weeks😢😢😢
it can take a long time sometimes, but 1 month is my average.
Did you have to change any of the filter settings? I just built one almost the same just the cheap stack that came with a kit.
Can you add a wiring diagram please
Added!
Can you make a video to make a 5insh drone for less than $150 or for?
I am planning on a ultra budget $100 5inch build!
This is very good I will be waiting for your video impatiently
Hello did you made some pid tuning on your build? could you share?
Stock PIDs that came with the speedybee
@@hoardersam10 thanks m8
How much does the drone weigh? How much does the battery weigh?
What batter is that?
Wire diagram.?
Just added!
Will the other 10 inch be a 200 dollar build?
The other one I am planning to build with the O3 air unit so the total cost will be a lot higher with the $180 O3
@@hoardersam10 i see, I think im gonna skip this 10 inch just because of the lack of a mount. If the other 10 inch is a decent price, then I think i may end up building that instead.
Hello, I want to ask a question. I want good, cheap drone glasses that can be attached to any drone from AliExpress. Can you tell me?
I like Eachine EV800D
w
I believe with a GoPro on top the props will be in the cam view - can anyone confirm? Otherwise i would try a built too...
Okay ill buy it off you for $200 when u are done. 😅
Do you think there's room for a gps and a buzzer.
Definitely lots of space
what goggles do you use ?
I use DJI Goggles V2 w/ digidaptor + AKK receiver
@@hoardersam10 do they work with analog?
Thanks for uploading! I want to make my first drone without any experience. Should I better do your 7 or 10 inch build?
7-inch would be a lot safer to start with
@@hoardersam10 why tho? I would have thought that 10 inch is easier because the building process is the same but 10 inch is flying slower which means a lower risk of crashes.
@@jaimelannister9933 Are you serious? What airfields do you fly at, so I can avoid them.
@@smika710 oh man. I assume you were born with perfect knowledge?
@@jaimelannister9933 It's a lot easier to injure yourself with larger props, so when learning to fly its best to stick with smaller drones. If you are brand new to flying, I'd recommend a tinywhoop like the mobula7. With tinywhoops you can crash and it just bounces back.
Technically a 10 inch is easier to fly than a tinywhoop but if you can fly the tinywhoop, you can fly anything
I'm now building the 7 inch build.... Now that i see the esc burned i m kinda scared, anyone who builded the previews one and it is ok?
Already build 8 inch with this frame just using esc 45 amp..it goes well got 11 km one way testing

It's kind of crazy that all these video tx are illegal and everyone just rolls with it.
illegal but its a pretty minor law since you can operate them legally with a ham licence
@@rowannadon7668 But then you have to operate under amateur radio rules which means announcing your call sign regularly. Maybe I'm just ignorant but I've never seen anyone address how to implement this. I guess if I tried it I'd have it showing on the OSD of the signal being transmited.
Its kind of crazy to me that people boot lick so hard they get told something isn't allowed and they roll with it. Fuck the feds i'll blast 5.8ghz @ 10watts during all my flights like i have been.
What distance can it fly without loosing the signal?
dependent on location of you and the drone, antenna and VTX you installed. No one is able to tell you that, only you can find out by doing testing at your desired flying location with your drone. If you have line of sight you can go very far like any drone, but like i said its situational.
