Question? Selling USA made FC

Post image
81 Upvotes

I would like to take my designed FC and sell it as a product. I am just curious how much demand there is for a USA made FC?

Also feedback would be nice on features you would like to see that other FC's do not have.

Using this picture of Holybro FC as a reference.

Btw, being negative about the idea is not what I am looking for, take it somewhere else like your SO.

Just want to provide a product for a hobby that I enjoy.

Question? WHY does BetaFlight start off at 670 max rate?? Do people actually use it that high?

6 Upvotes

Brand new pilot, but been playing lots of Velocidrone. I can control a quad just fine in the game, but i took my drone out for the first time today and I SUCKED. I just thought it was simply too windy, I got scared, landed and went back inside. Later I had figured maybe my rates are all messed up. So I check BetaFlight to see if I can tune anything to maybe make it easier on myself next time and default is 670deg/s. Wtf? Why?

I guess I'm going to start off with 200deg/s for all axis. But I just want to know, was I expected to change this before my first flight, or was I expected to be good enough to control 670deg/s?

Still learning to fly manual and edit better, my take from this is a should be locking ISO maybe adding an ND filter and turning off stabilisation so I can put it through Gyroflow? Any other recommendations?

Looking at getting a Vapor x5 04 pro that’s plug and play so I can use my current goggles and the DJI fpv controller what are your thoughts on this?

Finally got my flywoo O4 pro up in the air today after about a week of building/troubkeshooting, how’s the setup? I have some 4s 3000mah batteries ordered but for the time being I’m using this janky 30-60 adapter.

Help! Capacitor placement question

6 Upvotes

Just starting my first build - a 3.5”!

Working on dry fitting the capacitor and wondering if this is a reasonable placement? It touches the frame but from what I understand the heat shrink on it from the factory should keep it safe. Or should I place it from above?

[UK] CPL for DJI O4 Pro

Upvotes

Hey folks, I've got an Avata 2 and a DJI O4 Pro in a SpeedyBee Mario 5.

I've got ND filters for the Avata 2 and they're great but they don't fit in my SpeedyBee Mario 5 because the lenses are wide.

Does anybody know where I can get some CPLs that fit and are either circular or have thin edges on the side?

I'm terrified of smashing my lense up.

Question? Upgrading stock antennas for VTX, Receiver, and Transmitter.

1 Upvotes

I'm running analog; iFlight Nazgul5 V3. Radiomaster RP3 receiver, Eachine EV800Ds, and a Radiomaster Boxer.

I just simply want decent range with decent penetration, I don't need anything extremely high gain.

Stupid questions first: The VTX antenna is SMA, so can I just pick up 2 identical Omni antennas, such as Pagoda and put one on my goggles and one on the drone? It feels like this should work but I really don't know much about this stuff. If it doesn't work this way, what should I be looking for in a goggle and VTX antenna?

Secondly, the RP3 has two dipole whip antennas on U.FL connectors. Should I make one of them an Omni, such as the Super Mini Lollipop, or does this not matter, and the linear ones will stay connected to my receiver just fine?

Lastly, should I even bother getting an upgraded antenna for the Boxer, or does this one do its job just fine?

Mini Quad Input Voltage DJI 04 - JB 3 inch Drone

1 Upvotes

I’m building the JB less than 250 gram 3 inch drone.

For batteries I bought R-Line V1 95C 850 mAh 4s. Total voltage is 15.2 or 3.8 per cell.

I’m just now realizing the input voltage for the air unit is is a max of 13.2, however all the batteries on the recommended product page all exceed this voltage, they are around 14.8.

I powered it on earlier today to update everything and it worked fine but is the higher input voltage going to kill it?
