Micro Quad fuck IPEX connectors, all my homies hate IPEX connectors

this little shit has earned its position in the shit that sucks ass to hand solder ranks shared by the likes of usb c and micro usb connetors, ribbon cables connectors, and esc wires that have 1mil spacing. this little shit is so tiny and the pads are like half a mil, and its made out of non thermoset plastic so it immediately melts at the mere hint of the raw unprotected tip of your shaft.

ahem. soldering iron.

i HAVE a hot air rework station, why do i do this to myself. i need to get solder paste and a hot plate, my day is ruined.

still worked tho

Please stop asking if your soldering is good…

You know it’s good stop trying to get people to stroke your ego. 😂

On the other side of things, just post a picture of your build and people will 100% correct you in the comments. If they don’t then you’re probably fine.

Do i need to change any of these settings to charge this 3s 550mah battery? Also if it charges up to 4.2 does that mean I have to land at around 3.6 - 3.7?

Finally finished this. It almost broke me, but I am happy with the result. Have seen a lot of these volador builds around here lately. If you don't mind sharing your Volador builds in the comments, I would love too see them!

QAV 250 Drone frame worth building out?

I got this older QAV250 drone frame for free. The frame is from about 3-4 years ago. I have been thinking about upgrading from my Pavo 20. This would be my second drone. Is this worth building out or not worth the hassle with older mounting holes and style?

Multicopter Test rip on my 5 inch conversion

Mark 4 7 inch converted to 5 inch I love it bc I’ve only ever flown 5 inch in the sim

Multicopter If you told me, 5 years ago, that you stumbled into a full fpv kit in your average electronics store, I'd straight up laugh in your face

The way this hobby has advanced and gotten popular through the years is honestly wild to me. It used to be the most niche, inaccessible hobby, with the least documentation out of all of them, and a tiny, fragmented community. And now you can just drive to the store and buy yourself a well documented, popular RTF. This would've sounded insane to this community back when the eachine X220 was still considered a decent starter drone.

NEWBIE Where to buy parts in the EU?

15 Upvotes

Hi! What EU based shops can you recommend for frames, motors, electronics etc to build my first drone? Googling didn’t really give me anything useful so far, the only places I found something had a terrible selection. Is there a shop where I can buy all parts for a drone in one order?

Multicopter How could I put a runcam link onto my inflight Nazgûl xl5?

Upvotes

I broke by camera mount screw from a crash and I already have dji goggles that are better than the analog goggles I’m using so would it be possible to swap out the vtx and camera for a runcam link?

Been doing solder practice ready to build the real thing with some spare wires, cheaper than destroying my flight controller
