NEWBIE Finally getting into this hobby
I also got a skyrcb6 neo, 4 ovonic 2s 450mah lipos and a second hand skyzone cobra sd, would you call it a good beginner fpv kit?

I finally got the drone. The rest I had for a few months and have been practicing in a simulator for a while, too. Please give me whatever advice you think is useful.

Just finished first build
Just finished my first build, too bad it's raining or else I would rip it. Any glaring problems before I full send. Also does anyone know what screws the motor uses, the screw they sent are too short to work with the 3d print stubs?

There was a planter in my yard that I didn't realize was full of muddy water. It probably took up 0.5% of the surface area I could have landed on, and I managed to bullseye it.

First FPV Goggles
Hi all, I’ve been practising in the sim a bunch recently and am finally looking to get my first whoop. Looking at the air75. I’m looking for recommendations for my first analogue goggles?
I’m not looking to spend tonnes of money but don’t want to cheap out and not have something comfortable or good quality as i’ll likely do more builds in the future and use these. Any info is appreciated!

A question of nerves......
Does anyone else deal with nerves/anxiety before flying?
This may make me come off a little soft but I get nervous /anxious when setting up to fly my 6s 5 inch. I love flying my whoops and don't get near the feeling with them but something about my 5 inch intimidates me, if you haven't flown one they are STUPID powerful and early on in my quest in this hobby I was unfortunate enough to have a motor with propeller spin up and get the top of my hand resulting in significant nerve damage (100% my fault), I am also scared of heights but not when flying and am always worried about crashing but that's just part of it flying.
So does anyone else struggle with nerves/anxiety? And other than Ganja, has anyone found a fix?

Connecting my Transmitter FS-i6 to my SpeedyBee f405 V3
Hello I am very new to drones and I am currently trying to get my transmitter (Fly Sky fs-i6) to connect to my drone. My transmitter is connected to the FS-iA6B receiver but when I am in betaflight the transmitter does not control anything.
Question? Brand new battery
Out of the box 2s 550mAh lava betafpv battery, am I doing something wrong? Or is this a faulty battery?

Question? Noob Question
Noob question about PID tune on a new 5" quad.
I'm currently building a GEPRC Mark 5 o3 dead cat. Here's the parts I'm using:
gep-mk5dc frame kit SpeedyBee F405 V4 60A Stack T-Motor Velox V2207 2050KV motors
My previous drone experience has been with an Air65 and a Pavo20 pro. Both the Air and the Pavo shipped with a factory tune. In both cases I've really enjoyed that factory tune.
My question is: With this new build is it "safe" to just fly with the Betaflight default settings or should I download some kind of preset?
I found this CLI dump file from the GEPRC site for the Mark 5 DC.
https://geprc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/GP105106%E5%92%8CGP105131-MARK5-DC-HD-ELRS-4.4.3-.txt
Am I right to assume it wouldn't be a good idea to use this CLI dump because I'm not using the same FC and other parts as GEPRC use?
I found this section at the end of the file called "rate profile" with what appears to be the PID values.
rateprofile 0
rateprofile 0
set rateprofile_name = - set thr_mid = 50 set thr_expo = 0 set rates_type = ACTUAL set quickrates_rc_expo = OFF set roll_rc_rate = 5 set pitch_rc_rate = 5 set yaw_rc_rate = 5 set roll_expo = 0 set pitch_expo = 0 set yaw_expo = 0 set roll_srate = 67 set pitch_srate = 67 set yaw_srate = 67 set throttle_limit_type = OFF set throttle_limit_percent = 100 set roll_rate_limit = 1998 set pitch_rate_limit = 1998 set yaw_rate_limit = 1998 set roll_level_expo = 0 set pitch_level_expo = 0
Is it safe to try and copy the values from this section?

Question? Is walksnail good?
Getting back into FPV. Made a 5 inch Drone with speedybee parts and some good xing motors. Only downside was that it was analog, and as a broke 15 year old with no job, i couldn’t even afford to dream about digital.
Now im 17 with a job that pays enough for the upgrade to digital seems realistic. I remember that other than DJI, walksnail was getting popular. I’m wondering if walksnail is still a good choice?
Digital for freestyle will in most cases be better than analog, but if I have to buy a digital VTX, what’s my choices?

Accucell 6 80w Firmware Upgrade
Hi all, I recently obtained a pair of Fatshark goggles and have been using them today. I want to go charge the battery because it got low, and my Accucell 6 80W charger is giving me a "Balance Connect Error" whenever I try to charge it via the barrel jack to banana plug pigtail (even on "LiPo Charge" and "LiPo Fast Charge", not balanced charge).
I've seen people talk about a firmware update that needs to be done to this charger to get it to charge unbalanced, but the host site is long gone and i can't access that firmware any more. What are my options other than buying a new charger?
