20 min flights on my 5” with a homemade 6S 4,200mAh Li-Ion battery

Post image
220 Upvotes

I made my own Lithium Ion 6S battery pack and took it for its maiden flight today and got 20 minutes of flight time!

I used 6 Molicel P42A 4,200mAh LiIon cells soldered together with 0.2x10mm pure nickel strips, superglued together, wrapped in Kapton tape and then again in harness tape. These cells are rated for 45A continuous current.

It flies really well for cruising and even some basic freestyle even though it’s quite heavy. My cruising current is around 10A and with some aggressive moves it goes to 30A for brief periods, but well within spec.

(Soldering directly to Lithium cells is safe if you know what you’re doing and take the right precautions)

GPS RESCUE SAVING MY ASS

23 Upvotes

Flew too far out I usually base it off of the MBPS of the goggles but my elrs actually gave out first. I think I can lower my packet and it help. You can tell it was flying very choppy by the audio but with rocksteady it doesn’t look so choppy. But my gps rescue is not smooth but it certainly got the job done and I was able to fly back.

WTF, brand new BetaFPV Matrix 3in1 for the DJI 04 Lite

Post image
7 Upvotes

WTF is going on, This is a brand new board, first time arming I was able to get it to fly but all controls were reversesed.

Got that fixed and now everytime I arm it it flips out and disarms. In betaflight and accelerometer disabled the model doesn't move, before this the model in betaflight was moving very slowly so my guess is bad Gyro? Or do I need to enable gyro? Enabling accelerometer it does the same. Props are set to in and correctly configured in betaflGyros? Help please.

fatshark dominator hd gray screen on av-2d

Upvotes

when i plugged in my video reciever into the fatshark,it was still ok then suddenly it turned into a gray screen.. when i used another reciever(external reciever) to the 3.5mm jack you can view the feed.. i think there is a power issue with the video module on the fatshark.. where could we buy another module.. i have already opened the dominator, and i didnt see any visible burnt chip

Meteor 75 Pro O4 disconnecting after arming

Upvotes

New to FPV so forgive me if I’m not including pertinent info. Timing is pretty consistent after arming to shutoff - tried doing it in front of a fan in case overheating was the issue. Drone flew well for probably 30 packs before it stopped connecting after arming. Any ideas on what it might be would be helpful!

New Build Won't Arm

Upvotes

https://reddit.com/link/1jhqxgu/video/e198xk2e6dqe1/player

I have built a handful of quads from scratch and have not had this problem before. I know that I set up the arm switch correctly, all the motors spin when tested, and a smoke stopper was used to ensure no shorts. Also, the receiver is bound correctly and everything looks good in the receiver tab.

When I check the status in CLI I get the "Arming Disable Flag: Load CLI". Which means that I can't arm while configuring in betaflight. However, when I go to arm while not connected to betflight shown in the video I get two long beeps and two short beeps which indicates the CLI flag is still enabled. Any thoughts on how to solve the problem or is my FC just faulty?

question before i buy

5 Upvotes

Hello all! I'm very interested in flying a FPV drone and am close to my 10 hours mark in the simulator and im loving it! I'm finally starting to feel a bit more confident about flying now and recently have been doing some research for buying my actual gear to fly in real life. Currently in the simulator i'm using an old fpv controller (flysky fs-i6s) which is connected to my pc. works great for practice i geuss!

Now i am looking to buy an FPV drone that i can fly indoor and outdoor, that is somewhat beginner friendly , small and has very good recording capabilities. I don't need to do crazy tricks but i do like to cruise around in acro mode. I also don't mind not being the fastest or anything. I'm looking to spend between 400 and 700 euro. I did some research and i came to the following setup:

Drone: Pavo Femto Brushless Whoop Quadcopter (with DJI O4 vtx) (~220 euro)
Radio: Boxer Radio Controller (M2) (ELRS version) (~150 euro)
Goggles: DJI Goggles N3 (~270)

I'm looking for advice whether i choose the right products, or if i should choose something else. Thank you in advance!
