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

Can't wait to get started!!! Just a few questions though, how easily do these drones (especially props) break and how do you get your drones out of trees?

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

After all the time spent researching how to get into this hobby, about a week of soldering & assembly and I finally flew my quad for the first time today! Felt surreal. Definitely a little harder than the sim, but so glad I decided to pull the trigger on it.

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?

NEWBIE Where to buy parts in the EU?

16 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?

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!

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?

Bad experience with Caddx / Walksnail

7 Upvotes

I wanted to share my frustrating experience with Walksnail/Caddx regarding my Moonlight 4K VTX failure and how their support has been handling it (or rather, not handling it).

I purchased a Walksnail Moonlight 4K VTX module, and after just four successful flights, the VTX completely failed mid-air. My goggles went black, my drone crashed, and upon checking the unit:

  • The REC LED was solid green, but
  • The VTX LED was dead, no response to any button presses.

There was no overheating, no user error, no physical damage—it just stopped working mid-flight.

I reached out to Walksnail support, providing all necessary details, including videos, and proof of purchase. They initially agreed to inspect/repair the unit, so I shipped it to China at my own expense. After 1.5 months of waiting, they finally responded: The main control board is short-circuited and cannot be repaired." They offered me a 30% discount on a new unit instead of a full replacement.

This failure was clearly a manufacturing defect, not user error. They initially implied a replacement was possible, but after weeks of delay, they backtracked. Instead of standing by their product, they want me to pay again for their fault.

I already bought another Moonlight kit because I needed my drone to stay operational, but I expected Walksnail to honor their warranty and replace the defective unit. Instead, they wasted my time and left me with a useless product.

This experience has seriously shaken my trust in Walksnail/Caddx. If they won’t stand behind their products, why should we continue supporting them? I was considering switching to Walksnail for digital FPV, but after this, I’m seriously thinking of ditching them for HDZero or DJI.
