Hi guys! I have been flying a meteor 75 pro for about two weeks.

I am a jobless high schooler, so money is kind of tight for me, so I am relying on my upcoming October birthday to get some new equipment. I really want to build a drone, so I made this parts list.

The bubito frame and motor bundle from rotor riot.

Betafpv matrix 5 in one fc

betafpv c04 analog camera

some lava II 280/320 mah batteries.

Would this be good? (any parts missing?) Is a build like this something that would be good for my experience? (Three months by the time I would get the drone.) Or should I get a different drone? (Other option would be a 65 mm tinywhoop.)

Can I use the DJI RCn3 with the diy simulator?

Hi. For some reason my controller won’t connect to the simulator. I have a Betafpv controller. My desktop computer is a few years old so doesn’t have a usb-c port so It’s connected via normal usb. Could this be the issue? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

just got new pavo20 04 pro trying to fly with pocket crush all updated elrs 4 and its bound but when i arm and give alittle throttle motors spin out of control any ideas what caused this ?

Hi there

What are the differences between a freestyle drone and a racing drone ? Besides the weight difference

Thanks!

A few months ago my aio just decided not to show any correct power-related information. Voltage is always displaid between 0V and 1V. and current at 0A I think. except that everythin still works fine. (just somehow the motor beeping function to find it doesnt but I think that doesn't matter). In my opinion it's no problem I can fly with the timer but should I get a new aio for some reason?

Why can't I get the "device ready" setting on my vtx to say true? Everything seems to be wired correctly and I have selected the right port, yet it still says "device ready false" in the video transmitter tab in betaflight. How do I fix this?

I’m having trouble finding a way to mount and solder my run cam thumb two to my HgLRC dracknight

Hi everyone! I have a bit of an unusual request that might be different from what normally gets asked in this community. I'm a passionate kite flyer, and I'd love to build a lightweight FPV setup that can be suspended from the kite line so I can experience the view from high up in the air. The idea is to have a small rig with an FPV camera and video transmitter that hangs below the line and stays as stable as possible while the kite is flying. My budget is fairly limited, so I'm looking for guidance on how to put together a simple, reliable, and affordable setup. I'm especially interested in recommendations for lightweight components, mounting ideas, stabilization techniques, and any tips on keeping the total weight as low as possible without sacrificing reliability. Has anyone here built something similar or knows of examples of kite-mounted FPV rigs? I'd really appreciate any advice, build logs, or lessons learned that could help me get started. Thanks in advance!

I did a full DeepSpace Seeker 35 build from scratch and something happened during my first flight which caused me to crash into a lake. Can't tell what happened but I think it either got hit by a bird or a prop flew off... Let me know what you guys think! https://youtu.be/THHL3O8MdbY?si=EZ8eXjI-BWzijhsu

I just got a pair of FatShark Dominator v2s for free, they came with an official battery but no charger. I have a rc car Lipo charger with the same balance connector, will this blow up the battery?

guys i want to buy this drone kit

it costs 255 euro's is it a good deal?

Hi there,

So I have 2 options about fc and esc options:

1st : is getting the ready mamba f722 128k mk4 App stack

2nd : is getting a mamba f722 mk5 fc and mamba a f65 128k esc

The difrences between the mk4 and the mk5 are so confusing which I didn't understand, but the mk5 website page doesn't show that mk5 supports dshot 1200 while the mk4 does , does it really matter ?? + the mk4 stack have the app version which let's you configure it from your phone, while I am not sure about the mk5's compatibility with the app.

+ the stack one has the 55A esc which runs on BLheli32, while the 65A standalone esc runs on AM32 .

Am I missing somthing ?

Appreciate any comment !!

I forget to buy a lipo strap, is it okay to use zip ties instead? I know this seems like a stupid question but I don't want to risk damaging my batterys

Hello, I just recently built my first fpv drone and I ran into an issue.

Sometimes when I decrease the throttle on my remote the motors keep spinning at the same speed. I flashed the firmwere yesterday and it all seemed fine in betaflight. How do I fix this?

Hi, I’m new to this hobby. I’ve clocked up nearly 25 hours on a simulator, and I was wondering if that’s enough to fly a real drone, and if not, what you think the minimum number of hours I should aim to get one

Thank you very much

Hey all, new flyer here hoping for some help.

I have a Mobula 8 with HdZero Box Pro and a Radiomaster TX15.

I've been having a persistent issue when flying that it only transmits from the VTX at 20Mw and digital feed becomes static at around 25m when my understanding is it should be much much farther. I've tried a few fixes only including in my LuA Script and forcing power level 2 (did nothing) and ensuring properly set up on SpeedyBee. Not really sure what I'm missing.

Hopefully I've provided enough info and I'm missing something simply (I have thick skin). Attached are screenshots showing my R : 1 : 20 and my SpeedyBee settings, not sure if that's even helpful.

Thanks I'm advance for any help on this, not sure where else to turn to.

Hi there, so I just got the source one v5, and all of the builds I watch on youtube have less screws and some sort of spacers or short standoffs, does anyone know what are these for??

Thanks ..

Newbie fpv pilot here, anyone got recommendations on a good Flight controller? I have an old one but given its age I didn't wanna chance using it.

When I start up my drone I only hear 4 beeps instead of 5, what does thet mean?
