John's 5" Freestyle Build

Descripción

This is the first drone I've built, and it flies pretty well! I enjoyed building with the Source One v6, which was fairly new at the time. Because of this, there were not many parts available online, so the 3D printed parts are all my own designs (found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7280553).

I decided to start with an analog system because I didn't want to crash and destroy an expensive digital VTX. I do hope to switch to an O4 Air Unt Pro someday, though. The FC is amazing and very capable, but it's more capable than I'm able to make use of as a beginner, so I'll probably use a cheaper one in future builds.

Thanks for sharing your build John, you are the first one! 🤘 Very clean build, I like the look with the blue tape on the arms, reminds me of the single ESC times 😂 Damn those remote IDs are large, luckily we don't need them here in Baltics, at least I think so. 💯💯💯💯💯💯

very nice, clean build! hey, digital is nice, but I have a ton of dji/walksnail stuff and am currently building 2 analog 5" very similar to yours because its still the best option for advanced freestyle. you can do a lot with tunes, rates and prop types to help you get the most out of this build at your skill level and now you will have something to grow into. (4.3 is a high pitch for props and might be part of it, I use 3.5 and below for most of my stuff.) If you dont already have one, whoops are great for getting more irl flight time in, especially when learning!
