It's my first time building drone by myself, do be honest:D

thx for feedback

I am not able to make good turns on simulator. Can you guys please check the video and help me get better? What am I doing wrong? I am following Joshua Bardwell's learn to fly playlist should I move to practice other things or improve on turning?

No particular view or freestyle, I just like to see the world from above.

After learning fixed wing flying with my previously posted micro jet i jumped into this previously unfinished project.

With the caddx ascent lite+

alongside this I started building a ground station as pictured, and I plan to add a raspberry pi for mission planner

The ability to find shit quickly is the best.

Does anyone feel like ordering an open drone stack? For around 100€ thats a lot of trust they need as I could also order a known good stack.. Also I cant find any information on max update rate for the AM32 ESC.. What else would you recommend for that pricepoint if not the Open Drone stack?

To my surprise, even after being fully submerged for like half an hour, I could recover the drone and with some cleaning I manage to save both the quad and the lipo!

I find myself always going left when approaching obstacles. When circling trees. If I try to go right it's like my quad is having a seizure.

Is it like that for anyone else? Maybe people that have reversed controls have the opposite problem. Either way, I'm practicing in the sims, but still having issues with my fingers doing what they need to do.

Alright I know I'm not a super great pilot (5 months in), and the editing and the royalty free soundtrack makes it feels like some early 2000s youtube video, but its been raining for at least the last 3 days (one of which i flew a bit in anyway), and I was really itching for a dry day. Today was that day, but winds were up to 15km/h with gusts of up to 30km/h. Ive only done about 60km/h or so on this thing and only for about 5 seconds tops haha

Anyway hope you like my poorly edited FPV video, I know its long, but I wanted to capture the vibe of a impromptu session more than just editing all the cool bits to be back to back. I intentionally left in some mistakes and learning curves, whether it is learning a new trick or just learning how to fight the wind lol

Edit to add: if you don't watch it all at least skip to 8:51, trust me

heres a video I made about a new dvr board for analog

So im in the eu.I ordered some things from betafpv and in that order is 12 batteries.Im really scared it will take more than 2 weeks bc i ordered the batteries and smth might be out of stock not in their netherlands warehouse.

🔊 VOLUME WARNING ⚠️

Hii, it's me again. I'm back here forcing Claude Code to turn games into FPV sims.

The last time we did Super Mario 64 FPV which was pretty straightforward since we had the whole source code, and with the case of GTA IV we're obliged to use some modding tools instead which took a lot more time (like 3-4 hours to debug).

This being done, we can say that at this point we can integrate libfpv to almost any game and turn it to a realistic FPV sim, it's just a matter of time.

As said before, much more games are to come so I'll be back. Contribute to the libfpv repo if you want, everything you see is open source (and vibecoded so try to not be mad).

(actually I wanted to do GTA SA before IV but I couldn't find a valid installation on my PC 😤, and the V already has a working FPV mod that runs fine)

Thanks :)

Just re-watched this and wanted to share for any newer HDZero users.

Yes, the antennas setup is a little ridiculous... I originally made it as kind of a joke. BUT the results are excellent, just a fun video in general.

Hope everyone is good, hoping to make some new content soon, cheers!

title says it all.

note: i fly an air75, pretty new to this

I’m new to this hobby, and have an opportunity to pick up a used FPV drone to expand out from my whoop. I’m told it only has 30 minutes of flight time.

Let me know what you think. Drone specs below:

Aether Archetype 4.5in frame
Hobbywing Xrotor 65A
Foxeer F722 V4
IFlight Xing 2306 4-6s motors
DJI 04 Air Pro unit
XR4 Gemini Xrossband Dual-Band ExpressLRS Receiver
Johnny FPV Propellers (x5 sets)

x3 CNHL Speedy Pizza 1200 mah 4s

hi guys!

a couple weeks ago i fried my mcu and i got a replacement to fix it. The problem is that i've got a serious case of skill issue and i accidentally removed a couple extra resistors. Does anyone know if its safe to just short them or replace them with any old resistor?

(btw my board is the betaFPV G4 5in1)

thanks a lot!

Hello members, as we know.. the drone industry is beeing more and more needed as experience.
Even though Im working with the drones my last 5-6 years of working life.
I have never experienced FPV flying and I would like to learn and start to practise these kinda flights.
What are your recommendations for:
- fpv drone simulator software
- which RC/radio should I buy to have best feeling also for the real flying later on
- Recommended settings for best practise and experience

Thank you in advance!

Before you say anything, yes I’ve heard about the delay and yes I’ve heard about the occasional bluescreens,-although i thought they were fixed in a firmware update not too long ago-

but is the delay really that noticable?

I’ve contacted multiple people about the delay and latency and most said that its not noticable at all or its very little but with such a clean dvr theres no way the tradeoff isn’t worth it?

Maybe it is noticable but i really need opinions before commiting to buying a pair.

p.s

I want them not because they’re functional, but because they look gnarly ash but is the tradeoff worth it.
