My frame from aliexpress used injection molded plastic for the landing feet, gopro mount and antenna mount and all of the pieces broke. From my experience injection molded plastic is pretty weak so i don't think it will be a very durable quad.

@M4R5_FPV I was trying it out and whenever i start the flash it says Cant find RX.... Do you know why it cant find my Rx?

  Trying to initialize COM3 @ 420000


Attempting to detect FC UART configuration...

    ** Serial RX config detected: 'serial 5 64 115200 57600 0 115200'
Enabling serial passthrough...
  CMD: 'serialpassthrough 5 420000'

======== PASSTHROUGH DONE ========
======== RESET TO BOOTLOADER ========

  * Using full duplex (CRSF)

Cannot detect RX target, blindly flashing!

esptool.py v4.2.1
Serial port COM3
WARNING: Pre-connection option "no_reset" was selected. Connection may fail if the chip is not in bootloader or flasher stub mode.

I was updating all my drones ELRs receivers to the latest version, and now both of the drones are stuck with the Led light solid even when my controller is off. 😭 I did see how you can buy a Radiomaster thing that fixes it, but they are all out of stock. Anyone know how to fix this? The drones are a custom 5 inch and a Meteor 75 pro with a built in Elrs.

Thanks for the info... Im probably gonna get Xing-e x pro 2207 or the Xing-e x pro 2306. They are pretty cheep+ they have a high kv so it probably will have more power.

I've been thinking about switching from 4s to 6s, and I was wondering if it has a very big impact when flying... Does it increase flight time, speed/power, or both? Also are 2207 motors better or worse than 2306 motors?

I think 3 inch is a pretty good size. It has power to fly like a 5 inch it is noticeable weaker. It is also insanely fun to fly. Plus, when you fly a 3 inch it feels a lot safer because its >250g. One big downside at least for me is that they are pretty fragile. But at least for my 3 inch the repair cost is cheaper that my 75 mm FPV drone, like the BetaFPV Meteor 75 pro. ( I started on 3 inch also). For a 3 inch drone, I recommend the BabyApe pro v3.

Just was cruising around the park, recently I haven't been learning new tricks, and instead I just am trying to get better at the ones I know.

Man that must've been a pretty crazy crash😂. I guess my VTX has never broken cuz I never crash it too hard.😅

Oof that stinks😭... What you can do to keep the mmcx on your VTX safe is to use an adapter that goes from Mmcx to SMA. Then you use a Sma antenna, and if you ever crash bad only the antenna will break and your vtx's connector will be fine. Have you tried this before? if not I definitly recommend it, its worked really well for me.

I've used Ufl connectors for my Vtx before and they usually break off.... So if its a 5inch or bigger(or even a 3 inch) probably go with MMCX. I guess it would be fine to use a UFL if it just connected to a UFL-SMA adapter.

I have never tried Ascent before, but I recommend watching a few videos on ascent and see if you think its worth the money. I have watched a few vids on Ascent and they say the latency is kinda bad. So if you want to just cruise around doing flips it will probably be good.

You will need a Drone controller, and then you will need connect it to your computer via Usb or wifi (if its Elrs). Once your controller is recognized by the sim you can calibrate the controller. And then it should work perfectly fine.

That seems really cool! How do you put the information of where the drone has been into the app? Also does it use blackbox data or gps?
