Hey man, how do you charge that Lumenier 2100mAh 2s battery? I have a ISDT Q6 Lite charger and couldn't figure it out. I'm obviously very new to all this.

master_jansens Sep 29, 2019

I belive you will need an xt60 to jst adapter. However, you may be able to charge it just using the balance lead.

how did you connect the capacitor and what size did you use?

master_jansens Mar 31, 2019

I just used some thin wire to conect in to the battery solder pads. It is a 35v 1000uf capactitor (ideal for 6s) and it was included in the all-in-one xrotor combo stack.

I just got the same stack and I put the same capacitor in with the wire method and ziptied it down on the backside of the cl-1 frame then put a 20x20 board over it on stand offs and attached my akk f3 to it. nice and clean. If I only plan to use 4s batteries do I still need that size capacitor? I know in the manual it says you need to use a capacitor or it will be damaged but I heard that even with the small capacitor it comes with the esc is burning up....

Is that just hot glue around the connectors? Is it just to secure them better?

master_jansens Mar 22, 2019

If you are refering to the whitish stuff on the two xrotor boards, it came like that out of the box. Probably to secure it as you said.

Hello
your feelings about xing motors ?

master_jansens Mar 11, 2019

So far they seem good. They are supper smooth and quite. When I was testing them, full throttle sounded like nothing. I can't say too much now becase to be honest, I havent had time to fly this thing FPV yet.

RZFPV Mar 10, 2019

can you show some pictures on how u mounted the mach 3

master_jansens Mar 10, 2019

Sure, I just added some pics. In case you can't tell, I uses some double sided tape. You can also use a zip tie.

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
