Nova M87
By kisselcj@gmail.com on May 10, 2019
This was my very first build. My first 5" was a Hawk5 so I stuck with mostly Emax components and upgraded some items later on.
Currently in the process of learning how to tune, but having a great time even on stock PIDS.
On the maiden FPV flight I crashed due to the props not giving enough punch (image above is with Hulkie 5055) which I quickly learned those are for 5S-6S builds. I switched over to a lighter pitched Gemfan Winddancers and got the punch I need to avoid crashing.
I got alot of inspiration and ideas on what pilots use from RB.com and would like to thank everyone for sharing their builds.
My next will be a Long Range iflight XL7; GPS, TBS, QX7S, etc.

With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
