Hi
I want to show you my latest build. It's for fast longrange and mountain surfing. Dry weight is 832g. It's not the lightest but I think it's okay with the brotherhobby 2812 1115KV avenger V3. With this quad I want to break my personal record of 8km. Goal is the new dji fpv limit of about 12km. But normally I will use it for mountain and cloud surfing. Every component is covered with silicone conformal coating. So it's no problem to fly it under wet conditions.

Maiden
The aeronauts Propeller explode during a punchout. Quad fell about 8m from the sky. Weak spot is the alu cam mount. It's bent and my 6S 4000mah lipo is dead. The 10mm arms are very stiff and the rest is not damaged. I'll switch to the HQ MQ 8X4,5X3.

Antenna upgrade
Today I received my mew costom made double quad vtx antenna from www.antennenfreund.de.
It has 2.32 dbic gain and I love the performance and optic of his handmade antenna from Germany. With this antenna I reached my personal record of 8km.

Today I received my spare parts. Next try tomorow :)

I couldn't get a good tune with 8" props so I switched back to Dalprop T7056C

New personal record with my Yeti
11km Back and forth. For max range flights I switched back to 8" Bi-Blades
setup on my goggle

Changed the FC from radix to Matek F722se and the stock bearing to ceramic hybrid
It's like day and night. zero vibration on punchouts

final tune is done. Look at my settings the filter slider are at 1.5. I think it's amazing for a 8" quad. The ceramic hybrid bearings are running very smooth.

I read you had some problems with your props, if you wanna go back to bi-blades. Man the graupner I use are superb. Been flying on the same set for over half a year now, no problems and butter smooth. I did balance them them back in the day for optimal results.
were did you order your ceramic hybrid bearings from?
Very clean build man. I just built my 8" yeti and been messing around with different props. currently on HQ 8x4.5x3. They fly really well but looking to get some more range. Are you able to fit 9" bi blades on this rig?
I am curious out of all the props you've tested, witch ones did you like the most? and also how did you like the 9" props?
hey question. are you using the 1115kv motors as 6s? and if so, how long flight times are you gettimg?
good luck on beating your record
my record is 500m with a 2000mw VTX
okay something there is not right. you should have wayyy more range. do you know anyone who you could borrow goggles to test and see if it is your rapidfire module? make sure your vtx antenna is mounted up and away. the further from the quad, the better. and obviously if there are a ton of obstacles it wont go very far.
goggles are fine, among the best in my fpv group (analog)
I am trying to order a immersion rc power meter but it's always out of stock.
on the 2w setup i mounted the lipo bottom the antenna VTX is completely free.
the environment is not easy, its a valley with some building here and there and probably bouncing waves from the cells towers.
maybe the 5.8ghz is used for something else then fpv in my country on in this particular valley.
AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..
Read moreWith 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..
