Meteor65 build better as BNF?

Maybe a better alternative as the original BNF
FC is a warranty version running BF4.1 by default. Rates are way agressive for me and used the 3.5.7 rates. vtx table was pre installed!

Still flys best with GF 31mm 3 blade and very noise friendly.

Whoop on the background is UK65 on Meteor65 frame. For indoors I like the smaller FOV on this one for this moment. Have to get used to the larger FOV on the C01 and steeper angle.

Build is very straight forward: soldering cam+fc to fc, dail in rates and mode switches (pre set!) and move OSD to match goggle screen. And ready to go!

current version is orange. Pink frame is kinda whitisch.

I see you have several different props. Which ones do you recomend? I have my own built Meteor and my preference is the gemfan triblades, but I have yet to get ahold of the 4 bladed gemfans. I guess I also have higher KV motors, but with little loss of power I prefer the triblades for the efficiency.

The GF31mm 3blades I like the most: very low noise level and sufficient lift and thrust for indoor. The 4 blade feels like I am more throttle pumping to control the thrust yet an other channel to take into account when flying a track. I'm not a good racer using thumbs I am a pincher and need good throttle resolution as wel as pitch/rol/yaw. The 17500kV gives more throttle resolution to fit my skills and hardly use full throttle anyway.
Yes, flight times are better too!

Still have to get used on the wide FOV seems like it's more of a struggle to target a precise direction.
greets!

If this fc will last I'l upgrade from 65 to 75 frame and props. I have the Uk65 already in this class and is a nice flyer as well and has proven to be very durable.
Larger frame and props give more efficiency and flight time. Worth considering IMO.

Greets!

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

Jun 21, 2021

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..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

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..
