Hi

I flew a few drones, largely for photography and tiny whoop for fun. Now it became time to do my homework and build one myself. I don't seek the most complicated tricks or speed. However, this build has a hoover level of 25% throttle. A battery life of 8 till 12 min minutes. (4Ah mean) Not bad. And above all, it flies like a charm.

For me it was important all parts are delivered in Europe - outside USA. It should go together with Taranis radio and use the latest technology: GPS, inav, F7 board.
I created an extensive build document width lots of links to video, specs and tricks on the internet. Excuse, me but is actually partly in Dutch. https://www.creaski.eu/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/RC-Drone-build-doc.pdf

I opt for a very solid (and more expensive frame). Unfortunately I could test it! "fell" from 45 meters high. The air sponge break the fall.
The 4 esc in one is a little bit high in amp: somewhere the spec of my motors told me "45A max", but in reality I measure 16 max.

The main stack "VTX - ESC - F7 board" was a real challenge to build: the space height is a little bit to narrow. using extra long bolds, and minimal spacers and some foil between the parts did the trick.

Buzzer, receiver, led and antenna are stacked at the back. Some two sided adhesive tape did the trick. My receiver couldn’t come from Banggood.com: no transporter available to ship to Europe, the told me (after I placed the order).

Regards

Johan.
