Update! I had the pan and tilt gimbal installed but hadn't had it configured. I finally redid all my aux modes (7 of them currently) to occupy 2 channels and set the pan and tilt on channels 7 & 8 (Crossfire is set to 8 channel mode). I'm using the sliders right now for my pan and tilt but have already built an arduino head tracker, I just need to get the 3d printed case for it to mount on my goggles and then calibrate it and I'll be good to go! I upgraded the ESC to an iflight succex-e 45a I had laying around so I could run 4s and with a 4s 3000mah pack I flew around 26 minutes (landed at 3.7v). I also set a channel override switch on my radio to lock the gimbal straight if I don't want it moving around for things like maybe landing. also am using a velcro strap to keep the front hatch from popping off in a roll or high wind.
Have you ever tried flite test? If not have a look at the ft scout. You can build the airframe for 3-4$ and a couple of hours
Yeah haha I have at least 4 flite test speed build kits sitting in the corner unbuilt. For some reason it's difficult for me to get motivated to build them. I'm trying to get some friends together to build some scouts so we can put the VAS air combat system on them. I saw this plane in a rotor riot video and it had good reviews so I picked it up.
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..

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..

I just bought the Aeroscout. Do I need to upgrade the ESC before running 4s batteries?
I did not run 4s on the stock esc. I used a blheli_32 2-6s 40a iflight stick esc I had laying around.
