By PremiumWubs on Aug 04, 2017I saw the new GE-5 frame on Banggood recently, and was in the market for a new quad, so I decided to buy it.
I decided to go with the DYS F4 for this build due to the limited amount of stack mounting height available in this low profile frame.
I used my LiteS ESCs again as they are cheap and work a treat for me, and went with some DYS SE2205 2300KV PRO motors for the quad because I thought gold would look great with purple, and they seem to perform very well for a modest price. Not the best motors out there, but they have solder pads for the motor wires, making them easy to replace.
I used the TX526 and standard HS11777 as these have no issues on my other builds and work well. I also run a flysky FS-i6x for my transmitter, and so need an X6B.
This is my third quad build, and it is my best so far, clean and able to rip hard around a track.
Now that I have finished building it, I can safely say that this quad absolutely rips. The motors handle the Cyclones beautifully, and BFOSD is like a godsend.
The frame is great, however, the camera mounting holes need to be drilled out in order to actually fit a camera, and even with an AIO FC PDB, it is really difficult to fit that, the structural stock PDB, and some battery straps in.
I made my XT60 connector too high, and so it makes it really difficult to plug in my battery, with only 1 of the battery straps doing almost nothing.
Great frame, it flies beautifully, with the DYS SE2205 PRO motors giving me flight times of around 6-7 minutes with the 5045x3 cyclones, even when punching the throttle hard with a turnigy 1300 4s 65c graphene. Haven't crashed it yet but it looks very solid.
