Mockup

Alpindrones ad X

This was going to be a UBQ180, but I got a new printer and wanted to print a new frame so we're going with an Alpinedrones ad X. Still trying to build as cheaply as possible as a trainer for my 9 year old. I had it build and was getting the the FC dialed in when a very light crash seems to have introduced a short in the PDB. Going to tear it apart and re-build as soon as I can stomach looking at the thing.

Hey Whiffles, will it be possible to turn this build into a regular build once I get it going?

Whiffles Jul 06, 2016

It'll automatically change lists once you upload a photo.

cool! thanks.

Whiffles Jun 13, 2016

Wow, that's certainly a nice price for a little 180mm. I'm curious to hear how it performs. What props are you putting on this?

36Ophiuchi Jul 06, 2016

totally missed this comment! I'm thinking DAL 4045 bull nose props. I added the part, but it seems like amazon links are problematic. I've only got one color of the DALs right now so I might let him have my gemfans that I have in a few colors and switch my tweaker over to the DALs. I find it useful flying LOS to have a different color on the nose than the tail of the aircraft.

Yes, Amazon is problematic. It'll eventually show up though.

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..
