The frame appears to be cut? What did you use to cut it if so?

Which other motors can you recommend. Those unluckily aren't available in europe

What motor KV did you go

in 1 hour challenge hovering current is under 4 amp which is less than 1C, for high current situation, I use RC lipos

yes what cells were you using for hovering ?

XMFPV   24 hours ago 

just some random cellphone batteries which can be charged to 4.45V with higher discharging voltage to get more efficiency.

Yes, I know droneshop.nl. And quadcoptersenzo.nl, and speeddrones. Nl... But back then, when I build the hexacopter, they didn't had the motors, and fettec components.

ah alright

With a barometer, angle mode and altitude hold, the dynamic load on the battery would be less. But maybe your flight was exactly like that?

Wow ! Would that be the unofficial world record in flytime for a 6 inch FPV with X4 copter ?

Nice build. I just bought the Holodonata. What do you think about using IFlight Xing2 1404 4600Kv Motors instead of your recommendation above? Any additional recommendations for BF?

did you ever got the chance to fly this bullet

Hi, great looking build! i just (finally) ordered my Holodonata! Do you recommend the motors you're running? How do you think it would do on 4S with 1404s? I'm considering the RCinpower SmooX 5000KV motors, but this will be my first build in this size class, so I'm unsure of what will fly the best. Thanks!

daich   6 days ago 

thanks. nice, you'll enjoy it. 1404 5000kv would do fine running on 4s with like a 450-550mah pack. really depends on your flying style though. I consider the 1404 on the beefier end for a 2.5" and starts to get on the heavier side like this build but for some some flying styles that is just perfect at a compromise for durability for tossability. This is a lightweight frame though so I think the 1404 would be just fine. the RCinpower motors are top grade too.

my goodness i am blind i found it what is the total price including batteries?

Rotorenpilot   6 days ago 

No problem, glad to help

So the price is not super accurate, as deals often fluctuate, but I'll try (I try ordering from stores like Pyrodrone, but often times just find better deals on AliExpress...😐)

  • FC/ESC around $50
  • Motors ~ $40
  • Video transmitter ~ $20
  • receiver ~ $10
  • camera ~ $15
  • frame parts (tubes, glue and plastic) ~ $10

All in all I would say around $150, but somethings to keep in mind are that I like waiting for deals and I often buy in bulk, which can help pushing the price even further. I know the video transmitter for example has gone up in price since I bought this one, but the receivers can be purchased in bulk for as low as ~ $6.-

My current favorite batteries are GNBs...but I did the math the other day and actually found Tattus to be around the same price and sometimes even cheaper. CNHLs are the cheapest and I have some...but they are not my favorite. So batteries are adding another 15 to 20 bucks, depending on how much flight time you're looking for.... honestly I've yet to run down a battery on this rig. So far I get close to ten minutes of flight time with batteries still popping back to 3.6 even 3.8 Volts per cell after unplugging. I'm using 4S around 850mAh

Kudos on the budget build! Your flying skills are impressive, and it's a great reminder that you don't need to spend a fortune to have an amazing time in the air. The chamfered frame and components seem to be working seamlessly, showcasing that sometimes paper specs don't tell the whole story.

Can't say fast and far without giving speed and distance?

DigOnly commented on a Build, Fastest FPV Racing Drone   10 days ago  

Can't make statements like that without giving data on top speed?

Here's my first micro built entirely from parts. It's built on the Fractal 75 frame with Meteor75 air frame ducts. I ran into issues with screw length and USB length, if I put the FC right side up, the USB port would scrape the battery, so I had to install the FC upsidedown. It worked out nicely though, this way the motor plugs are protected, and the USB port is accessible with the battery installed. I designed a little mount to hold my TBS Unify Nano in place and protect the antenna. Right now it's running Quicksilver, and it flies nice and smooth. The power with the 27000kv motors is great, the quad feels very in control.

Hey,
I found your suggestions useful for my Explorer LR4 build.
Thank you!

DigOnly commented on a Build, FR7 Long Range Build   11 days ago  

What kind of speeds do you hit?

ShawnG   11 days ago 

Thanks for the question, but its not built for speed its built to cruise so im not looking at the speed telemetry while cruising to much.

DigOnly   11 days ago 

Understandable. What speeds do you cruise around and how long do the flights last?
