See my previous post for more details on the drone I built.

I went for a first flight session. In my opinion it flew great, I didn’t notice strong vibrations, the drone and props gave plenty power. Quite enjoyable. I tried 3.5X2X3, T3.5X2.5X3 and T3.5X3.5X3 props, they all worked great. I enjoyed the T3.5X3.5X3 most I think, simply because of the added speed and responsiveness.

I uploaded a video of a flight if you want to check it out.

    Thanks for sharing. Did you fix the TX issues? It seems like really terrible range. Your GPS also doesn’t seem to have any idea where you are. Were you able to sort this out?

      GPS took a few minutes, then it got me. I just didn’t give it time to lock on before taking off.

      And I blame my RX for the bad video range. It is quite cheap, a knockoff of the Eachine EV800D.
