The Flywoo Explorer LR 4" is not an acro or racing superstar. So why did I love it so much? Because it reminded me of how fun FPV is supposed to be. FPV without having to worry too much about failsafe, lost video, or running out of battery.

This is just an outstandingly well done review. Everything you said just hit the nail on the head! The 16x16 has always been controversial since the beginning of the #MicroLongRange Project. However, they really are reliable on 4S with those very low kV motors (never burned a single one). To get a 4" with all the capabilities like GPS, buzzer, Vista etc. below 250g AUW really every gram counts. That's the main reason to stick to 16x16. The OSD bugs have been resolved in the meanwhile. It's a Betaflight bug and flashing down to 4.1.1. solves it.

@TheMadmacs 3 года назад

i'm so loving thiss project, i fly like this all the time, still using ev800d box goggles and peter panning till my hearts content. only thing that concerns me is the gps rescue mode, i don't know if i can make it ''active'' while flying out far and then ''inactive'' when i head under some trees, ie just normal failsafe mode. would also love some control over gps rescue altitude gain, not sure if betaflight devs have the energy for that. ps. i think the gps unit might do better above the vtx antenna. think maybe you mentioned that in a vid. anyway, great stuff.

@GregQuillen 3 года назад

So don't flash to 4.2?

@GregQuillen 3 года назад

I'm test a slightly more aggressive props for sometimes having a lil more speed. Pulling out mountain dive. Will still be under the total max amps except under brief full throttle maybe

@thetubemeister82 3 года назад

Flashing down to older firmware is not a satisfactory long-term fix. 16x16 seems like a bad choice from the beginning. Some of the newer AIO boards are probably a better choice.

I might not watch all of your videos all the way through, but I do listen to them while I’m at work. A lot of the time I am working on machinery, not as a mechanic but driving them from point a to point B and I will have my phone next to me with some Bluetooth headphones on and what I get out of your videos is not always a visual learning experience but it is listened to and absorbed. As of right now, I happen to be one of the lucky ones that has already received my Explorer LR, And I am loving it so far. As you mentioned in your video, just being able to slow down and take a breath and enjoy what you can’t see from the ground is the experience that I was looking for when I stumbled across this model. It was actually nice to see you take a break from your bench and enjoy with this little machine can give you. As always, thank you for another great video. We love you man!

@marcusdutra7091 3 года назад

Congratulations for the introduction thoughts, it was super! It brought out the very inner wish of mankind to be able to fly, the hype we get when the dream "comes true" and then the frustration we feel when the tech limitations remember us that we are actually still standing on the very ground we always have been. It's mithologic!

@tylerjames1716 3 года назад

Josh you hit the nail on the head with the intro. I got into fpv late 2015ish. At first I just bought the cheapest walkera p.o.s. drone that I could find, just to try out the hobby. I fell in love with fpv with my first flight. The quad I had was trash but I wanted more. I started learning from fpv RU-vidrs and started spending so much time and money on this hobby that I absolutely love. I got myself some awesome gear and built top of the line freestyle quads and had a blast with them for a while. But recently my "flybag" sits alone in the corner of the room. I haven't touched my drones but I'm still so in love with the hobby, but you got it right and I never realized it until now. Flying for me became such a hassle. Charging a dozen batteries for hours on end a, getting all my gear ready and going out to scout out a place to fly and blowing through all my batteries in less than an hour, going no farther than the confines of the park or field I was flying in. Maybe I'll have to try one of these explorers because I truly do miss the feeling that I used to get when I took off into the sky. Maybe this could spark my drive to go out and fly more. I sure hope so. Keep up the great work, Joshua.

@LaLaObeRoT 3 года назад

My old wood stick tricopter is still one of my absolute favorites. No acro at all, but very soft and swooshy. So enjoyable. It is one of the few FPV vehicles, that give me a sense of birds flight freedom. Kept improving it and added INAV, MC, L9R longe range receiver, baro and GPS over time. With flight times way past 20 minutes it's a beautifully flying long range ship. I'm sure with Lithium Ions this could be pushed a lot further.

@Brandon S The DJI system makes it more accessible because it takes the stress out of flying for newbs, the feed is great, the range is great and they can actually see where they are going. Analogue is generally so bad its intimidating to fly by comparison. Also the feature set for the system is extensive, you can change everything about your camera, goggles and VTX options through one system, the interface is intuitive and easy to learn and use as a one stopt for PID's and other commonly used settings. Everything has a visual interface and its very approachable.

Was just looking around on this, I just got into digital and ordered one of these as my first lr quad. I've always loved the feel of flying fixed wings and honestly despite practice I'm not great with acro in freestyle but the idea of something so portable is too tempting. Plan to put some vistas on a couple quads and planes. This style of relaxed flying and just enjoying the view through a pair of goggles is more of what I like.

Just a quick note, the DJI goggles keep the last known GPS coordinates until you either get signal back, or you restart the goggles. I find it very useful because I can quickly jot down the coordinates into Google maps on my phone before resetting the goggles.

Hi JB, usually problem with acquiring satellites comes because of “noisy” electronics, specially split cameras but not only, Best way to deal with it is to separate gps unit from the rest with piece of adhesive aluminum foil attached to rear posts like a firewall. Try it, happy flying.

I removed the copper foil from the V2 Explorer and used faraday tape to protect the GPS. Wrap the wires with the tape and place a small piece of the tape on the back of the gps module. I have gotten up to 18 sats on the explorer within minutes. With the baby croc I did the same but adjusted the baud to 19200 on the soft serial, I have gotten over 20 satellite's consistently. With this fix the RTH works great.
