T-Motor Feather 120 // Low Weight // Backyard Cruiser 

But the firefly does sound louder

Yeah I'd like to see this on 2s for sure price might be a little better if it can do it

Higher voltage won't fix prop wash and bounce back...thats down to the tune (P to D ratio) as well as the torque the motor is able to produce based on volume.

If anything Higher voltage makes the copter more jittery, meaning you'll have to reduce the PD. (I still like to see it on 2S though.)

On 2s is possible to overheat the motors, 1102 are to weak for that props

I agree, very curious to see a gf3018 in this quad.

Let's see how it flies on 2S! Board is rated for it and 7800kv motors is easily for 2S! Let's RIP this baby!

1S lipos have soooo much sage if they aren't brand new batteries. I much prefer a 2S, as they will RIP and cruise, where this is cruiser only...with a crap canopy with no adjustment! Back to 2016 we go! 🤣

Be careful! Those elrs receivers are super tiny and extremely difficult for ppl new to soldering. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you're not confident. Happy flying!

@M M It went quite well all in all. Binding was a hassle indeed. I remember having to make sure elrs both on the drone and the receiver had to be the same version before it worked. Also found out the USB cable didn't always connect just like that to get to the drone in betaflight. It's quite some hurdles us beginners have to take at first.

I had to purchase Sequre SI012 Pro Mini Soldering Iron since my $400 rework station does not have a tip small enough for 1mm pads. Get the TS-ILS tip, it is the smallest tip I can find.

Thank you

Maybe time to sell one to move onto others? :)

You must have a 2S quad that will be just about as quiet as this and will RIP, vs. this being a cruiser.

@@KOrnhOliO1 no he doesn't

@@KOrnhOliO1 what 2S quad would you recommend?

@@deathpunchrigby1664 Flywoo BNF Firefly 2S Nano Baby 20 looks like the closest thing to the discontinued Diatone GTB229 that is still my favorite. The Flywoo looks like a clone of it. But, the GTB229 had 1103 motors, and the frame was much beefier and stronger.

We might be able to try it on 2s. I think if the motors/esc can handle it, it will be more aggressive capable.

Total Agree! 2S is in a whole other ballpark!

@@NickBurnsFPV Maybe with a light bi-blade it would work and not draw too much amps. Those tri-blades seem to be overkill and causing a lot of "wobbles" even with a light wind.

Elrs will certainly add control link range. Works so well

3 inch can fly well on small kv. I fy darwinfpv baby ape that have 4300kv on 2s battery. On 550 mah 2s battery the fly time is almost 9 min.

Thank you sir

@@NickBurnsFPV how u know it’s a guy?!?

@@thenorthorangesquad1738 he’s not wrong, not a lot of girls fly fpv

@@smiththemyth wait, do you think girls can’t fly fpv?? What is wrong with you

@@thenorthorangesquad1738 I didn’t mean it like that, you are twisting my words, it is commonly know that there are a lot more male pilots than female in fpv

Yes it won’t be for everyone for sure. I am going to try it on 2s with different props

Yeah, they allow you to fly more places, where less people are likely to object.

@@grimfpv292 yeah.. those people.. lol

And when crushed not much damage!! I started with 9 inch but now I also like small and light.

yea, the last two products I have reviewed are at basically the same price, 26months ago they probably would have been $99

We might be able to to that. Ofcourse we need to change the battery connector and the pid tune :)

YES!

Yes I am going to try the 65mm on 2s. See if it can be lively

probably the rocketrace with 1002 motors, or the starlord on 1102 18000kv, or even the the mobeetle6 as it can be inside and out :)

I haven't tried that yet. I am checking with the company on trying it as it on 2s. I suspect the esc might be two small to handle the amps.

Yea it seems it would have been 2s capable

oh yes, but the more weight we add, camera and battery the worse its going to fly. If to much weight it will not fly long either, maybe even not get off the ground.

Here you go: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IyYkT6hwz6U.html

Fire? Are there reports of them burning?

I plan to try it out on 2s with 65mm biblades

I don't. As I have a day job I like to keep my fpv a fun hobby.

Scroll way down on the feather page. It’s linked below the last image. Zip files

@@NickBurnsFPV I only see a VTX file and the other one seems to be a .step file for 3d printing.

I have not. In reviews I generally fly them as they comes. Tinker time comes after 😁

Agreed! 1102 with 65mm bi-blades or better yet GF2015 and that weight will fly very well. KV is WAY too low, but that’s just me, I like stupid high KV.

@@lemonsquareFPV kv gives us that fun "pop" when we hit the throttle. Like a rocket ship :)

@@NickBurnsFPV yes it does! And isn’t fun the name of the game 😁

yea, it seems the fpv hobby is dependent on trial and error and hours lost to research before just trying something.

yeah, in a few ways, this quad is like those back in 2016! No manual, no pin out, no adjustment to camera, board says 1-2s, and motors are only 7800kv, yet says 1s only. Seems T-Motor is covering their AS$ so they don't get claims of it going POOF! ❤‍🔥🔥🧯 Yet, in 2016 this would retail for $99 !

@@NickBurnsFPV Yea right. I bought a quad a year ago - but I bought it in parts, everything seperate so no big deal right? OK so how do you wire everything? Where are the schematics? What the heck is Betaflight? What is the CLI dump? How do I know what board I am using (when buying a kit, not when you bought it like i did) etc...

@@genjitsu7448 We go to bed with our head spinning sometimes. Others might even have trouble sleeping. This hobby can be so frustrating, in the long run.....worth it 😀

@@NickBurnsFPV Yes it is. It is just when I got my first quad - a BNF from HobbyTown about 7 years ago I opened the box and saw... Betaflight and flashing and CLI information and... what is a flight controller anyway? My heli's and planes don't have them... and the shop had little ability to support as that was not something they had experience in at that time. So I got my quad going with my spectrum radio and receiver and crappy FS goggles (the older ones were really not good... plus I am sure the VTX was probably not that good either)... Flew numerous times but all of a sudden one day one motor was not working - so OK, lets fix... OK nothing wrong with the motor, the ESC checks out... so lets take a look at the FC - well long story short I thought I backed up the firmware and CLI data but that turned out not to be true and I flashed the wrong firmware and bricked my $350 quad. So I left that hobby for a number of years until 1/1-2 years ago where I thought things have moved forward so much let's try again... So I bought all individual parts to build one and wouldn't you know it... the documentation and info available was pathetic and that is being nice... in some cases not available, in one case it was wrong!!! My FC for the quad I intended to build came with the wrong info and as a result... could not get it working and could not understand why as I had exactly followed the info about the board layout... which was giving me the wrong info! So POP, magic smoke, and one less FC in this world as a result. And I am out like $80! for NOTHING. That one hurt! And so it was right back in that same spot when I left years back... but now I have seen so many RU-vid videos of people having so many good results and fun including your great channel so I said i have to overcome this... so I bought a BNF... and guess what... it did not work out of the box!!! I contacted the vendor for help and went back and forth try this try that.. hmm that's odd kind of stuff... As it would turn out it literally had a defective FC... but the vendor was awesome and very supportive and apologized and they felt bad and gave me a 10% discount on my next quad purchase - which I applied to the replacement one for the defective quad. that was a lot of trouble to go through for about $15 but i do feel that they did the right thing for sure, it was not their fault. So finally I am actually back flying after all of that so I can imagine that if this was my experience that it is possible and probably likely that lots of others are having a similar experience. So message to the people that make the electronics the FC, the ESC, the VTX, any on board DVR like the Turtle from Caddx, the cameras, all of you PLEASE provide clear and accurate info. on your products. And to the bind and fly folks - PLEASE provide a clear list of exactly what components are in our BNF so if there is trouble we know exactly where to look for information. And yes, recently (and possible for longer but I only know what I had in hand) many of these products are coming now with adequate documentation which is so helpful. I recently bought a GEPRC Cinepro and the documentation that came with it was very good. All components used in the build were identified with a manufacturers PN, the components on board all had good documentation... except for the Caddx tarsier, that was not so good but at least the thing works and this story is long enough so I will end on the note that this thing is a ton of fun to fly and yes, this took me a long time to get here so if you are having difficulties (not you Nick) I think if you just take a deep breath and start working the issues you will find that the answers are not that hard to find anymore - there are so many great forums to help and YT videos available - take a lazy Saturday and watch a few hours and you will learn a lot. Cheers!

Wasn’t that one 3s? I need to go back and look. I still have it but haven’t flown it in a while

@@NickBurnsFPV mine was 2s and flew great

@@revfpv7908 Mine might have been 2s as well. Not with it in the moment to take a look.

That will help or even bi blades

@@NickBurnsFPV Yup, bi-blades with 2S! We want you the RIP IT, Nick! :)

@@KOrnhOliO1 I hope the amp draw isn't to high could be 🔥

@@NickBurnsFPV like others have said in comments, switch to bi-blades. Treat it like a toothpick. Use low amp draw props. The board says 1-2s and the motors are certainly low enough kv.... Heck, if the board could do 3s, I think those motors could too. This would be such a better seller for T-Motor if it RIPPED on 2s! 😎🤘

I am seeing this price point more and more. Pretty sad but might be a sign of the times

@@NickBurnsFPV Yep. Fortunately, there are cheaper units out there, otherwise I'd be S.O.L. ;)

I have that module. I don’t use it much, I found the interface a bit combersome

@@NickBurnsFPV huh, I find the interface to be better, but maybe because I use it more often. Now three of my flying buddies have sold their rapidfire to buy the fusion because of the sync issue.

@@trajanfpv My largest about of time with it was a weekend testing the different modules I had at the time. I didn't spend much time just using one. But yea, I likely got very used to rapidfire and need to spend more time with the fusion to get comfortable.

it would be very very little difference. The power consumption from 25mw to 200mw isn't all that much. It would be small enough we wouldn't know if it was just a slight different in the flight (less turns, few high throttle moments), or if that battery just performed slightly better.

I would go 2s. 1s will work and the larger size of motor will help control the prop on 1s but the flight will lack performance. 2s will bring out the performance

@@NickBurnsFPV perfect, really want to try that ;-) I wasn't sure if the esc could handle 2s...

@@derrogers I suggest going slowly, amp draw with motors and props can be a bit of a wildcard. Put the amp draw on your osd and cruise around noting the values, then pump the throttle to see what it bumps up to. If it gets to close to 20amp 5amp x 4 esc, then we might need to do a throttle/motor limit to keep it safe.

@@derrogers I get a 12 amp board. I don't trust those 5 amp boards...don't know why they still make them!

Depends on how quiet we are looking for. But this is certainly more quiet than just about anything I can recall.

@@NickBurnsFPV Thanks for Your reply. I'm flying a Meteor 75 right now but looking for a 1s toothpick to have something faster for outdoor flying utilising the same batteries. I just don't want it to be louder than Meteor to not disturb the neighbors.

@@grzegorzstaszewski7672 maybe check out the crux3 1s. Be careful there is another version that is 2s. This is the 1s version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IvG9jGIGnnY.html

@@NickBurnsFPV You are right, this is the best choise. I will have to purchase it from china as it is not available in stores in Poland. Love Your videos, they are the best reviews on YT 👍

@@grzegorzstaszewski7672 ah gotcha. I do have a secondary review on it where I run it on 2s after changing out the battery led.

I don’t think I tried to say that but I may have or at least sounded like that 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@NickBurnsFPV It is actually pretty fun and well placed 😄

@@nikotttin lol. I made a joke then. Happy accident. 🤣

Hmm what about the moblite7? Seems unrelated as that one is prop protected and 40mm props.

@@NickBurnsFPV just responding to the "1s" that flies as long but fair call on the unfair comparison :-) love your work mate!

@@richardprideaux3128 Okay Thanks for clarifying.

@M M so was the nanohawk x, still better.

@M M your t motor you cant get bound? damn

Then we also need a much smaller frame too 😆

65mm props on an 0802 motor is no good IMO. Maybe 1002's but not 0802. Those are for 40mm props.

Not every quad is for everyone…as I say. Some really want this for the flight time and silence, even knowing how poorly it flies. Being ashamed I reviewed???? I am not, if no one reviews a product how is the market to have any idea what a product is like. There is a service to the community to review products I don’t like or I don’t want to fly. That service is information. Before my review did anyone know how it flew or the lack of AIO wire map or that it came with no tune or vtx tables? That’s valuable information. If we turn our nose up at a product based on paper specs we also can miss the opportunity to find a diamond in the rough. That’s my rant 😁. Not mad just my perspective on the topic and why I review some products.
