@@Catiadr Hahah, reminds me of my drone buddy. We both got started at the same time. I'm still figuring out basic things like hovering in place, maintaining constant altitude as I fly around, gauging my altitude and speed from the view in the goggles, ... Meanwhile, he's already trying out various stunts. So while my drone comes back from our flights relatively unscathed, perhaps some nicked props, he's currently out of commission because he tried to fuse his drone with the concrete pavement through liberal application of throttle... :')

Conformal coating is so damn important, not only makes the quad water resistant but also protects it from short circuits (components touching other components or touching the frame).

@zeroglyph 4 года назад

#10 is really important. learned this during my helicopter flying days. learn to instinctively shut off your motor before you hit anything. either by killing throttle or by disarming. this will reduce the damage to your craft(burnt esc) and whatever it's hitting.

@axfpvalex1944 4 года назад

What? I thought I was the genius that came out with that, glad to know I have a twin 🤔🤯

@hateeternalmaver 4 года назад

Helis are so much more susceptible to damage because of the whole mechanical swash-plate array... Quads aren't like that. I came from helis and by instinct disarmed as soon as I thought I was gonna hit something. But no, I learned you can pull through, bounce off, throttle yourself out of a tree or even turtle-mode back.

@FlyingPenguinDrones 4 года назад

Can confirm about learning to crash. In those events where you get caught in a branch, get flipped over, but the quad regains composure, it's so handy to at least be able to quickly flip over the quad so that the bottom bounces off the ground, instead of landing on an arm, or the GoPro, or even the battery. That quick reaction usually is what keeps me flying for a whole day usually!

Is the conformal coating basically the same thing as never wet. I don't mean as in the end product being it doesn't get wet. I mean never wet leaves a white rough sandy feeling to what ever is coated. I've done a drone in it. And it works but looks like shit. Looks like it was coated with that Xmas tree frosting but thinner. So does it leave a noticable residue?

@jamesdavis2027 4 года назад

matt Wheat no, it doesn’t repel water just seals electronics. You can use clear nail polish too

@Reisaka1 4 года назад

Zip tie the wires near the motor so when you break an arm, the wires will not strip off from the motor.

@attainableapex 4 года назад

Hey I use those skids, butt I add two of those foam pad on the back arms and it sticks up a little past the skids and keeps you going straight while sliding. Another is to put air mode on a switch. Then when you slide, throttle 0 and turn off air mode and it won't mess up having the quad try and fix what your doing. The props will just stop spinning. I have it on a toggle so it auto turns back on. Works awesome when going down a playground slide or something where it would be better to not having the props hitting things.

@themtbpoet8886 3 года назад

Tip: just be richer

@luftstolle 2 года назад

I agree. It also makes it easier to buy spares, e.g. buy 9 motors for 2 quads, and one extra arm. And when both quads break in different places you can switch parts so that you end up with one working quad and one doubly broken, while waiting for new parts to arrive. And you simplify tracking down what's broken, e.g. I recently burned a small resistor on an ESC and managed to find it by visually comparing everything against the identical working ESC I had on the other quad, and then comparing resistance measurements between them. If I didn't have two identical ESCs, I would probably have had to throw it away. The comments about "being rich" are exaggerated, in the long run you probably spend less building 2 identical drones. And you certainly get more flight time per dollar spent.

@fcass 4 года назад

Thanks for this (haven't finished watching yet lol), but I went through a string of really bad luck and have learned some things which help with ruggedization. You mention frames first - I couldn't bleevit, I finally fixed my drone after so many part fails, took off in street to test, zoomed up above trees, rolled - the friggin battery came unplugged (!#$#$*) and it smashed on the driveway - EVERY SINGLE pressnut on the RDQ Source one frame came out of the carbon, so I can't recommend that frame. Ok, gonna watch now and hope I learn some new things which I will apply immediately. Good to see you making videos. They are all good. Keep em coming, we are bored staying at home so much lol.

@cypress9735 4 года назад

1. I add a 1/2-3/4" band of double layer heat shrink to the ends of my batteries to secure the leads and act as a bit of a bumper. 2. My Tyro99 has narrow arms that are pretty fragile. I added a thin coat of epoxy and they seem to hold up much better. 3. LOCTITE YOUR SCREWS! I've now thrown two motors. That's how many motors it took me to start using loctite and check my motor screws before every flight (especially if you're using plastic skids under the screws). Love you guys!

I tried the foam that came with my Armattan frame. I tried the Ummagrip. The best thing I've found for holding the battery on is Velcro with sticky back on the batteries and the top of the quad. I've never had a battery eject or even shift position with the Velcro.

Bacon CheeseCake It activates itself automatically when the main Lipo disconnects or you can trigger it manually with a switch on your radio.

@@hangtimeFPV Ah, interesting. If you wanted to activate it manually, wouldn't you have to have the seperate lipo also power the reciever?

Bacon CheeseCake Manual triggering is only available with connected main battery. That makes sense because otherwise it automatically starts beeping if the main battery disconnects (through the integrated mini Lipo by itself).

My list: Protect the RX antennas with zip ties and heat shrink. Give the batteries some extra padding by covering them with mountain bike wheel tube Try to attach your battery leads to something else than just the FC or 4in1 esc so the PCB doesn't have to take the full force of a battery flailing around in case of a battery ejection.

@fastnbashrc1630 3 года назад

I have been using RC tire "CA Glue", aka black super glue, plastic wrap, good heavy bench vice with some C clamps when needed to laminate my parts back together and so far, when done right, its actually hard to tell that the part was ever broken in the first place. However, I do think there is still a point of no return and I am not afraid to toss a part in the trash. Recently I doubled up the top plate on my Cidora SL5 with this same glue and so far its has been pretty awesome at taking a hit and I don't notice the extra weight. I have since dropped the go pro for a runcam 5 orange and just yesterday started using my caddx tarsier but its looking like I might be going back to the go pro as getting the caddx on record and up in the air is too much work compared to just hitting a single button on an actual action camera but I do think the caddx footage looks really good at 2.k

@DVJiMATT 4 года назад

Don't forget over sized motors and battery so that once you strap an old tire around your drone you still have the power to fly. Tires work great. When laid flat (the opposite of the orientation on your vehicle, with drone in the middle, the props can still provide thrust due to the hole in the tire. Sucks in thru the top and out the bottom. Think of it as one big DUCT. And call it a B.F. Goodwhoop Ducted T/A.

@sketchy_dfpv4435 4 года назад

Don't forget the RX and its antenna(s)! For floppy antennas a la XM+, heatshrink them with a ziptie. For immortal-T antennas, might be a good idea to dab a bit of hot glue and/or epoxy over the part where the antenna protrudes from the 'T' housing, then heatshrink over them. Also don't forget to secure the u.fl connector that's usually used on the RX, especially when you've replaced the antenna and got rid of the yellow/white goop that secured the u.fl plug from the factory -- I find that a tiny dab of hot glue or a small piece of foam tape over the u.fl combined with heatshrink over the RX helps tremendously.

My first 5" quad was a E-Turbine TB-250 from Hobbyking years ago (search for the picture of one, it's hilarious), sure it has carbon fibre arms but it also has feet attached to the arms that stick out & catch on everything, and big triangle holes in the arms that ruin the strength (the reason for carbon fibre in the first place), hence why an arm did break easily. But I've got better at flying since then so coupled with the durability of current craft I break much less things :)

Route all cables carefully: - avoiding sharp parts of the frame - leaving just enough slack - do not expose then to the battery strap if possible - do not let them protrude unnecessarily, e.g. wire them "inwards" on the 4-in-1-ESC and then back out onto the arms instead of the shortest path.

only 1 frame I know of that is near impossible to eject a battery...Skoll V2...that with 2 straps and an additional 2mm carbon plate sandwiching the battery...almost zero lipo problems anymore

@axfpvalex1944 4 года назад

Yes listen to the guy before me, put a carbon fiver plate sandwich between bat and frame, just use any 1 or 2 mm plate that you have around ,make sure cover the bat,you b good for a while,yeah for a while

The only problem with their warranty is that if you live somewhere where their shipping takes 2 weeks to get to you, you always have to wait 2 weeks until you can fly again. Or you buy a second frame as a spare and then you have spent 200$. Alternatively if you buy a cheaper frame for like 50$ that has 5$ arms you can just have a spare frame or a bunch of spare parts laying around without spending 200$ and you can repair immediately after a bad crash. Maybe I'm just a bit prejudiced against expensive frames :)

@@PenPeng I broke the arm on my Marmotte and they are sending me a badger conversion with 2 extra arms. Waiting sucks but I'll never have to wait again. I'm prejudice against expensive frames too but they have really made it worth it.
