Build your own FPV Drone

Woohoo! It’s been a while since I scribbled something in here and guys – I think we should write more often. Anyway! Since today I have published part 2 of the build video – I would like to write a couple of things here, so you can have a full overview of the things. Let’s go!

Parts list

I guess before we get our screwdrivers and soldering iron out – I need to share the parts list, so we are all on the same page. Those are affiliate links and if you buy anything using them – I will be getting a small commission. So it’s a win-win situation! Parts mentioned:

First steps:

I would like to explain everything in a blog post in writing. But since I made everything in a detailed video that contains tips, tricks etc – I will just leave it here. Be sure to check out the version with subtitles in your own language, so we are on the same page 🙂

Finishing the build:

Connecting the FC, Camera, VTX, and RX has never been easier with the new Flightone H7. But I still managed to complicate it a little for myself:

My tune:

In the video, I am mentioning my own tune on FL1 board. And since I had to speed up the video for this process – I owe you a full setup from me:
