There are many UAV components here, last time there was a client who sold many of the M100 accessories, but these are the accessories of Dajiang, the price is more expensive.

where do you get the component

RCDIY:
So, I ordered 2 sets of FC and ESCs. I intend using one set for remaking my previous 250 to include FPV parts.

The other set will go to my other thread where I will continue my quest for mission-capable quadcopter using iNAV.

Additional parts are:
Video Transmitter
Video receiver
LCD monitor
FPV camera

I will start work on it by tomorrow night and hopefully be flying on Saturday.

The iNAV build is complete. Actually had it flying 2 weeks ago but had a nasty crash due to incorrect magnetometer operations.

I got it repaired and eventually tested today.
Return To Home (RTH) works like a charm. Also Position Hold (PH) is quite accurate. GPS was picking over 15 satellites.

I will perform a Waypoint mission next.

Finally!! Congrats. Expecting more. Any videos?

Thanks, bro.

I tried Waypoints today and it was really cool. I drew a mission on Google map and the Quadcopter followed the path. So iNAV build is done. Next is videos.
Truth is I am yet to make any cool video cos I go flying all by myself. Next weekend, I will get a friend to accompany me.
Videos are usually too large for NL. I intend putting them on my YouTube channel.

When I've got something doing I'll definitely build a quad. I'd really love to see videos soon and I'll sure follow you on YouTube then. Keep the good work going.
Get a friend that loves what you do to help out.

Here's a short video while I was testing the Return To Home (RTH) feature. I was going to do a mission but birds in the area kept diving on the quad.

Welcome, chief.
There isn't any EDF threads (at least none here on NL that I'm aware of) but you could start up one.

Lack of flying spots is the major reason I do not want to venture into fixed wings RC. I've seen a number of guys put together a plane here and there on the internet but no real thread (again, as far as I know).

But don't let these deter you. You can start it yourself. There are tons of guides available online.

Welcome once again

That particular deal is long gone, bro.
There strict restrictions on shipping of Lipo batteries so I usually buy what's available (Turnigy, Zippy, other Chinese brands)
If you're not brand specific, I could help you fetch them. You'll need to provide more details (C rating, Plug type, etc).
Let me know if you're interested.

Cheers!

hi guys,

are u all in Nigeria

i am into fpv fix wings

i even build li-ion battery here in Nigeria

i do Long range flying about 27km out sometimes

thanks

Sure, we are in Nigeria, bro. Good to know you're into RC planes.
Can you share more on the batteries you build? (Size, capacity, weight..) I may want something from you soon.
Also share the specs of the plane you use for your long range flight. The FPV rig is of particular interest to me.

Thank you.

It's been so long since I posted here. Too busy but still make time for the hobby now and then.

Hopefully, I will post some videos in the coming days.

This is wow. But aren't flying as if you've just started picking interest in fixed wings. Nice one. Guess you've got some onboard flight stabilizers. Wish I had similar open space around. Have you thought about scratch building? It's fun you know. Have fun!

brendan007:


Happy New year, Chief.

Nah! That's not me flying ooo! That's a Jet-powered plane worth over 700k. Na one of my ogas get am. I have some foam fixed wings and still training.

Scratch build is interesting, I know. When I get comfortable flying, I'll definitely build one large glider.

Thank you.

Flying something that expensive does need very experienced hands. Kudos to your Oga. I've always loved fixed wings. Hope to fly a real one someday.

Someone crashed a jet worth $14,000 2 yrs back. Before the wreck was reached, there was nothing to salvage as the plane burst into flames on impact.

Not sure I'll ever spend more than a few hundred bucks on this hobby at a time.

No way!! That was a colossal loss. I can't spend much myself. That's why I prefer to scratch build using locally available material. Anyways, I can be certain the person in question has not left the hobby as a result of the loss.

Nope. He still flies his other planes. Has quite a collection of them. Na big man

Hey guys,

Any ideas on where I can get a 4s 1500 - 2200mAh LiPo battery (any C rating above 40 will do just fine)?

The restrictions on shipping LiPo batteries are too stifling.

I've found fixed wings much cheaper to play with, especially delta wing models.
With the right materials, it costs less than 2k to make a frame.
Electronics would be 2pcs of servos, one motor and battery (except if you're like myself that love to use flight controllers).
Of course you'd have a Radio Transmitter (and receiver) to begin with.

The model below took about 2 sheets of 10cm X 100cm X 120cm polystyrene sheets to build. Cost (of polystyrene) is about 2k.
I'll share a video showing the build process later

This is beautiful! The major challenge I have building fixed wing is keeping the weight down as much as possible given that balsa wood isn’t readily available and could be quite expensive to purchase. I’ve always thought about where I could get those polystyrene sheets to build with. Where did you get those from?
