Exciting times I just got a couple kits from flite test to assemble and start learning the ropes with fixed wing too, so at the beginning of another journey too I'm sure, keep us posted!

I think everything listed would work but couple things I would tweak. For transmitter have hear bad things about lock in with ACCST protocol I like any radio that runs openTX software (largely worked on by frsky but also an open source project), however I also like the ones with a module bay...

Also you are best off getting the transmitter/controller (jumper or radiomaster) first since can use sims on your computer with the controller as input to learn to fly acro mode there without rebuilding a thousand times (believe me I printed my first frame too and printed like 20 replacement...

Initially can just learn to fly line of sight and kind of a good skill to have if you need to do it, that said different skill from flying fpv. For fpv you'll need a vtx on the quad that sends the analog video over the air as RF and then a receiver that picks up the 5.8GHz signal you can find...

I think brushed are good for micros but anything bigger would still go brushless if you fly a lot you'll definitely burn out the brushed motors in a couple of months whereas brushless will last until you knock a magnet loose or destroy the bearing/shaft somehow. That said whatever gets you...

Hrm I've had basically all F4 boards (at least 3 or 4 of them, but typically omnibusF4 or something similar so the tarot layout is a bit unfamiliar), also used mostly spektrum/DSMX receivers. Will let you know if anything surfaces but only thing I'm seeing in watching overview vid here of the...

Just to verify make sure to hit save in config tab or any other tab when making changes also make sure the rx and tx are bound so you aren't just seeing idle or timeout values from the rx and getting actual stick data sent along. Not really familiar with the FC but can't say I've run into any...

Make sure to set the protocol to spektrum2048 or 1024 in the configuration tab... There may be other limitations for which UART is used for DSM receivers are hooked up to but usually I just follow the manual or pinout page if one is available regarding where to hook up a spektrum receiver.

Yah the CF is conductive too would advise against. It would make for much cleaner build than mine with phase wires dangling all over the place but think introduces more problems than its worth

2020 strikes again :D Stuff happens thanks for sharing good and the bad keeping it real ;)

The last goggle and camera combo you linked the camera has vtx attached can see antenna on there so no need for separate vtx in that case.

Those batteries will work in the short term but likely over discharging them and bigger size means more load on the motors etc.

Listen here you are not hearing what I'm saying the controller screen is just for setting up the controller it has 0 to do with the fpv system.

Regarding batteries ovionic are good and not terrible expensive but any 3 or 4S battery with 1300mAh-1550mAh or so is a good size (assuming like 100A max discharge or like 60-80C battery at that size)

You need vtx to plug the camera into and for it to transmit a video signal to the goggles. The transmitter and receiver for control signal is completely separate from the video signal not sure how else to say it. Cam goes to vtx vtx transmits video analog signal at 5.8GHz, then receiver on the...

Best and cheapest are two different asks. To save some cash I'd say either look at the BetaFPV transmitter and "frsky receivers" that will work with it ( the video or vtx link is separate from the control link again see the drawing for real ) or looks at used Jumper T16 and check into the...

As you can see in the diagram above the vid transmitter goes to receiver in the ground and the controller or transmitter in your hands separately goes to the quad on a different radio link so shouldn't interfere but still need tx receiver and video receiver to complete the set.

Yah can't say for the particular radio you're looking at but at the ones I mentioned have a USB port so can plug into a computer and act as the input for simulators. My old spektrum DX6i didn't have USB so had to buy a separate spektrum/dsm USB receiver for it to act as input but then wireless...

In general need a compatible receiver on the quad side usually with tiny whoop it's all in 1 pcb cause can't deal with extra weight might be hard to find a compatible one the top two brands are frsky and spektrum. Jumper and RadioMaster make T16 and T18 models of radio that have 4 or 5 in on...

Indeed that is a huge bonus often things break in or at the connector for antenna and are up a creek.
