    I'm giving away a TBS crossfire long-range setup

    As away to both give back to the community and possibly pick up a few new subscribers at the same time, I'm giving away a crossfire Micro setup. Details in the vid: (I'm not a commercial entity, I don't make money from quads, even my Youtube channel isn't monetized)

    I'm giving away a whole ton of stuff (FC,diversity,frames,etc)

    Well thank you :) hope you have fun flying - it's a steep learning curve but sooooo much fun!

    I'm giving away a whole ton of stuff (FC,diversity,frames,etc)

    As a way of trying to give back to the community, I'm giving away a ton of stuff to my Youtube subscribers, including a couple of AIO betaflight F3 flight controllers, 2 frames, an FPV watch and a diversity receiver. Check out the details here:

    I have a RunCam Split to give away - RunCam Split giveaway!

    Hey thanks! I also have the same problem with my graphics card, can't run a sim. That's why I crash so much ;)

    I have a RunCam Split to give away - RunCam Split giveaway!

    The idea is to give back to the awesome FPV community, amd at the same time maybe pick up a few more YouTube subscribers...

    I'm doing another giveaway, this one is pretty cool: A Boscam FPV video watch.

    Not sure if you watched the video, but I agree - I find it very useful for checking out what other pilots are doing, what channel they are on, check for good/bad channels, working on your quad and checking video without having to put on goggles, etc.

    I'm giving away a set of M9 hall effect gimbals for your Taranis

    I've been giving back to the community by doing some giveaways of gear. This time it's a set of hall effect gimbals since I was sent an extra pair. Just subscribe & post a comment in the video. (no, I don't make money from my channel.)

    So I made an adapter to turn two 3s batteries into one 6s battery and flew it. Holy crap it's fast

    Race quads are definitely a money-sucker, and they are also a time investment . They are built to crash, but even then you're always breaking frames, motors, vTx's, etc etc. Almost everyone I know keeps a stock of parts... Having said that, I like the repair aspect to it - it's really...

    So I made an adapter to turn two 3s batteries into one 6s battery and flew it. Holy crap it's fast

    The battery weight definitely made a difference. My plan is to try and pick up a cheap 1300mAh battery (I already have one other 3s 1300), and try that. On a quad this size, the extra weight makes a big difference in terms of power/weight ratio because they are already so light. The flight...

    So I made an adapter to turn two 3s batteries into one 6s battery and flew it. Holy crap it's fast

    I appreciate your input, but I don't quite understand your point - I did wire them in series, and the voltage did double. It shows all this in the video. I'm not sure why you are talking about parallel - did you perhaps misread my post? The components can definitely take the voltage (they...

    So I made an adapter to turn two 3s batteries into one 6s battery and flew it. Holy crap it's fast

    Oh also - I forgot to mention... I typically run this quad at 4s - I have a ton (20+) of 4s packs and 3 3s packs, I only ever use the 3s packs for testing & bench stuff, so they have been a bit of a waste.. until now! Maybe I need to try 2 4s packs for an 8s quad? I'm sure there would be smoke...

    So I made an adapter to turn two 3s batteries into one 6s battery and flew it. Holy crap it's fast

    No, I built the adapter to work in series, which means it adds the voltages together - you can see in the video because I measured it! It didn't fry the boards because most boards these days are rated for 5 or 6s.

    So I made an adapter to turn two 3s batteries into one 6s battery and flew it. Holy crap it's fast

    All the parts in the drone are rated up to 6s (24.9v), except the motors. I'm using an FT48X vTx, a betaflight F3 all-in-one PDB/FC/OSD, an 1177 camera (powered from the 5v from the vTx) and armattan 30A esc's. So, that means that everything should be OK with the voltage except theoretically...

    Another giveaway - this time it's a Frame and Flight controller package

    The last giveaway was really well received, so I figure I'll keep doing them. The idea is to give back to the community and at the same time pick up some new subscribers to my channel. (I don't monetize the channel)
