New challenges. Mini brushed quad. Coming soon.

Hello everyone.

Free Drone Flyers Team just wants to post a short article to give you some approaches about the new challenges that are to come on the blog.

We have minds on some new projects for the new year, even these two are currently starting.

The first two, would be two quads mountings, based on spare parts, but both so different between them.

First one will be a tiny FPV quad. It will be very useful in currently days, according the cold temperatures we are experiencing, which make us complicated to fly outside.

Even more, it’s another way to practice to fly with FPV in a bounded environment, preventing injuries and big crashes.

Will be based on Lantian 105 frame.

To build it we would use new parts purchased on purpose to do it, but also with some spare parts previously got as spare parts of another previous quads, especially beginner ones used in first flights.

Therefore, we would try to mount a tiny quad as cheap as possible, but also keeping a good performance.

Our second step, will be second drone assemblage. Will suppose a great change to one of the most flighted quads on our tests. Will swap the famed ZMR250 fiberglass to new f210 carbon fibber, coming from DARC guys. It’s based on a lower unibody frame and looks really nice.

Will perform a deep analysis of it next days, keeping in mind the very next project will be Lantian 105.

Would like to share first impressions and first feelings as soon as possible.

See you soon.

Cheers.

FDFlyers.

RCX ZMR 1804 2400KV Brushless Motors

To my first review it’s fair to beggin with the very first motor that I use in my first DIY drone, RCX ZMR 1804 2400KV. I set it in f250 glass fiber quad. In fist lookup RCX are small and light motors but powerfull anyway. Exactly 13.4g, so perfect to set and don’t be worried about the weight. Furthermore, it’s diameter only 23mm, 5mm in axis. Theoretically, provide 2400KV and may set with 2S (7.4V) or 3S (11.1V) batteries so discard mounting with 4S batteries, are not allowed, looking in datasheets. Package include M2 screws to fix the motors in the frame. Also, one nut per motor to set the propellers. Could be found in CW (Clock Wise) and CCW (Counter Clock Wise) but, to be honest, I have never found CW model. It’s could a problem using nut provided in the package, because tend to unscrew. Also, screws are quite short and should be re-screw almost before every flight. Both issues could be easily solved. Setting few larger M2 screws, cheap and common, let you ...

Adding external DVR to FPV goggles

Being FPV lovers as we are, FDFlyers team know how only a small group of lucky people could have a Fatshark FPV goggles. Keeping in mind cost, you should valuate pros and cons a lot before purchase it. Therefore, we love to get you cheaper alternatives to fly FPV, improving our basic goggles performance. So, we are going to introduce you how we join VR-007 Eachine goggles to Eachine ProDVR. Note that other alternatives are also valid to do it but we really feel this is one of the better one. VR-007 are used by our side some time ago and it works really acceptable, despite of his price. Obviously “premium” skills are not included (DVR, diversity…), and this is the main reason to set some improvements. This way these basic goggles would be stepping up to next level. What DVR is? DVR means, literally, Digital Video Recorder. It’s a very simple box capable to record digital videos. To our interest, very useful video recorder, directly from FPV camera. There are two ma...

Changing LIPO battery connectors

First question came to our minds is, really it is neccesary to change my battery connectors? Is it usefulll? Have any sense? Easy to do? This question, like most in the RC hobby, could be answered the same. It depends . We would like to introduce you some posible situations to understand why could be interesting to make the change. Maybe you have began in RC some time ago with planes and now you are interested to fly with quads, but plane batteries are mount different connectors. Could give second chance to your old batteries just swapping connectors. Perhaps you have bougth some new batteries, announced in a big photo with a XT-60 connectors. When these batteries arrived home you noticed that connectors are T-connectors and it was indicated in the webside, just below of the photo. You obviously need to change these connectors. And the final situation. You are navigating in internet and, checking your most visited webs, you have found a really crazy offer of batter...
