Hi all,
Got into the RC hobby at 13 (I'm 24 now) when I built a kit RC car, after a few years and replacement parts I migrated from ground to air with my first little 4ch helicopter. I have played with several toy grade quads over the last few years and had a great amount of fun flying around the living room. In December 2016 I bought the (then) new Mavic Pro from DJI, I loved that it had a camera on it and I got a different view of the world, this is when my general interest developed into a hobby.
I started watching FPV pilots on Youtube and wanted to be able to fly like them, the Mavic although great for photography and video work just didn't cut it for me on the fun factor. So I started looking for a good way to get into the FPV hobby, and decided to build a Tiny Whoop from an E010, TX01 and the VR007 googles... I think I flew it for 1 night before ordering a Taranis X7, and all the parts I would need to build a faster and more powerful Whoop style indoor racer.
A few weeks of racing around the house and I decided it was time to graduate to something a little larger... Thanks to videos from 'UAVFutures' and 'Project Blue Falcon' I ordered all the parts to build my first 5inch (parts listed below). After hours of building, I was so happy to see it fly! I've been flying for a little over a month now, I've gone through plenty of props but everything else has held up well.
I've been visiting this forum for a few days now, excellent content and great people, thought it was time to make an account and introduce myself, sorry for the long intro....
A video I stitched together from a day of flying a couple of weeks ago (I didn't shorten it so its quite long, just have a flick through if you're interested)
My quad:

Parts:
Frame = RealaccX210
FC = Omnibus F4
PDB = Diatone v8.3
Motors = Racerstar 2205 2300KV
ESC = Racerstar RS30A v2
VTX = Eachine TX526
Camera = Runcam Swift 2
RX = XSR Frsky reciever
Props = Kingkong 5040
DYS antenna
Just got the Fatshark V4's to replace my box googles last week.
Have been flying Tattu 3S batteries, but I just ordered some 4S which should be here next week.
