Hello and welcome to my build.
Okay not a real death machine, I just saw LemonyLeprosy call it that and thought it was hilarious.
I realized I wouldn't scratch a certain itch until I built a quad form the ground up. In order, I've flown: the DRL simulator, then the E-MAX TinyhawkIII, and finally the Cinebot30 before taking this on but still feel the need for more.
I did a little searching around on IntoFPV along with Oscar's site and made decisions based on what I found so hopefully I'm doing this right.
Here's the materials I'm using, all RDQ links, no affiliation (though I'm totally down to be lol), but I prefer them as they're close to home and they've been nothing but good to me with 3D printing, veteran discounts, and ultra fast shipping.
FlyFishRC Volador II VX5 O3 5" Freestyle Frame - This was honestly a toss-up between True X and Deadcat but reviews said they performed similar and I'm sure there's a deadcat long range in my future
SpeedyBee F405 V3 BLS 3-6S 30x30 Stack/Combo (F405 FC / 8Bit 50A 4in1 ESC) - I wanted something cheap to start with in case I fried it. Oscar said "Cheapest worth having"
iFlight Xing2 2306 1755Kv Motor - Seems popular for 5" builds and Oscar said it's "tried and true". No gambles on the first build lol
RadioMaster RP3 2.4GHz ELRS Diversity Receiver - Should pair well with my Radiomaster Boxer Tx w/ ELRS
Gemfan Hurricane 51477 Tri-Blade 5" Prop - They fit, and I don't know a lot about blades yet so I bought a ton of these.
DJI O3 Air unit because the video is just unreal for me going from analog to O3 on the Cinebot30
Debating adding GPS since I'll have long range hardware everywhere else. If I do it'll be this: TBS M8.2 GPS Glonass because I bought it and never used it on my Cinebot30. (surprisingly not sold at RDQ)
NOTE: I'm awful at taking pictures when I'm focused on something and I'm starting this thread half through the build.
