 I thought to myself, hey, you know, the Hobson, a lot of us bought the Hobson because we like to look at it. We didn't know what it was going to fly like, we didn't know how many things would or wouldn't work correctly. But we liked what we saw and we liked this little design. Nice sporty looking thing. Everything inside. And that's why a lot of us bought it. Because a lot of us weren't looking for the technical spec inside. We were just looking for a little quadcopter, a little drone that could be flying around, a half way decent camera on it and you could take video with it. But as time goes on and you crash it or you realize that your props are going to be so well balanced to get rid of that jello or the ND filters and everything else. The Hobson still looks like a nice little quad. It still looks like a little quad that can be played around with and it's quite happy with 7 inch propellers on it. So you can get a bit of endurance out of this thing. So I've decided to show you what I did inside of mine because you never know. You might be like me where you think, yeah, I quite like the Hobson. The problem that I got with it is that it doesn't fly the way I want it to. I don't have access to the software the way I'd like to. I can't make the changes in the settings the way I'd like to be able to. It's all going to be done through Hobson and their firmware updates. So this takes away all that. And all you're going to do to start off with this is either have a Hobson, still got a Hobson, get yourself one of these shells, 16 pounds from Banggood. Everything that I talk about I'll stick a list in the description. You keep the motors because they're nice motors. They are nice motors. They tend to work pretty well and quite quiet and with a 7 inch prop they work pretty good. Especially with the 2S thing going on. So you get to keep all the batteries, all the bits and pieces. Everything stays the same. We're going to change the ESC's, so we want to be able to program the ESC's. So I got a Little Bee. Is that right? Little Bee. Favorites. 20 amps. Again, they'll be in the description. I use a Matec 3 amp 5 volt board. So this is the same board as I use on a lot of things. Yep, this one is different but it's not actually being used. But just about everything I build I use the same board. It's one of these because one they're cheap and they work really well. So there we go. We got a shell. We got the ESC's. We got the main power distribution board. And that gets you started. And then all you got to do is think about a flight controller. And it all depends what you're going to do this flight controller. Whatever you've got kicking around. I suppose it all depends on what you've got kicking around. Better find a way to mount it. When I first did this I used a bit of plastic. This is a bit of plastic from the enclosure. And it's got a bit of flex in it. But it still did the job. It just sits on top here. And will give me enough space underneath as it should. The battery to slide in and out. So the battery goes across the top here on these runners. And it finishes here with these stops. It sits on top of these runners. You've got everywhere in between. And some liners like this. They would have been very similar to that. But I decided to take that off in quite literally half the weight. That seems in focus. I used this with a carbon fibre from another quad. It's just one of those cheap frames. The one I used for my little GPS quad. And so that sits on there now. And that will hold everything. So the flight controller will go on there. I was going to put a video transmitter there. But I'm not quite sure I may just adjust it slightly. I'm not sure. I was hoping that I could get it to my flight controller. The USB would stick out of the back. But that hasn't worked out the plan. So I have to think of something else. I'm actually thinking about going down the Bluetooth path. Just because it might be easier for me just to slot this into it somewhere. And just use Bluetooth to access settings, changes, firmware, upgrades, etc. Most of the other things I'll be able to do from the remote, from the controller. So yeah. This is going to be the start of just a couple of videos for this one. It's going to be this one just telling you about what it is I'm doing. And the next one is going to be with the parts fitted in. Pretty much going. If you want me to do something in between, say. But chances are you won't. There's so many videos out there showing you how you connect up this. How you connect up that. But maybe as we go down the path. Everything that I do will have a video made out of it. So yeah. So this is what I'm going to start doing the hubs. And now I've chosen to put in a Caddx Ratel at this minute in time. Just because it's got a nice picture on there. And it's going to be ideal for what I want to do. I'm not saying you're all going to want to choose the same thing. I'm choosing that just for now. Because I've got it, it's here, I've got it. And the other small camera that I've got really is this little Swift 2. And that's to go on the back of my wing. So we get some of that video going off backwards when I do launches. All coming in for landing. However it is I want to do it. So there you go. If you were wondering what you could do with that. I'll just let you see up in there. Look we've got a receiver up in there. Look at that fast guy. We've got the flight control there. It's all hanging about, swinging about at the moment. Because of course that will have to be bolted down but it won't get done until I put it all together. And the VTX is on it. I'm wondering if this is actually focused or not. Ah, maybe I should press that button there. Let me just put that down a second. There we go. Yeah does that. That lets me focus and all that. Yes we use that UFL connection anyway. So there we go. There you go guys. You know you wonder what you could do with that. 16 pound frame. Because think about it right. This is 16 pounds for the frame. It costs like about 10 pounds each for the motors. And all honestly. It hardly costs anything for a little sporty looking thing like this. Don't expect it to perform that great. It's on 2S. But who cares? As long as you can fly this thing around and have some fun with it. Who cares? You get to use the same motors and everything. But that's it. My little Hobson 501 project that is going to be turned into the Hobson, well the H501 SE I'm going to call it. This is a H501S. But then it's been a lucky fund. Alright guys. I'll see you in the next one. Bye for now. Take care everybody.
