 Hello everybody and welcome back to my vlog to my channel. I just wanted to give you a little bit of an update of the Long range well medium to long range is you know, what depends what you consider to be long range or not quad built Drone Now this is the last one on the hardware basically. I'm just going to show you how I've put this in I've gone for the 30.5 Scale you can get smaller 20 by 20 and I'm not using an all-in-one stack or anything Basically, I'm using what I've used before in other builds, which is the Caddx camera I find it to be pretty good with a ND filter on there Not so good without an ND filter The only thing I bought new for this is the frame a long range frame and the ESC's these I bought them because they're very narrow as you can see these are I think likes I can't remember what they are, but they're very very narrow. These are the talon sky star talon 48 40 amp, sorry and They've got a heat sink built on top Which is quite nice and they got LEDs. I've not actually seen these lit up yet because I've not powered any of this just yet It's not Set up in your software or anything. I just wanted to show you the sort of thing you you might be dealing with You know when it comes to the wiring and it can all start looking like a bit of a colossal mess and These is just one of the things, you know, yeah, as you as you build you'll be able to make these Pretty much smaller and smaller even though. This is pretty much on its limit Wow small I can get this imagine there look that's for the top for the GPS now I Set mine so my antenna is at the back the control and ten is at the back and video transmitter is at the four so four and the app and The reason why I've done it like that is because even though it's not a set rule and I'll show you Even though it's not a set rule, let me just push that up away because if you can see this little thing here This has the VTX and the receiver pretty much on top of each other down here Because the VTX is this bottom part In amongst just in the top of this space here is the actual receiver For this but what I don't like about it is that to me is just too close for long range for this the way This is is great. Just for flying around a bit of fun. So I'll see you bring this is a hundred and forty two grams all in Even with a 4k camera It might be an extra gram when the ND filters on there But even with a 4k camera is 142 grams. This is brilliant, but it's no good for long range. All right, there's The battery and everything the flight times of this is five minutes tops But so it's not as though it's a rule. Oops, there's my thing in number. I think you can do anything with that anyway I don't think it's a rule But I don't like doing it like that, especially if it's going to be something for you know Trying to get a bit of an extended distance So what I like to do is try to have them as far away from each other as possible the video transmitter No, that's gonna be on there. I'm not quite sure yet what I'm putting on there could be this this fat shark thing This is no good because there It doesn't have the pin on the middle and that means I have to put an adapter in there And there's a little bit of loss associated with that We're gonna try and keep as much gain as we can so it's probably gonna be one of these just because it will go everything's all black on here and Another thing about it as well is I've bummed my battery, so it's gonna swing underneath No, it's gonna be underneath because if I were to put the battery on the top where I believe that that's where they might You know, so have you put it given these lines near for your strap to get through? I'm not gonna be able to put the GPS and As this is gonna be a bit of a longer range thing and as I've got these GPS needs are very good these new blocks N8M NEOs Very good GPS It's got a bigger antenna and for me for a long range. I prefer to have a bigger antenna. I got a small one We could swap that on pop that on top, but again, it means that's gonna be somewhere where the battery has to be All would have been and so the battery on mine is gonna sling underneath Like I say my receiver antenna at the back here. This is my little receiver and I'll just use You know a zip tie or Whatever to keep that in place underneath there and this will actually You know, you just better push in to push it through there The actual video transmitter, but anything you can see you might just be able to see where it connects in Put a bit of light on that you might just be able to see where it connects in underneath there On the AMX XC or whatever it is connection I don't know if you cannot look trust me. It's it's underneath there and it Sits out to the back here a little bit. That's where the power cables come out there if you can see the board Just down there So it looks like it's all a bit of a cluster Effort and it's But you know that that should work reasonably well when I say long distance a lot of this is gonna be How far can your battery get you and back of course safe But it will be fun to play around with and it will be able to be you know Longer distance and you have a little while just showing you because the battery that's gonna go on here The batteries I've used before I Don't know how much juice they're gonna have left in them because I have three so I come quite a bit But these are just to be compacts 220 2200 or 2.2 amps 2200 million 25 C series just because hey I'm not gonna be pumping this and trying to do flips and rolls even though it will be capable of it But it will probably put some thing on the battery this one's got a slight So I have to watch that one. It's got a slight bubbling very slight the other ones I've got down So I expect there'd be better, but I may just get some refreshed batteries anyway by some new ones I Like to got a little caddocks on the front just for now. I don't know what to put in there I wanted to have enough space to be able to put that and maybe sticky 4k camera On here somehow. I do have a little fitting That came with that other little quad I showed you that may I may be able to put Fit it through here, you know and connect it through and just have it right on the front But maybe not I mean, I'm not quite sure I'm gonna do that I may have to move this around at some point in order to be able to do that Maybe see if I can get it squeezed into here. I don't really like putting super tight bends on the wires That's not so bad, but if you start, you know, you start crimping that wire up too much It's it's just not really good practice to do that Twizzling all these wires up is a good idea because of the way the magnetic fields work as you've got You know juice flying around it and it'll cancel cancel them out And it also means you've not got individual wires just sticking out because that can become a transmission or an antenna And depending on the frequencies that are used So that's it. Yeah, this is this is once it goes together and then these are the tails for the battery I'm not quite established. I'll get a battery strapped on it and work out what the best Length of this is gonna be and then get the XT60 put on there And that's it that that's basically what it's gonna be like it's gonna be like this with that sticking out here So we've got the active side here and there you can tell that with these antennas got one slightly longer in the other and That will fit in there This will be sat on the top of here Once I can get it to screw on there Set like that and just for now. It's gonna like I say it can have that camera I will be able to see the props through it. I Got some props here Oh So with that sat on there, it's quite a bit of distance actually if I put that on there Look, he's still quite a bit of distance. It may even be good for eight inch props But that's yeah, that would actually that would actually have had that's the right prop for the right motor So it'd be spinning inwards those ones be spinning outwards, but we'll settle that up in the software Like I say with ease, you know, if there's one not the right way around I don't need to cut that up I just adjust it in the software just reverse it It's not a big problem So there we go. That is the update with this nothing special nothing great here But it seems that once it's all on and this is all down and on and Everything else is connected up. I get the software I'll give you a little show it up and then we'll get it up in the air and see see what we got So we've got some that flies relatively stable Straight from default settings, which is what we want and normally that's the way it goes You did default settings will do that for you At least that's been in my experience And I'll sit there transmitter Receiver and receive. All right guys. Hey, thanks if you've watched this and so far be watching these videos it's been a while since I've built one of these and I Can't wait actually to get up in here So that should be by the end of the week just because I've got a whole bunch of things I've got to do this week doctors and bits and pieces and I will talk to you shortly. Bye for now
