Usmile HSK5 220mm $22 Frame Amazon Prime
Usmile HSK5 220mm budget FPV Racing Drone Build. All parts available on Amazon.
With warm weather moving in, those of us that live where it snows half the year, will finally be able to get outside and do some flying without freezing our butts off I've decided to put together a budget 5 inch quad to do some park flying with this spring. I've put together a list of most of the parts I've used for my build. I had some Holybro 2205 2550kv motors, and 30A ESC's in my boxes waiting to be used on something, so below are the parts I'll be using with those. I know not everyone has motors, and ESC's lying around, so I've also added some budget options for those as well, in case anyone wants to do a similar build. For anyone that has looked at this frame on Amazon, and wondered about it, I am very happy to say that it is an extremely nice frame. The assembly instructions are easy to follow. The frame kit includes all necessary hardware, as well as a carbon protective plate for the battery, a foam pad for the battery plate, and a nice battery strap. It is also solid as a rock once it is assembled. I have to say that I am really impressed with it. Frame Flight Controller PDB Motors ESC's Camera VTX Props Battery Everything listed above is Prime eligible, so Prime members can put together this great performing 5 inch quad for under $145 with free 2 day shipping. Obviously you will still need to add a receiver to match your radio, but I'm not going to go into that in this particular build. If you are interested in doing a similar build, and would like advice on a radio set up don't hesitate to ask. I'll be happy to help. There are a lot of great, affordable options out there. I am still awaiting the arrival of my FPV gear for this build, but in the meantime I have gotten the quad programmed, and ready for an LOS maiden. I will be sure to post some flight video shortly. Check out the pics, and as always, don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have. Happy Flying!! Edit-Maiden flight was a success. Now it's time to try it out on some Gemfan 5152 Whisky props. |
