Tero Q215 - Build & Setup and Maiden Flight - First FPV Quad
This is my fourth RC video! This is my very first FPV quad and brushless quad! I went from micro brushed drones with no FPV to a 5in brushless racing quad. This build project took place between the end of December of 2020 and March of 2021. As usual, I am glad that I documented the process and that I and am able to share the experience with others which serves as both instructional and entertaining content. Information about the quad as well as electronics and components that are included in this kit will be listed below. There will also be a website where you can find more information. If you have any questions, feel free to ask below in the comments!
🞇Creator Message: Be sure to reference the chapters in the video if you would like to see different parts of the process! This video has a sort of a documentary type style. You can jump to the flight footage, watch the frame building, electronics setup, software and quad setup, etc! Enjoy!
🞇Information: I won this quad in Albert Kim's giveaway back in December, thanks again Albert! I ended up building the quad the way it was intended for the most part but I bought standard nylon standoffs to mount the boards which made it much simpler than what was intended. I also got a Flysky FS-X6B Receiver which was compatible with my Flysky i6x transmitter (AFHDS 2A protocol). I am also running the quad on a SBUS protocol between the receiver and flight controller.
Throughout the flights in this video, I had the throttle limited to half throttle when my transmitter was in full throttle position, meaning that this thing has a lot of power at full throttle which I can hopefully test in a future video.
