https://youtu.be/-3P2SFZthbU Tom "Proto" FPV sent me some of the great HQ 5x4.3x3 tri blades. These are the best that I've used, especially for freestyle. Might be a bit under propped for racing, maybe need more pitch, but I'm sure these would work well. These are just so smooth and forgiving, and handle like butter. I've wanted to test these with my new motors for some time but have been out of these particular props for some time. I need to order some, but in the meantime Proto saved me :) Check out Proto's YouTube page here; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfGeygJH3l-gKWpkoY1c9JQ Flight footage begins at the 3:00 mark, sorry for the long video. I wanted to get a little review of the blades and a thank you to Proto before the flight test. Oh and I hope everyone likes he slow motion idle up footage, turned out well I thought. Thank you and please like and sub !  https://www.YouTube.com/user/JDogB1https://www.AirVuz.com/user/FireBladehttps://www.InstaGram.com/Jason_FireBlade#iFlight#HQProps#FireBlade_FPV#Betaflight#DShot#XING

https://youtu.be/C7HhKwTjRqA Last pack at one of my favorite spots, trying to get some time in while the sun is out. Sooooo cold, but have to fly ! Made a few small changes on the PID tune, also mixing up my rates a bit. Lowering the RC rate and lowering expo. In the past I've ran about default RC rate and Super Rate just a bit lower than default, but I use a lot of expo. I've been working with the Velocidrone simulator and trying some different settings, on the sim I really like using a lower RC rate around .80 or .85 and not as much expo, around .1 rather than my normal .4 or so. Kind of two ways of doing the same thing, I like to set my rates so they are slower around the middle of the sticks and speed up a bit toward the ends. Can achieve this by using expo and\or lower RC Rate. I don't want it too spongy around the beginning of control sticks, I don't like it to be dead in the middle and then all of a sudden the quad responds, that is not good. Rather start out very slow at beginning of control sticks, and slowly increases the further toward the ends. I don't use all that fast of rates though, maximum around 600 deg\sec. Racing I will lower that more around 400 or so.

https://youtu.be/6Mnvv0EosW8 The rain stopped for a few minutes so I ran out and flew a couple packs. Pushing the new motors with Gemfan 5149 blades. I like them but they seem to have just a bit of shake, I wouldn't call it jello so much but you can see how they are not quite as butter smooth as some such as the HQ 5x4.3x3 V1s which are super smooth on this tune. Not bad, but could be better, maybe some additional tuning would help. I would consider these Gemfan more for racing and are probably great for that. I think the Gemfan Windancer props were a bit more smooth and less aggressive, probably their freestyle blade. Great day and some sun, but it was still very cold ! Spring will be here soon :) Thank you for watching !! https://www.YouTube.com/user/JDogB1https://www.AirVuz.com/user/FireBladehttps://www.InstaGram.com/Jason_FireBladeFPV#iFlight#XING#Betaflight#FireBlade_FPV#DShot#QAV#QAVR

https://youtu.be/39iK0v855MU New propellers arrived from iFlight, the Nazgul 5061. These are super aggressive props, and I've been waiting to try them. Might be over propped, but still fun to try, seem super fast ! I was very surprised at how smooth they are, considering how aggressive they look. We will see when we do some HD FPV :) iFlight XING 2306 2450kv motors. iFlight Nazgul 5061 blades.

https://youtu.be/sfL_FMNoihk Audio Up !! Some great sounds in this one, close up motor spin up with two cameras and audio overlay - audio from two locations. Then took the quad outside for some LOS flight testing, checking for bounce back after quick stops and general handling. Making sure everything handles like it should. Turtle Mode demonstration at the end, I show how you can actually control one motor at a time independently. The DalProp bi-blades are fun, so loud ! they spin up super fast as well.

https://youtu.be/eKb4bYkJi8Y Stopped at the park on the way home to put the new motors and tune to a test. Some fun magic hour flying, cold but sun was out so I could not resist. Getting that tuned dialed in and locked in. Loving the new Betaflight build, and with these new iFlight motors, tuning is more fun and enjoyable. Nice to have good components to work with, I spent a lot of time getting frustrated with cheap motors and equipment, but I guess it also makes one appreciate the good stuff :) QAVR 210 frame with Omnibus F4 Pro V2 Flight Controller. 1500mah 100c 4s packs.

https://youtu.be/zTRv_8Ko5lM Practicing Matty Flips and left and right Trippy Spins, trying variations and approaching from different angles. Not easy to get locked in ! Fun trying different things in the sim, Velocidrone works well. Sorry if the graphic settings are not the best, using my laptop here and recording with an external AverMedia HDMI capture device. Works well but I can't turn all the settings on max, need to upgrade the laptop :) Hope for better weather this week so we can get some outdoor flying time ! https://www.YouTube.com/user/JDogB1https://www.AirVuz.com/user/FireBladehttps://www.InstaGram.com/Jason_FireBlade#Velocidrone#fpvfreestyle#trippyspins#mattyflips

https://youtu.be/diABVxZVTX4 So after tuning my quad with the new iFlight motors on trusted Betaflight 3.3.2, I updated over the weekend to 3.5.5. and did an initial tune. I put everything back to defaults for 3.5.5, did a full erase and started over. I did a test LOS flight after updating and noticed just a bit of bounce back after quick stops, so I bumped up proportional values just a bit. After a second flight (this time FPV) I noticed some movement on attitude so I also bumped up Integral values just a bit. So right now we are at; Roll P = 72 Pitch P = 80 Yaw P = 75 Roll I = 63 Pitch I = 70 Yaw I = 60 These are the only settings I have changed with the exception of my rates, which are not far from default. I use RC Rate of 1.02 on everything and SuperRate of .66 on all. I also use expo of .4 on everything. I really like it so far, not sure what else I would change at this point, might change some integral values around, roll seemed just a bit loose. Motors are not getting hot at all, just barely warm, everything performing well at this point. Going to an event this weekend with some friends, should be some crazy flying :) QAV 210 with OmniBusF4 Pro V2 and iPeaka 45A 32bit ESC's and powered by 1500mah 4s 100c Fat Shark Dominator V3 with FuriousFPV True D V3.7 receiver and ImmersionRC antennas. https://www.YouTube.com/user/JDogB1https://www.AirVuz.com/user/FireBladehttps://www.InstaGram.com/Jason_FireBladeFPV#betaflight#iFlight#XING
