How to Build an FPV Drone ⚒️🚁

Here’s how I built my 7-inch Long Range FPV drone, the Aquila 7 which I use for most of my FPV flights. It can fly for up to 30 minutes and travel a distance of 20km.

This is a very simplified video on how I built this drone. A lot of steps have been skipped including the software setup etc, if you’d like to see a full video, let me know 🙂

The parts I used for this build are as follows:

Frame: Aquila 7 by RushFPV/STPHobby
FC: Foxeer F722 by Foxeer
ESC: Skystars 60A 4in1 by Skystars
Motors: EMAX Eco II 2807 1300kv by EMAX
Receiver: Matek ELRS Diversity by Matek
VTX: Caddx Vista + DJI Cam by Caddx
Buzzer: Finder 2 by ViFly

Only constructive criticism, get a good blob of flux on the solder joints ... they will then flow into nice smooth shiny joints.

Don't forget to strap the RPG round on it 😊

The chat beat me to the soldering comment. But it's weird to see that digital is the new norm. I'm still a fan of analog for fast flights.

I love electronics but how exactly do you get into this stuff like where do I begin. How do I get to know about all the different terms and names, their uses, the tools, what is needed, what alternatives you can use and their short names. You kind of need to know about everything, how it’s connected, the hardware, how it’s built and repaired. What cables do you use, what’s the software? Why this tool? Did you calculate the max drone weight in relation to the power to make it fly correctly beforehand? Why make it this size? It’s fascinating but also confusing

This industry needs more plug and play components.

Nice build man! Just ordered a tinygo 4k and could not be more excited

[mikeknight]

Not enough flux to let that solder flow it's gotta clean the spot it needs to stick to 🧐 looks a little cold but nice build!

[Pace]

I've learned how to build almost this exact drone in high school 😳

[Thomas-vjjg]

You may want to use a little more flux on your solder joints

[arthurmitch]

Ok is there an online full list of all the parts you bought?

[chrisnoren]

I can only respect people that know how to Build and fly Acro FPV drones.😎

Hi Could you please help me! this looks like a very good build but i've never build or flown a fpv drone. is there a video of all the parts or a setup guide?

[hanspeter]

Hi, nice clip for beginners, but could you tell us how much u spend in total or for the components

[ccviews.ja.]

If only it was that easy for everyone, did all that but I've not gotten mine to fly😢

[tomofpittsburgh]

So you should mount the ESC first and then solder?

[jaymewada]

can you provide a detail video regarding it ..

[MrRant-ugfm]

Newbie here. So what’s up with dji camera and caddix? That’s gotta be old school or it seems I haven’t understood anything yet 😭

From my point of knowledge the o3 system takes care of that

"How to build an FPV drone (for experts)" is what the title should've been

[gusfabela]

Hello, could you share the full video with me to see more detail. thank you. I'm building one.

Who wants to build an fpv drone after that ? 🙌🙌
