🛩️ Skyhunter - Long Range Drone Step By Step Build Tutorial

A detailed step by step guide to build a long range FPV Sonicmodell mini Skyhunter. Full instructions for building the aircraft, programming the flight controller and also the radio.

The CLI codes:

set max_angle_inclination_rll = 600
set max_angle_inclination_pit = 600
set small_angle = 180
set nav_fw_bank_angle = 35
set nav_rth_altitude = 7000
set failsafe_throttle_low_delay = 0
set nav_rth_allow_landing = FS_ONLY
set disarm_kill_switch=OFF
set nav_extra_arming_safety = ON
set gps_ublox_use_galileo=ON

I've never seen such an easy-to-follow, detailed build guide.

WOW.... A youtube build video that is clear, concise and with full explanations. Not to mention a full parts list! Background music was not overly annoying and you kept the volume of it low (THANKS!). I think a lot of other youtube channels should watch this for how to do things the right way!

Man, this is such a good video. I wish all build videos were this simple, clear, and easy to understand. It's great to see people still opting for Skyhunters in an age where there are so many other FPV platforms available. I have the 1800mm version, and it can carry such a big payload while still maintaining great flight characteristics.

That is probably the best build video i've seen and also the cleanest build plane! outstanding job!

[arendgovaars]

This is probably the best most meticulous attention to detail build video ive ever seen.

No one come closer to his builts, a real professional, super video.

[germanar]

I love your new way of presenting and editing videos

To tail, for all servos bringing one common thicker power and ground will be good idea keeping signal cables separate to fc on single dupont connector. nice build

I've got an old dgs2000 I haven't flown in years but I really want to turn it into a long range fov and this video is amazing! Thank you so much for this!

I like this little Pitot tube sensor. I once built an linear array of Pitot needle sensors to measure the flow velocity inside a pulse tube of a cryocooler, but they were not fast enough. So I changed to a hot wire anemometer array which worked in the sub-millisecond range. It was made of 5 µm diameter platinum wires with a length of 2 mm operating in constant current mode.

I believe this is the maker & type you recommended to me in my comment/questions to you in your SkyWing video.
Thank you again and well done as usual from you!
Best,

Instantly subscribed. This is what I was looking for. Thanks a bunch, Giz.

The issue with the current sensor is real at F722-Wing. Just add the capacitor and it should be fine. Great video!

[aquatecpoolservice]

Your videos are simply awesome. Your eye for detail is impressive. Keep making these high quality videos.

For anyone looking to build one of these, please wire up the fuselage before gluing the two halves together. It is a royal pain to get the flight controller and esc situated properly once the fuselage has been closed up.

[dynamofrog]

great video! thanks for going into such detail on the build steps :)

[fpvleo]

You really deserve more subs and views! :)

[Mtrix]

Hats off, that is an awesome step by step guide!!! I was looking for a two-way gimbal solution like yours for a build I'm planning on. Extraordinary!!!

[bensonfilmworks]

Outstanding. Shows a lot of time and talent went into this video. Thank you!

[owlmuso]

Holy crap, this is such an awesome video. Thanks man!!

One suggestion, if you want to make some money from this, is to create a Udemy course where you break up each step you outlined in the video into its sub-steps and show, in detail, where you bought your parts, how you soldered the parts together, why the wiring combinations are required etc etc. In other words a detailed step by step. For a luddite like me, who understands conceptually what you are doing, a detailed hand holding course would be real beneficial. I know its lots more work but could bring you some income.

Anyway, just a thought, and thanks for generously sharing your knowledge
