Description: The Rotor Riot Solder Free FPV Kit is a very interesting take on building your own FPV kwad. It is targeted at novice builders and claims allow just about anyone to build their own FPV quadcopter. But how hard is it to actually build? And once built, how does it fly? While I do document my building process and the pitfalls that I experienced, this is not intended to be a tutorial on how to build a FPV quadcopter. I followed the video that Drew Camden (Le Drib) made for the Rotor Riot Youtube channel and recommend that you do the same. Here's the link to that video. youtu.be/9_m5FVllnVg However, before you buy this FPV kwad, you might benefit from watching this video first. In this video I take you through the build itself and show you some of the mistakes that I made so that you can avoid them. I'm a novice FPV drone builder and so this was my chance to actually build a kwad from start to finish. But I did make some mistakes along the way and this video will help you avoid them. I also take my maiden flight with a 6S LiPo battery as well as a 4S LiPo battery to see how it flies. This video is not sponsored by Rotor Riot and I paid for this kit myself. 00:00 - Introduction 01:02 - Unboxing the kit 03:19 - Loctite trick (thanks Kai) 04:10 - Assembling the frame 05:34 - Electronic components 06:32 - Yellow gummies are challenging 07:52 - Assembling the stack 08:35 - Motors and skids 10:46 - Mount flight controller 11:17 - My biggest mistake 11:33 - DJI air unit 14:07 - Camera mount (missing the camera screws) 15:59 - Tighten the stack 17:46 - Time check 18:00 - Two big problems 19:26 - Rotor Riot tech support 19:40 - Fixed the problems 20:55 - Blurry image in goggles 21:19 - First flight 26:20 - After 5 batteries, here's what I think Link to buy this kit (not affiliate link) rotorriot.com/collections/solder-free/products/hd-sf-build-kit The music in this video is from Epidemic Sound. bit.ly/RSD_Epidemic_Sound If you want inexpensive, hassle-free music that sounds great for all of your social media channels, you should definitely check out Epidemic Sound.
