ImpulseRC Alien build

[FinalGlideAus]

What "fiddles" do you typically make to an HS-177?

These are the basic setting myself, Steele, Skitzo and JrazyFPV use.

If flying at night I find turning off the WDR helps also.

Thanks. I might try these out.

I'm going to try out Lumenier's Skitzo motors on this build. They're 2204 2500KV motors.



Here's the weight compared to the Cobra 2204 2300KV:

Thanks guy`s I really have enjoyed reading this tread since I have only been into the Quad world for a few months. Not owning a bunch of different frames I could not tell you the difference between them threads like this really help.

Good to know the information is useful to someone!

I soldered everything directly to the FC this time.





After a smoke test, I finalized the placement of a few things.

Very nice and clean. I can only hope to be as clean and organized when I attempt it with my 5" knockoff.

Thanks man.

I ran a couple tests comparing the ZEROZERO camera to the HS1177.

 

[Cyberdactyl]

Thanks for the comparison! To me though, I've come to expect the quality of FPV to be somewhat poor, so it doesn't matter that much. As long as I can see halfway decent in heavily shadowed areas and the latency is under 80ms or so, I'm good. The HS1177 seems to be the one I'd prefer. . . if I was stuck with the above settings of each.

Everything installed except the vtx, antenna, and top plate:

 

[C0d3M0nk3y]

Dry weight is 342 g, AUW is 589 g.

Here are a few pics of the finished build.

Looks like fun.

are my eyes just playing tricks on me or is the zerozero a bit behind the hs1177?
The color seems a bit better on the zero zero but imagine it might have a harder time with light changes. I dont know just spitballing

 

[FPVology]

just went back and looked and the kiss fc instal pics... cleeeeaaaaan dude!

 

[FPVology]

have you had much trouble with the xt60 soldered directly to the pdb? I already busted one (which was a pain to replace)

It might be, or it might just be within the margin of error of recording at 60 FPS. I'd say they're close enough that I won't be able to tell the difference.

The color is good when you have plenty of light. We'll see how it handles low light conditions.

I haven't. I'm using two battery straps to make sure the battery stays in place.
