I always used TMotor and never had an issue - even their newer Velox ‘entry level’ products do not get any bad thing said about them it seems - I cannot really comment on the competition though.

My pick would be:

1750kv for proximity flying
1950kv for a more agressive throttle response

the FC has a pit function so you can easily manage a GPS spool up time without powering your VTX. I recommend the Walksnail GPS - works amazingly well but I believe any M10 GPS should do.

I always add a Buzzer to keep the search and recover parties as short as possible

for props I use HQ and they are really good - you will want to try a few different pitch to see what you like best depending on your config (Motor kv and UAW)
low pitch (less than 3) → less vibration, lower high speed, better throttle resolution, better propwash handling
high pitch (more than 4) → the opposite :slight_smile:

I only ever used Tattu batteries - and a few Bonka - they are amazing premium batteries and there are plenty of cheaper options but I cannot really comment on them

And don’t forget to add a capacitor!

Disclaimer - those are my own opinions and you may do as you please with them :smiley:

Hi All

Question number 2 and this is probably a real Noob one.
I going to be using the DJI O3 air unit as i want to use with goggles 3 and dji fp3 remote.

Does the DJI O3 only transmit video or is it used for flight controls also?

Cheers again for the advice

The air unit does both, with the goggles 3 though the controller connects direct to the goggles and they pass through the control to the air unit

So bind your goggles to the air unit and the controller to the goggles

Thats awsome

Think i may have everything other than lipo charger. :slight_smile:
