I searched for a wheelbase 140 since ever.

I bought many RC cars just to find out that the wheelbase did not match.

Bad specs.

Now I have it: 140 cm.

I can put the IXO model on an RC.

This is just a variation on the ideas from Mr ShutterBug. He does not have a web site, so you need to find him in youtube. Here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkSK8m82tMekBEXzh1k6RKA

I actually had the idea before his video, probably not before him 😉 .

It is not even an idea, I think this is why fatshark commercialised the product.

The fundamentals are: put HD in a small build.

Mr ShutterBug uses fpvcycle.com as frame reference. But I am in a different side of the globe so fpvcycle.com is an option but not to be.

I am also not too picky, as I am a really bad pilot.

So let’s get:

fpvframe.ch with their StikiX

The result is:

I think it looks cool!

To be honest the large power with that small frame scared me a little.

ahhh.. specs:

• VTX: Shark Byte Single board
• Camera: RunCam nano HD
• TX: Ghost
• FC: iFlight beast F7
• Motors: xIng 1404

For the size it feels a bit “underpowered”. I think this is due to the small dimension.

This is my first “alone” build. After “ready packed” builds I decided to go alone.

The basic idea was to have an about 3″ but a bit over powered. In particular I wanted to use 2004 motors to test the fact that with less resistance on props a “larger” motor could pick up as fast as a torque dedicated motor. As there is no results yet, I just list here the build.

Details:

• Frame: FlowX mini from fpvframe.ch (https://fpvframe.ch/fpvx/product/flowx-mini/)
• FC: I- Flight Beast F7
• VXT: I-Flight succex nano
• RX: XM+
• Motors: FlashHobby. 2004/1900kv
• Props: AVAN 3.5″ (the only one there at that time: with the half inch)
• Batteries: XT60 (the build supports up to 6S)

I did a first flight with a insta360 go on it. It all looked fine except a bit of prop wash coming down from dives. The below is with 3.5″ props on.

Please find here some descriptive pics:

I successfully built:

• tyro79
• Xilo JB Edition 4S
• Xilo JB Edition 6S

As a beginner I felt that the Tyro79 was an easier build. While soldering was on small pads, it was not too much and well described.

A little disclaimer: I did study a bit different builds before.

The Xilo is a bit more complex due to:

• More parts to solder
• measuring cable distances

For both builds I had little issues with the receiver. Too short cables when set in place. While the suggestion from JB to put all in place before soldering is a must, it was not possible for me.

That was also due to trying different receiver, including ghost. The problem was that I did not foresee the antenna placement.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
