I don't own a drone and have no business on the channel, but I thoroughly enjoyed your expertise, fluidity of thought, and how easy you made the build look. The algorithm is ‘rithming’ tonight.

After a year of practicing in a sim, checking every drone video and reading everything I could, your video finally got me into the hobby! I ordered all the parts at Ali, can’t wait to get this thing up and running 🔥

Waiting for the 2035 "build a rideable drone for $20,000" video

Thank you for producing another great video. I really appreciate you posting a budget build for 2023. I'm still analog and I don't have a great deal of money to devote to the hobby so watching you build a budget analog quad with quality components at a time when most guys are going digital AND providing links to where a guy can purchase the components is VERY valuable information to me. Your videos really increase my enjoyment of this wonderful hobby. Your video production value and camera work as well as your CLEAN build philosophy combine nicely with your no-nonsense narration making your videos entertaining as well as informative. Well done. Happy flying amigo.

This series has been fabulous. Would absolutely LOVE a similar video for a 3/3.5” build👀

watching this video 101th time n finally.....done building my new fpv 6s drone in the same manner and is working perfect!!!.
-
I love how you soldered motor wires to esc 😍 I recently build drone inspired by 2022 build and if I didn't cut motor wires so short, I would resolder them. This looks great!
-
Thank you for making another budget build video! I built your 2022 budget build and flew it all summer. It's still going strong and so much fun to fly. It was my first 5" quad and helped me transition into flying in acro mode.
-
Brand new to this hobby, still haven't even bought a controller. This tutorial of sorts was a pleasure to watch. So helpful, incredibly so.
Thank you! -
Amazing build and very very on the spot with all the information!!! Amazing teacher skills as well. SHORT AND TO THE POINT. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for producing another great video. I really appreciate you posting a budget build for 2023.💯💯💯

Yup. I got most of them right. I just bought that camera for my 3.5 inch build. Also on the 2022 build you did I got the T-Motor Velox V2 2306 motors since the Emax Eco's were sold out at the time of my build. I have also since picked up a RDQ Sourceone V5 frame as an extra frame. Lol, I almost have all the exact same parts to build this quad in a 4S. Great video man! Keep up the great work for the FPV community.
