This is the fifth video in the iNav 5.0 build series for beginners. In this series we will start from the ground up, building the plane, installing the hardware, and installing iNav. We will discuss all the important things along the way, to give you a good start in the hobby. At the end we will go through a pre-maiden checklist, just to make sure that everything is as ready as can be. Then we will fly the plane. The plan is to have a new video every other week until the first flight.
The full iNav 5.0 Beginner's Build Academy can be found at youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtuty5zAsZ_aKbk9h9hbVG-TySq1W4C14
In this video, we install the receiver (Rx), GPS, video transmitter (VTx), and FPV camera. Once again, there will be some soldering. Plus, we will take a look at more building techniques: cutting out foam and making our own crimped DuPont connectors. This completes the install of our components. Next time we will set up our transmitter. That will get us ready to set up iNav.
