Lets talk about these new ultralight 5" drones! What does the ET5 bring to the table, how does the BNF version stack up, and what would I do to make it even better? Click "SHOW MORE" for my custom tune, build suggestions, and links...
Bind-N-Fly Drone (as shown):
- TWIG ET5 BNF: bit.ly/TWIG-ET5-BNF
- BetaFPV 850mAh 75C 4S Battery: bit.ly/2AYvnri
Parts I would recommend:
- TWIG ET5 frame kit with canopy: bit.ly/30RlUMu
- Toothpick style 35A AIO FC (up to 6S): bit.ly/betafpv-35a-6s-aio-blheli32
- Caddx Baby Ratel camera w/ mounting adapter: bit.ly/33TCUUt
- Gemfan 5125 3-blade prop (bit.ly/34a6OUH)
- OR: HQ 5x3 2-blade prop (bit.ly/2DPPyJr)
- VTX and antenna of your choice
- Motors (see below)
Some motor options to consider:
- BetaFPV/RacerX 1506 3000KV (shown here): bit.ly/315Rs1V
NOTE: These are great motors but a little small for 5-inch.
- BetaFPV 1805 (pick your KV): bit.ly/betafpv-1805-motors
NOTE: These are better motors for 5" but may be less durable.
- BrotherHobby 2004 (pick your KV): bit.ly/2PPfjMl
NOTE: I have not tried these, but they look like a great size for an ultralight 5". If you have experience with them, please comment below. :-)
My BLHeli32 Settings:
- Rampup Power = 100%
- Motor Timing = 22 deg
- PWM Frequency = 24kHz
My Betaflight 4.2.0 Tune:
- bit.ly/3fQWXVH
If you have questions, suggestions, or tuning tips for me then I would love to talk in the comments section. I'm learning every day along with all of you!
Warm Regards,
- Nate
