XHover Stingy FPV Freestyle Frame Unboxing -- A Noobs first fpv quad build

[JoeCec]

So, I'll introduce myself. My name is Joe, I'm from Huntsville, Alabama. I'm looking to get into the FPV community and I have purchased my first FPV frame. I have built 3D heli's before but this is way different! I just have the airframe for now and will continue to spec out additional parts.

I would appreciate any helpful tips or insights that some of the advanced flyers may have as to some of the components to stay away from and what's best starting out. Thanks for viewing.

Joe,

Welcome to the site! Looks like a nice frame. I've built about 6-7 birds now, some great, some not as great but still good birds. You can also search for my threads as most of my builds (with component info) are already posted on this site.

Here's a list of key components that I've found to work very well together (You can shop around for better prices. This also assumes a FrSky Radio):

Betaflight F3 All in One Flight controller:

Aikon 30A ESC's
Aikon SEFM 30A ESC with BLHeli_S Program Dshot

IRC Tramp HV VTX

Foxeer HS1177 FPV Camera

XT60 Connector

Those components will create a very good bird with OSD (On Screen Display). Some components can be substituted like the Tramp HV. There are many cheaper alternatives to the Tramp that will work well, I've just chosen it as my go-to VTX as I'm trying to keep my birds consistent for inventory and replacement parts reasons. These components should work very well with 200mm to 250mm frames.

I would stay away from the tramp because is high voltage component , it's not a good idea to mix HV components with non HV components, everything else in that list are good non HV components so I would change the Vtx to TBS unify pro v2 , it's one of the best you can get

Dude, the Tramp HV is the best VTX on the market, bar none. HV just means it can run off of direct lipo without a 12V source.
