Available here for only $119 Flight Controller PDF Manual/Pin Out Diagram Thanks to member GCRC The new Skystars S225/STX225 DIY Kit is now available. Looks to me like it is going to be an excellent value in the 5 inch FPV racer category. Specs look really good, and I am liking that we are seeing more and more of these quads available in kit form. My kit arrived a couple days ago, and I finally got a chance to snap a few pics. Hoping to get started on the build this afternoon, and will post more pics as I make progress. EDIT-10/2/2018 Build is complete. Added a bunch more pics below. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, or request pics of something I missed. Flight video coming soon. Also added some large zoomable images of the F405 AIO Flight Controller (FC) pinout to aid in wiring for anyone else doing this build. Some of the print on my board was pretty faint and the pics helped me locate the necessary solder pads. EDIT-10/3/2018 Managed a quick test flight today. Flies very smooth, and has a lot more punch, and speed than I was expecting, especially on 5042 high efficiency props. Should be really impressive on some 5152 props. EDIT-11-13-2018 Spares are now showing up at Gearbest Frames are available here for $21.44 Motors are available here for $8.24 each ESC's are available here for $6.99 I will update if/when more show up. EDIT-11/26/2018 Printed a shark fin for my Skystars STX225. Thing file here. Requires a quick easy mod to install. Front of the plate lines up perfectly, so install it with the stock screws and then you will see where to trim and drill the screw holes for the rear. See image below. EDIT-11/28/2018 Got some new props to try out as soon as the weather permits. They're EyeSky 5053 and I hope they perform as good as they look. See pic below. Flight video hopefully coming in the next couple days. EDIT-12/6/2018 Here is a link to some 3D printable landing gear designed for this quad. Special thanks to adis1313. If anyone here would like a set of this landing gear that doesn't have access to a 3D printer PM me, or post here and I will print you a set for actual cost. EDIT-12/18/2018 Flight video testing the new EyeSky 5053 props added below. Good news! After a 3:30 flight motors were still cool to the touch.
