Yeah, that joy goes away after a while man. It's kind of fun the first few times you do it. After that not so much. It's a redundant activity. It's not like woodworking where you can make a different thing each time. If it's your only hobby I can understand. Time is valuable for me. I can solder and even weld and I still try to avoid doing both if I can.

This was a great video. Thanks Ken for taking up the challenge. Yes finally something all setup. I have just purchased my first bind and fly Nazgul V5. What a pain. But i learned a bunch. And thanks to this channel i now have it arming and motors spinning. This FPV sport really needs to change. 3 nights of research to get this going sucks BUT i am better for the experience. But i suspect many people starting into this would give up the build. But once i get it in the air it will be worth it i am sure. Thanks to Joshua for making great videos to help a beginner in the sport to get off the ground.

To be honest, being a licensed plumber for 35 years. It's not the building or soldering that held me back from building a quad drone. It was finding the time to build, the hassle of learning Inav, beta flight etc. And being 50 years old. The team from "Rotor Riot" Thank f#ck a company has finally helped me out. Sign me up!

My very first quad build in 2015 was a solder free kit. It was the Spedix S250 ARF KK2.1 version. It used bullet connectors for the motors and esc and servo pins for the fc and rx. It didn't come with a fpv camera or vtx though. It did had a spot to put those old Sony board cameras we use to use like the pz0420. I flew mine los for a while before I eventually put fpv gear on it. Man, we've come a long way since then.

I bought the HD-1SF and put it together a couple of weeks ago. Super easy. Took about 30 minutes or so. I don't mind soldering. It is the MR30 plugs on the motors and the replaceable arms on the frame that I liked. I have a habit of destroying motors and the occasional arm. I don't have a DJI transmitter (I have a TX16s) so I added Crossfire, which was super easy. I even added plugs for it. I bought the 3D printed CRSF antenna mount which works great. Plenty of room in the stack and frame to add the Crossfire Nano.

The thing is, this isn't a solderless build. It's a standard build with all the soldering done beforehand. So if you blow the ESC & buy a new one, you're still gonna have to do all 14 solder points yourself. (Unless they sell ESCs with those plugs already soldered on...)

The only thing that gives me pause for something like this that's supposed to lower the barrier to FPV, is that this kit forces you to use a DJI air unit. There should be an option for traditional analog and shark byte. Otherwise this isn't any better of a value, maybe slightly a worse value, than a BNF quad.
