Beginner FPV Drone Build: Joshua Bardwell QAV-S 2

This is a review and build guide for the Joshua Bardwell QAV-S 2 Sub 250g build it. It's aimed at beginners and includes the vital components you need to build your first FPV drone. That QAV-S 2 frame has a 3.5mm main plate so it's super durable AND lightweight. I love the way this drone flies and with a 650mah or 720mah 4s battery the DJI O4 version is easily under 250g, even with my TPU landing feet. I do prefer the HQ 3x3x3 props, and I did have issues with the DJI O4 system in this build. If you have any questions please just let me know and I'll do my best to answer them.
