Flight testing
Just like other 1S 3″ long range I have tested, they don’t handle wind very well due to the lack of power, but on a calm day they can fly very smoothly. By the way, it’s strictly for cruising, and not designed for acrobatic flying.
GPS takes about 3 to 5 mins to get a satellite lock for the first flight, which is not too bad. It gets faster after the first flight. You need to get a satellite lock before take off, otherwise rescue mode won’t work properly.
Rescue mode is working as expected and it’s all setup out of the box. However you should still go through the configuration and make sure the settings are suitable for your particular flying style and environment. See my Rescue Mode tutorial for more info.
Flight time takes a hit because of all the additional weight from the GPS module, buzzer etc. It gives me around 12 to 13 minutes of flight time vs. the 15 minutes from other similar models. But still it’s more than enough for me, some people might find it boring after 10 mins of cruising 🙂

I have tested a few different 3″ long range drones that are powered by a single 18650 cell, and they all have something unique to offer. What stands out most with the Happymodel Crux3, are the onboard ExpressLRS receiver and GPS module.
ExpressLRS needs no more praises, it’s one of the most competitive RC systems right now. It’s affordable, ultra low latency and great at long range too. I have a whole article talking about ExpressLRS if you are interested.
You can’t really call a drone long range if it doesn’t have GPS. Many of us have been trying to add a GPS module to these 3″ long range drones, but usually not possible due to the lack of UART. Finally, this time Happymodel ships out the Crux3 with GPS already installed.
With GPS, you can see exactly how far you are, you have a home direction arrow in case you are lost, and most importantly, your drone will fly back to you if you lost signal using Betaflight Rescue mode.
Where to buy?
Inside the box we have
- Crux3 FPV Drone
- 4x Gemfan 75mm bi-blade propellers
- 1x Screw Driver
- 1x Propeller disassemble tool
- FPV Camera Setting Joystick
- Manual and stickers
Batteries are not included. You will need to get some decent 18650 Li-Ion cell with high discharge rate. The recommended battery is Sony VTC6, VTC5A also works but with slightly less capacity.
Где купить skystars g730l v2 gps
Появились и модификации легких FPV дронов, как пример – Flywoo Firefly Hex Nano.
Как видно на фото выше, вся доработка включила в себя башню для GPS антенны. В обычной версии дрона на ее месте располагается крепление для экшен камеры.
Вообще, подобных решений было много, все эти дроны можно вписать в категорию “мини”, но не “нано”. Так что я не буду останавливаться на их характеристиках, если что то заинтересовало, переходите по ссылкам ниже и смотрите сами.

Удачных полетов на дальние расстояния!

Какая электроника нужна для нано дрона дальнего полета
Ниже я сделал подборку электроники для такого небольшого дрончика, смотрите, заказывайте, собирайте.
Если самостоятельно собирать и настраивать полетный контроллер нет желания, то ваш выбор – Happymodel Crux3 NLR Nano.
Полетный вес 115 грамм, дальность полета >3 км “из коробки”. Что еще нужно для того, что бы активно провести выходные?
Если вы заинтересовались этим дроном, то читайте статью: Обзор и отзывы Happymodel Crux3 NLR Nano.
Нано дроны дальнего полета
Нано дроны для дальних полетов весят менее 150 грамм вместе с аккумулятором. Используя высокооборотистые моторы стало возможным в качестве полетного аккумулятора установить 18650 или стандартную LiPo 1S.
Closer look at the crux3
The FPV camera holder is made of aluminium, which is a bit more durable than the 3D printed ones. FPV camera is the popular Caddx Ant, which is used in most other options in this class, so you can expect image quality to be similar if not the same.
Motors are 1202.5 11500KV, almost the same specs as the original Rekon3.
The Crux3 is using ExpressLRS receiver, which is great for range. It will definitely out-range the commonly used Frsky D8/D16 RX. While it’s nice to see the tiny ceramic receiver antenna here, which is compact and convenient, I would rather prefer the longer traditional style antenna for better range. After all this drone is built for long range.
I also love the fact that it has a buzzer, which is missing in a lot of other BNF builds. It will help a lot when you crash and search.
The frame design is very similar to the Rekon3, which is known to have weak arms. The arms are very thin in the Crux3 and it’s probably not the most durable frame in the world. So avoid crashing 🙂
