T-Motor FT5 PNP Review Part 1: First look and betaflight setup

25/6/2020

2 Comments

 
The new T-motor FT5 PNP is a new 5 inch freestyle drone from T-motor. 
​
It is available in the following options:
Analogue video with 4s 2306 2400kv motors
Analogue video with 5s/6s 2207.5 1950kv motors
Digital video with 2306 motors in 4s 1750kv and 2550kv options

I've chosen to review the most powerful of these options - the Analogue 6s with the largest 2207.5 motors in 1950kv. In this part of the review I'll look at the components in the build, the quality of the build and will comment on the default betaflight settings. I'm currently test flying and once I have at least a dozen packs under my belt will start the main review.

The best way I have of summarising the specs is that it does the basics really well and this is not to damn it by faint praise. Other than the removable top deck for easy electronic access there is no F7 processor, no bluetooth access, no 4k HD recording on board. What you get instead is:
  • Some of the best motors in the game in the most popular size (2207.5) and KV (1950) at present
  • Full sized 50A ESC and FC that although not special on paper have a strong heritage of reliability and performance. BLHeli_32 is a good option for native RPM filtering and there are more than enough UARTS for anything you want to attach to the FC
  • The Caddx Ratel is currently one of the most sought after FPV cameras
  • The Rush Tank is currently the most sought after VTX maker (for good reason)
  • The Frame is very conventional in design but excellent in execution with carbon in correct layout and very lightly chamfered edges, Countersunk screws are only needed where they do not impact frame strength

Check out the class touch with branding on the special standoff that allows for the top plate section access

2207.5 motors give you legitimate options for 4s, 5s and 6s

The rush tank is arguable the best VTX available at present
