Me too man I'm terrified tomorrow the program I'm supervising starts officially and I'm having panic attacks. So many people relying on me 🫠 and I have never been a boss before. I'm literally shaking somone save me please
Ty Ty
You'll be fine.
Just stay calm and dont get angry at your team is all thats important in the end.
I'll kill them with kindness
If that doesn't work I'll use the 5"
But yeah emelia if u want icebreaker to chat to zoe LMK.
She lived with me for a good while even.
Haz known her a long time.
I can't beat that
It's not a competition.
😘
Llama how deep are your ties with the fpv world
Yes
Checks out
Im a try and to pretend to sleep. If that doesn't work see y'all soon
I just can't do VC is pretty much it lol
I don't really mind approaching anyone online, especially over text
Yeah I don't do VC theese days much either lol.
I get it.
Eh @gaunt creek ?
Lol
What?!
Heck I'm sleeping 😴
Ok toodles.
Now can't sleep till you tell me what u want
Oh.
Just do u not recall me watching u stream sim.
But also not in mood to VC so typed lol.
So I get it when emilia says no thanks to VC.
Yeah I remember then you got drunk 🌠
Cuz I was asking so many questions
I have that effect
Yeah I've got my moments lol.
what! That’s so cool!
Yippee
...but aren't the props going to push it right over 250 ?
SHIIIII
Bro did you actually not think about it
No

FUCK
I laugh
Damm
skip the prop screws and youll be under
trim off excess battery strap
few holes drilled in top shell for "airflow"


para please
@gaunt creek
Lol all that came back was a broken corner of the nd filter
But i managed to find the rest of it somehow in the long grass
And it hadn't turned to dust
Send dvr
its not a very exiting crash but ok
either i forgot to hit record or the gopro freaked out on that one because i dont have gopro footage of the crash.
How did this break a lens
micless vtx 🫵
i dont even have sound turned on in the vrx
idk what that noise is
helicopter
Please what?
Would you be so kind to sell me an o4
There is a big heavy weight on the top for no reason but otherwise love it
What makes you think I have one
Lol
She is talking about me
I only bought 4
All 4 are on drones that are literally flown every day
I share with a friend
Damn ok
They are incredible never gonna use a action cam because of them
Yeah I know
I'll keep an Eye out and tell you if I find a location to buy one
You said 275 right?
Yes
My friend may have bought an extra if he did you can buy it off me definitely could use the money
I'll keep you posted
I love you 😇
I love me too
You kept your promise nobody died!
para didn't explode
lol
Yay more air time, a new FC, spare motors, can filters, and a mat so I stop hand launching my 5"
what in the sequre stack
mb you can just enjoy analog video then
Just cut the propellers shorter
lol
Friend broke the fc to the new 5" and paid for the replacement
rich ahh
I'm not rich! Work hard and then be fiscally irresponsible!
My highest paying job pays 22 dollars an hour and I pay for my own college, medical bills and car repairs, I live with my mom and brother so I guess I don't have to pay for housing but still! 😑
lol

Mines bigger and free

@soft pecan hey, so i have rlly bad 65hz vibrations on my 3.5" build and someone suggested it's because i have the cap stuck down but am using the stock wires and not replacing them with motor wires or something like that
*not extending just replacing
any advice on how to solder stranded motor wires to solid core cap legs
like of the build? it's taken apart on my desk rn but i'll try to find some
or of the resonance?
I'm not sure what you're saying
*the stack is flipped around
but the cap is attached to the bottom plate with heavy duty double sided tape
One option is to get the leads on the 4in1 down good.
Then just tack the cap on top of the lead's joints.
oh like shorten the legs a ton?
does that make sense?
yea
then i stopped leaving it floating bc the leads were really long and it was touching the frame anyways
and someone told me that was the cause of the vibration
usually yes.
But space is the limiting factor usually
yea i have like 0 space
u can see in that picture it's like a quarter inch from camera
was also getting some weird stuff where with abrupt movements it woudl hit the camera
the cap is bent at like 90 degrees so the long side is facing the fc and the vtx cable is running in between the fc and the cap
it's really bad
but does using flexible cables seem like an ok idea? and if so, any advice for how to solder?
and any other sources of vibration you'd recomend looking at
i was thinking of taking off all the tpu bc maybe that's somehow causing it?? idk im really confused at this point bc i feel like i checked everyting
I mean you could but I'm sure that'll suck for the effectiveness?
This item also exists for the conveince reason of rigid cap legs like you are experincing.

Are you tired of trying to solder wires on those pesky little capacitor leads? Step your builds up a notch with WaFL’s Cap Cap. This tiny PCB sits on the bottom of most standard “LOW ESR” capacitors, and provides you with two easily accessible pads for quick and clean soldering to the capacitor. Whether you need to qui
Can make your own if you got some bread board around
…
wym?
also do u have any thoughts on what to I should try to do to get rid of the vibrations?
i know extending the leads if bad but is it really a bad idea to just replace them with flexible wire?
eek
if you are using bent props try fresh ones. also try to flex the frame to check if it isnt cracked
skill issue
Its for 3d purposes 
With a steep enough camera angle, you don't need to fly 3d 
I remember seeing you fly like that
That was wild
Still do sometimes. Trying my damnest to learn a lower angle atm though.
I hate it. I hate how it feels, I hate how it looks, I hate how the drone flies.
45° seems to be my tipping point. Lower than that there's too much "up" to a throttle nudge.
FL STUDIO THEME
also did both :(
Wanted to Build a drone in the basement. Instead got soaked fighting flood
damm
And that is how you end a hard days work
I live stream on the Discord its not a secret lol
oh yeah
I'm gonna become the first drone youtuber that @soft pecan subscribes to
dont laugh 😖
its my life goal
damm
soaked fighting flood?
So you played the end of halo 1 on high diffculty and sweated a bunch?
all skulls enabled 🥲
im glad you got that stupid joke's refrence
i beat 1 thru 4 + reach on legendary
2 almost killled me
The ODST hoard mode thingy was fun back on release when it was popular still.
Got past the final round of that many times.
Did not even own it or the console, roomatea at the time had a hacked xbox and i just played it lol

I get it
Not sure it’s easy to understand though 😂
the point of it is that i make bad decisions.
That’s a pretty normal speed for a roll rate I must say
if you know a better way to comunicate it lemme know
yeah but how many people go into the cid to manually make their rate not a factor of ten
True
I made mine a flat 800, proving your point further😂
😂
PSSSH, just use old rate styles and then it's almost gaurenteeed:
#1341252753325953064 message
could maybe add a comma?
What’s 3d mean
3d flying
0degree?
flat cam needed for 3d
if not 0 then when you are upside down you are just looking at ground
In sim its just a single thing IIRC.
IRL its not terribly hard, mainly just a few switches and some ESC settings changes.
Ideally you want 32bit ESC's as they are better for this.
As well as propper 3d dedicated propellers.
Youll need a centered throttle on your radio
You just have to twist a screw in it basically
If I broke a screw on the front that lats you adjust the gimbles is there another way to do it?
Welding
Im super bummed that I broke it and now I can't setup center stick
you mean you rounded it off or smth else?
Twisted wrong way and the screw head just snapped off
Hoping there is a way to do it in the back of remote
I wanna center theottle
thas whu she said

it's a relatively minor upgrade
Fuuuck
yes they're covering about 100 dollars of the tariffs
the tariff adjusted price is $750 :(
so the US price is 750 usd
(it would have been 845 if they didn't cover tariff prices)
Def a minor upgrade.
Not a single local racer I know is planning or wanting to transition from their HDZ goggles 1 over to 2.
There is one person that just got boxpro HDZ goggles that would have rather had 2's
is it the same analog reciever that's in the BoxPro?
Nooooooo my mind can only justify three digit purchases that start with a six or lower
I can't do 7 😢
you can buy those if you're fast
Interesting
I don't get it either
i do
Where from?
I beleive so but not 100% sure.
shiny new thing nice?
imagine you're not really attached to objects, you've had these fancy goggles for quite a long time now (like a few years) and you can now sell it to get maybe 500-600 for it and then spend 100-200 to get fancy new ones with some cool features you want to use
why wouldn't you if you had the money
that makes sense
That's fair but like can they go to 400 👉👈
maybe
Where look?
facebook and rcgroups
fb markteplace

See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
link to grouop
The sub 100$ group is good as well.

be sure to tell FB you wanna see most recent posts.
not whatever FB feels like showing you
they also had a sub200 one right
yeah I just never bother looking there usually.
lol

It has a quiz I don't know the answer help
mutligp
multipg
i accidentally said drl the first time
lol
it's not drl?
wanst drl just dead
is this why they keep fucking rejecting me?
LOL
yes
lol
iirc drl anncounced a race, and then just vanished
how would I know if I literally do not care about any of that
in any way shape or form
idk
stupid ass question lol
agreed
FB group admins are, a certian kind of people lol.
A local pilot has gotten banned from all the FPV marketplace ads for making jokes on peoples listings.
Tho he can be an asshat at times so, kinda deserved it lol
how about like we
we make an actually good platform
for selling things
and then use that
like other countries have
agreed
I had to make a facebook for this I hate it too
i joined a pavo group for funsies
they were reccomeneding the betafpv transmitter
lol offer up fucking nuked itself.
"hey you need the newest possible 5 phones to use our app."
poof they went.
Even after rolling back that stupid ass decision, its gone.
Nobody came back
mercari and such too
they got 2 entire old ass sites for astro stuff
fpv is like smarter people too
well
not if you're on facebook
lol
craigslist would've been alive and well today if it moved to an optionally global kind of deal
but they didn't
I miss CL personals.
Was so much better than tinder and shit.
So @soft pecan if I put this response they would not let me in
for some reason facebook is the absolute most ideal breeding ground for misinformation
You forgot Twitter silly
it's facebook, for all I know they might hunt you down and kill you
u r not getting in buddy
yeah you have to know what multigp is
Because it's the "for everyone" social media.
IG is for vain people.
Discord for games.
Reddit for nerds.
Twitter for porn addicts and racists.
Tick tock for todlers.
joshua bardwell
then you get to go through 2 of the worst customs offices there are right now
instead of just one
just say multigp
you should move back to canada then
and just have a good time and vibe
and have fpv parts at good prices

The TJ Mexico vendors get their DJI supply from USA then drive it back down south.
IDK about where exactly more south in Mexico vendors get their stock from TBH.
They allow bvlos 😢
Lol I saw its 1k

or hear me out
50 dollars of lifepo4 cells and a little inverter

Do you have the power to freeze this thread?
Great!

i don't like para's house anymore
damm
When we get near 20k if I remind you. Could you freeze it and take the message you earned it
Nooooooo
nuh uh im taking em
my bitchass is going to have to wait a whole 23 days 
if the US lives that long

Gaslighting isn't real its something you made up
Whaaaaat
imma take all ur coockies and eat them >:3
No
the damage has already benn done

imma go sleep
good night people
Good night
Are we same blue
I did it first
Yeah but you weird
Fair
Also I’m flexing my drone on someone
?
#🛸drone-general
What do you think of my spreadsheet now
I’m not clicking on that
Why?
Need y'all to vote #1373756173576310826 message
the right answer is obvious
What a magical set of classrooms no?
pretty
@soft pecan how good is the penetration on hdz2 gonna be compared to ws? I really wanna swap my 04x pro and ws out for hdz2 but i want my penetration 
Pain
Money
hdzero's penetration is roughly the same as analog at the same output power
yeah they've worked hard on making it as good as possible
it shouldn't really be a problem for you and where you fly especially with good antennas
☹️i want better penetration than analog
I wanna penetrate the trees and the parking garages
I just dunno if i can justify a third goggle
better antennas
you get 4 with hdz
you can try them at least
I never sell shit
If i buy it I'm keeping it lol
@soft pecan i got to do a battery training thing at work and i now know how to build a battery from scratch
Kind of
We took the raw materials and mixed them and applied them to the anode and cathode and then sealed it in a pouch with the electrolyte
It was super cool
i need to buy new electrodes for my spot welders because
at some point it just went big spark kaboom and is now black
that's awesome as hell lol

Yeah lol
where do I go to get to do that 
They had an SEM to look at the stuff with too
After cutting them in half with an an argon jet
Just work for an automotive company
dreams crumbled
Im sure theres a way to see this sort of thing without working for the company
But
You do have to talk to people in real life
Honestly probably
I don't think you could show up here but i think you could find a place
ime it's watt for watt a little better, not 2x better but like 1.2x better, from my gut feel
Yknow when we filled the pouches with electrolytes we had to use this little airlock machine and then do the whole process through gloves in a completely argon filled container
Interesting
just slap two x2-air and there and you'll have plenty of penetration
I just run 4 omnis and have all the penetration I need
but also I don't need a lot of penetration
so do with that as you will
I do already have two x2 air, assuming the ones on my ws gx will work
gX is rp-sma right ?
Uhhhh i have no idea
Its also lhcp iirc

become friends with a chemistry major
and walk up to them while they are having a lab
I could never
statistically if you do it enough time you will make a battery one day
or just steal their crap and make the battery yourself
yeah understandable half of chemistry majors are doing it because then want to make drugs afterwards
well technically almost 100% of them will
with varying degrees of legality
Much of the equipment cannot be lifted by a person lmao
Mfw when measuring stuff down to the micron

yes it can
forklifts
also can't you measure down to a micron with fairly typical workshop tools
or am I confusing a thou with a micron
I might be, but a thou is close enough to a micron
im not certified
surely it's not that hard
1 thou is 25 microns or so
it's me we're talking about
Yknow im not sure if you can get a forklift into the clean room without disassembling it. I wasn't paying close enough attention
You can fly a drone
You can move a forklift
it took me like a literal week to figure out how the fucking battery strap works
To steal millions of dollars in battery r and d equipment
and I still can't do it without dropping everything
Not giving yourself enough credit
I think the hard part is actually making the battery?
Measuring out everything to be exactly the right amount
just go through the wall
all you need is a big enough forklift
that's not exactly hard
Maybe we were cutting something to the micron, i forget. There was some crazy stuff tho. The anode and cathodes get mixed as a paste and then applied to the copper and aluminum super thin
Ok so lets say our anode (metal sheet plus the dry paste) needs to be 63 microns and current its 66 microns
How you gonna get it to the right thickness
You cant sand it. That makes dust. We are in a clean room. The other thing is that it must be completely uniformly the same thickness
We squeezed it real hard
But not too hard
(the last one was somewhat of a joke, also the dust can be taken care of in a clean room)
I fuckin love optics
Lol
Also the air in the clean room was super dry
I wore a mask just because it was dry
well you basically just rub it for a real long time then use white light interferometry to measure the smoothness
i do want the new hdz goggles
like everyone
but the price is a bit too absurd
it's just the old price + 50
issue with antennas is that whatever you do people will complain
non-diversity really good receiver, compares to the best VRX modules if you only run omnis
put good antennas -> fuck you that's expensive
put cheap antennas -> fuck you that's expensive and I won't use them
put no antennas -> fuck you why is there no antennas for that price

it's a lose lose lose
So it would surpass my steadyview with only omnis??
watch out, Llama might be listening
yes I love you too
llama knows i don't agree with their assessment/opinion of HDZero gear
uh oh
there don't need to be convo repeats
@ llama
if the inprecise testing of multiple people is to be somewhat believed, it'd be up there yeah
no I was talking about how receiver comparisons are a lie and nuh huh and all receivers are as good until you bought them all to test them for your specific scenario cause of course
I mean, technically not fully incorrect
but come on
i think you are being a bit of an ass over a pretty normal disagreement convo you had with llama
I might be
it's okay that they want more extended testing
there's always going to be people that do, and I feel that it is sad that a company like HDZero isn't doing that themselves
same with the clearview system and such
I'd assume they did but wouldn't publish it since otherwise a thousand people would say "not but it's biased cause they are selling the rx so financial incentive" which fair enough but also who has the big money equipment they have
well then it is a
"prove it wrong" situation
which then provides incentive for other people to set up proper testing themselves
and so it kickstarts the FPV independent testing industry once again
same kind of way it is with CPU's and GPU's
fair enough
if I manage to get access to proper equipment next year I'll go through our current receivers
CV wont even email me back theese days.
Asked other support freinds if they still are even active etc.
I was told "nah that's the right email, they will respond when they feel like it maybe."
😑
that's just great
I'll give them a month or so and poke them a few times.
But NGL I'm tempted to buy a 4.0 for what 700$+
Then try to return it and CC dispute it.
Just so they have to answer me lol.
🤣
I'm tempted to buy a 4.0 and regret it

@sand sparrow
Lmaoo nicee
Wait does this ship from US?
prolly not
Iirc flywoo ships from china
but tariffs are covered
Hmmm how much is shipping?
Cuz u don't know if ur package could get stuck
Honestly I'd be beyond shocked if it's much better than their other prouducts.
Especially since the product description hasn't really changed since 2.0
Just copy/pasted over to 3.0 and then 4.0.
nothing bad has ever happened to me
Hmm ok
Is the 700$ for the goggles module or the base station ?
Okok
But imagine if actually it was really the bestest thing ever made ever, with "the longest range 5.8GHz Video Receiver ever offered!"
Groundstation is 700$+ usd.
Goggle module was ~300$ when it was new.
Now you can find them for 160ish on ebay.
Got CV stuff all used in the 40-70$ range IIRC.
Module was 50, hard to not give it a go for that cost for me.
I wonder if there's any v4.0 receivers on the second hand market
That aren't a million bucks
Hmm they seem to have actually even removed the price and buy button from the 4.0 page.
I can't even buy spam pester them lol.
Well, can't find too much on the second hand market for less than 200 bucks
Rapidfire and HDZ pretty much killed their market.
CV really only sold to racer's.
Not many freestyle people cared enough for the extra costs.
Rapidfire was pretty much as CV good for 1/2 the cost and a good UI not a cancer UI like CV 1 and the module have.
So around then is when was the time to grab them.
Then remainder got dumped when HDZ became the race go to.
Probably posting in RCG fpv equipment "wanted clearview" might net you a few people whom have one laying around but have not thought to sell it yet.
they're like brand new
And I want it but not for 700 money
Wait, they have removed the price and buy button on everything on their whole site.

yes
they did that a few weeks ago
as in I literally refreshed the page that still had the price
and then it was gone
Yeah that's def a sign they are probably trying to fully exit the hobby market then I think.
Wait wouldn't it be cheaper to get it from Australia tho?
yeah but that is an entire two weeks more waiting
todays dividends paid for this express shipping 🐳
Imagine having only 1 3d printer
Thats yours?
Also i crashed my lil baby a couple of days back :/
dauym
damm
Which is my fault for flying too far but i expected to get a semi usable image behind a few trees
Idk if the batt is still usable, i prolly wont risk it
risk it?...
see how much voltage is still in it
if it's still okay then charge it up and see the IR
but you needed to have done that instantly
and not days later
batteries don't really randomly fail mid air
I mean... Is it safe to plug in?
except if you seriously fucked up and broke the connections inside
but it doesn't look like it
I never had a broken bat before
it looks perfectly fine
Theres a little hole in the "plastic" so i can see the cells but i saw much worse that was still functional in this server
Yeah as i said the crash was due to user error
And i found the batt separate of the drone
oh yeah I've flown whoop packs I've bent back from 45* or where there's a hole through the cell's casing, or packs that turned diagonal
batteries can take abuse
Oh dang
if there's still voltage and it doesn't smell sweet, that's a mighty fine pack
I just dont want to have a potential fire hazard in my home
Alright
The smell.... Is it some sort of gas leaking?
every battery is technically a fire hazard, just more or less so depending upon how you bash it
or charge it
that's why you should use ammo boxes
(with the seal removed)
but it's fiiiiine (this is not legal advice)
Yeah... I didnt really have a charger and still wont have one for a month...
Smell is the electrolyte leaking.
To me it smells like the common way people describe it "Smells likd juicy fruit gum."
like a very sweet fruity smell
so you were killing your battery regardless then lol
Ill sue u if something happens 
like that obnoxious perfume some people put on that is just aggressing you from 15m away with cherry smell
that but battery
Yeah... I guess so then
Good to know
Oh yeah, those people like to sit next to me on a 20 minute subway ride... Fun
I once found myself in a room with a dozen of those people
I wonder if they just lack noses
how do they not succumb from it
I would not survive this smell all day
I mean... You get used to it to some degree if you wear it every day, and then you just not realize the sheer strength of the smell
They get used to it or don't have as strong as smell sense as you do.
So... Is the bat 100% dead? I would guess so cuz leaving it potentially discharged for a month isnt really good 
just grab a multimeter and check the voltage
if it's close enough to storage voltage, then it'll survive
(like 3.7-3.9 is -acceptable-)
Oh yeah thats true... I forgot that u can just do stuff with electricty
Hm? You measure the individual cell?
it won't be super happy to stay at a much lower or higher voltage but it will likely still survive a month fully charged
ye
that's what a balance lead is for
Ohhhh, right
So just one probe to the negative wire and one to one of the positive ones
Huh? i still have soo much to learn
they are just connected together
it's a tad silly to say negative or positive wire when it goes from the positive of one battery to the negative of another
True
colors are just here to make reading it easier
Dang thats clever and confusing at the same time
I mean, it's just breaking out the tabs on the cells so they can be accessed from outside
But what is in this case balance lead 1? Ground?
Ohhhhhh, that makes so much sense
as most things do (when actually thought out)
I...kinda understand it now
This video may help you understand some of it further, the good bit starts ~6min in when he goes to whiteboard:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIbHLacozFo
While I'm editing up the UHF RC series I thought I'd post this video showing a simple solution to getting an unbalanced lithium battery (lipo) to balance if one or more cells are significantly low.
The simple lead shown in this video makes it easy to charge the cells individually and the video explains why most cheap balance chargers have so mu...
I find it crazy that someone who is old enough to be my grandpa is thousands times more in shape then me
also did he get another whiteboard ? iirc some time ago he didn't have one anymore
I don't really follow him too much, half of his stuff is just rants about stuff that hasn't actually happened.
Panick style content mostly.
Maybe hes in good shape cuz of the NZ food is less fake than other places?
Also we grew up in a world of microplastics and cancerous air.
No he's in shape cause it helps him with Parkinson, he had a video about it a long time ago
Well just get parkinsons then, easy peasy.
oh heck yeah
Bet
or hdzero
I'll send you footage of Madien flight later
Also I flew it right after a rainstorm while I heard thunder!
And crashed 😁
Classic Para move
Thanks 🧡
Calm down it was only my second flight I unplugged it after soaking it
Its fiiiine

It likes it even
It passed the test
Its all wired up
Two drones set up in one day gotta be a record
I will become unstoppable 
so many drone
If the vote comes out to yes I'm going on a spending freeze
Only gonna pay for Repairs
@soft pecan how bad is this?
you need to wait until it is done charging
it's a hota
so wait until it is fully done
Throw it out immediately
Uuuu I wanna learn how to do that
ok sounds good
para you will explode
also any advice for how to make BBL files smaller? for some reason one of my logs was 16mb and 5 sec long
only at 2khz
select less things to be included
i mean, u think i can deselect any of these things?
@solemn cairn
lol i think benry is fed up with trying to help me tune this drone
But @solemn cairn needs to help me tune my drones first 😑
para what think of tinywhoop
Awesome my friend was over busy with his new 3d printer. So only 2 flights
something small to explore with
Yeah I'll show you flights tomorrow this week has beat me to the ground but I have tomorrow mostly off
So Im gonna get off the ground
para is that oasis 25 or 30
2.5
does this count as similar or ok enough to keep
ya, just not sure if it’s better enough
it counts as better but that cell is still on its way out
just monitor it
and mark the pack
lol i don’t have to make it. this pack took a 200ft fall onto concrete
and looks like a rasin
abandoning these poor batteries
just for doing their best
smh
just flew it, this battery’s best is not very good
it’s my crash battery tho, just took another huge crash, on to pine needles this time tho

true
My batteries wish I would abandon them
What other options are there?
i know right
also idk wtf is going on with my bbl's
all i did is put the dump from one of my fc's on another
same settings and everything
and now they're HUGE
the old one works
and they sent me a replacement
which is the one im using now and saving the old one with the wonky chip as a backup
ok i think i might have figured out why the bbl file is so big!
is it possible to have like multiple flights in one? that bbl file was 16 mb but when i open it in bbe it's only like 9 seconds but in pid toolbox i get this
yeah its multiple flights
lmao im so stupid, i thought that first 9 seconds was taking up all the storage
Get assaulted by more drones
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh also forgot about him
And that's all the ones currently alive
There are dedicated furry servers?
Oh sure
Hm
Can't on mobile
Yes you can
They recently added it
At first clicking tags was desktop only
But it's not anymore
Ah
Wait a modded client for mobile ??
What are the features ?
Then I'll get one more
Don't you dare
Everytime you build a quad I will build another one
How
So I was practicing a tight powerloop around a metal swing and I crashed a bit. It was still flying amazing so I just rolled with but then when I went to the other side of my house it lost video feed immediately. So I realized I lost the vtx antenna in a field full of tall wet grass 😁 otherwise the drone didn't seem to care that I was soaking it all day
It still flys great but I'm learning why you need an antenna
Oh
Well just buy a new one
That’s an easy thing
Yeah I saw this coming from a mile away so I bought 5 last week. Problem is I'm waiting for AliExpress
So now my most functional drone again is still this one
lol
I guess deadcat > than everything else ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I can’t agree with this😂
Guys I swear he likes it
Good news @agile forum we have the same amount of working drones!
1 ?
Oh wair
That would be 0 since my goggle batteries are out of order
Yep 1
Fix that shit mannnn you gotta fly every day.
Us new gen pilots gotta Overthrow the current balance
give me credit 
No time < sim time < careful flying < pushing yourself until you crash
Also an antenna is rather useful so the vtx doesn't self destruct
Without an antenna you are basically begging the PA to die
The all powerful @soft pecan. The only reason I got to fly a whoop in the first place with her great wisdom forseen this problem that I the sketch pilot has created. So with her advice to buy spare antennas that was also picked for me I bought them from a store that @soft pecan taught me how to use. As repentance for my sin I request forgiveness through the means of you naming me as you wish for today. 🙇

That's not a name
What shall my name be great one?
Para 🌈 (The fool)
Para 🌈 (Emilia was right)
Para 🌈 (broke it in 1 hour)
Para 🌈 (The stupid American)
Para 🌈 (can't fly a tinywhoop) ?
Quad cthulu.
That's an epic name
I hate this 
Flying prop monster
Sorry don't be sad I will be para the grateful and keep my name
Para🌈(Goofball)
Let's keep it simple
Para 🌈 (Card declined)
Para's House. (Stop by for a cookie! 🍪)
Where's my cookie ?
Who are you again? 😁
The person who'd like a cookie

🥠 here
Dat not a cookie
Let me read it for you
Ur a scammer
That's one hell of a long fortune message
How did they fit it all in there
It's a fortune cookie it says "watch your back, someone is after your place"
First place 👀
I think I need another drone
-# I mean, I'm not first in most things
, especially not in the one you're interested in
What you mean you got an EPIC collection
I mean yeah but already off the top of my head I know Llama and Settek/mister rubberquad the second have a bazillion more, and I'm pretty sure mopatop Der_V/mister rubberquad and Khrom (not on this server) have more than me as well
In the flow state documentary.
Look at how many Tommy has on his wall.
Makes my collection look like paras.
I mean yeah but I was only really mentioning the people who I know, and excluding YouTubers
Looks like I gotta become a youtube r
The worst part is you just might
Hes also a retailer and manufacturer too so.
I'm sure a good number of thoose parts are prototype or testers in one way or another.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Welp I'm sure para would gladly start a company
Fpv companies kinda sound like a nightmare tho, there is barely any profits to be done but you still have fairly expensive R&D, especially if you do motors or other electronics and not just frames
@soft pecan is it okay to use a nano recivier and electrical tape for this while I wait?
Or is a different antenna bad?
uh oh
that is not a 5.8GHz antenna is it
it needs to match the frequency or you might as well not have an antenna
other than that, that amount of tape weighs a noticeable amount
you are better off using some type of glue like e6000 or even 422c to try and hold it
or some other thing like liquid tape or some fancy 3m solution
Well who knows, maybe the speed of light went down by 60% over in the usa
okay so how bad to fly without entenaa?
How much do you care about having a working vtx ?
fiiiiine
Emiliaaa
Can you help me find the image of the battery flying away from the plane pls
Can't find it
i guess i have 1 drone again now
How is it called
Girthy Gary was a good battery, he may not have flown for long but he gave us long lasting memories
damm
rip the girthy gary
How big of a capacitor was he using
I don't think there was like literally any capacitor
That's not physic-ing
like I think that was all the O3 or whatever was on there maybe a vista
yes it has stumbled scientists for years
@drowsy lily
Did you have a second hidden battery and all this was actually stagged ?
Talk to me brutus
is there any way to keep blackbox from logging all the flights in one file?
it was an OG air unit and no there wasn't any hidden battery lol
must be on board capacitance on the air unit, or maybe the motors generating enough power? i dunno
theres another twist too.. the plane at the point in the video was like ~1km away from me when i lost it... it did a 180 and flew towards me, landed perfectly intact ~150 meters away
I say it's staged, just like the moon landing
i wanna build an o4 3 inch toothpick but its gonna be $340 😭
Welcome to my house here is a cookie 🍪
You seem like the right person to ask. What does it take to become a helper?
If you get helper I’m shooting myself
Also the ET took its first flight today thanks! @solemn cairn
I would be happy to help you
I recommend if you are just getting started with fpv start small to both keep yourself safe and limit both expenses and risk.
Then as you gain experience and are sure that you like the hobby you can increase size as you see fit.
Hey para
Yeah what's up
You wanna know why you ended up with things that didn’t perfectly suit you
Because you never fucking listened
Cuz I didn't research
We would give you options and you would just not understand either of them
Your prolly right
I gave you the choice of a 5inch, you didn’t pay attention to the pros/cons and you just sent it
Trueeee
I made the damn spreadsheet for you
It is my most prized possession thank you
Oh yeah didn’t the drone die because of a short
That happened to be preventable with another thing I told you about that you ignored
I rebutted to this comment not shooting shots out of nowhere
I never shorted it 😁
That was more so about the idea of you getting helper before me
What happened to it at first that destroyed it
I swear you crashed in wet grass
I shared it with someone who didn't know how to fly 😬
Yourself?
Nah I'm a pro
I mean you probably fly better then me
Honestly not sure I crash so often even with 4 drones I still don't always have a working drone
I haven’t flown in a month
You have uncrashed right?
Velocidrone
Heck
I’m also out of town
We gotta fly at somepoint
Idk ¯_(ツ)_/¯ how to make velocidrone work
Cmon shout, that was rude
Wha
Para also seems to like everything he got besides it being dc
Buy, install, play
I think
I like the DC
Never not fine I'm gonna become a helper tho 😉
If you become a helper before me I’ll steal your drones
The one shout message helped me made has been my most reliable drone by far
Sick
Nice
Sounds like a challenge
if you become helper before me I'll steal your drones
am I able to participate
yes
looks like I win
Yeah what the heck, you help more than anyone else, why aren’t you a helper
i was here before the helper role and i shall be here after the helper role
Why is there an after?
everything ends para
I refuse to accept that
Fuck yeah I don't understand how people can be okay with dying
I want to experience and learn everything
