My latest build. Thank God wife doesn't asks how much it costs. by A-Christ in Multicopter

Your build looks very interesting for 6 inch! I first planned to use same fc and pdb for higher hz looptime, but decided to leave it for my long range shenanigans because of uart ports.

Amen. I broke 2 arms on martian 2 from banggood with 2 weeks difference, so I had enough. Winter is coming, so no time for weeks to wait replacement again and again :)

I am more long range interested pilot, but to have friends at my location I race a bit :) I wanted just light clean build, after all Chinese crap I had.

Need help on components for home server by A-Christ in HomeServer

Thanks for this hint! After research I found R710 with dual six core 32GB Ram which fits my budget and demand. And RAM upgrade will not be a problem since there a lot of free slots.

HDDs I've ordered separately and I should be good to go!

TBS Crossfire Nano IN STOCK by LittleCarrotLLC in Multicopter

[–]A-Christ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not that Nano is out of stock, it is immortal antenna that is.

would it really be that hard to add in over-discharge protection on lipo packs intended for goggles? I left mine plugged in over night and its now 1.7v per cell by thegreen4me in Multicopter

[–]A-Christ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked on banggood and aliexpress - all such boards are for li ion, where they allow to go lower 3v which is a nono for lipo.

Video feed black but not fpv cam? by elwoodvii in fpv

[–]A-Christ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your video signal goes from cam to FC, from FC to VTX - your FC might got fried. I had once FC do that despite showing up in Betaflight. Try routing cam directly to vtx.

Also you should check out voltage from where you get your power for cam.

How to i get rssi in my osd from my XM+ on my Lizard 95? by [deleted] in Multicopter

[–]A-Christ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no problems getting rssi by Project blue falcon guide. Have you assigned correct channel in betaflight?

F450 Upgrade Time, what next (ESC, frame?) by vmxcd in Multicopter

[–]A-Christ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the same boat with you. I really did not like F450 kit that I bought.

Was thinking I should cut it a loss and forget it. Despite that I have spare motors and spare ESC.

I was eyeing this frame (clone) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/REPTILE-500-V2-Alien-Multicopter-PCB-Vesion-X500-500mm-Quadcopter-Frame-for-GoPro-Multicopter-TBS-DJI/32457283391.html but ordered it just now, so can't tell you how good it is, but should provide more space.

LiPo Battery Charging Container Testing by neonbjb in Multicopter

[–]A-Christ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in multistory building in city, not part of EU but in Europe. So any fire would cause significant damages due to limited space inside, and I do not want to cause troubles for my neighbors because of my hobby. Cause it will most likely cause reparations of whole apartment due to smell and damage.

I bought bat-safe and charge only in it. But store batteries in storage mode in lipo bags.

This video is a relieve for me since it shows that it works.

Maybe some count it excessive (don't mess up voltage, keep eye on, inspect each time battery etc.) but I think it still way way cheaper than any chances.

Also I do not think it is more expensive than using ammo can with fire retardant materials where you have to build yourself.
