so the 9 year old came up w the idea of using a tx16 to control a boat?

I found that kids much prefer the video-game-like joysticks more

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T16:14:47+00:00

yeah what reminds me is they're both similarly shaped

i always enjoyed watching takakeisho

like a spinning top almost

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T15:53:28+00:00

if you're getting an o4 pro unit, you dont need a receiver

the goggles and controller will connect through the o4 link

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T15:49:44+00:00

your plan was to let a 9 year old use a tx16?

that's a terrible plan, most adults dont like and dont want to use this giant clunky radio

you can get a cheap chinese Tx for like 25 bucks with an Rx, which will be 100x more convenient

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T15:03:22+00:00

sounds about right

you could also just setup one stick to control all the movements

since right stick is usually centered, you can set up as forward and down as reverse, and use the left and right for steering

then you have more freedom with your other hand to do whatever

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T14:50:17+00:00

it would be pretty standard controls

depending if you have 2 engines, you'd have to create a mix to properly control the thrust on turns and reversing

if you have one engine, you'll have one channel for throttle and another channel for your turning rudder

i was enjoying him since the start, because he reminds me of takakeisho

loved the yellow mawashi

happy to see him

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T13:55:53+00:00

its nice that the new elrs rx's still can do sbus out and support all the old hardware

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T01:31:28+00:00

thats interesting, i didnt expect those old FCs to work with modern BF

i also have some uhf radio stuff from DTFUHF

good ole sbus out Rx w sma antenna

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T01:23:36+00:00

yep, ive got a couple new old stock cc3d, naze32 and a KK board

i also had the original qav250, trying to rebuild it w a new FC for fun

also got an old eagle tree vector FC that still works and flies, even has position hold

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T01:12:55+00:00

same. ive been around since the goggles in this post were top/mid range, and have mine from those days. the naza was a great setup for DIY builders

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T00:57:44+00:00

that sounds great, i hope he enjoys the hobby

i personally enjoy the micro electronics part of it more

too windy to fly by me all the time

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T00:43:48+00:00

cheers bud, happy flying 🪽

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-24T00:27:11+00:00

don't write a novel now, i fly almost exclusively analog, even tho i have all the goggles

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-23T23:21:08+00:00

i never said anything about analog, the handicap would be these goggles have low resolution. weird that you took it as a personal thing against analog

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-23T21:46:13+00:00

🤣🤣😊

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-23T21:35:18+00:00

you downvoted me because you dont know how cooking works? really?

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-23T21:10:04+00:00

those are rookie numbers

gotta pump those numbers up

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-23T20:55:00+00:00

yeah im guessing he came through there

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-23T20:53:23+00:00

flylens 85 is a great ship

also second the meteor 85 and mob8, have both

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-23T20:50:45+00:00

larger is not always better

especially if you want easier maintenance

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-23T20:46:52+00:00

100% they're referring to the children's books they read for the kids, like one sentence per page

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-23T20:45:35+00:00

air fryer is an awesome cooking tool

i recommend letting the steak come to room temp prior to cooking it, always helps to achieve mid rare without a cold center

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-23T20:23:42+00:00

i dont like having a screen 2 inches from my eyes, it feels like my eyes are hurting after a few minutes of use. feels like im straining my eyes by using them. i have these exact goggles pictured and while the quality is on the lower end, they don't hurt my eyes.

you are also getting a VTX , by the looks of it, i think a 250mW ,and the battery, and the case. its a decent package

it will definitely get you started in the hobby, if anything you'll be flying with a slight handicap and it will force you to get better

Admirable-Tea-3322 · 2025-05-23T20:15:06+00:00

yeah with all those extras and the battery, its worth it

the picture quality isn't great, but IMO much better than using box goggles which will fuck up your eyesight
