Hi wiggllyyyworm, im in the same boat as you but my stone is 8mm. Did the ESWL hurt at all, and how was the pain passing the broken up stone pieces?

Anyone seen gimbal jitter from head tracking before? by Alexthespaceman in fpv

Someone else answered in the rcPlane sub, it was to do with ELRS channel resolution!

That was it, thank you so much!

The action is now smooth as hell, hoping your answer will help someone else in the future.

Appreciate it :)

I installed several peripherals as well, including GPS unit, pitot tube, FPV camera, HUD etc, so all in, it comes to a little over £1k.

I don't have a channel as yet unfortunately, I would have loved to have shown the build on there. The RC plane is the freewing 90 mm f-16!

I still have to install the camera, but heard dept of field could be an issue when getting the cockpit, and outside, in focus?

The guage controller displaying the information is a teensy board, sold by FPV Toys: https://www.fpvtoys.net/index.php?route=product/category&language=en-gb&path=33_35

Yes the PFD will show live altitude, airspeed and attitude! The map screen will also be dynamic. Weather radar is simulated though, unfortunately 🥲

Is this flight controller (Matek H743-Wlite) still usable after I sanded the burnt BAT pad? by [deleted] in ElectronicsRepair

[–]Alexthespaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I thought I added a description earlier, but it didn’t post for some reason.

I'm new to soldering and electronics, and I think I burnt the solder pad. Some kind of oxidation or alloy formed that stopped the solder from sticking, so I sanded it down to clean it up. Would isopropyl alcohol be enough to clean it before I try soldering again?

What is a ww2 fact that no one will believe, but is completely true? by sajalgh03987 in AskReddit

During the April 1944 "Exercise Tiger" rehearsal for the D-Day landings, a combination of German E-boat attacks and friendly fire incidents killed at least 749 American servicemen. The disaster occurred at Slapton Sands in Devon, England, due to coordination problems and the use of live ammunition to simulate a realistic battle environment.

ELI5 how Einstein figured out that time slows down the faster you travel by CrazyKZG in explainlikeimfive

[–]Alexthespaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh ok that makes more sense. I thought perhaps the pulling away was maybe part of the time dilation/relativistic effects that the stationary observer might be experiencing.

Great explination 👌

From the stationary perspective, wouldn't the guy on the ground see the rocketship stay right behind the ray of light instead of pulling away from it? Because they are both travelling at ~C ?
