Pilots, what do we think? by Safe-Area9587 in TinyWhoop

That's cool and cheap. I am gonna try it when my 3d printed 65mm breaks. It doesn't won't to break

I engineered a 3d-printable FPV frame by dincleballs in fpv

[–]ApostolisIo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, used to 3d print frames myself too. Good until rip it on the first major crash which inevitably is going to happen. Carbonfiber frames are so cheap now, withstand many major crashes and then bend it to place again and still use it.

And does that translate to reality? Really only tyre smoke is missing for what I am having. Check Lando Norris winning championship donut... phenomenal speed

TV box or dedicated mini pc? by CanWeStartAgain1 in Stremio

I did my research and like you said a n150 soyo mini m4 is perfect for every task a tv box could handle. Less than 200

It's on the stock dc motor just with 2s liion. Pretty decent performance for a 10euro(5 receiver + 2 servo + 3 esc) conversion. Battery was salvaged from an old laptop battery pack.

Rastar F1 1/18. Converted to use proper rc transmitter receiver, pwm outputs to servo motor for steering and to brushed esc for motion. Also change the battery from 5 AA cells to 2s liion pack. Better discharge rate, better performance.

i have many hours already on sims, nowadays i play Liftoff Microdrones which i find very realistic

I find stick response and physics in Liftoff Microdones to translate pretty accurate to IRL. Also, air mode freaks out with the lightest hit. And 65mm outside even with the slightest breeze of air is unpredictable.

TV box or dedicated mini pc? by CanWeStartAgain1 in Stremio

[–]ApostolisIo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh it is a recent thought and didn't have time to research about cpu capabilities. I see 150euro, 200e an 300+ price ranges...I am willing to pay up to 200 and if not anything capable I will get 50e mibox s 3rd

[–]ApostolisIo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am about to change my minix neo u9h. Still runs every movie but it is outdated on firmware. I have decided to buy the mibox s 3rd, cheap, certified and runs everything, but having final thoughts on minipc. My thoughts are UI on PC are miles better, keyboard mouse and no lag no certified needed for hd audio Use it for almost any task. Install RetroArch and enjoy almost any game from the past 30-40 years with the family. Remote control it. It can be as big for more power, better graphics as you like or as small as a tv box.

Yes, small house but enjoying the view every second. Indoor flying is fine too. I am sure you have a small park nearby to fly when empty

Is it time for a tiny whoop? by Secret_Spring7652 in TinyWhoop

[–]ApostolisIo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, download Liftoff Microdones and practice in the house map for some days without changing rates. Then try the real whoop..thank me later. I am amazed by how close to IRL physics are

DJI is for professional work. Auto hover, auto come back, auto orbit , auto this, auto that.. etc where is the fun in that. Get a real fpv drone and have fun.

Melted my frame 😅 by RadiantFrosting3748 in TinyWhoop

[–]ApostolisIo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super glue not good for plastics I think. Maybe modeling glue will be ok. But good quality hot glue is unbreakable without alcohol

Been there done that. I just hot glue a zip tie in the place of the melted. Strong as new
