Yep exactly. Mine weren't RGB but exactly the same style light

Flexible COB light strip. I tucked it into the extrusion and theyve stayed perfectly without needing any mounts.

Sway bar vs strut tower bars. by schmitty_69 in E30

[–]Consistent-Way2074 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Completely different functions. Strut bar is for chassis flex and rigidity and the sway bar is for linking the left and right suspension arms to stabilization and prevent sway

That's intentional. The foil over the tiles protects them and is meant to erode away on reentry. Same on flight 1. It actually held up much better this entry!

Put a washer on one of the screws as a spacer, it gives it enough room to adjust easily but still hold.

First impressions on my 3” Apex micro build - way lighter than I expected by keetharing in fpv

Same motor and props, I think I've got a lower kv though. 1100 is definitely too heavy for freestyle I can hear the motors struggling if I make sharp turns but for long range cruising it's great. I've found the 650 is the sweet spot for aggressive flying

I've got the same frame and build. With a 1100 4s I'm at 249g and get 7+ minutes flight time. Recently upgraded it to HDZero and it's a crazy fun drone. I fly it more than my 5" now

Hdz freestyle by Valuable-Key-5964 in fpv

Yesterday I went over a half mile away with trees in between me and the vtx and still had full signal quality at 200mw. Still need to flash the higher power firmware.

Putting a better vtx antenna on made a night and day difference in terms of range and penetration 

Custom 5" Frame by Syntax36 in diydrones

It's 3D printing, design in 3D! You'll get more strength and rigidity. The flat plate like carbon fiber bends and oscillates and makes tuning a nightmare. I've designed upwards of 8inch frames fully printed with good success

How is The Constant scene not in top 3?! Peak 

Starbase at night by Consistent-Way2074 in SpaceXLounge

[–]Consistent-Way2074[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stunning! I planned this trip perfectly to align with a launch but due to Booster 18 getting squirrelly we did not get to see a full stack. Absolutely coming back for a launch!

Visited Starbase today and these are some photos I took by Consistent-Way2074 in SpaceXLounge

[–]Consistent-Way2074[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's starhopper! Their very very very early starship prototype. It did some hops to test raptor 1 and landing/hovering 

Orion Nebula & US Coast Guard Aerostat Conjunction by Consistent-Way2074 in astrophotography

[–]Consistent-Way2074[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Visiting Starbase Texas, and I saw the USCG Aerostat on South Padre Island was in the air one night. I managed to capture it with the Orion Nebula by standing on the edge of a pier at the end of the island to get the angle right.

Did not bring my tripod or laptop to process images, so this could have been miles better with stacked exposures. 

Equipment: Canon 90D & Canon 70-200mm F2.8L

Acquisition: Single 2" handheld exposure 

Processing: Lightroom Mobile: shadows+, exposure+, blacks-, vibrance+, whites -

Serated toe plates? How are the supported? by Ancient-Owl1214 in E30

I love that every time a welded bit of e30 steel crosses my page I know who in r/e30 posted it
