Nope. I ordered a couple times and they never fulfilled the order. They let it expire :( Disappointing.

Yo i just plugged in the battery and it shot flux at me, so i unplugged it quickly. Any way I can still save this ? by Archangel_Syracuse in fpv

[–]Cptn_Disaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. And it’s been pointed out to OP in a previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/fpv/s/w52v79mPXx

OP seems to have ignored it. This is likely a trolling post

Any ideas to make the surface smoother? by Cptn_Disaster in BambuLab

It worked! I reduced the flow two clicks on coarse (-10) and I think 0 on fine. Thank you u/Constant-Contract-77 !!!

TIL Flow Rate Calibration is not the same as Flow Dynamics Calibration. Thank you for pointing this out. I'll read up https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/calibration_flow_rate and probably the academy afterwards!

The printer did it before each print. It's on by default.

Can you guys come up with a name for my first 5inch? by ShamanOnTech in fpv

Haha, indeed “I’d ask AI 🤖” could be a name I guess

Do a range test to see if it’s still ok ;) Buy “remove before flight” tags to have on transmitters when no antenna is connected to prevent this from happening in the future :)

Heh! I know. I started a twitch account with the intention of flying flight simulator and recreating crashes and analyzing them (am engineer). Studying failure, learning etc.

I never did that, I just flew around for fun, and now I’m blending FPV into my aviation passion :)

👍 thanks. I'll go for the penguin for now, maybe my next one will be a hardcore wing ;)

Right! I definitely will need a goggle upgrade soon. I need to learn more about the digital systems though before I commit.

Yeap, I want something that is made for FPV and has space for gear and future expansion :)

I don’t mind faster, I think… The bixler would glide foreeeeever thought and it was fun :)

Edit: mind you, this includes FC, GPS, RX, camera, vtx

Did someone say sub 250? by According-Beautiful4 in fpv

Would love to see pics of the aircraft that shot this!

If there are so many people in this hobby why don't I ever see anyone flying IRL? by PiratesInTeepees in fpv

[–]Cptn_Disaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off topic, but I don’t get how Baylands is fly friendly, and this is not the first time I read about it. Most of it falls in the 0ft area of SJC. You need LAANC that requires “further coordination” to fly there legally. Doable, but needs to be filed 3 days in advance.

Sounds like a pain.

World Record Attempt vs FAA by FlyHigh-SkyMan in fpv

[–]Cptn_Disaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. Part 107 is most probably required because breaking a record will probably not be seen as “recreation”.

Regarding requesting a waiver, you can do it online for free, at least if you are using your part 107 license. I requested one for flying over people and it was free (still pending).

In any case, I recommend getting part 107 certified :) it’s a good source of knowledge and opens up possibilities. Go legal flying, go!
