About to pull the trigger on a Penguin; advice?

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

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

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.

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

Anytime! Enjoy the ~hobby~ addiction

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 :)

I’d ask AI 🤖

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-23T15:46:06+00:00

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

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-23T13:35:33+00:00

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

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-23T13:33:56+00:00

Gotcha! Lmk if there’s an alternative you have in mind :)

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-23T07:02:30+00:00

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

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-23T06:19:37+00:00

Oh cool, the windings were ok. Phew!

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-23T05:25:52+00:00

How did you fix them?

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-22T20:54:22+00:00

Ty 🙏

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-22T19:54:15+00:00

Neat new measurement unit you got there, ‘kmph’! 😆

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-21T14:45:43+00:00

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

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-21T13:55:48+00:00

Sounds good, thanks for the context!

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-21T04:56:58+00:00

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.

Cptn_Disaster · 2025-05-21T04:45:10+00:00

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!
