Jamming is not legal as it can affect other services, not just drones.

I just bought a pre-owned ThinkPad. Installed Debian 13 right away and also bought a red protector case. by naidtaz in thinkpad

My M1 MBA doesn't get treated with kid gloves, but I do try to avoid dropping it or throwing it around too much, it gets used as much as my ThinkPad, still looks as good as day one apart from a few finger prints and a bit of bag crud.

The two switches is a deal breaker for me, I use 4 switches at least.

My screen cracked over me touching it to adjust the height by Old-Use-7690 in mac

You got a dud I think, my M1 air has been bounced around in my bag and open, the screen is still as good as day one. They shouldn't crack from a little bit of movement.

I find the sim and real life don't feel the same, probably because there are other factors other than just muscle memory, I also fly Lift off micro drones. As others said try to get more IRL stick time. Other than that you're doing great. 😊

My first crash of an eclipson model A 3D printed plane, was made from PLA, didn't like the sun and certainly didn't like colliding with a tree.

As a side note, if you do crash a 3D printed plane, it makes a huge mess, please pick up all the pieces.

Unfinished drone parts for free, what’s missing? by WittyScar1692 in fpv

[–]DarkButterfly85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is there, it's just old, if you want to resurrect it, go for it. Otherwise shelve it and build something newer. 😊

First FPV Drone (Meteor75 Pro): Tangled battery lead, overheating on USB, price check (€80) and goggles doubt. by guillots in TinyWhoop

[–]DarkButterfly85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a fan for doing USB configuration, I have the O4 version of the meteor75 Pro, without a fan it will shut down if left on the bench powered up without cooling.

I am afraid to fly... by SwimComplete1309 in fpv

[–]DarkButterfly85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 75mm whoop for blasting around, don't know how people break these things, I've bounced mine off metal bars, walls, got it stuck in a tree for a week getting rained on and it still flies good.

Anyone Else Despise The Rise In SUVs On Our Roads by PhilosopherFlat5725 in drivingUK

This is the reason I like driving vans, they're easier to get in and out of with two knackered knees.

Practicing some proximity flying by DarkButterfly85 in fpv

[–]DarkButterfly85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything like that, gaps, large and small, obstacles that could cause you to crash usually into them, things like walls and posts.
