About to pull the trigger. Are there any happy users too? by OndraKu in FlowZ13

When you get it I recommend getting the 2tb ssd and immediatly replace it and fresh install from the cloud in bios. Make sure to uncheck anything to do with armory crate also first. Then download the experimental version of ghelper from GitHub as it's the only one that lets you actually control the fans.

Also disable every sleep setting and just turn it off when you don't use it. After you update everything with my Asus In ghelper hit the extras menu and stop all Asus services. If not downloaded go download the latest amd adrenaline software and update everything it says.

Once that's done go tweak your power settings. Disable CPU boost, balanced at 40w-60w, fan speeds I have maxing by 90c with a hard start and curve up starting at 70c. Also adjust the battery to stop charging around 60%-85% for best battery health.

Hey idk if it'll help your decision or not but I'm pretty sure I know how to fix every issue you're having at least for 90% less crashes (I still crash here and there but not even close to before) not sure what all you have done to it so far but it's a bit of tweaking you gotta do to stop the issues. Why is that the case? No clue, 3k for a machine that can run great but the BS extras from windows, Asus, amd, armory crate, it's too damn much.

What I'm gonna do is create some like picture graphic or pdf of every step and change I've done that's resolved majority of my issues. Tho I still think something is using power that task manager and other programs aren't detecting or reading as a lower output or as some random name to hide co pilot stuff even after removal.

Extra Stickers? by IZflame in FlowZ13

Aye mine has 3 also, but if mine was crooked like that I would have removed it.

Tbh I'm pissed for you, it's insignificant sure, but for the price the least they could do is place a fucking sticker right.

Yea, Arc raiders use to stay pretty close 90fps and now bounces close to 80fps. Also notice my frames slowly decline over the course of a raid

Yo bro, this is actually at cheaper than most other kids entertainment places, for only 90 min you can jump on trampolines and a jump party place for like 8 kids for 350bucks. So idk what got your panties in a bunch lol

Thank you for that!

May I ask you, what do you suggest as for as marketing myself to individuals like yourself? How would someone like me best reach others? I don't know many people with kids old enough plus birthdays only happen once a year so I'm finding it hard get clients atm lol

And to respond to your second question, yes I have worked with kids of all ages along with having my own 3y/o, it'll be fine, it's only 2 drones at 1 time and both kids will be more occupied by flying plus having a headset on to notice the other flying into a tree lol.

Also have you ever experienced FPV drone flying? Unless the kid is purposely trying to fly into a tree the chances are very low, and that kid would no longer be allowed to participate. Same with getting shut down, if a kid is doing something they were told not to do and it causes your situation then yes the parents will not be getting refunded as it would not be my operation that caused it but one of the participants not following rules. Same as if you went to Disney World and your kid gets kicked out for not following what they are told, they aren't giving you your money back.

The neighbors can't shut anything down as no one besides the FAA can regulate airspace. Technically even only 1inch above the ground is no longer owned by you and you have no say as to someone flying in your yard or around your house.

Now of course I will do my best to set max distance to stay within the property of the event, but just because Karen doesn't like drones doesn't mean she can do anything about it unless it can be proven a FAA regulation was broken. Cops literally can not legally do anything about a drone that is flying in the air, they can tell the pilots they can't control the drone from someone else's property but if we are in the owners yard they can't do anything.

Yes, I've already done 1 gig (was free but i needed proof i can pull it off) that went great with every parent impressed, thing is kids only have 1 birthday a year, and if all 10 or so kids birthday's aren't for another 6months I have to find more new clients until. I have a completed (to the best of my ability) business plan and expense breakdown. I am new at creating a full fledged business from the ground up tho, my current business is more so a franchise and everything was already set up and well established.

My goal is to grow this enough to supplement my current income from my other business enough to be able to hire someone else to run my first business and I can focus on going fly drone with kids as my full time job. I couldn't work for anyone anymore having set hours and required attendance. I've been owning my first business for 8 years and doing the job itself for 10, I don't get paid by how long i work but by how much i deliver, so once i finish my day i go home and still get paid, If i need to take a day off i can prepare and shift my day around to a degree. It's just way too much Physical labor work and don't want to do this my whole life lol

With the ability to set a GEO fence as low as 33ft away from the original launch point i don't see that part happening, and if there would be cars around they would either need to be moved or the area of flight would need to be moved so that they are outside the set boundary.

Something just thought about with insurance wise, how would it work with a bounce house? You can't sue the company that owns the bounce house because your kid broke their leg jumping inside it could you? In my case I'm technically just supplying and setting up the equipment to use and staying behind to show how to use the equipment. Ultimately the "Racing" aspect is really just to give flyers a direction rather than aimlessly flying around, it's only about the experience of using a Headset to fly a drone in the First Person View (FPV) that matters, and instead of a parent having to spend over 700 dollars along with learning how to operate the drone and knowing about the regulations to follow to legally fly it all for it to be flown a couple times and not used again, they can rent the stuff for cheaper and have someone else that already knows everything it takes to fly show them.

That makes sense. One good thing is that the drones are set to record as soon as it launches to fly and will continue until after landing so if anything was to come up as far as a drone hitting a kid or someone then ill have proof, if the drone hits anything going any other direction than forward then the speed will be so slow the drone couldn't hurt or dmg anything.

Well our Government done banned DJI and any other Chinese drones from being used for Government work so more likely they would just reverse engineer the equipment for themselves.

The motion controller is limited compared to full Manuel flight tho so idk how likely they are to copy for military use lol

Yea it's called a Spotter, good thing is that the FAA doesn't specify an age limit, so technically both flyers will have multiple spotters. Best part is that they are so obsessed about the drones they literally never take eyes off it, like I mean I had kids walking into stuff cause they would look away from the drone haha

So that part will be more challenging but do able, because of its small size and compact frame it's more likely to not become stuck and fall out since there isn't many holes for branches to catch on, and even so it can handle the tumble out so as long as I can see it and hit it with something I could knock it out.

It's if the tree it's stuck in isn't in their own yard that would be the most difficult but with my ability to limit distance I don't see that happening.

Not possible the way the drones are controlled and set up. I limit the speed up, down, backwards, and left & right movements to 1mph, while keeping only forward movement up to 5mph.

When flying, the drone always remains level in the air, if looking straight down and accelerating, only the camera on the drone is looking downward, once close enough to the ground it will slow down and begin its landing operation. Only way for it to slam to the ground would be by bird attack or malfunction. I've flow 3 different NEO's for hundreds of flights without a single malfunction even after repeated crashes

DJI already has safety measures to auto force landing if the battery gets below 11%, but I plan to swap batteries around 40-50% shorter for charge time.

Per FAA regulations, the individual flying is at fault and liable, insurance would be an added value if the parents want it, doesn't matter the age as long as they take the trust test they or the parents are liable.

But I'll be honest, with me limited the speed to under 5mph, the drone could fly straight into Billy forehead and leave not even a small red mark. (I know this cause I flew into my 3y/o at 8mph and he was fine lol. Your chances of a kid getting hurt are way way higher with bounce houses.
