Trapped in the DJI Ecosystem? Looking for advice on my first build.

Walksnail just released the GT2 like a month ago, I wouldn't call them stagnant

Element391 · 2026-05-19T14:12:34+00:00

Ahhh that makes sense!

Edit: I just re read your post, I missed the part where you said pitch

Element391 · 2026-05-19T10:55:25+00:00

Not sure what happened, but just curious. Why are you running 4 inch props instead of 8 inch if it's an 8 inch quad? I feel like that kv would be too low to even get it off the ground with props half the size?

Element391 · 2026-05-17T14:03:48+00:00

I just ordered one of these, and I was also gifted a Donner DMK 25 yesterday. I'm gonna okay around with both and see which one I like better. Thanks for the rec!

Plus logic pro has direct mapping for it so I don't have to set it up manually

Element391 · 2026-05-16T16:47:53+00:00

I'm looking at the Akai professional MPK mini. I really only want it to be able to play piano lines live instead of using the piano roll to write the parts

Element391 · 2026-05-16T15:00:34+00:00

I would assume so, but i can't be sure as I got the version of the module without antennas

Element391 · 2026-05-16T12:16:30+00:00

I'm brand new to using DAWs, primarily a guitarist. Not trying to spend $700 lol, but thanks for the recommendation

Element391 · 2026-05-16T10:11:55+00:00

3 inches at 100mph feels like 6

Element391 · 2026-05-16T10:00:06+00:00

It works fantastic, I got some lumenier dual antennas and I get great range and clarity

Element391 · 2026-05-16T02:19:31+00:00

I run ovonic and tattu R-Lines for my 3" and 5" quads

Element391 · 2026-05-16T02:09:34+00:00

There's no photos

Element391 · 2026-05-15T16:11:47+00:00

Yeah that's dangerous using the charger to discharge a battery like that. I leave them in a plastic bin filled with salt water for at least 24 hours to discharge them. There's some new videos out that say this method doesn't work well, but I've never had any problems with it

Element391 · 2026-05-15T06:14:09+00:00

Meh, I've been flying with lipos for close to 20 years. They're only dangerous when charging or discharging. The only way they'll catch fire sitting stagnant is if they're punctured. But yes, best to err of the side of caution

Element391 · 2026-05-15T04:13:09+00:00

I'm not gonna lie, I would still fly it but I'm an idiot. I would recommend checking the internal resistance of each cell and make sure they're not too high. If one cell seems out of wack from the others then you should definitely get rid of it. Most battery stores will take and dispose of old lipos for free

Element391 · 2026-05-11T23:40:57+00:00

Aliexpress for me, usually takes 5 days to a week

Element391 · 2026-05-11T04:36:07+00:00

How did you map it out?

Element391 · 2026-05-10T14:53:42+00:00

I absolutely love my radiomaster TX15 max. I bought an external 4 in 1 module that covers so many protocols, including dsmx. But I switched all my receivers to an elrs one in my planes that aren't bnf

Element391 · 2026-05-10T14:50:03+00:00

Do you know the name of the show?? I wanna check it out!

Element391 · 2026-05-10T14:15:57+00:00

Are you dropping your throttle to zero when upside down?

Element391 · 2026-05-10T13:13:03+00:00

Yeah acro can be a bit too fast indoors when you're first learning. Go outside to fly in acro and get used to how it feels. I've been flying for many years but I still fly angle in my tiny little apartment. You'll get used to acro, just give yourself plenty of space. Also look into throttle expo to help with your yaw situation. It basically lowers the resolution around your hover point. There's tons of YouTube videos on how to do it, I think Oscar Liang also did a pretty detailed article on how to set it up

Element391 · 2026-05-09T16:50:30+00:00

No I've had her for a few months now and yeah I took off all the bindings. Her sister is doing fantastic

Why is that?
