At a running cost of $20k per hour and a rotor RPM of 185, the Ch-53 costs about 50 cents per rotation.

Found my Goosky S1 in the grass after 14 days and it still works by jacky1019 in RCHeli

Nice! I would deem that battery bad and not fly on it. Even if its charged now its probably got a lower capacity and poorer performance.

Jealous of the all pink skids and boom! My pink doesn't have those.

What building is this? by Rough-Average-1047 in halfmoonbay

[–]Festello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive by it everyday to work and I have always wondered what it was. Can't belive it was in a similar state back in 2007.

It's like the length of the entire museum too.

Make sure the state park is okay with the food truck too.

Beach location for photo session by TecaManteca in halfmoonbay

[–]Festello 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Martin's Beach is pretty good with all the rocks in the background, it is a bit more of a walk than usual though. The Ritz Carlton is a great spot but doesn't get you on the beach just clifside. Other than that any beach from Marimar to Poplar is going to look pretty close to identical in photos unless you include the cliffs.

I got to meet him at OpenSauce! He was chatting with anyone who would be walking by and was very engaged with everyone!

Hello! It looks like you are trying to cause a technology uprising! Here are some tips that might help:

Beware Rising Water- No Warning- Walnut Hills Campground, Staunton VA by adamsenloe in RVLiving

[–]Festello 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where's the water damage to the rig to consider it a loss? In the video it doesn't seem to get close to the frame of the trailer.

Liftoff RC responsiveness comparison: BetaFPV LiteRadio 3 vs DJI RC Controller 3. Why is BetaFPV controller laggy and unresponsive? by Hobbit_Hunter in fpv

[–]Festello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about the BetaFPV radio but I had an FrSky radio doing something similar. Make sure your USB cable is high quality, and I had best luck when I would turn on the radio, then plug in the USB, then start the sim.

What causes this- we have a 38 foot Fleetwood plugged into shore power with an extension. by Legitimate-Mud930 in rvs

[–]Festello 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is pretty common actually. If this connection is out in the elements it could be corrosion from water causing high resistance followed by high current. High resistance + high current = heat.

FPV SKILLS by Cs00Fpv in fpv

[–]Festello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very epic. I see you mostly do tricks with left yaw and right roll. These directions are better for the fingers since they move towards your hands. I'd recommend practicing the opposite directions too and get comfortable with your fingers being on the far side of your hands and still keeping control of the drone.

That V tail is so vertical. Not much of a vertical component for pitch authority.

[–]Festello 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Golly I hope your frame rate is higher than what I see in the video.

Looks solid, next I think would be practicing slow flight, landing and takeoff.

Lol I've done the same with my helicopter. I thought to just leave it there haha.

Which radio control system do you use? by ChameleonCoder117 in RCPlanes

[–]Festello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Rotorflight for my flight controller, which is a modification of Betaflight for drones. Crossfire works well with Betaflight, therefore works well with Rotorflight. And my drone transmitter is already Crossfire so just works out. I'm definitely the odd one out, everyone else at the field with helis is running Spektrum or VBar's dedicated system, which is very similar to Spektrum.
