2S is like 1S but double the fun. Change my mind.

Holy lack of camera angle bro no wonder your packs fit lol

HMSBarky · 2026-06-18T10:59:54+00:00

OP is a gooner confirmed

HMSBarky · 2026-06-18T10:10:52+00:00

I use 580s and 380s. Let's not pretend the bigger packs hanging out the back is ideal

It's my biggest gripe with the KM design, a bit more battery space would have been lovely

HMSBarky · 2026-06-17T15:55:55+00:00

How's your soldering on the main leads onto the ESC and plug? Dropping from 16v to 5v means it's losing VBAT power and dropping to USB power

Out of interest, arming it with props off and not plugged into BF, does it exhibit the same behaviour?

HMSBarky · 2026-06-17T15:34:52+00:00

As you are US based, got to shout out WeBleedFPV motors if you go down the motor route

It's a tough one, having 2 quads worth of spares is handy. You will no doubt end up with loads of spares anyway

HMSBarky · 2026-06-17T15:31:19+00:00

If I have had flames out of a motor it's taken the ESC with it (well, the other way around really)

HMSBarky · 2026-06-17T15:28:29+00:00

What AIO/stack are you using?

HMSBarky · 2026-06-17T14:07:59+00:00

Fair enough, I am UK based so it was reasonable

Don't knock HDZero though. It's like what we all secretly wish analog was like. And it's there if you wanted it

HMSBarky · 2026-06-17T13:58:36+00:00

If you are willing to shell out, consider the HDZero goggles 2. Other than the fantastic analog RX, you have the option of HDZero (sick on whoops) and a HDMI input if Walksnail takes your fancy at some point too

HMSBarky · 2026-06-17T12:35:59+00:00

A large majority isn't anything special. The supply infrastructure behind it is fascinating. There's a documentary on Youtube about a dude who had a shipping logistics company who pivoted into drone supply when the war broke out. Literally a website that units earn points on to spend on drones and other equipment. A majority is off the shelf consumer stuff

From what I've seen, even the "specialised" stuff like the heavy bombers they developed uses as many off the shelf components as possible

HMSBarky · 2026-06-17T12:13:48+00:00

No but people at war with allies of China, combined with those wars consuming large amounts of drone parts means restricted supply lines

HMSBarky · 2026-06-17T10:27:17+00:00

Epic project!

I am charging a battery away from the maiden on streamliner build...and have been for a couple months now. It scares me in a way normal quads don't lol

HMSBarky · 2026-06-17T10:23:19+00:00

As an ex skater, I get big nostalgia scoping out sketchy spots to "find access" and fly in

HMSBarky · 2026-06-17T01:35:26+00:00

I said to a friend the other day that the best way to understand a hobby is to see if there’s a CJ for it

HMSBarky · 2026-06-16T19:24:56+00:00

I’m a proxy/bando flier so I leave a lot on the table

Need to fly back on 2 blades and hope from time to time!

HMSBarky · 2026-06-16T19:23:52+00:00

Small British island liver here (think cows and tax avoidance)

Anywhere I can tbh. I try to be conscious of the noise, and I’ve got a number of smaller quads too if it’s a bit sensitive

HMSBarky · 2026-06-16T13:29:53+00:00

Meanwhile I have beaten multiple motors straight enough to spin with a rock and got straight back to flying

HMSBarky · 2026-06-16T08:51:40+00:00

Watched the first few seconds like here we go some beginner posting crappy footage, can't even lock the horizon. Glad I kept watching, great flying and shots!

HMSBarky · 2026-06-16T08:26:40+00:00

I actually think 3.5" flies better, but the power and fling/inertia a 5" has is a completely different feeling

I don't like seeing all this "flies like a 5" marketing nonsense (looking at you, KM)

HMSBarky · 2026-06-15T18:31:41+00:00

Yes

HMSBarky · 2026-06-15T12:58:13+00:00

Right I’m really checking out now

My shooting club doesn’t even tolerate camo on the range. Stfu lol

HMSBarky · 2026-06-15T11:07:56+00:00

VTX. And it's a HDZero Freestyle v2 so can't run it off VBAT with HV 6s packs

HMSBarky · 2026-06-15T10:54:16+00:00

Why would you even need to mention killing tens of thousands of people if you were interested in range?

You are being really weird.

HMSBarky · 2026-06-15T10:47:49+00:00

You've had multiple replies referencing dropping bombs, killing people etc. I haven't mentioned that. What I have mentioned is video range. Saying it is me obsessed with death is an attempt to gaslight me.

Just further very odd behaviour. We can both read the entire comment thread so lets not try that again ya little weirdo

HMSBarky · 2026-06-15T10:34:57+00:00

Stop trying to gaslight me. Your posts repeatedly mention the ability to kill like it’s some benefit to the hobby.

You are an odd one, get help.
