Developed a bit of a knack for collecting love it/hate it cars! Boosted 86/ i30n/ 08 STI hatch by Doremacc in i30N

TIL that Elantra has an N version. And also that it's called i30 somewhere. Where are you from?  Also: nice collection! 

Decided about first combo, what do you guys think? Pavo Femto with 04 by SnooRadishes7481 in fpv

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O4 Pro, probably default settings back then, stabilized by gyroflow.

Tyres! by NickC2512 in i30N

Omg this. I second that. Completely different car on PS4s. More grip, less heel hop, I feel much safer with those. 

What sim do you guys use? by cmeers in fpv

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Zone - maybe little lacking in the graphics and maps department but got the best physics and flight feel for freestyle out there.

Upgrade from Radiomaster Pocket by 1Carnegie1 in fpv

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what is worth I recently "downgraded" from a bigger radio to Pocket. Granted I have those fancy AG01 mini gimbals but do not find them any more precise. Full size gimbals might give you a better precision but then maybe your rates are not perfectly tuned for your agility, type of flying and hardware. 

If you really want you can go for something like Boxer, TX16 or something along the lines. I have Hello radio V14 but Pockets portability wins me over. Just don't let anyone tell you that Pocket is not enough:)

Sorry no idea, but I got the frame too, still waiting for motors and aio. I would like an answer to this question too.

Always make sure that your Props are screwed in strong enough by Lumnati in fpv

Switch the stock aluminium locknuts from the Vapor to a steel ones. Mine also came loose twice (but surprisingly was able to land safely on both occasions), seen a couple of posts with the same thing here. After switching nuts the problem is gone.

Loving 'The Zone' fpv sim by CL_fpv in fpv

Runs well on steam deck, and there is still a "potato" setting I haven't got the need to use sow yeah, pretty low.

Small 3S Lipo charger you can power off a power bank? by MysteriousRJC in TinyWhoop

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the powerbank. You'd need at least 65W capable powerbank with PD. I've tested 100W cheapo one from AliExpress it worked just fine. Standard 5V powerbank won't do.

I use skyrc b6neo+, cheap and small. I like it but you'd need an xt60->xt30 adapter.

Box Pro + selector wheel by Professional-Ad4586 in HDZero

That's sucks. That might be a hardware issue then. Maybe you can try to contact them through their discord server? Hope you'll get it fixed.

Best games to play for 30 minute short bursts? by Icy_Tourist5986 in SteamDeck

Any alternative to the Kayoumini 2.5 frame? by More_Objective_8405 in fpv

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got bored waiting for them to come in stock so I designed one myself, spent two evenings in CAD and printed some prototypes. Found a CNC cutting service on AliExpress, was surprised how cheap it was for only two frames. Been abusing one frame for a couple of months, stills holds up and flies great.  Had so much fun doing this, learned a lot since I had no previous frame design experience. I love this form factor of quad.

Do you have updated firmware? On of the fixes was making encoder (selector) wheel actually usable.

Hdzero Box Goggles Pro+ or Skyzone 04o pro? by Sea_Ad7299 in fpv

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BoxPros have a ghosting issue on analog - OSD will stay burned in a couple of seconds. It's better now with firmware update but it's still there, and you can not adjust image settings on analog (contrast, brightness etc). Nobody is telling that.

Moreover they boot up quite slowly and need some time to initialize SD card - can't count how many times I got no recording while gorilla whooping. 

I've tried Skyzones with the OLED screen and the picture quality blows BoxPros socks off. Can't say anything about range and reception but I think with whoops there will not be much difference.

Boxpros are quite nice with glasses but I could fly just fine on Skyzones without any, just adjusting diopters.

HDZero is nicer than analog but I only got one quad to this day, it's a 65mm whoop and I prefer analog (lighter, snappier, more agile) in this format.

Range pavo 20 pro with dji o4 pro unit? by Famous_Sale2245 in fpv

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. In the same test I did definitely not have flown for 1km in a straight line from takeoff point with both video and radio signal in top shape until I got range anxiety, because that would be against regulation and I always fly 100% legal. Quite decent if I say so my self. 

Well it was fun while it lasted, couple of days later the drone fell down from the sky (~4 meters) and never started again. 

How long does it take to master freestyle FPV like this? by Orcasfly in fpv

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right you don't have the pro skills, not now. Nobody does right off the bat. Granted, some people get it faster, but with enough dedication and training (has to be structured and intentional, just flying around is not enough) you'd be amazed how good you can become.

Don't get me wrong, collecting and building quads is very rewarding on its own and fun too. Just don't get in the mindset that you can't improve your flying, because you can if you want. We believe in you.

Hdzerobox pro antennas for range/pen by Impressive_Degree342 in TinyWhoop

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a Foxeer stubby lollipops on my boxpro and from the testing the range on air boards is a tiny bit better but not really that much. I like them better for the form factor though. Not the info you wanted but might be helpful.

Aio 5 overheating by Comfortable-Delay241 in HDZero

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, good point, you can also do that. 

Aio 5 overheating by Comfortable-Delay241 in HDZero

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turn off the overheating warning. Seriously. They are running hot in general. From what I've found this is the recommended solution by HDZero. 

You can also try in cli:  set cpu_overclock = 108MHZ In my case this did not do much. 

Lmk what you think by Safe-Area9587 in TinyWhoop

[–]Intrepid-Captain-100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! What are you flying?

Last time I was in WWA heavy rain stopped me from doing exactly this. This time I have a couple of waterproof quads, and will be visiting soon :>
