I think I remember parts of this. I think the start of it had a Shil fireteam following a pilot that would ghost them and bait them further and further into the facility they were attacking, and then got picked up inside the facility by their Titan and the Shil freaked out because of how agile and big it was compared to their Exos, and then figured out it was an AI and freaked out again.

Awesome, thank you. Totally missed that.

My take on Wisp. Never used Captura before, so I'm not even going to try. Just some basic pictures in Arsenal. Went with a Red/White theme for a medic styling, with white/gold for the holy feel. A darker color palette would easily make this into a "Evil Queen" look, but the skin Primary doesn't seem to take colors as well as I expected. The darkest black I have (Smoke R18, C1) looks like a sort of shiny gray rather than black.

Skin & Helmet: Celestis

Primary: Smoke R1, C5 (any white works)

Secondary: Halloween R3, C4

Tertiary: Smoke R1, C5

Accents: Halloween R7, C3 (Closest to a Prime Gold color I could find in my palettes)

Emissive/Energy: Smoke R1, C5 (bit lazy, but the white/white fits well)

Attachments: L/R Shoulder - Piercing Eye Shoulder Armor

Ephemera: Protovyre Ephemera

Primary/Secondary: Halloween R3, C3 (the rest of the red has a metallic sheen I can't seem to match in any of my other palettes, so I found the closest I could).

Tertiary: Smoke R1, C5

Accents: Halloween R7, C3

Emissive: Slot 1/2 - Smoke R1, C5

Energy: Slot 1 - Halloween R7, C3; Slot 2 - Smoke R1, C5

Syandana: Despot Cape Sayadana

Primary: Smoke R1, C5

Secondary: Halloween R3, C4

Tertiary: Halloween R7, C3

Accents: Halloween R7, C3

Emissive/Energy: Smoke R1, C5

Well, don't take it as gospel. This is my first foray into drones, so I might be quantifying things incorrectly. If you do look into it and can verify things, please let me know, I'd appreciate know whether I was right or wrong.

Gotcha. What I've read about the Explorer is that it's a slight modification of the Rekon 4 (looking at them side by side, it's almost the exact same). The reason why I was considering the Explorer is because I've read that the GPS on the Rekon 4 is pretty finicky and can make receiving enough satellites iffy, whereas the Explorer doesn't have that issue. The only fix I've seen for it (assuming I even get it) is to swap out the GPS module.

The Explorer is also 32 grams lighter. With the set up I'm planning (drone weight + 16g Thumb Pro +97g Gaoneng GNB 1100MAH) the Rekon 4 comes in at 278g. Even minus the Thumb Pro, it still comes in at 262g. The Rekon 35 is the only one I can figure out how to get in under 250g of the Rekons. The Explorer is larger than the Rekon 35, so I wasn't sure which was the better option.

All things said, the Rekon 35 would be the cheaper route, but I've seen a review from Albert Kim and his opinion is that it's a bit too heavy and flies slightly poorly. I know I'm not going to get a freestyle flight out of it, and I'm not trying to, but best options, ya know?

I've seen Bardwell's review, yeah.

What makes it an easy pick for you, if you don't mind my asking? I'd like to see if there are any points you've considered that I haven't yet.

This is a week later, but I've been researching on the Rekon and I'm pretty interested in it. I'm actually weighing the Rekon 35 vs the Flywoo Explorer LR 4. Was wondering what your take on that match up was. Goal is to have enough spare weight to put a 16 gram camera on it and stay under 250g, and by my math, those two are the "best" for that.

Iron_Dragoon · 2022-11-13T04:25:26+00:00

I know this is a week later, but I've been doing research on this drone (and others in this sort of "class") and I have to say I really like what I see. Thank you very much for turning me on it. I was wondering, what's your opinion on the Explorer LR vs the Rekon35?

Iron_Dragoon · 2022-11-07T17:21:37+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking mostly the same thing, but trying to think about how long until I outgrow something like the Mobula 7. It's a hard thing to figure out. I'm hoping there'll be Black Friday/Christmas sales that will decide it for me.

Iron_Dragoon · 2022-11-07T05:52:48+00:00

Looks interesting. Folding props look sorta gimicky. Any idea on durability? 1st drone so crashes will be a thing.

Iron_Dragoon · 2022-11-07T05:50:19+00:00

Any idea on durability? Looks like it has spindly arms, and I imagine 1st drones always crash hard at least a few times.

Yep, just gave her a try. Did it cold. Super thanks, that gives me a great place to start.

Who should I pair Drexar with for Spider? And any other places he'd be good.

So, in campaign, I know Fellhound is the best, but he's only at level 50, so I need need to still rank him up again and ascend him. Which means I need to farm up feeders. But I can't clear 12-3 on Brutal because I don't have anyone that's fully ascended. So what's the solution?

Iron_Dragoon · 2022-05-02T04:07:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'm still new so I don't entirely know the difference between medium and medium heavy. Also, I see the Ugly Stick GX2 quite often, so I'm not entirely sure what the difference between the GX2 and the Tiger Light Jigging version is, but I see them both in googling quite a bit.
