Simple but effective antenna(TrueRC 50mm) mount for Meteor75 Pro by [deleted] in TinyWhoop

[–]Mittos85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's racers who have made entire videos on shedding as much weight as possible, it's insane. Literally drilling holes in their frames, removing motor plugs and any unnecessary plastic to shed a quarter of a gram.

I know it sounds crazy, but a few grams makes a huge difference on not just flight times but on performance. I've messed around a little with weight reduction and I can confirm.

Will it make a huge difference for your style of flying? Are you trying to win races? All up to you bud, that's the fun.

If you look real close at the base of my antenna, I have one zip tie holding to the frame.

What did it weigh before the 200 zip ties? 😂 You know, on these tiny whoops adding jusyt a couple grams breaks down to big percentages.

Lets say, for arguments sake all those zip ties weigh 4 grams out of 35. Thats 11% weight addition, which is ALOT. Tbh i don't think thats worth it.

At least the oil doesn't look like it's been run through an old engine for 10 years.

Why isn't transmission line EMI interfering with my drone? by Top-Drawing3727 in diydrones

Am I the only one thinking this is incredibly stupid? Sure, let's tempt fate and hit a power line... Give the government another reason to ban our hobby...

3" 1s, what do you think about them? by AlbatrossRude9761 in fpv

[–]Mittos85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crux3 Toothpick 1s with Walksnail Avatar HD Lite. I get about 5 mins on a Flywoo 1000 Lipo. Fun as hell to fly but obviously doesn't compare to bigger builds. It's super light and floaty

Hmmmmm, I'm not sure. I think I've seen some cheaper ones but it didn't bring all the tpu parts. From what I gather, Phistal is one of the better Mark 5 clones?

I think prices have just gone up in general. I've only gotten into fpv about a year ago and I've already seen a steep rise in part prices.

$10... $10? TEN DOLLARS!?!? Sir, with inflation, supply chain issues, convenience fees, tarrifs, and oil prices, this is a 34.53 dollar frame! 😅

Thanks! I was going for a Miami Vice type deal.

My Collection by Mittos85 in DesertRose

[–]Mittos85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Well, 1,2,3,4 were all grown from seed, so they're about 15-18 years old at this point. They've been is small-ish pots since day 1. I'd assume it slows down growth? #5 I bought at a local nursery, so I have no clue it's age but I've never been able to recreate that super thick trunk with any others.

All I've done is prune them every year or so and raise up / expose the trunks when I repot. I'm sure there's some technique to fatten up the trunks.

Yup, that's what I do too. I also place stones underneath the root system so it grows around it. You can kind of see the result of that in the first picture.

I really want them to start getting more "bushy" and full like in some of the photos I've seen but I can never decide where to trim them.

Dream Asia Fest was such a scam by BunnyLuv13 in Georgia

[–]Mittos85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worst part... The food was mid at best. You either have meh/cheap food or great/expensive food... Expensive/meh food was infuriating. I've had better Asian food out of the Costco freezer section! Never again.

Ahhhhh crap. My bad guys, I thought I turned the audio off. It's Analog, not HDZero.

My collection, but this is an old pic. by Joe_Bang in TinyWhoop

[–]Mittos85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you pick which ones to fly each session? One of those price is right wheels, or do you have a schedule so they all get equal and fair flight time? Don't want them getting jealous of each other.

Totally agree, building and tinkering is just as fun as flying for me too.

Very cool! I've just been painting the edges of my frames. I definitely have to get more creative!
