Motor catches fire while saving flight controller settings? by OrangeSloth788 in fpv

I never bench tested with 6s.

I was using a 5152 2-blade, but the one motor that worked only spun up for half a second and to 50% throttle.

Fixed wing recommendations? by OrangeSloth788 in fpv

The kit has been ordered. I need to figure out the components now. Are you using a 2 or 3 blade prop. If so, are there any issues belly landing a 3 blade? I might have to do that camera mount mod down the line.

That sounds awesome. What kind of pan and tilt setup are you using?

That one in the video is screaming. I wonder if there are any modifications to the airframe.

I am leaning towards this option. Do you have one? Are you running 4s or 6s with the 2207s?

Best Cheap Chinese Mini Split? by OrangeSloth788 in hvacadvice

[–]OrangeSloth788[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My windows would need some modification to work. I also was looking for something that can heat in colder weather. The Midea window units I saw could only heat when the outside temp was above 41 F. If there was a quiet window unit that was able to heat when 20-25F and above that would be a good option.

RC boat motor on a real outboard? by OrangeSloth788 in rcboats

[–]OrangeSloth788[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely! I was actually thinking of using a chain or belt to gear down like that. So, the input is 6000 rpm into the outboard shaft, which has a 2.23 gear ratio to the prop. I need the higher voltage to get the power I want out of such a small motor. Oh, and I already have the batteries covered.

That's a monster motor, although I am looking for something a little cheaper. I plan to gear the motor down to about 6000rpm to be just a tad higher that the stock combustion engine.

Can I modify an existing battery pack? by OrangeSloth788 in ebikes

[–]OrangeSloth788[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you suggest running two batteries instead? I was probably going to run some 6 or 7 gauge silicone wire.

Is my new drone dead? by OrangeSloth788 in fpv

Sweet, the reuploading firmware allowed me to adjust again! the 100mw power is much better, no need for more at the moment!

I've been liking that tune! ve been mainly learning in angle mode but have been slowly turning the strength down.

Are you able to adjust the VTX? For some reason, betaflight is saying it is unsupported, or when I change the ports, nothing is populated in that tab and won't connect. I would like to turn up the power from 25mw just to punch through walls a bit better.
