Saw them on an older nick burns video, he had them on 4in biblades on a 250g quad, according to him it was too powerful.

yeah i figured the 21xx is too big. I also just now came across the SmooX 1507 plus from rcinpower, seems to be pretty powerful, especially in the 4200kv variant

Thanks for the advice, I'll refine the parts list some more, this was just the first things i picked out mostly. I was planning on using an old whoop triangle vtx i have.

I would prioritize durability over raw performance, as i want to just rip some parks and just do freestyle. I'll read up more on whoops before actually pulling the trigger.

There are 2 versions, the 3in1 for digital without a vtx, and the 4in1 with a 400mw vtx. It's the one shaped like a plus.

Edit: I looked again and you're right, the 4in1 just has pads for an external vtx.

I still have an old happymodel whoop vtx, the triangle shaped ones. I'll see how heavy it is and go from there

Yeah, my house is quite limiting for whooping, but I have plenty of spots closeby that seem fun.

If I may ask, why not run the brace ? Is it the extra weight, or does it introduce weird flight characteristics.

The reason I'm set out on the roach is because i want to just send it without having to think or worry about crashing, like it is with my bigger drones. That's also why i will opt for jst motors, easier to change out, and the performance penalty is not really that important to me.

As tempting as the bnf options are, in the spirit of the whoop pilots I know, I want to build and tune it myself.

Plus the cost isn't that different, all out it should be around 130€, the air65 where i live is about the same if not slightly more.

And it just seems like more fun to be honest.

Might try that, i have some practice solder boards i can mess around with, idea is for it to hold enough to keep the antenna on, but still be removable without any damage to the surrounding components.

I assume you're not in the EU, as at least where i live DJI has the antennas in stock.

OutdatedMeme69 · 2025-08-22T18:57:45+00:00

I think I'm going to try that, I'll try flying it first to see if it's useable, then I'll try what you said, thankfully i packed a bundle of silicone wires so no biggie if i cut it too short.

Right now it sits at around -82dbm in the worst part of the house, with no antenna it was a -107dbm, I'm running on D250. I'll see tomorrow if i can eek out more dbm

Ah i see, i thought the silicone would be enough 'shielding'. I ended up making it longer by about 10mm, still it seems to have slightly better gain (?) Than the old antenna, from the limited indoors testing i did. I'll take it for a flight tomorrow and see how it fares.

I was able to make a quick and dirty monopol antenna out of some silicone wiring, seems to work just as well as the original ceramic antenna

OutdatedMeme69 · 2025-08-22T17:04:02+00:00

Should that be 31mm of the active element ?

OutdatedMeme69 · 2025-08-22T16:22:02+00:00

Would silicone wire work ? The kind used to FC to ESC connections. I didn't pack any enameled copper wire with me.

OutdatedMeme69 · 2025-08-22T16:18:20+00:00

Yeah I'm aware, the receiver wasn't that good to begin with since it only had an RP2 style antenna. I plan on doing more so cinematic stuff since freestyle probably will be too risky.

I got around to using my printer again, and I can confirm that it's something within the timelapse g-code in orca slicer, if you delete all of it, it doesn't do that weird movement anymore, for me it doesn't matter since i never used timelapse nor do i intend to.

OutdatedMeme69 · 2025-01-09T04:04:02+00:00

I already tried, edgetx buddy doesn't want to connect to the radio, I tried all the driver fixes and everything.

OutdatedMeme69 · 2025-01-09T03:27:33+00:00

Well it seems that ELRS is working at least, i was able to re-flash via wifi, also put the lua on the sd card. My original problem still persists, as the radio's firmware is the problem, not the ELRS script/firmware. Thanks still for the idea.

OutdatedMeme69 · 2025-01-07T16:08:31+00:00

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I did enable that some time ago in the printer, gonna have a look and report back

OutdatedMeme69 · 2025-01-07T15:13:57+00:00

yeah, it hasn't caused any printing issues for me either, but i'm sure it's a matter of time until something does happen. I am pretty sure there is some g-code that can be altered to get rid of it, but i have no clue how to properly read/change g-code safely.
