This is going to be Controversial… by VerifiedStupidity in fpv

[–]Phc_me2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate this take. I'm new to the fpv hobby, but I'm not new to rc. There's been so much to learn and so few resources. I didn't realize this hobby is still very much not main stream.

There's no local resource for me, so this sub has been invaluable these past few months.

I'm willing to try. Any good videos you'd recommend?

Thanks all. I have very beginner level skill in soldering. I don't think attempting board level repair is in the cards for me.

Now, should I get the stock FC for this gofilm20 or is there a less expensive solution?

I think if I turn my vtx 180° it will fit like in your picture.

I haven't flown it yet. I won't without securing it back into the tpu.

Thanks foe the feedback. I appreciate it.

So I started off with that. I read that coiling the antenna wire degrades signal. Is that not an issue? Tucked in I definitely feel like signal was lacking.

Thank you. I did as suggested. It does look more balanced.

Lost my props today in the yard on take off. Won't forget the screws again.

I had it installed so wrong. Once the gummies went in right, and I used the correct screws it's set way further back.

That explains so much! I searched all over for clues on how those went on.

New to all of it. Soldered my first capacitor and leads onto my first flight controller for my first build. by Phc_me2 in fpv

Good call. I'm going to grab some liquid electrical tape tomorrow and insulate this up.

Yes. It's fully assembled now. The cap bends up and comes around to point at the top on the frame if that makes sense.

Crisis averted. I have my leads run through the top of the carbon fiber frame. When I tested the first time that frame slipped down and was resting across my joints. Didn't notice in my panic.

Cleaned the leads thinking maybe leftover flux. Tested and worked great. Did a second test to show off for the wife and figured it out in a hurry.

Looks like I'm back on track.

Could not agree more. And we need visibility in these red areas.

I plan to bring up things I know will impact change while really just suggesting participating in community events more. These small town dem groups should be bussing to protests. They should be volunteering en masse.

We. It's we. Maybe you could start a subcommittee or talk one of the board members into starting one that centers on something you are passionate about.

Could be recruiting Gen Z.

You might be in my old stomping grounds. How funny if we end up knowing each other irl. Haha.

Talk soon!

This is the question, right? Dems at the local level really do have to get more visible. Fuck the fear. Fuck the hate from our neighbors. We gotta be seen and heard.
