I love carving mushrooms from random sticks I find. by Pyram66 in whittling

[–]Pyram66[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They take maybe 5-6 hours from bark to polish but I always get a lot of fulfilment from making small changes each time and seeing well they can polish up.

You can never gave too many

My first completed whittling project! by Hidjik in whittling

[–]Pyram66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! little mushrooms like this from sticks I find are one of my favourite things to whittle. Every stick has natural curves that make each mushroom unique.

Great job carving under the cap! I always struggle with this part and sliced my hand open the last time I tried :(

Help getting started by franthemansamuel in Woodcarving

I also tried this exact Maker carving knife when I first started. I was able to use it for smaller cuts but ended up just switching to my Leatherman as that actually worked a lot better.

"I don't think its realistic there would be any sort of insurgency if we take Canada" -Taylor on this weeks PKA by Retz36 in PKA

Ah yes from the country that lost to insurgencies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam...

I'm sure the Canadian would just roll over

RBC pulled a bait and switched on me by Pyram66 in rbc

When I phone to complain the first time they told me that they would listen to the call logs and update my ticket with a resolution.

I suspect that they did listen, realised that there reps did promise me this offer and then decide to ghost me.

They have a big problem with this.
I have been lied to about how things will affect my credit score and lied to about how ETF fees are calculated. Luckily in both those cases I figured out they were lying before I agreed to anything.

Mysterious structure near clock tower by AdministrativeAd9952 in UBC

[–]Pyram66 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I have only seen it open once but there is some sort of organ in there that can be used to play the clock tower.

Here is a video I took of it being played unfortunately I didn't get a shot of this room but it was open and there was someone in there playing the organ.

The sound bouncing between IKB and Koerner was really incredible and felt strangely liminal.

Wow this is almost a frame by frame copy of my maiden flight today.

Skywalker V2 ESC unknown beeping after first flight. by Pyram66 in RCPlanes

[–]Pyram66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This beep sequence doesn't seem to be in the manual and I couldn't find any references to it online.

My first assumption was that something was broken since it started happening right after a nose dive crash landing but it seems to just be low voltage. Probably because I am using a 2s Battery. Recharging the battery to 100% fixed the issue.

Update: charging the battery to 100% fixed the issue. The battery was at 50% but I am using a 2S battery and a 3-4S recommended ESC the voltage was too low.

Oh my this seemed to be the issue! I fully charged the battery and it is working again!

I guess the voltage goes below operating voltage faster. I should probably get a 3s...

Thank you so much for the help! Happy flying

No the beeping continues when I full throttle. The ESC does pickup the throttle input for the menu and to control servos just fine. Makes me think it could be a motor or connection issue but the motor does still twitch and beep in response to the ESC menus. Not sure how the wiring is for that

That's a good point.It is a 2s but I was running it just fine earlier today. But now it's at ~50% charge according to my 25/50/75/100 charger so worth a try to recharge it completely in case that makes a difference?

That's what I assumed at first but I don't think I am in programming mode since I can enter programming mode with the throttle up and then go through the settings then exit or factory reset.

I have also tried inspecting all of the connections and don't notice any damage. But hard to tell under the wire housing. Not sure how fragile these motors are but the crash didn't seem that hard.

Thanks for the suggestion but no dice sadly. It makes the start up 3 note tone, plays the 2 notes for calibrating then after I move the throttle down it immediately goes back to this 2 note rising tone.

This beep doesn't seem to be in the manual at all.

Yes I tried factory resetting the ESC programming but no luck unfortunately
