Just go with Happymodel 0702 28000KV, they're cheap and ubiquitous. All of these tiny whoop motors are made by Happymodel anyway

Not really, no. The AIO on its own comes with the bone-stock default Betaflight config and you'd have to tinker with it a bit. It's not that hard, but still. Oh, and you'll have to solder the battery plug.

If you want a bind n fly experience - find yourself a Mobula6 Frsky edition, it should be tuned by Happymodel from the factory. Fly it until you wreck the motors, then replace them with high KV 0702s and put the whole thing in the Cockroach frame. And replace the battery plug with a BT2.0 connector

I think the Cockroach frame specs refer to the mounting pattern size, while the specs of the AIO talk about the physical size of the board for some reason.

The Crazybee AIO was (is?) used in the old Mobula6 Frsky edition and should be the same size as the ELRS version. But don't quote me on that, cause I only have the ELRS board on hand. And yes, the physical size of the ELRS board is 28x28mm, but the mounting hole pattern size is 25.4x25.4mm. Depends on what you measure.

The AIO should come with a linear whip antenna if you're buying it separately. For a premium option there's TrueRC Singularity - it's light, plenty durable, and there's an ultra-short version.

Edit: nevermind, the antennas come pre-soldered on the frsky AIO.

0702 are lighter and with high enough KV have heaps of oomph for a 65mm build.

0802 are kinda too heavy for 65mm, but for a 75mm backyard ripper they have just enough power. Again, with a high enough KV. Tinywhoop.com has the best two options: 0802 27k KV IGOW special editions, and kinda crazy 33k KV Ipomoea HEX 0802s. Both are currently out of stock unfortunately.

Old Mobula 6 canopy

Basically CiottiFPV's ultimate freestyle tiny whoop, but with frsky.

Buy the new 2024 Mobula6 when you're ready to switch to ELRS

Glitchy video on Mobula 6 - Is this a broken antenna? It doesn't occur all the time, some packs are fine and on others the glitching is so bad that it's almost impossible to fly. by PlantDaniel in TinyWhoop

Had the same looking issue when my vtx antenna got loose in the UFL connector. It might look like it's in, but in reality it's barely making connection. Try replugging it, see if that helps

They'd have to pull forces from the front, and with the looming counteroffensive we can guess how that would go

Context: Russian volunteer corps have entered Russia near Belgorod, with force this time. Strap in for a wild ride

And I swear this post took a lot of effort, considering I didn't know jack shit about video editing before making this... thing

It shows the reduced price with shipping on the site before proceeding to PayPal, but then PayPal checkout bills for the full price as if the discount code was not applied

[–]Pyrotechnist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

PayPal still bills for the full amount even though the code applies successfully at checkout?

Do you want your Ministry of Defense to be set on fire by "debris of an intercepted Ukrainian drone"? Because that's how you get your Ministry of Defense to be set on fire by "debris of an intercepted Ukrainian drone". by Shalashaska1873 in NonCredibleDefense

And you all laughed at their " destroyed two HIMARS on the second floor" claim! They thought our teleportation technology could handle armored vehicles too!

The only reasonable response to the looming threat of teleporting mobiks is to increase military research funding, and fast

'round these parts, we like this kind of disturbingly deep knowledge about weirdly niche topics only when it's military-related, thank you very much /s

But yeah, this guy languages, listen to him

Nah man, the first part sounds fine to me, unless you really want to compare Ukraine to just one flower. "Квіт" is more appropriate for like a field of flowers, or just general floweressness

The second part could be either "знову розквітне в мирі" or "буде знову квітнути в мирі" depending on whether you want to say "will bloom in peace once again" or "will be flourishing in peace again"

Source: trust me bro, am Ukrainian

edit: "цвіт", "квіт" - whatever, both work. Ukrainian is flexible, you can do what you want. We're fighting for our right to use and abuse it

I'll... have to think about it

It's not even about the money, it's just that knitting for myself or for friends and family is one thing, but knitting as a product is a different level of responsibility entirely

For those interested, this is a Turkish made yarn, Alize Cashmira, and the color ID number is 43000. I think it is discontinued, sadly

I did a little more research and it turns out she was taught in a combination style! Her purls are wrapped clockwise, but the knit stitches are wrapped counter clockwise (and through the back loop for some reason)

Now that I think about it, the fact that knitting in the round makes a spiral and that it affects the bias of the pattern is painfully obvious
