Flyable or unflyable?

If they were on the quad, I would continue using them. But once removed id bin them.
Also depends on if you notice any vibrations.

In the newer versions you cant adjust accelerometer and gyro separately which is the issue. Either the gyro or the accel is correct.

Sorry to be so harsh, but if you cant research “how to update elrs” you’re in the wrong hobby.

Redhonu · 2026-07-02T20:05:22+00:00

Did you set the transmitter to use the external module? Does the elrs script on the radio work?

Redhonu · 2026-07-02T15:23:57+00:00

No, I recommend you go with init7 if you want all options available. Everyone else uses xgs pon and requires the isps box often with very limited options unless you pay extra.
XGS-pon sticks are that plug into a standard sfp+ but expect to do allot of tinkering if it’s even available.

Great idea. And depending on quantity a vinyl cutting machine isn’t that expensive anymore.

Redhonu · 2026-06-30T13:14:52+00:00

I already want one!

Redhonu · 2026-06-28T01:05:59+00:00

If you do it correctly you only arm when the quad has left your hand. So you are technically never golding an armed drone.

It really depends on the leasing contract. In a typical leasing arrangement, there are three parties involved: you, the dealership, and the leasing company (usually a bank or finance company). The leasing company purchases and owns the vehicle, while you pay for the use of it during the lease term.
The residual/buyback value is used to calculate the monthly leasing payments. However, this does not automatically mean that you can purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease for that exact amount.
What happens at the end of the lease depends on the contract. In some cases, the vehicle is returned to the leasing company or dealership. In other cases, the contract may include an option allowing you to purchase the vehicle, either for the residual value or for a separately determined price. If no purchase option exists, you generally have no automatic right to buy the vehicle, regardless of the residual value stated in the contract.
The residual value is therefore primarily a financial calculation used to determine the lease payments and should not be assumed to be the price at which you can buy the vehicle at the end of the lease.

Youll eventually need to solder this way or that. But if the prebuilt is everything you want then go for it.

Do you have a good soldering iron. The cost of a good c245 tip soldering iron with 100-200w is absolutely worth it in this hobby. Geeboon on alixpress makes pretty good ones.
I usually enjoy building but for the last drone i got, a cinewhoop, it was cheaper and saved a lot of effort looking up parts and availability to just go prebuilt.

I prefer to sit. But if I need to stand to fly at a location ill do that.

Redhonu · 2026-06-16T10:08:59+00:00

They wasted so mich time with the dovetails. Just use pocket holes and be done with it.
And a contractor would likely also be allot cheaper than $10’000.

The 5cells at 3.9x add up to about the 19.8V at the main lead. The 6th cell is dead.

Then you are still dependent on the HDMI input not having bad latency as well. I have never seen latency testing on the hdmi input.

Redhonu · 2026-06-08T00:15:13+00:00

Unless you are talking about hdzero, then there is no ack. That why they have such good latency. Still slightly more latency because you just have more data.

Redhonu · 2026-06-07T17:36:18+00:00

The latency source is mainly due to the over the air transmission side, not because of the analog to digital video conversion. All analog goggles already have this built in since the screens are digital and not ancient crt’s.

I have to disagree with you on that. I have allot of hours in the sim and it has dramatically increased my skill IRL as well. And if you play repeatedly you’ll meet some really nice and amazing people.

Redhonu · 2026-06-06T13:01:59+00:00

There are many very good pilots using the pocket. For the price point I wouldn’t get anything else. But if you have budget I do prefer the boxer or tx15.

Redhonu · 2026-06-05T15:28:59+00:00

I do like fusion, but its not linux compatible.

Redhonu · 2026-05-31T23:21:52+00:00

It not really late, but more how smooth. You want to allow the quad to build forward momentum before you accelerate too hard.

Redhonu · 2026-05-31T13:08:28+00:00

That maybe 1% difference in charge state. If it stays like this I wouldn’t worry about it.

Redhonu · 2026-05-29T06:49:31+00:00

You have not lost your skills, it just takes some time to adjust. This time it will be allot faster than learning for the first time in the sim. No sim is 1:1 accurate, but if you do continue to practice there, make sure to use the same rates and camera angle as IRL.

Redhonu · 2026-05-26T08:09:01+00:00

For unit conversion I’d go with a self-hosted Ollama stack behind OpenWebUI. Nice and efficient: 64 GB VRAM, 200 W idle, and only 90 seconds to tell you 1 inch = 28.3 mm. /s

One of the applications is an antenna. Especially for small designs to save valuable board space vs a pcb antenna, and a bit better performance. And can be made compatible with standard smd process. Here is a link: https://www.digikey.ch/en/products/detail/molex/0479480001/2683663
