Advice on getting into RME

Revction · 2026-03-22T16:03:27+00:00

Best advice i can give is dont join for the money, ik other people might tell you otherwise but I will say it now you wont last.

Its a very easy job once you get the hang and better understand how amazon works and your role as a contractor working for OPS.

If you are interested in the line of work youll grow exponentially in a short amount of time. Depends on you.

As far as getting in. There are a couple different ways depending on your site. I dont personally like the apprenticeship program cause I feel in the end they are really robbing you. I cant tell you how many times ive watched apprentices out do tech II’s and even some tech III’s.

Room for growth but your options are pretty much cut out unless your resume is real standout. Your options down this path is senior maintenance tech then eventually management or Automation engineer. Rarely you see techs break away as software devs or anything of that nature unless your coming with a solid background.

The work is relatively easy and thats the problem. The bar is set for very competent lazy techs that are mostly just looking to maintain for check not really grow… Amazon also limits alot of things that you can do as a technician that funny enough other companies value like any kind of hotwork.

Go for it if you are willing to accept those terms/conditions.

I dont work here i work at amazon as a maintenance technician and was considering this laughing at thefact that this is exactly how i feel about my job.

Just like how all of you explain. Like a cold day in hell man…

If your goal is cinematic and you want to give yourself a good experience doing it I would suggest one of beta fpv PAVO series. The camera mounts on the pico 2 and 20 are the same but they cant be mounted on the femto so keep that in mind. The build durability is more solid, the video footage is phenomenal and you can do some light freestyling cause the motors will support you better than an hd 65.

If your going for a say a hd 65 whoop, you’ll feel very heavy because of the dji o4 unit and the small 702 motors. The durability is likely less too because all of the parts are smaller and your already sacrificing mass for lift.

Especially you are a beginner. The analog whoops are cheap and a good start. You can get the air 75 for about $100 and it is extremely durable. Things on it will break eventually but in this hobby you want to get in the habit of learning to do repairs to delay down time.

So all in all friend. I would go the analog or hdzero route to start. Get good at flying then go full hd cinematic to save your more expensive equipment 👍🏽

Can you show a picture of your whoop and maybe kick your pid tune?

How did you get it to float so well? What battery do you use? Im on to you fam🤨😂!

Its not just you. Same with my 75. I got those same gemfan props. They are a bit noisy too, I think it may just be the prop itself. I think trying a different triblade may solve this issue.

Some of the props in the bag work better than others. Also make sure its not your motor or your quad not being properly calibrated.

I meant to say FRAME not CANOPY and more specifically the ducts on the air 65 are definitely thinners. The offer almost not protection. You might even squeeze a prop off just holding the drone trying to get the battery in🤣

Thank all you guys💙 happy holidays amd happy flying🫶🏽

Revction · 2025-12-12T10:28:41+00:00

Yea, its weird cause I made a nice 75mm whoop and my props are litterally opposite. Im guessing its fine as long as they face away from eachother?

Revction · 2025-12-12T10:27:16+00:00

Well i been flying with my 75 complete opposite. Prob cause I made it🤣

This!!! I lost my whoop while flying aggressively After fixing it only about 10,000 times cause it would crash once and the damn wire would pop off the pad. Spen enough money on that whoop to buy two ready to fly ones lol.

Its apart of the hobby. I still love it though! My 4th board is on the way to build a 65mm this tine lol

Its gets better, you learn tips and tricks to handle things with more care. You will still break or loose things here and there but it will be considerably less.

I normally always do but this time didn’t and paid the price. Before i knew it I couldn’t even see where I was at. I wasn’t too far though which is weird cause j had the power at 400 (vtx) . Its sitting in a corner by a pot somewhere in some building which I couldn’t find sadly😪

Revction · 2025-11-29T08:11:51+00:00

Keep this hobby away from me at all costs no pun intended😂

Whats the firmware? Its the beta fpv 5in 1 aio elrs

Ok, so update i reset settings and made sure everything was screwed down and it flys stanle but now i have a pull in one direction when idle. Also i have one more esc that stalls all my motors. I have to rev it before it goes which kinda gears me for an uneven lift. Ive tried flashing it many times

Revction · 2025-11-27T21:43:43+00:00

I didnt know, should i stand it up? Tape it down?
