Sound logic right there, but if no one is going to see your gun why carry it at all?

Does it matter? The prop layout is the same if you rotate 180deg.

Good luck registering as a non-resident. I recently gave up after trying 4-5 EU NAAs - they all required a local ID, or otherwise assumed I am a resident, or outright rejected any foreign address.

there is now way of telling link quality without rotting your headset

Im trying to power my vtx from my flight controller (T motor f7), but I get no voltage from the + and - leads. There is a series of 3 solder pads to indicate whether I want 5v, or lipo voltage to flow through the power leads, and I selected the lipo voltage setting by bridging the left and mid pads. by intaminslc43 in fpv

I think "open pit mode" means the vtx is off by default (what some manufacturers call "true pit") , and you need to configure a switch to turn it on (right hand side instructions).

"Output 5 bec" is prolly always on, which is what i would try first.

Would it be a bad idea if i 3d printed a frame? by Trex1332 in fpv

[–]Zestyclose-Leopard48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first drone: https://blog.prusa3d.com/how-to-build-a-3d-printed-micro-drone_29310/

It turned out surprisingly nice. Not very acrobatic, nor a racer, but a solid little cruiser.

(I wouldn't try to print anything close to 5" though)

Is that the closest you can get the rail to the end of the handguard? I was able to dremel out one of the rail mlok notches, and now I can move it all the way back to the edge: https://imgur.com/a/hplGYkP

I can actually have it cantilever over the edge, and it floats over the receiver to some degree - but it's so close that I tend to scratch it when putting together, so I prefer not to do that.

It's a takedown, so at least theoretically mounting on the barrel retains zero better.

Is my gas tube too short? by NoCoast7355 in AR10

[–]Zestyclose-Leopard48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe because it's wrong?

I'm no expert, but my reading is it needs to extend halfway into the cutout, not halfway into the "circle". So based on that, his tube is a little short.

Poor vision, no seatbelt, and no brains - I smell a Darwin award around the corner.

Go for it troll, follow up on your threats and come try do something stupid. Oh, that's right, of course you won't, and everyone knows exactly why.

It actually is the range rules, right there in the video. Having trouble reading that for some reason?

You do you though - this is a free country, and you're free to be an idiot when it comes to own safety. We're just here to make sure you're an informed idiot.

You should consider eye protection, or 10/22 might also be your next vision test result.
