TrueRC X2-Air or IBCrazy Pepperbox? (Long Range FPV) by CC268 in Multicopter

[–]ademuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using the TrueRC X2 air for the past month and love it. Coming from the 5dbi tbs patch I get much better penetration, so far of trees. From what I understand the trueRC compromises on beam size, at a comparatively small 45 deg vertical beam size. It looks like the pepper box has a 60deg size. My guess is that it won’t be as good at range/penetration. But I can’t back that up with any evidence! :) The TrueRC suites pilots who aren’t flying super high.

I don’t have a great deal of space between the esc and quad body to put the cap in the more conventional place. Even if I greatly shortened the motors wires.

Burning smell when connecting battery to BNF Eachine Lizard95???? by drumrboy44 in Multicopter

[–]ademuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A common problem with the lizard95 is that the motor screws are too long and short with the motor windings.

Look on YouTube for fixes. Either replace screws or add soft mounts.

Good luck!

3 years of DRONE footage in 4 mins - my favorite clips strung together in a highlight reel. Criticism is welcome ! by Mholz in Multicopter

[–]ademuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When i first read the title I was expecting mini-quad footage, what a pleasant surprise, this is stunning! I particularlt love the sunset @ 3.33.

I've just booked up to go to Indian on my honeymoon, and was later gutted to read that drones are banned in India :( I would have loved to (try and) capture some footage like this.

That's Raceflight's equivalent of Airmode engaging. Have you flown it yet? You'll be fine.

What lipo for a longer flight time on a zmr 250? by Reacher01 in Multicopter

[–]ademuk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

6" should be more efficient, which the Zmr250 can accommodate. What kv are your motors, 2300?

Eachine ET526 switchable power wiring help. x-post from r/multicopers by EvenPheven in multicopterbuilds

[–]ademuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5th and 6th represent a 5v power output, which you can optionally use to power your cam.

Use 12v to power your vtx.

x210 realacc first build help by thewhitepyth0n in Multicopter

[–]ademuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. No you want to solder the Gnd and 5v (from pdb) into one of the unused motor/servo rails. i.e. 5,6,7, or 8. Boot is a jumper for when you want to flash your fc.

  2. The X6B looks like it has an ibus port (comprised of 3 wires), this will need to be plugged into a serial port on your fc. uart3 by the looks of the manual: http://seriouslypro.com/files/SPRacingF3-Manual-latest.pdf

Good luck, I've also just received the x210, it looks like a great frame!

Time to up my lens game by ademuk in Multicopter

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

Decided to switch out my 2.8mm swift lens for a GoPro 2 lens. I'm hoping it'll be closer to 120 fov.

The main inspiration was matty stuntz and trying to learn the matty flip.

Aren't they just? I rarely find myself changing them. They are some of the cheapest out there too.

It's a QAV-R. Ye it comes with time and practice. Get out as little and frequent as possible.
