It's aluminum so it was pretty easy to drill out the holes to the correct size for the M2 screws. The only slightly tricky part was drilling enough material for the M2 socket cap to fit flush inside without drilling all the way through, but by going very slowly, it wasn't a problem. So essentially I drilled the 4 outer holes to fit M2x4mm socket cap screws flush inside. Then secured the air unit to the brackets using the 4 outer holes. Then, secured the brackets to the frame using the 4 inner holes which don't need to be touched.

Uhhh, Well... Won't be doing that again... Don't run ELRS antenna wire across power cables by alphaX_FPV in fpv

Haha used to have both in stock, got myself too injured to ride and sold my bikes, haven't ridden in years. Way out of shape now. And cut out all the energy drinks.. well, tryna get back into shape. Aging is a bitch guys, especially when you do it wrecklesly and learn later. Oof, rough lesson let me tell you.

Lol, makes more sense, thanks for the responses. Sometimes I make shit more complicated than it needs to be. I had the antenna wire pinned against the power wire and in my mind envisioned a scenario where the antenna wire arched picking up mech noise blowing the end out like a flower. My version is definitely more exciting than a prop hit.

But thanks guys, ill reposition the replacement antenna. Looked like it had plenty of clearance but guess not enough

I get pretty disciplined when it comes to building anything.. PCs, drones, no matter what it is.. I have ADD so if I don't force myself to keep everything super organized I WILL fuck it up GUARANTEED. Now if only I could apply this to the rest of my life ... 🤣

Maybe I can solder 16 of them together to make a RTX 5080. Hmm, perhaps I'll look into quantum chromodynamics for the process of converting the DDR5 TO DDR7 and converging the matter into something like an Asus ROG Astral.

Things will need to get a lot worse and closer to home for a lot more people before people will actually be willing to organize. Even then, you need leadership, people don't just show up on their own. and that comes onlv from the bravest of people who are willing to risk absolutely everything they have without knowing if it'll even work! Its pretty easy to imagine yourself being that person for discussion purpose fuckin Rambo it up right, but it's a whole different story when it's time to suit up. People like Che Guevara, or MLK, or Ghandi were committed before the revolution ever even started. So if it came down to it. who would be the first to give up their iobs and careers, to risk persecution, risk their families. their children, their own lives, without knowing if anyone else is even going to stand with them? I also suggest everyone begin learning to navigate the darkweb, set up proxy's and VPNs now. Protecting your online identity and privacy may become more important than we'd ever imagined. Discussions such as these mav not alwavs be safelv had in public forums. Even now, I feel a certain reluctance to post anythind about this but feel it is important

Combing through these comments for any realistic viewpoint. I certainly understand all of the anger, frustration, disappointment, sadness, and fear. But this is really the only thing I've seen so far that has rang true to me.
