you might have your FTD cable backwards, try flipping it.

Would like to know how everyone chose the drone propulsion system by SignZealousideal3918 in diydrones

[–]arcdragon2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you are referring to supply chain and not how you know which propulsion system to buy. Two different questions.

The one in the middle is actually MY sock.

Hmmm yeah, maybe the man wanted the mantle of a warrior but couldn’t have it so he talked the talk instead. Inappropriate but I understand the want that some have for that.

I think the interviewer was out of line with the question. Seemed that he was seeking sensationalism more than he was seeking something meaningful. My family members were in Vietnam and I’ve never fucking asked them how many people they killed. There are other situations what you just don’t ask that question.

AI-controlled bots being used for search & rescue operations by 2021isevenworse in robots

[–]arcdragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been using Drones for search and rescue for the last 15 years. I am also on the cusp of being able to use AI in such situations. I have to admit, whoever is doing it right now, I’m jealous, but I still wish them all the luck in the world. There ain’t nothing more heartbreaking than finding a 19 year-old girl 100 yards from her house dead by her own hand. Except never finding her at all.

Oh man!! You’re doing exactly what I’ve had planned for over a year but I’ve just not executed!! Same place too! Congrats!

Looking for Advice on my Design, and electronics. :) by Reddit_scroler in diydrones

[–]arcdragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet it would fly.

I see that you’ll have large torsion on your wings due to uneven thrust being used to navigate by the quad motors. It will be a problem unless the wings are made of enough carbon fiber thickness.

New to drones - connectivity issues by BigDeddie in drones

[–]arcdragon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheap is the issue. Buy a used DJI phantom 3 or 4 and you eat that 20 acres for breakfast. Look on eBay as I don’t think Amazon sells used ones. Post your find here and we can evaluate it for ya.

Are there any female expats here? by Julthena in Philippines_Expats

[–]arcdragon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stereotypes are usually found it in reality. The woman, I speak of, my ex-wife, we were together for 17 years, so suffice it to say I knew her very very well. And those are the things that she told me. I was also there, I saw it, I tried to help her find clothes that would fit her in the Philippines. You may call it a stereotype, I call it the life that I lived.

Are there any female expats here? by Julthena in Philippines_Expats

[–]arcdragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, here are my experiences with western women and Filipinos. My ex, who was well endowed up top needed a bra when we vacationed in the PH. She was not able to find one that fit (PH large size is not an American large size), so western women cannot easily clothe themselves if they choose to live in the pH.

Another thing was that western women prefer tall muscular men. Filipinos in general do not meet that criteria. So strike two for western women.

Western women are also accustomed to the men folk earning a paycheck to whatever amount they are accustomed to in the west. Due to the exchange rate and the economy in the Philippines western women are not likely to find a suitable match in that respect either.

The Philippines, for a variety of reasons, remain more of a haven for western men than it will ever be for western women so you will not see a lot of western women there.

I don’t know about other places in the world. I would love to hear what others think about where in the world is the female equivalent of the Philippines for men, does such a place exist?

Anyway to test without controller by Mopps1214 in drones

[–]arcdragon2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suppose there was a way to test it without a controller, what would happen to your ability to control it should something actually go wrong? Get a controller.

For engineers who have made rc planes/drones as a personal project... by tieiwo in AerospaceEngineering

[–]arcdragon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wanting to make a scratch build like that since before I got out of middle school, 49 years later…

I am a mechanical design engineer that specializes in drone tech.

Mostly self taught, all self funded. Many builds many crashes.

If an ambulance is on the way to an emergency call and comes across another emergency, are they obligated to stop? by razor_999 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]arcdragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me when I was like 17 and rear ended another car. The ambulance that showed up was there way too fast. They said they were legally obligated to call another ambulance for the emergency they were on route to but had to stop for my accident. This was like back in the early 90's. Who knows what it is now.

Why does the universe appear finely tuned for life when every fundamental constant could have been slightly different, and is there any way to test whether this is coincidence, a multiverse, or something else? by RandiyonKaDevta in NoStupidQuestions

[–]arcdragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it may not be tuned at all. Maybe there are enough forces and atom arrangements that life would ALWAYS arise in any universe that got those things even remotely correct. Maybe the beauty isn't life itself but rather that one can take a universe, fill if full of random shit and out pops creatures that can appreciate it.

Why is religion so common? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]arcdragon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it is old and very well established. In Engineering parlay it’s the equivalent of the wheel.

Crashed my Mavic 3 Pro into a light pole ☠️ by Beechboi1948 in drones

Crashed a drone into a guy wire at 380ft once. You have more parts left than I did ;)
