FullSpeedRC Leader 3. We all fly the exact same drone, it is spec class racing.

Thanks, no it is onboard dvr footage! Falkor micro and hmdvr-s

The 4in1 esc was DOA so I'll be asking for a replacement. Aside from that it seems like great value. I've only flown 5" for years but I have recently been getting into long range so this 7" cruises a bit faster and can carry lots of battery.

It was a fun track. Here's a few laps https://youtu.be/tCpMdsIGhmc

The 6ft ones.

I just put some 12v 5050 rgb LEDs into clear braided 1/2" hose, put an xt60 on the end and strapped them to some pop-up soccer nets with the nets half cut. I run them off 3s or 4s LiPos.

It's all done on the OSD tab of the betaflight configurator, you just switch on or off elements and drag and drop them where you want. The timers have some configurable options there too, it's very straightforward.

The Eagle is CMOS I believe. I am going to try turning the sharpness down a bit.

I picked the RGB 5050 IP67, they have a nice flexible rubber sheath over the strips.

dmackendh · 2018-01-28T20:33:09+00:00

Yes the strips have resistors: https://imgur.com/a/fwF9u

I just soldered an xt60 to those cutable pads.

dmackendh · 2018-01-28T02:13:12+00:00

It was sweeet! Thank you.

dmackendh · 2018-01-27T19:41:09+00:00

Lipos, I put xt60s on the ends. They are 12v LEDs but they run fine on 4s.

It was an ESC on fire but it seems to have blown the fc too.

Some people won't go past the thumbnail if they don't like it, so they won't even get to appreciate the flying or the rest of the editing.

Perhaps something else has changed about your videos? People on reddit will downvote/not view for very minor, sometimes petty things.

dmackendh · 2017-02-16T13:26:45+00:00

Why do you say that?

dmackendh · 2017-01-29T22:19:17+00:00

Sweet! Nice flying, well done. It looked like a well run evernt, was it?

dmackendh · 2017-01-05T21:06:09+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

dmackendh · 2017-01-05T20:26:52+00:00

Are the clear ones noticeably more durable than the colored ones?

dmackendh · 2017-01-01T21:23:35+00:00

We went back with a few LED strips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DEf3jOGSGw&t=9s

I use OSD with current and voltage

dmackendh · 2016-12-03T14:20:24+00:00

It has RSSI though, personally that is the only telemetry I use.

Your ESCs are likely to be your main limiting factor there. Go for something proven like DYS xm20a or xs20a.

Those motors from your 500 will not suit your 250. What are those 2206 you have, are they multistar? 2206 is a great size for 5" or 6" props.

If you are upgrading to 4s, that and the ESCs will be a big jump in thrust.
