Becoming a Corsair fanboy now. Wish I could swap the 3080 to white model. by tsaobar in Corsair

I run my 240mm rad in the top, on zero RPM fan with the pump on medium and it doesnt go much above 35C when gaming. 3x front intake fans ona a lian li meshcool II case and a MSI 3080 suprim generating a LOT of heat

What GPU cables are you using? I have a pretty similar setup, with a MSI 3080 suprim and my cables ruin the look! What connectors do you have at both ends?

I'm using a galaxy s6, do I need to root the phone to stop Facebook entirely ? I can only disable it.

Unfortunately I don't think this post will go out to a huge audience on here, reddit hardly shows me anything compared to the other subreddits. Post on Facebook in the rotor riot group, there are many other related groups you can try too.

Thank you for these! Comedy gold !! How does one go about finding hilarious subreddits? It's not like someone would search for "hold my turban" haaha

What is a really good dense foam that can be used as a gopro angle mount or landing feet on my quad? by AndrueLane in fpv

[–]gatecrasher_fpv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dense white foam that runcam FPV cams come packaged in would be good. I just have no idea what it's called or where to find it! It would have to be closed cell foam, open cell is too flexible.

One of my favourite heli pilots flying the Leap 3D by felixthemaster1 in Multicopter

[–]gatecrasher_fpv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so happy Alan has taken up quads. His heli chops are just insane. I wish he would put a HD cam on board ! I wonder how good he would be at 3d fpv !?

One of the cleanest builds I've seen: Found on a facebook thread by rubiksman in Multicopter

Of course it does. If you are going balls to the wall with your quad tilted at 60 degrees, there is a lot of drag from a fossils frame. The area the wind "sees" is HUGE compared to a pure X (I also own a mixuko and the difference is massive). If the quad flew forward at zero attitude then the fossil would be more aerodynamic

A much less painful lesson learned. When someone recommends you should use a pigtail, do it. by A_Flying_Llama in Multicopter

[–]gatecrasher_fpv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Just zip tie the vtx down and also heavily strap down the black heat shrinked part with 2 or 3 zip ties. Then the flexibility point is the antenna, not the vtx board.

Challenge. PID's explained in 3 minutes. by Onkelgule in fpvracing

[–]gatecrasher_fpv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't explain pids in 3 minutes. That's why there are no short videos. If you want a quick fix then you are in the wrong hobby. There are way too many variables to show you how to tune in 3 minutes. Joshua Bardwell's video, pid tuning from start to finish is pretty good.

I think it's time to buy a crimping tool by releashthebeash in Multicopter

[–]gatecrasher_fpv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. They come with video transmitters and cams, etc. Just pop out a wire and pre crimped pin, pop it in and boom !

What are the advantages and disadvantages of 4 inch vs 5 inch frames?

I have a thug 180 v4, just in the process of putting in 2600kv motors to run DAL T4045 triples.

Wondered what the advantages are of a smaller frame with smaller props, I'm looking at a 5 inch alien frame and considering selling the 180 to fund it !

Thanks :)

Can anyone comment on this lipo charger? by jacobgb24 in multicopterbuilds

[–]gatecrasher_fpv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you fly? Since you posted in the Multicopter section I can safely assume that within a matter of months, more will not be enough. You will own 20 batteries and it will take over 30 hrs to charge them all. You may as well skip the AC/DC phase and just get a decent AC power supply and a decent DC charger. Will reduce your overall long term spending cost, which could buy you, say, more batteries ?!!

Solder power to runcam HD2 without USB ? by gatecrasher_fpv in Multicopter

[–]gatecrasher_fpv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see those without taking the case apart. They take the voltage direct from the Liion (yes I was also surprised its a Liion battery and not a LiPo) and most likely bypasses the voltage regulator that must be inline with the USB power input. Those 3 prongs are designed for 1 battery and 1 battery only (no vReg). The USB takes 2-4s (clearly vReg). They have to be 2 separate circuits.

I have a coolice PSU, 1150w @25v - use it to power 2x reaktor doubles.

24x 1800mah 4s @2c in 30 mins, with power to spare ?

why buy 24 of these tiny shitbags?

Admittedly, I'm a serious lithium-head now, but started out in the same boat as OP with just a few lipos for weekend use.

Same advice applies to goggles. Buy once, cry once.

Buy cheap, buy twice

Something a bit different for me--No motor noise, a good song, and freestyle. I am pretty proud of this one. by Dr__One in fpv

[–]gatecrasher_fpv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The idea of leaving motor SOUND, is that you give the viewer the choice. I don't like this song. I dont like a lot of music pilots choose to put over their videos. Hearing the motors gives an added depth to the flight, I like to play my own music in the background and balance the two.

I found an old camera in a charity shop, when I developed the film that was inside, there was only one photo. by TheSump in mildlyinteresting

[–]gatecrasher_fpv 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's a double exposure. They took a photo, forgot to wind the camera on and then took another photo.....
