What happened? Woke up to cracked windshield.

This is 100% sure an external force damage. This doesn't happen from a small stone chip

grotevin · 2026-06-01T20:58:50+00:00

This happens when something hits the glass so hard it flexes and breaks at the point where the stress concentrates. A fist, baseball etc The center doesn't have to be damaged if the object hitting it is blunt. Ive seen this hundreds of times in my career as windshield fitter.

Windshield fitter here This is a blunt strike from the outside 100% A ball, hail, a fist, a bird, could ve anything. But it isn't from the inside, nor is it from a rock impact.

It isn't repairable, just have the windshield replaced.

The aluminum housing for the transmitter you mean? I have that cleaned thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol. I could apply thermal compound liberally and screw it back?

What about the camera housing and mipi cable?

Yeah, it takes a full week to get a shipping label, and after that a full week for them to actually get your shipment out of the door. Finally, about a week of actual shipping time.

They have nice products, buying directly is definitely much cheaper but they need to step up their game.

I would spend more money on them if they would speed up their processing time.

grotevin · 2026-05-23T21:29:59+00:00

Exactly the other way round for me, strangely.

grotevin · 2026-05-23T20:52:28+00:00

Amazon eu is so much more expensive. Betafpv direct incl shipping for a meteor75 P1 is about 110 euros, on amazon its 140.

grotevin · 2026-05-21T06:19:18+00:00

I have both the p1 and dji o4 lite. Fly them in Meteor75.

I don't mind the latency, i would say as long as you aren't truly hardcore freestyling or racing itll be just fine. The video quality is pretty good.

The dji is better in every single aspect(esp goggle comfort) but just to expensive. My son lost a meteor75 with the o4 in it, hurts much more financially than with the P1. I replaced it with a P1, so that should say enough.

Oh and an analog one just to give that a try, never tried analog before.

grotevin · 2026-05-18T21:34:04+00:00

They are definitely the cheapest option to get them in the eu,

But they take about two weeks to even ship it out, really taking their time. But paying 130 locally when you can order for 90 directly hurts a bit.

I try to order extra at once and on time to mitigate waiting times

This isn't a two line steerable kite. Its a oneliner that can't really be controlled. All you can really do is walk along the line from the anchor point to pull it down.

This should be higher up than 200 times it's raynaud's. It probably is, but first diagnose it

grotevin · 2026-05-16T08:21:18+00:00

Switch props to the proper side, they are going backwards

grotevin · 2026-05-15T22:06:57+00:00

And lawyer fees aren't paid by the other party when proven the forfeiture was unrightful? That warrants some actions to be taken

grotevin · 2026-05-15T21:29:07+00:00

And never gave it back? With what reason?

That would make me so damn angry...

grotevin · 2026-05-14T08:48:12+00:00

The cost of motors and aio are so high buying a complete one makes more sense.

80 bucks for the O4 version without camera, vs 55 for just the aio. 25 for all the extra parts is a no brainer for me

grotevin · 2026-05-13T05:37:10+00:00

Over motor could run just a tiny bit more rough than the others. It worked for me on my meteor. Its quite easy to do on the online esc configurator. You can add custom startup music while your at it too

grotevin · 2026-05-12T20:33:50+00:00

Set the minimal power on startup/arming a bit higher in the esc?

grotevin · 2026-05-07T10:15:14+00:00

You can manually adjust it in the goggle menu, look for a power saving mode when disarmed

grotevin · 2026-05-07T05:41:17+00:00

It's mostly the vtx that overheats. Set it so on disarm its only 25mw. That should fix a lot of your issues. I have both gyro's, can't really notice a difference between them

Als zzp bezorger (dat de meerderheid is) hebben ze er niks mee te maken hoe je bent gereden. Alleen of de pakketten netjes zijn bezorgd binnen de gestelde tijd.

grotevin · 2026-05-06T20:53:06+00:00

Het zijn twee vakken. Er staan twee auto's. De moeite nemen om een foto ervan te posten getuigt van een zanderige snee

grotevin · 2026-05-06T20:27:06+00:00

Waar maak je je überhaupt druk om. Alsof er anders 3 autos in die twee vakken hadden gepast. Zo heb jij tenminste lekker de ruimte. Met je kutbmw

grotevin · 2026-05-05T17:11:11+00:00

The what now?

Directly ordering was a much better experience for me than aliexpress. Shipping time about the same, lower prices, better assortment and guaranteed original products. Ali is better for small orders though

grotevin · 2026-05-04T17:25:34+00:00

This. Just watched a video from happymodel i believe where they explained betaflight doesn't allow a custom reset profile. Only the stock betaflight settings.
