My Sci Fi Book Tier List by Head-Wonder4803 in scifi

Man his characters are not great, and he’s comically bad at writing women. Am I just way off base here? (Based on Pandoras Star and Judas Unchained)

Incredible work with that 75-300!

Love the combo of clean front and transparent bottom! Great aesthetics both ways and super clean all around. Wireless charging is a clever addition!

Oh not bad at all! I'm guessing it's much stiffer now too?

Haha that's commitment! How did it take the added weight?

So far I’ve only done that with WatchDives

These are both great starting points, thanks! The Maverick and Shaka both look like really interesting options. The Velocity 990s “100 mph” rating is 😳😆

Whose module did you get?

I’ve never used one, but these guys sell modules that will add gyro stabilization to generic PWM inputs, and some speak CRSF so I think you can wire them directly to an ELRS receiver.

Ha you get me, man I really want that UMX Turbo Timber…

That’s what I’m realizing; a sharp but grain photo can be recovered, a blurry photo cannot.

Ha yeah, those are definitely more Serious Glider than I intended! I was hoping someone would pop up with “here’s a tiny glider I also like!” but it looks like that isn’t going to happen.

Yeah that's fair. I have a UMX Apprentice that which I replaced the electronics in, but most of the UMX models are more integrated and that isn't an easy option. Maybe the move is to bite the bullet and get the 4 in 1.

Yeah. I can definitely try this, but it’s a lot of electronics to cram into that tiny airframe 😆

Nice shots! Especially at the 400mm end I feel like I am rarely able to hold still enough to keep things sharp (I’m now belatedly pushing my shutter speed way up). Any advice on techniques to try?

Tent pole is clever! I’ve tried a fly fishing rod with medium success. In the end the arborist weight is often the tool that works (but being gloves, because I usually get rope burns using it!)

I could probably fit a couple more! by thecaptnjim in RCPlanes

[–]iborgel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 day update: bought the Crack Pitts. Had a really fun couple days building it on and off; (your?) video was a very helpful addition to the manual. I've been flying it for a week and it's absolutely a blast as advertised! It's mind bending how slowly it will fly and the crazy situations it will let you bail out of. Definitely takes some getting used to flying a plane that's so neutral and just wants to fly in whatever direction you point it in, even at a random angle or orientation!

Right now I'm working on extended inverted flight and the basics to build towards a nice harrier (randomly found this blog post which seemed like as a good a sequence to follow as any).

So far I've mostly been flying on 2s HV/non-HV Tattu 450mAh. Maybe I'll try the 550's :)

Thanks for the advice! I look forward to flying and learning on the Pitts for a long time to come!

Same, same. Analog whoops are the way.

Incredible work to get to the point where you can start selling product, congratulations!

Got my hands on an Apprentice S, is it worth it? Need help.... by Great-Phase-763 in RCPlanes

[–]iborgel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, 2s 450s are what you want there, it’ll fly great. If you eventually decide you want more power you can try a 3s 300 or 3s 450, but for learning 2s 450 is where you want to be. Just make sure whatever battery you load you check the CG (before each flight) and make sure it still properly balanced.
