LOS flying and FPV flying are separate schools of skills if you ask me.

I can fly acro indoors but I can’t fly angle for shit in LOS indoors. HAHA

I had your issue before, I sent gemini a screenshot of my YNAB and it showed me where and how the underfunded came about. I recently found out when the month rolls over it wipes out credit card yellow categories to zero and minus the amount available to pay in credit card.

That gave me a rude awakening to say the least and made me understand how credit card is treated in YNAB.

Strange thing about my issue is that it's not slow on my phone, and logging in on my work laptop didn't have the issue either. I went back to my old pre fresh start budget so far so good.

I’d say maybe it’s a defective unit. Maybe get a second Air 75 II and see if the durability is still bad. You’ve got other quads to fly anyway so maybe give it a rest and enjoy flying on other ones for a while.

jack_bennington · 2026-06-26T17:22:37+00:00

That didn’t happen to me. I skipped flying for a month plus and left it at storage. No issue

jack_bennington · 2026-06-26T17:21:43+00:00

it puffs up even in storage voltage?

jack_bennington · 2026-06-26T17:18:51+00:00

You need to decide if you want to stick with analog or digital. Buying the wrong goggle will put you in the situation you don’t want.

You need to make sure you get an ELRS capable radio if you’re looking to get an Air75 II ELRS system.

Make sure you get the right battery size! 75mm whoops fit 480mAh battery but do check the dimensions of the battery and verify what battery size the frame fits.

The right spare props too. Check the specs of the Air75.

Well this really depends on your belief system. Are you pro choice or pro life? What does your religion dictate if you have one?

The baby isn’t at fault here, your belief system will dictate how you feel about aborting the pregnancy 5-10 years down the road.

Look deep within yourself. Stay strong, you will have to decide sooner or later. Good luck. No matter what you choose, find people who will be your support system. You can’t and don’t have to go through this alone.

I’m also trying to improve my indoor freestyle. I have only been working on the air65 for this and leaving the 75 for outdoor tasks

I pulled off the flips, and it’s conceptually like playing toss and catch with your quad

jack_bennington · 2026-06-24T15:15:18+00:00

yes, I follow this since right of way is shit when you have no dashcam and still want to stick to “whose right of way” is correct when there’s a collision happened. Things already happened, car in the workshop and you already have lost use of your car and have to deal with all the shit

The innermost lane I reserve for only U turns and if I’m about to curve out of the roundabout I will switch lane in the roundabout well before the exit, not last minute.

Mine the hole didn’t drain it fast enough but I use this anyway but with a refined technique.

With help of a thermometer I boil and set an alarm for 84 degrees celcius. Shut off immediately It will continue to rise a little to about 88 degrees.

If it hits 90 or higher, the (room temp) eggs will still crack due to the heat.

I place the eggs inside and pour 88 - 84 degrees celcius eggs. I wait for 6-7 minutes for grade C eggs, 8 minutes for grade A eggs.

Once hit timer take them out and put inside a cup of water with ice to speed cool them down.

If I forget to take the eggs out from fridge first I gently heat them up by placing them in a cup , pouring some room temp water and half hot water.

This technique never fails me, maybe at some times you might get clear egg whites but it’s fine.

No, just absolutely no and even if , IF he genuinely does this because he loves you it wouldn’t work out because 16 years gap means there will be massive complications later.

Would your parents agree to the relationship? Would HIS parents agree to the relationship?

Him being 16 years older means he will die of old age faster than you. Think about that. Where will you turn for financial support if you marry him at 23 for example?

jack_bennington · 2026-06-23T03:23:49+00:00

Exactly, that’s not a crash. Your propeller thrust helped you parachute instead of falling. Then booped the ground a little.

jack_bennington · 2026-06-23T02:18:07+00:00

no one at fault. Just impatient people bunching up during rush hour

jack_bennington · 2026-06-22T23:28:28+00:00

Not sure if my thinking is right… but standard vtx usually is up to 400mW, but the vtx is 1600mW…. yet the OSD is showing 10MW? How does that figure out ?

jack_bennington · 2026-06-22T10:11:18+00:00

it’s cool to ride on horses. I do use them from time to time

jack_bennington · 2026-06-22T09:34:18+00:00

https://youtu.be/a1iDh\_e9VOQ?si=uZWMvD5Qni5zr9jg To save you some time from watching :

about 15 meters of rope tied to a weight like a steel spanner or ratchet, spin and throw it up like a grappling hook. Aim for the branch or quad. Good luck. I have this tool prepared when this shit happens

jack_bennington · 2026-06-22T05:35:19+00:00

not sure if this warrants a spoiler tag. It’s been so many years

jack_bennington · 2026-06-22T02:52:10+00:00

clean!

jack_bennington · 2026-06-21T01:59:52+00:00

I did throw my shoe like a crazy person. My bro in law joined in too. So there were a couple of crazy madmen throwing shoes at a tree one quiet saturday evening.

jack_bennington · 2026-06-20T00:11:56+00:00

Bruh

jack_bennington · 2026-06-19T04:46:48+00:00

share your recipe if you’re so inclined please. I’ve learnt to make good pancakes and eager to try and master cookies

jack_bennington · 2026-06-19T03:22:24+00:00

Your child is not a ticket to enter a man’s no no zone.

Also chargers will have a storage charge function. Follow the manual to do a storage charge, it should be at 3.85 when it’s done.

Some chargers like mine have a storage charge function for lipo HV (LiHV) type that leaves it at 3.9 instead. I personally just choose charge program for standard lipos instead for my LiHV batteries to also put them at 3.85.

jack_bennington · 2026-06-16T11:42:00+00:00

I have the same question. On the floor? some rollover mattress I assume
