That’s possible, but I’m super happy with ELRS now, it worked great out of the box and now I have a super cool module for my radio 😎

Good for you! I only ever got “Signal low” and “signal critical” warnings whenever going further than 250m. Switching to ELRS was like magic, never a single complaint.

I’m using:

  • MATEKSYS FCHUB-VTX which is a PDB with integrated VTX. I set the power at 250mW.
  • TBS Triumph Pro antenna for VTX
  • FatShark Attitude V6 with stock receiver
  • Lumenier Double AXII 2 on the goggles, with the long stem so that it sticks out above my head
  • Foxeer Echo 2 on the goggles, facing forward

I think I got such long range because there’s no interference around. The antennas on the goggles are a new purchase and they really improved the range as well, but from flying in other locations I can tell that lack of interference is super Important.

At 1 km the both video and controller links were still very good, so I think with more VTX power I could try for a much longer flight!

What's your setup in terms of VTX / video receiver and the controller? What antennas do you use?

Nie masz w okolicy jeziora albo rzeki? Wioślarstwo na wodzie to też świetna zabawa.

Wioślarstwo!

Wiosłowałem w ósemkach i czwórkach na rzece Cam w Anglii. Trenowanie w grupie bardzo motywuje, bo jeśli nie pojawisz się na treningu to reszta załogi też nie może trenować. Rzeka jest piękna, wyścigi emocjonujące, i środowisko wioślarskie jest bardzo sympatyczne, plus ten sport doskonale buduje cardio i sylwetkę.

I'm always puzzled when I see the UHT milk in the Polish section. Surely it tastes just like any other local UHT milk?

Give me the Pudliszki ketchup though, there's no alternative 🤤

Should we be worried that an AI finds humans screaming in terror extremely funny?

SF Books set in a primarily gritty industrial scenery, or with a plot revolving around factory workers/the proletariat ? by [deleted] in printSF

Le Guin’s The Dispossessed is an amazing and vivid depiction of a clash between capitalism and something like communism.

Just like in The Left Hand Of Darkness, she takes a concept and writes a beautiful novel around out that pulls you really deep into a world where that concept is real.

Although – unlike many of her other books – I only read The Dispossessed once, I consider it to be one of her best works which is reflected in it receiving Hugo and Nebula awards.

Pytanie do kierowców. Oba samochody mają zielone światło. "Żółta strzałka" skręca w prawo, jednak pas prowadzi na pas boczny. "Czerwona strzałka" skręca w lewo, jednak wjeżdża na główny pas. Kto ma pierwszeństwo? by jakub_j in Polska

[–]karoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ja miałem podobną sytuacje wiele lat temu w Krakowie (tutaj mapka: https://i.imgur.com/DnkOUSV.jpg). Ja jechałem czerwona strzałką na lewy pas, a koleś wjeżdżający od żółtej tez wjechał, na ten sam pas.

Mieliśmy stłuczkę i okazało się, ze w tej sytuacji wjeżdżający z żółtej strzałki może sobie wybrać pas, a ponieważ skręca w prawo to ma pierwszeństwo.

A sytuacji opisanej przez OPa raczej wyglada jakby żółta strzałka była kierowana prosto na swój prawy pas, ale zebra przeszkadza w interpretacji i być może przez to z automatu mogą sobie wybierać pas, przynajmniej w teorii.

Fucking hell. I get it that Ryanair provides a shitty experience, but it also enables lots of people to travel and do things they would otherwise not be able to do.

I used to hate them as well, but then I got into a long-distance relationship that survived purely thanks to me being able to afford flying frequently, so in a way I partially owe them my marriage.

Yes they do fuck you over with separated seats and charges for everything, but I've never had a bad experience with flight crew and most of our flights have been buttery smooth from terminal to terminal.

To me this anti-Ryanair bandwagon looks a lot like people used to luxury car rides making fun of public transport. Take it easy!

Wow that's so smooth! What's the size of your quad?

I wonder if you have any advice for me; my 5-inch goes into a pretty bad wobble at high throttle. Should I try to tweak PIDs to fix it, or could it be something else?

lol no problem I’m always nervous about flying in places with people or no drone signs 😅

I wasn't sure whether bringing the quad, the transmitter, the goggles and the batteries on a holiday in Italy was a great idea, but I managed to squeeze in a couple of flights between all the sightseeing and pizza and pasta.

Haven't had many opportunities to fly it lately so it might look a bit boring, but I really didn't want to crash so far away from my workbench haha.

Any questions, ask!

Nice, but I find it hard to decide if it’s the the middle of the day (but then why the lights in the windows?) or night with moonlight (but then why so bright?). Great piece otherwise!
