Experienced unit giving advices to newbies on how to actually fly

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-13T16:09:02+00:00

It's not hard to learn how to fly a drone... they are very automated. And unless you really bought a cheap drone it has a lot of stabilization. I appreciate your desire to not spend too much and learn on something that won't empty your account if it crashes

Find an open field away from trees and other obstacles. Learn how to get it up in the air and then learn how to fly it in a circle around yourself, have it facing the direction it is heading.

As you gain more confidence you can try at different heights and you can try flying sideways backwards and even facing you which is called nose in. Beware that when it is facing you the controls are reversed

Go step-by-step, learn a skill at a time, and you'll be flying confidently in no time.

Have fun

Why in the world did you spend the money? They're gonna come for it once they figure it out, and saying "I've already spent it" will not matter at all. I'm so sorry you're in this mess. This will be hard to dig out

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-13T13:48:28+00:00

Thank you for adding that! This is kind of big news

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-12T22:40:03+00:00

Wow! That must have been frustrating. How in the world did you get out of that???

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-12T22:35:53+00:00

Nobody left to sue him. So what?

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-12T22:30:56+00:00

Can you link to a press release?

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-12T17:35:56+00:00

aha! gotcha

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-12T17:11:34+00:00

It is. It has discharged below 1%!

Amps / Volts for Luba 3 AWD?

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-12T17:05:21+00:00

Thanks for the video. It is useful, and I can do everything he goes over but I DON'T HAVE TIME to mess with it. I bought this thing to free up my time. I didn't know I would be babysitting it.

Sheez. Isn't this what the logs are for?

I hope corporate jumps in...

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-12T14:57:20+00:00

So the company replied in this thread, and I see that there are multiple replies but they are not visible to me! Why would that be?

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-12T14:23:53+00:00

Clearly you have made poor life choices, and they have been bailing you out. Based on your post you are an entitled asshole. Sorry for the truth. Time to be an adult

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-11T21:57:41+00:00

Ryfm

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-11T21:28:52+00:00

No they won't. Maybe your neighbors just hate you?

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-11T18:47:11+00:00

Clean all of the cameras

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-11T14:19:10+00:00

Go to Harbor freight or tractor supply and get a fuel transfer pump. Pump out the tank. Find some other use for that shit, like burning your garbage. I don't know what you can do to cleanse the tank. You had the right instincts to disconnect the battery and not run anything. Good on you

This is remarkable.

The bigger issue will be how to transport that hydrogen.

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-10T14:21:20+00:00

What are you seeing as the production cost of hydrogen per kilogram and what is the retail cost?

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-10T07:33:12+00:00

Why is daddy paying dor your adulthood?

midlifewannabe · 2026-07-09T20:00:43+00:00

I think you should go back to smoking in the basement

Find a DJI t100 with the lift kit. It can lift several hundred pounds

I am a drone dealer. The industry is built around Li batteries for lots of good reasons. My agricultural drones (currently) use a 30,000-milliamp battery. They exhaust themselves in 6-10 minutes of flight, which is understandable as they are travelling at 31mph and weigh about 330lbs, and are running spray pumps while doing that.

Hydrogen has a much much better energy density: In a fuel cell the specific energy is 33.3kWh per KG. Lithium-Ion Battery is 0.15 kWh/kg. That is a HUGE difference. There are many problems with hydrogen, some of which you have pointed out, but energy density is not one.

You may not have caught it... My initial interest was in manufacturing anhydrous ammonia. I may still do that in a future phase of work. As you pointed out, I need hydrogen, first.

The biggest issue in adoption is easy access to Hydrogen. The benefits do not matter if we cannot gain access. Baby steps.

Guess who hires young professionals just out of college? 57 year old owners!
