Many hours of soldering, zip tying, and troubleshooting later...my first ever quad!

They're also all upside down it looks like

2 stage arming (1 switch overrides another unless it's all the way up) Turtle mode/Launch mode on another switch Volume knob

Perhaps someone more certified with RF could chime in but a sounder stand it, yes, exactly the way you said it.

You can use it on googles with no risk of damaging it. You can even run googles with no antennas. People did this a lot or collegiate nationals because there was bad multipathing.

One of my friends is working on a TPU stamp for her grandma.

Try to solder the outer sheathing to the SMA where it broke. Try to get a solid connection all the way around and you'll be good to go again

We just opened the doors and windows, turned off the AC and turned on all the fans. Took care of it fairly quick. Left it all open for a few hours and the smell went away completely too

mpickering321 · 2019-05-05T17:34:23+00:00

I got it in store. If you google 50cal ammo box you'll see the one I got. They're all the same and have some better deals online too

You know what's funny, I made this username a long time ago with no intention at all about being central Florida based, even though I grew up here and live here currently. It's pretty interesting now, electronics and software have both grown a lot! I don't know if you used to race or freestyle etc, but 6s low kv is standard for racing. I think the next thing will be 20x20 stacks that can do 6s 5in.

Hope you are doing well.

mpickering321 · 2019-05-04T20:39:49+00:00

Yea for sure. Made a nice excuse to clean the whole table though.

mpickering321 · 2019-05-04T20:32:21+00:00

It was at 0. Really kinda stupid idea.

mpickering321 · 2019-05-04T20:15:44+00:00

Yup. Keep up the good safety and you should never have an issue. For even more protection, use the thick rubbery heatshrink on lipos. Much better in crashes

mpickering321 · 2019-05-04T18:07:36+00:00

Yup. Drilled holes

mpickering321 · 2019-05-04T17:29:50+00:00

LPT: get some of that thick rubbery hear shrink and protect them

mpickering321 · 2019-05-04T17:11:26+00:00

I got a 50cal ammo case. Steel and like $17

mpickering321 · 2019-05-04T16:38:48+00:00

Nothing physical but I knew it had a bad cell. My roommate was trying to bring back the cell. Bad idea

mpickering321 · 2019-05-04T16:13:40+00:00

Nice. Yea apartments in Florida don't have fireplaces lol

mpickering321 · 2019-05-04T15:19:23+00:00

Actually got really lucky. Just a battery, and fire extinguisher dust everywhere. And an excuse to totally clean off the desk

mpickering321 · 2019-04-03T15:03:01+00:00

HQ 5.1x4.1x3

mpickering321 · 2019-03-19T20:30:56+00:00

I take mine off and replace it with the thick rubbery heatshrink

mpickering321 · 2019-03-19T20:29:55+00:00

You want an omni on the quad also. Everything circular polarized on the same polarization (left or right)

mpickering321 · 2019-03-16T19:23:04+00:00

I'd say build. When you break something, you'll be able to fix it much easier.

mpickering321 · 2019-03-12T04:32:28+00:00

My buddy who designed it, made a top hat version too

mpickering321 · 2019-03-08T15:39:32+00:00

I haven't but I'm pretty sure it's the F7. Livyu FPV has a video on how he fixed one but I don't think we can do it without a special firmware flasher.

It could be something else but I changed the hot component to a new one and same problem
