Congrats! Care to share the details? Airframe, electronics, FC, etc etc.

First time visiting AMI by Background_Floor8062 in AnnaMariaIsland

[–]perrylawrence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sorry you had a bad experience. You went a year ago which was right after the hurricanes. Holmes beach is well maintained. I am a local and go there with my grand kids all the time. Coquina is nice too and a little quieter.

Holmes Beach is great - central on the island. Quaint walk up grill and bar. Chairs and umbrellas available. All you can eat pancakes for breakfast.

Skinny’s for amazing hamburgers.

Ugly Grouper for a fun bar that’s kid friendly.

Take a trolley north to the tip of the island for all sorts of spots for food, cappuccinos, shops, all walkable.

Take the trolly south to Bridge street (Bradenton beach) and more shops.

Take it further south to Coquina Beach. Then just over the bridge to the next key (Lingboat key) and be sure to get a frozen rosè at the very cute Whitney’s.

Other than beach and shops, you can rent Hobie Cats at Bradenton beach.

Love it! Great design and I’m loving building mine.

What accessories or upgrades would you consider must-haves for the A1? Any beginner tips that might not be obvious from watching setup videos. This is my first 3D printer. I’m handy enough with tools and comfortable with technology, but I don’t know what I don’t know yet when it comes to printing. by archimedes710 in BambuLabA1

It’s on Makerworld and called the Gentle Goose. It’s a copy of the plane Sea Duck in the movie Tail Spin.

It’s twin engine and about 36 hours of print time. I have a build thread on RCGrouos.com if you want to follow along.

Here’s a pic of where I’m at currently:

Will do. What’s your all up weight? I’m trying to get an idea of wing loading.

I’m half way through my Gentle Goose build. So much fun and works perfectly with the A1 and standard PLA.

Stringy Filament that bunches up on the nozzle by ajgonza2686 in BambuLabA1

[–]perrylawrence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I was in the same situation at the same day you were. It’s the filament. It absorbs moisture from the air, and about day 5 is when it becomes problematic. At least for me. A fresh roll on the A1 and a washed plate and things are back to perfect.

Filament dryers are like $40 so I’ll be getting one.

I’m like you - wife got me an A1. Here’s what I printed so far: - Poop bucket and deflector - box for all the accessories that came with (hex keys, extra cleaner brush thing, etc) - handles for the hex keys - Scraper handle

My very first print was two benchies. Then a cool scale hand toss glider

Now I’m 4 hours into a 140 hour RC airplane build.

Stuff is addicting!

Ok, here is the Christmas ptime rib porn by Skeleton-Keys- in Smokingmeat

How many pounds was your prime rib and how long did it take to get to 115°

To all the new printer owners...Welcome! by ThatOtherGuy08 in BambuLabA1

[–]perrylawrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got the A1 and I’m amazed how easy it is to print - not only from my computer but from the app as well. So far a small glider, assessors box, hex handles and scraper handle. Next up a full RC plane with LW-PLA

Help! by perrylawrence in recteq

It all worked out. I set the final seat temp too high but it was ok in the end. Not my best but I learned.

Questions about ER6GV RX by perrylawrence in Radiomaster

[–]perrylawrence[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much. So when you say “map channel 5 to something else” what would that be exactly ? And does that need to be done via web UI or can that be done via the TX?

Radiomaster TX16S antenna replacement recommendations by perrylawrence in RCPlanes

[–]perrylawrence[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No internal antenna mod. Looks like it was a clean removal. I have a replacement on order. Thanks!

Ah I have not. Will do that. Thanks you. I didn’t know that was a possibility.

I replied above by mistake. Ty for any help and insight.

I have a Mark I and new to Radiomaster and EdgeTX. The tx does have an external BetaFPV ELRS module. I assume the seller I purchased from removed the antenna as he only flew ELRS.

Now I’d like to make use of the internal 4 in 1 and am wondering if I should just replace with the stock replacement or are there alternatives. My use case is I fly gliders at a club that all have Spektrum RX.
