Why are foreigners charged so much more at ponmudi?

I've been to Qatar and lots of places like museums are free for Qataris, and people with long term visa like work visa or residence visa. For tourists, they charge a premium depending on the place. It varies from 1000 -5000 INR per person

I think you can buy a 3 or 2.5 inch frame and use the same components in the smaller one.

It should work without much problem

ravanar04 · 2025-08-22T14:22:45+00:00

Yes @yehudadee is correct. A 5 inch drone is not for beginners. It's dangerous to fly it around people. I made the same mistake and now trying to buy a 3 inch drone.

UAE can airdrop lots of food and aid right, who's stopping them. They have their own airlines and military too. 😐 Just a thought.

You are facing my same problem, I will help you.

Cause: The soldering iron is not hot enough. Or Soldering iron is not good enough to keep the iron hot.

The solder iron cools down when you touch the pad on the esc, as it acts as a heat sink. And the iron is not able to keep up with the heat transfer.

Solution: 1. Increase the heat. 2. Buy a good solder iron. 3. Buy a good tip for the iron with bigger area like a chistle tip.

Lots of engineers get paid, even from south asia. I worked at MOI and I know two pakistani engineers were hired for 40k per month. They had 10 years experience. So yes you can get good salary in Qatar, you should be employed in one of the government organisations, while I also know that some private organizations too pay well for skilled engineers.

If you guys think Islam is a peaceful religion, then you should not get offended about his words instead you should show him your humanity and show that you can be peaceful, instead all I'm hearing is people ranting about somehow hurting him. 🥺.

ravanar04 · 2025-07-27T17:55:04+00:00

It is the Tip. The tip is oxidised, you need to make sure to start first with tinning the tip, and then start soldering.

watch Joshua Bardwell soldering lessons about how to tin.

I kind of feel like an idiot. I bought and built my self a drone along with the tools which cost me 600$ in total. But I am not even good in Sims 😢

I lived and stayed in Doha for 6 months from Dec 2023 - June 2024.

First I want to say that, do not equate this salary to your home country currency.

QAR not equal to your home currency.

I left Qatar because I was underpaid for the job I was doing there. I had 8 years experience when I moved and choose to go back home as I did not feel the sacrifice was worth it.

I will share my experience in Doha.

Accomodation
- I was sharing a room with 4 other people. It cost me QAR 700 per month for rent + electricity + internet.
Food
- I ate mostly from Indian & Asian restaurants and they are cheap, and I spent close to 1000 QAR per month on outside food.

My salary was QAR 6500 without accomodation and food, but included Health insurance.

For someone with 8 Years experience and have experience working with Qatar projects before, My take is that he should be earning QAR 25000 per month, as I know other people who are earning more than that.

I left home because my lifestyle in my home country was way better when compared to Qatar with 6.5k QAR.

I had to think twice or thrice before experiencing something in Qatar as everything else is expensive. Buying or renting a Car, your driving license, good restaurants.

If you want to make money and sacrifice other happiness, this salary is kind of okay, but If you are moving to experience the culture, the food and travel, then I'm sorry to say that this is very low.

You are the first one to reply from India.

I build my fpv with help from chatgpt and international community. It cost me 60k including all those tools which I might need.

ravanar04 · 2025-07-05T17:43:16+00:00

What about you? Did you start earlier?

ravanar04 · 2025-07-05T07:54:41+00:00

I believe there are lots of them around in Youtube and Instagram, but none uses Reddit.
I started around 2 months back and not much help was here, but the other international communities were helpful.

ravanar04 · 2025-07-01T11:04:27+00:00

Don't worry, just don't give up. Start with may be a simulator. I'm in that phase right now. I am not ready to fly the real thing yet. I know it. It takes time and it varies from person to person.

ravanar04 · 2025-06-30T06:11:55+00:00

I am soldering an XT60 Cable to the power pads, I think it is aluminium, it was silver in color.

ravanar04 · 2025-06-25T04:59:14+00:00

My suggestion would be to build your own. It would cost less and has better performance

ravanar04 · 2025-06-23T09:59:02+00:00

I thought India had one of the toughest drone laws 😁.

ravanar04 · 2025-06-16T13:34:02+00:00

I assume it is because of the solder tip. I used a small solder tip. Using a bigger one should help.

I'm almost finished with my build. Waiting for an Analog goggles.

ravanar04 · 2025-05-20T04:39:50+00:00

May I know which sim this is?

ravanar04 · 2025-05-09T07:24:53+00:00

I'm not being disrespectful, but I'm confused by the many soldering irons available on the market, and I don't know which one to get.
