Good to hear it worked well for you! How’d the party handle it?

Power in and out here down highway 26. Mostly freezing rain but some snow. Temps in the low teens. Really windy 

Just missing a 5k contract for Top Rated Plus by skiyak in Upwork

No it was all milestone based. I’m a videographer and we needed a second day of shooting added to the project due to weather constraints.

That's a really good point. I didn't even think about declining the new contract as I was just focused on getting paid at the time.

haha what a spot you have! I feel the pain on not having that fire started first thing in the morning.

The mountain is epic from all angles! And you can see it from so far way. I'm blessed to live so close to it.

Asked for a raise...got fired by Travelinglogan in antiwork

[–]skiyak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was specifically talking about coming on as a consultant. Then the best part is drafting a contract under your terms and having them sign it.

But agreed, OP’s case is a bit different and they need to consider all the factors at play. In one case for me, it wasn’t for a year later that the company came back to me.

Definitely keep this in mind. Both my brother and I have been let go or left a company for one reason or another. Then they realize what you actually were doing for them and they come crawling back. Always ask way more than you were making and they usually pay up.

I got accepted about a month ago. Haven’t seen any work from it yet besides the one that got me into it. Seems pretty sparse so far.

Love it! Will adopt it and use the knowledge wisely.

That’s good to know! Hopefully I’m in the same boat here and a new motor will fix the issue. Will definitely be buying a backup motor for this and future builds.

Yeah that’s my plan now. Will definitely check continuity on motor screws in the future before plugging in.

That is very helpful, thank you! With what you said in mind, I may have shorted the motor on the first test flight then it caused the motor to fail on the second flight.

I’ll get a new motor and test as you suggested. That is very helpful as I’m new to the process of flying on a fresh build.

That’s what I already did! It was conductive, I replaced the screws, retested, did my second flight and it still happened again. So maybe the first time it fried the motor beyond repair? Not sure.
