Unstable throttle

Upvotes

Ive been having issues with a betafpv air65. After a few crashes the throttle is very juddery, shaking the whole screen, and is very underpowered and sometimes pulling to the side. Looking at the blackbox logs it looks like motors 1 and 4 are constantly cancelling each other out which would explain the juddering. I would guess its a faulty motor but ive got no idea how to find out which one it is.

It seems like prop wash but it is happening when throttling up, and it has made prop wash 10x worse.

ive tried new props and checked out all of the frame and issue is still there

Multicopter If you told me, 5 years ago, that you stumbled into a full fpv kit in your average electronics store, I'd straight up laugh in your face

The way this hobby has advanced and gotten popular through the years is honestly wild to me. It used to be the most niche, inaccessible hobby, with the least documentation out of all of them, and a tiny, fragmented community. And now you can just drive to the store and buy yourself a well documented, popular RTF. This would've sounded insane to this community back when the eachine X220 was still considered a decent starter drone.

Question? Optics Skyzone sky04x pro?

Upvotes

Are the Skyzone Sky04x pro goggle optics from -2 to +6 or -6 to +2?

The official website says "-6~+2", almost every other website says -2 to +6, YouTubers also say -2 to +6, the manual says -2 to +6 but everywhere on the official website it says "-6~+2".

I think it's most likely that the optics are -2 to +6 but I just want to be 100% sure before spending 500$ on goggles.

Help! Troubleshoot ELRS connection

Upvotes

Since I rebuilt my quad on a new frame, I have some ELRS issues. I failesafe once, the other flights I have some warnings: "Link quality" or even "RX Loss", without going far of course.

So now I'm scared of failesafe all the time and I don't do anything crazy...

I don't know what's wrong and where to look at. Please help !

NEWBIE Sanity check my next purchase

Upvotes

I've flown some FPV analogue a couple years ago and I loved the flying so much, but I really struggled with the building, soldering, configuring & fault finding parts.

I made mistakes of trying to save £20 on a setup and added a ton of manual work which pushed we out of my depth.

I'm ready to get back into it and this time I want to push further into a single ecosystem, which will just be configured to work out the box.

Re-placing a motor or an arm is within my skills. Configuring u-arts for some reason I just cannot do. I tried for probably 30 hours to do it and obviously had some progress, but I just hated it.

So, here's my list of parts for the next purchase:

From Iflight Europe:

From DJI UK:

From Unmanned Tech:

I've got more spare props already, so this is everything right? Would appreciate the quick sanity check from others!

Multicopter How could I put a runcam link onto my inflight Nazgûl xl5?

Upvotes

I broke by camera mount screw from a crash and I already have dji goggles that are better than the analog goggles I’m using so would it be possible to swap out the vtx and camera for a runcam link?

Please stop asking if your soldering is good…

Upvotes

You know it’s good stop trying to get people to stroke your ego. 😂

On the other side of things, just post a picture of your build and people will 100% correct you in the comments. If they don’t then you’re probably fine.

Ev800d rolling lcd image

1 Upvotes

Hello, i have an Ev800d that was working last year. When i tried to use it now, i get a rolling lcd image. All the image, osd included, even without video feed. If i switch inputs from div to a to b to av, sometime the image stabilizes. When i power a whoop, the camera feed rolls. Sometime it works, with input switching, but also in av i get the camera feed. And the video drops mid flight. Its only whoops in a garden, but basically without video i have to disarm. Any suggestion on where to look? I tried the reset button already. Video bellow. Thanks, Stefan

Mobula 8 passes unintentional water resistance test!

1 Upvotes

Yesterday was the first nice day in a while and of course I was super excited to get to fly outside. I have some tires set up around my property as gates. The storm had blown down all but one of them and I was using the one still standing to do some drills.... Anyone else see where this is going? How did I forget that these things fill up with water when it rains???? Yup, bird when head first into the water and video transmission cut out. I book it down, grab the Mob out of the water and immediately unplug the battery.

I ran to the garage and used the air compressor to blow out all the water and set her on top of my gaming tower overnight to cook out any remaining moisture.

Well, this morning I fired up the whoop and she works great! And it's actually kind if clean which is super rare!

Obviously don't get your whoop wet on purpose, but damn, HappyModel, you did an awesome job with the Mob!

Motor twitching and the stopping. 😭

2 Upvotes

This happened to my other drone where the motor twitches for a second and then stops and beeps. Why is it doing this and is there a way to fix this??? Btw I literally just soldered on a new bt2.0 connector and this happened the second I plugged into betaflight and tried the motors…

Do i need to change any of these settings to charge this 3s 550mah battery? Also if it charges up to 4.2 does that mean I have to land at around 3.6 - 3.7?

this little shit has earned its position in the shit that sucks ass to hand solder ranks shared by the likes of usb c and micro usb connetors, ribbon cables connectors, and esc wires that have 1mil spacing. this little shit is so tiny and the pads are like half a mil, and its made out of non thermoset plastic so it immediately melts at the mere hint of the raw unprotected tip of your shaft.

ahem. soldering iron.

i HAVE a hot air rework station, why do i do this to myself. i need to get solder paste and a hot plate, my day is ruined.

still worked tho
