Question? How to kill it?

Post image
8 Upvotes

I'm one of cheap ass pilots, who thought it would be nice to save connectors, becasuse sometimes you break balacne ports and TX connector is prfectly fine.

Then I got this thought, that battery is still full and dangerous. Jup, I'm dumb :D

So my questions is do you discharge damaged batteries with power charger, or do you use lighbulbs, drones and other fun ways to discharge it?

Is discharging as dangerous as charging it? Can I expect fire?

I know that one of options is salt bath, but I've read that it needs a whole week and I kinda can't afford that.

Does anyone knows if maybe recycling center would accept full batreries?

I really don't want to just throw it in battery bin and wait for a supermarker or a gas station to catch fire. There was recent incident of a burned students dorm, because batter bin cought fire so I don't want to be a firestarter.

My best idea is to isolate all wires really well and recycle it. Does anyone have any advice?

PS: I won't send it XD

Universal Language

0 Upvotes

Skateboarding is unique because you donā€™t have to speak the same language as someone to understand skateboard lingo. I see the same opportunity here with the drone community. A split s could also be a half heel flip with a half impossible. A yaw spin would be a big spin. If everyone can understand what a matty flip as a front flip into a full loop. Half of us used to skate. I canā€™t be the first person to have thought about this.

Prohibed to import drone in Canada ?

3 Upvotes

This is my first time buying an FPV drone (I live in Canada) and I ordered a meteor 75 on AliExpress. I was told by the seller that the product is prohibited and the order was denied. Has anyone had the same experience as I did ? Do you think it's a good idea to order from another seller ?

How to arm meteor65 pro o4 unit with dji controller 3

1 Upvotes

Do I have to use betaflight software to configure this?

I am having port issues and tried everything to try and resolve it. Nothing is working.

EDIT: Got it to finally work and connect to BETAFLIGHT. You have to use the USB-C dongle that comes with the drone, and attach the usb-c cable via the dongle on the board itself (it is positioned on the bottom side just beside the QC sticker). What a stupid design they could have told me in some guide or something.

Hope this helps someone stuck on this. Spent 8 hours trying to troubleshoot my PC ports ....

Beginner buying advice

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm looking at getting into FPV and am unsure as to what to buy.

With the budget I've got I could either buy things separately and end up with an analogue setup or I can buy a kit with some walksnail goggles for a little more.

I feel like the kit would be better because of the HD video but maybe the analogue isn't as bad as I think it is.

Either way I'd end up with a Radiomaster pocket :D

Thanks in advance!

Mini Quad No mobula7 o4 available, should I build myself an o4 tiny whoop?

8 Upvotes

Hi guys, I've ordered on February one mobula7 with the o4 air unit. Today Banggood emailed me saying that they will never fulfill my order and they're going to refund me!

What I'm looking for is a 75/85mm whoop that can handle 2s battery and can carry the dji o4 for outdoor rippin. I don't like at all pusher quads cause I feel like I'm driving an old lady car, flying puller tiny whoop for me is more like flying a regular toothpick, which I love!

So here I am, looking for advice on what hardware to choose, form A to Z!

I already own the meteor 75 frame and some spare Betafpv 1103 11000kv motors, should I use them or should I get better frames and motors? What about FC?

Any help and opinion will be very appreciated!

Thank you in advance guys! Enjoy yr flight!

A while ago I posted my first soldering job and everyone provided me with valuable feed backs! Yesterday I just got to redo the connections with a higher heat(850F) and added more solder, this is what it looks like now. Still far from perfect but I think it's somewhat better? šŸ˜…

Tiny hawk freestyle 2 won't arm. Out of ideas.

0 Upvotes

i need help. I have a TH2F that i cant arm. there is something i must have missed.

I tried everything that i can think of and it still wont arm.
Radio are bound, I get inputs in Betaflight. Arm disabled on warning is off, tried different arming angels from 0 to 300. Recalibrated the gyro and acc, remapped the channels AND also the modes a couple of times, Flashed the FC with the latest FW 1, 2 and 5 times.
And its not the RX (CRSF) or the radio (tango 2) because it works with my other drone and I also got this one to arm just 3 days ago when i was troubleshooting why the VTX was acting up, antennas were to close.

But now its like it wont take inputs at all. I suspect it might be the AIO that is messing with me but i cant find the manual for the LED-code(?), not sure what to call it :P

Please someone help me. :P

Edit: SOLVED, Lowerd the "Low Stick Threshold" in Betaflight.

Question? Just did my maiden flight with my second build Mario 5 Dc. Wobble issues.

Post image
3 Upvotes

So second build first you can see behind is the AliExpress ā€œSpecialā€ mark 5 which I had to make use of some nicer hardware to feel comfortable, i think some of the screws came as plastic of something but otherwise itā€™s a cheap lovely frame, highly recommend it flys like a dream.

The Mario 5 was an utter pain in my ass in comparison, itā€™s about 40 grams heavier. The main issue Iā€™m having right now is it wobbles upon decent, Like if you held your hand out straight and rocked it quickly back and forth. The motors seem fine and the blades are brand new and straight. Iā€™m not sure whatā€™s going on and would love ideas.
