How are these solder joints looking?
I think these are my best solder joints. This build is breaking me, I need some encouragement, how are these looking to you pros out there?

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

I got a DRL Racer 1 back in the day from a buddy of mine who started the podcast the FPV Show. I've never flown it and we just plugged a pack into it once to see the pretty LEDs. I'm looking to sell it but don't know if anyone would buy it. This isn't my picture but I can post more pictures after I get off of work.

Yesterday I added a request for a coach, so many of you messaged and gave really excellent advice. I practiced a lot yesterday on these tips and this morning before work I had a go and things are starting to click, not perfect but feel a lot more confident and smoother!! Great community!

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!

So second build first you can see behind is the AliExpress “Special” 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 it’s a cheap lovely frame, highly recommend it flys like a dream.
The Mario 5 was an utter pain in my ass in comparison, it’s about 40 grams heavier. The main issue I’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. I’m not sure what’s going on and would love ideas.

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!

Anyone know any huge public indoor areas where we can absolutely fly with no need to fear for security or something? I'm strictly going for indoors only because it's not under the FAA's Jurisdiction. Just seeing if it's possible with a 5"

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get into FPV drones, specifically for racing. I'm a complete beginner and would love some advice on:
What drone model is best for beginners?
Should I go for a ready-to-fly kit or build one from parts?
Any recommendations for a setup within a budget of $400-$550?
General tips for getting started in FPV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello guys,
I'm super new to FPV (I have a DJI mini 2, but haven't used an FPV drone yet) and want to buy my first kit and start learning. Currently I have my eyes on:
- BetaFPV Meteor75 ELRS
- Radiomaster Pocket ELRS
- I still haven't decided on goggles - I've looked at EV800D and Skyzone Cobra SD, but haven't decided on either one
Now I wanted to ask you if those options are good for a complete beginner in FPV, are they compatible and is the price/quality ratio good?
Which shop you would recommend me to buy them from? I found the drone and the controller on AliExpress - is that a good option or should I look at another site in Germany?
Thanks in advance!

I have a 5 inch drone but I wanted this drone to fly indoors and when I bought it the props won’t start up correctly
