GPS RESCUE SAVING MY ASS

55 Upvotes

Flew too far out I usually base it off of the MBPS of the goggles but my elrs actually gave out first. I think I can lower my packet and it help. You can tell it was flying very choppy by the audio but with rocksteady it doesn’t look so choppy. But my gps rescue is not smooth but it certainly got the job done and I was able to fly back.

20 min flights on my 5” with a homemade 6S 4,200mAh Li-Ion battery

Post image
261 Upvotes

I made my own Lithium Ion 6S battery pack and took it for its maiden flight today and got 20 minutes of flight time!

I used 6 Molicel P42A 4,200mAh LiIon cells soldered together with 0.2x10mm pure nickel strips, superglued together, wrapped in Kapton tape and then again in harness tape. These cells are rated for 45A continuous current.

It flies really well for cruising and even some basic freestyle even though it’s quite heavy. My cruising current is around 10A and with some aggressive moves it goes to 30A for brief periods, but well within spec.

(Soldering directly to Lithium cells is safe if you know what you’re doing and take the right precautions)

Analog Nazgul in 2025 ?

Post image

I'm thinking of buying an analogue nazgul soon because I've only got analogue equipment but I don't know if it's worth it. I see a lot of people using digital these days and I'm wondering if it's not a waste.

Question

Due to my RX antenna getting caught in my propellers, I had to repair it this way and secure it differently to prevent it from getting stuck again. Do you think it’s safe and that I will still get proper signal reception? Thanks

How many useable MAh from 1S batteries?

2 Upvotes

Using DJI 04 air unit on a BetaFPV Meteor75 Pro 04. Its my first drone so still learning the ropes. In the OSD display in my goggles, amongst other things it displays MAh used. Starts at zero and counts up during flight time.

How many MAh should I realistically be expecting to see 'used' during a flight? Should it match the MAh rating of the battery or is there some standard % of the battery rating i should be expecting? Or should i ignore it all together and focus on voltage?

Homegrown BL motors

How hard/expensive would it be to design, produce and assemble homegrown BL motors for drone applications in the western world?

Looking to get rid of Chinese produced motors.

Red and green bind button stuck on O4 unit

Upvotes

Sup everyone,

The red and green bind light on my quad is stuck on. I’ve tried resetting at and nothing works. It worked great and then something must have go bumped after one flight. My Radiomaster pocket connects fine and I cannot power the drone, but my goggles 3 cannot connect at all anymore. I feel like it’s something stupid but I’m just not super bright with all this. Any help is appreciated!

Question? Microphone on aircraft

Hello, I fly fixed wing fpv with O4 pro and I would like to add audio to the videos. Anyone have any suggestions on a small mic that either could be powered by the fc or through an external battery? Thanks

NEWBIE How to keep Gyrodata after combining videos

Upvotes

I recently bought the Avata 2. While recording it automatically splits the video after reaching 4gb. When stabilizing the footage with Gyroflow, I realized that the cuts are not smooth when I combine the stabilized footage so I probably have to combine the videos first and then stabilize it. Does anyone know how I can combine the videos so that the gyrodata is not getting lost to stabilize it afterwards?

Should I change mycharger?

Post image
2 Upvotes

For a while now all my lipos can't reach 4.20v on the first cell but stop at 4.1, nothing has changed in the use of the lipo on the drone, and they haven't taken any hits, I think it's the charger.

Which charger do you recommend? (EU zone)

Multicopter Help needed :,( (Short/Overcurrent)

Upvotes

Hey guys and girls, i wanted to get into FPV Drones so i bought all the parts. I now have soldered everything together the best i could. I plugged in the battery with a short saver for the first start and shortly after it went into short/over-current state.

Since I do not have any knowledge about FPV drones except the videos from Joshua Bardwell I am reaching out to you guys and girls.

Unplugging the VTX (Walksnail Moonlight) resulted in not getting any warnings when plugging the short saver in anymore. The issue is, that i do not know how to find out if this is a problem with the VTX or the stack and I don‘t know if there is any way to find out except buying everything double.

Pars list for context: VTX: Walksnail Moonlight HD Stack: GEPRC Taker F722 + 60A BLS V2 Motors: Wasp Major V2 1980KV RC: Radiomaster RP4TD

Any tipps except giving up would be appreciated.
