Racing myself without gates, no mates, on low rates.

Quick rip through a random course around my house before cleaning up for the night. FPV Lap Timer is the name of the app if anyone is curious.

Got fired from my software developer job so created a phone camera based lap timer while looking for work.

Before anyone asks, I built this using Cursor so it is definitely an AI assisted, but far from vibe coded.

It lets you setup a fleet to compare stats across your drones for various tracks, does screen recordings of your sessions, and lets you race your previous best sessions for tracks which I call ghosts.

It's been fun to develop and very fun to play with! Certainly adds a new dimension to casual flying indoors and outdoors.

Best alternative career for mid-career software developers

Any options that have a similar level of abstract thinking, problem solving, and building as an alternative career for mid-career software developers?

Is this a terrible place to have a capacitor for a 4s build?

Is this a dumb place to have my cap? It's for a volador 3.5. Cap leads have clear heat shrink and one is wrapped in kapton tape. I've also put a dab of silicone conformal coating around the power pads.

Anyone here have a B6 Neo+ that does this when nothing is connected to it's output?

I have a B6 Neo (non + version) and the voltage is stable when nothing is connected on the other end. Don't want to burn my house down due to a faulty charger.

I got a super old Mobula 7 which I have added ELRS to. Can I really use 2S on this thing even though it uses 0802 16000kv motors?

I have been told that 2S on high KV motors like this will lead to a bad time..

How do I set my Mobula 6 Freestyle (AIO5 with Lux cam) to 16:9? I must be doing something wrong

I have set the camera to 16:9 in the camera settings, but it just results in a very squashed 16:9 - it is not filling the available width in my HDZ Goggle 2. Is there some other setting I need to apply so that it stretches? I checked the firmware version of the VTX and it's 1.6.0 if that matters..

I’ve already got an older pair of fatsharks and skyzone o4x v2 should I consider hdzero?

Someone is willing to sell me their pair with truerc antennas for 550USD is it worth grabbing them or is it not justified by current analog setup? I only fly analog..

Are racers constantly full throttling their whoops?

I've been trying to get faster and realised I never go full throttle mostly due to fear of disintegrating my whoops and also because it feels like it must be hurting the battery (I have no idea if this is true or not).

Are you guys punching the throttle whenever you're not turning or coming up to a turn?

Has anyone tried these? I know they're expensive and there are heaps of better options on the market but just curious if they're any good despite their awkward pricing.

Couldn’t get my hands on a kayoumini in Australia so I just slapped together something this dumb thing. The measurements are probably completely off the real thing but being 3D printed I was able to add a bunch of bracing to the arms for extra rigidity. I don’t have any 450mah 2S batteries so it looks a bit silly and feels heavy. 90g AUW with the 550 battery and an external analog vtx. It seems to fly okay though.. just need to figure out how to keep the battery wires out of the way. It’s PLA+. In conclusion, I don’t know what I’m doing

One of my MOSFETS blew, causing one motor to not spin at all. So I removed it and tried to spin up the motor it was driving and it spins in one direction. How does this work? Can I just use the AIO as is with one less FET for that motor?
