WTF mang 🫪

Partly SOLVED. I failed to check "Reverse Motor direction"🤦🏽‍♂️

Now its shooting off on it's own after giving 5% throttle. Motors ramp up until the whole thing shoots into the air.

Still struggling with this damn build. Now its not oscillating but freaking out and giving runaway errors.

Swapped the Matrix 4in1 AIO for a GEPRC Taker F405 20A AIO.

Using 2S 650mAh Lipo instead of the 18650.

XT30 instead of BT2.0

1202.5 11500kv rcinpower

HQ 2015 Props

95g takeoff weight.

Baby Ratel 2 cam

HGLRC Zeus nano VTX

Motor spin orientation and order are fine

Tested the entire build on another (regular carbon) frame, same result.

Still fckd.

Sorry for the badly lit video.

3D Printed 18650

Frame: https://makerworld.com/models/1279431

Filament: SirayaTech ABS-GF Fibreheart/Core

AIO: BetaFPV Matrix 4in1 12A

Motors: RCinpower 1202.5 GTS V3

VTX: HGLRC Zeus Nano

Cam: Caddx Baby Ratel v2

Antenna: FlyFish Osprey RHCP

Haven't flown it yet, but having trouble with no OSD in video and the sound coming from Skyzone 04Xpro headphone jack being just humming noise (even though I soldered 2 Filters into the steadyview receiver).

Also the frame isnt perfectly compatible with this cam, as i can't angle it upwards :(

EDIT: Fixed every issue except the bad audio one. Will need further investigation. Also it hardly flies. PIDs are super off and the whole thing wobbles like crazy. Can anyone help?

Wiring up VTX to Matrix 4in1 AIO

I am unsure how to wire this up.

LLMs tell me cam signal needs to go into FC to get OSD.

BetaFPV diagram says wire Cam to VTX and then to AIO.

Someone here who has done this before?

I dug around a bit and found exactly who is responsible for the new EU 3/5 Euros customs fees, here is who they are and how to hit back at them.

I dug around a bit in the public paper trail to find out exactly bought and paid for this law to screw over everyday consumers.

The answer boils down to greedy monopolies with political connections being afraid of real competition because efficiency and a superior business model are apparently "unfair"

The corpos behind the mask.

The main driving force that pressured the European Commission to kill the de minimis threshold and forced you to pay 3 euros for a 2 euro pack of double adhesive stickers is a massive monopolistic corporate lobby group in Brussels called EuroCommerce.

They ran an aggressive, well funded lobbying campaign called the #Compliance4All. They did this because they were absolutely terrified of people buying affordable

directly from global sellers instead of paying their bloated monopoly markups.

When you look at who actually sits on the governing body for this lobby, you find Europe's biggest retail and grocery monopolies pulling the strings. According to their official websitesite, this nasty group is packed with corporate lobbyists, including:

Parent Corporate Member Key Retail Brands & Subsidiaries Annual Revenue
Schwarz Group Lidl, Kaufland, PreZero €185.6 Billion
REWE Group BILLA, REWE, Penny, Toom Baumarkt, BIPA €100.4 Billion
Ahold Delhaize Albert Heijn, Delhaize, Alfa Beta, Mega Image, Maxi, Albert €92.35 Billion
Carrefour Group Carrefour, Carrefour Market, Express, Atacadão, Cora, Match €91.48 Billion
Tesco PLC Tesco, Tesco Express, One Stop €82 Billion
Inditex Zara, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius €36 Billion
H&M Group H&M, COS, Monki, Weekday, & Other Stories, ARKET €21 Billion
Colruyt Group Colruyt, Okay, Spar €11.19 Billion

They successfully convinced the EU to pass this law to bully us back into their stores and buy their heavily marked up crap. This is classic protectionist crony capitalism.

How We can legally fight back:

Don't let them force you back into their overpriced supermarkets and clothing stores. And share this with your friends. Use filters in the AliExpress app to buy products that are being shipped from Europe, and the Choice Category stacking mechanism thus skipping or reducing the fees.

Get together with some friends and buy stuff you like together preferably via the Choice option, making sure it is in the same category, then have one of you purchase it and distribute it to the others. You can even use cheap courier services that might cost less than the per item handling fee if you live far apart.

since: Boycott the likes of Schwartz and Zara and buy from local stores. Buy from local stores. Going to small so called "Mom-and-pop" stores for necessities keeps the money in your local community and puts it in your neighbors pockets, not those of some greedy corporation that does everything it can to skip taxes and stifle real competition.

Demand that these monopolies be hit with extra taxes, since many of them like Schwarz already have bad reputations for unfair competition and many national level politicians in the EU want to hit THEM with extra taxes you can support whoever wants to put such a law in place.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, so make sure you spread this message far and wide!

C03 lens is plastic. I found out the hard way

So I wanted to get rid of some light scratches in my AIR75ii cam. Bought this scratch remover paste from amazon.

First used it with a microfiber cloth, then had the fantastic idea to use a rotary tool with cottonpad buffing/polishing bit.

Customer service isn't dead after all.

I am honestly shocked by the friendly and helpful customer service of Hobbydrone.

A Skyzone 04X pro I recently bought, has issues with the receiver module only working on one of the two channels.

Most shops would have tried to waste my time, blame the error on the customer, make me jump through hoops ect ect.

They replied within minutes of my messages. No gaslighting, no BS.

Absolutely mad ❤️

Will update here how it goes.

PCB Cleaning Sponges Comparison

Took a bunch of pics to compare the ones I have, because I got midly annoyed after receiving MaAnt's "new and improved", "same product new packaging" flux absorber foam cubes.

They are now as bad as the Mechanic ones have always been. Gone is the unmatched firmness and absorption capability. They easily rip apart in use and leave specks of solvent/flux filled debris.

The new ones now also stink as bad as the rest, when they used to smell completely neutral.

The Jar version is slightly denser than the cardboard box one, but still nowhere near as dense and firm as the old ones, plus they too stink and come deformed due to higher air inclusion.

I would stay away from the lot until they get their QC under control.

The 2UUL ones are new to me. As soft as the Mechanic ones and VERY stinky. The packaging is tiny and so are the cubes. Both 2UUL and Mechanic cubes are hardly absorbing any liquid and fall apart very easily when rubbing them over SMD components. They don't stand a chance against thru hole leads.

Best overall performance is without competition still the old MaAnt cubes.

The only hope is MaAnts 130x60x20mm "Scrubbers" but one would need to cut them to size manually. They seem to be of the old MY-065 material and are incredibly dense. Will test and report if they are a viable replacement.

Tested: MaAnt MY-065, Mechanic NC800, 2UUL Firm Foam SC07.

Elite Fake?

So I create a big cart full of elite discounted items, but at checkout only a fraction of the discount (if any) applies.

What's going on here? 🤔

Struggling with Gyroflow

I'm trying to stabilize footage from an o4 lite (Flywoo wide angle lens & profile)

When I enable the stabilization, Gyrowlow violently does the opposite.

I have similar problems with my o4 pro footage (both Air units are pretty new, bought this year)

Any idea whats causing this?

Update: Was zum F bin ich lesend v3

Das Paket ist 4 mal durch Deutschland gereist, darin Geschenke zum Vatertag.

Alle Objekte waren in Luftpolsterfolie eingewickelt, darunter eine versiegelte Plastikflasche die sich zusätzlich in einer Ziplocktüte befand.

Das alles in einem Karton mit 7mm dicker Doppelwelle.

Die zweite oder dritte Reise hätte das Paket vielleicht noch überstanden.

Die Service Hotline hat dem Empfänger was von fehlerhafter Adressierung erzählt, angeblich hätte der Nachname gefehlt. Das Originallabel kam ausgeschnitten im umverpackten Karton zurück; natürlich fehlerfrei. 🙄

Nach all dem Mist weigert sich DHL nun für den Schaden aufzukommen.

Was würdet ihr als nächste Schritte empfehlen?

Es kann doch nicht sein, dass man alles richtig macht und am Ende trotzdem so gef**kt wird.

858D Hot Air Station Fix

So I've read that many of these cheapo 858Ds have a dangerous flaw, that if the fuse blows, the whole thing is live.

Wanted to fix mine according to this youtube guide, but when I opened mine I realized it looks quite different inside, basically empty.

Can someone tell me if it needs fixing or if it's okay as is (for the crappy thing it is)

Marked the spot behind which the fuse sits
