These people, these sycophants, these toadies, lickspittles and enablers will NEVER ever learn that fealty to Trump leads only one way, he'll use them up and spit them out, under the bus they go.

Every disbarred lawyer, every acolyte in disgrace shaking their tin for coins on Fox news as the lawsuits mount up.

They'll never, ever learn.

Good.

Looking for a specific set of pads on a new Happymodel aio I just got.........(2nd picture is a scale for errrrr scale, it's a shite usb microscope but each square is 100th of 1mm square)

Just doing some browsing for parts for a 3" toothpick, do you think this will be too heavy?????

^((no, I have no idea what's going on with that price either, that's $1833.45 in freedom money))

In case you missed the First Part

Here's the hilarity which ensued today. 😂😂😂

I switched the bank sort code so instead of reading 28-12-68 - I said I'd sent it to 68 -12-28 (these are made up numbers!!!!!!)

I think we might have scared them off but they've stopped responding, oh well. Thanks go my darling wife for her input as a new dwarfer (she's on Series III Ep.3 Backwards.) now after 15 years she finallllly knows why I sometimes go "beerski, budski, erttib

The bank account details resolve to a Revolut account which will soon be being looked at by the fraud department of City of Nodnol Police. Which will be nice.

I can neither confirm that I am A) A Man and B) Sans children, however if I were and I got a text like this I may assume it's a scam, and I may decide to have a little fun.

Mr Kryten and Mr Hollister are going to appear soon and I must remember to tell my "child" to give my love to Holly when they see them.

UPDATE - Part II

I only learnt them in the sim yesterday and hadn't planned on trying one today so I'm not sure if this a vague approximation of a rufio or something different.

Thanks.

Swimming in the Mid Atlantic........I'd rather not if it's all the same thanks.

R.I.P Lil' Red......for now.

My first build....awwwww

I was doing a chirp flight for tuning and it went behind a tree......RX loss about 100ft up into grass as hard as concrete, I got back in range, turtled and flew it back, it sounded a bit crunchy and I then had a look and it's a bit bent 😂

I've got a new frame on its way, quite happy it's a $10 repair but also quite happy that's the first big one out of the way and it doesn't bother me a bit (apart from the fucking goggles feed cut off on failsafe so I don't even have a comedy crash clip to share)

Build, Fly, Crash, Repeat.

Happy Flying.

I was wondering if this was a suitable selection of modes to have assigned to switches for a novice pilot with a Volantex Ranger 1600

I've been through Painless360's video but just wondered if I am missing anything critical or if you'd add anything else (rather limited on switches as I have a Radiomaster Pocket)

Manual is there but I don't think I'll be touching it any time soon.

Thanks and happy flying.

I took my 2" out this morning after applying a new preset from UAVTech, that's all I did to my drone differently to many other times I have flown here.

Suddenly I'm getting 50M range when before it was going over the 3rd field with no issues, I've checked the antenna, packet rates, version check, both TX/RX on 3.x - The only thing I have changed was the preset, I put the ELRS 250Hz preset on too in BF and selected the correct UART.

So, I've come to one of 2 conclusions, 1 something is dodgy on the AIO, or interference, so what is the likelihood that this is caused by interference? It was the same if I stood in the middle of the field as well so I don't think it's that (although there is a military base about 5 miles to the west of here)

So, before I go and add another 2g to my already fat little bastard I'd welcome any ideas to check.

Specs should you be interested: BetaFPV F4 20A Aio and RM Pocket on 250Hz

Thanks for looking and, as always, Happy Flying

*Pride comes before a fall.

After having a great flight yesterday I thought I'd take the Avata out for a relaxing cruise around the fields, the wind picked up on my last pack so thought I'd bring it on home and.....I'm not sure if hubris is the right word, overconfidence maybe.

I climbed straight into the power line, don't think I could have done that if I tried.

Battery ejected on impact so no beeper - 47 minutes looking at "Video before loss" in the goggles and 10 minutes before I was going to call it a day I found it upside down in a bush about 5 feet from where I'd been looking.

Broken prop and cracked plastic ain't no thing.

I've spent the first half of this year in Uncrashed building up muscle memory and it seems to be paying off, the flick round the pole with the roll was news to me, my brain had no part in that decision making 😂

This is my 3rd pack on the Seeker 3 (the first 2 being just before this) and the first where my hands having been a shaking mess.

Happy Flying.

Can anyone please help a n00b out?

I have recently purchased a Volantex Ranger 1600 and the included decals don't seem like they'd be very easy to see whilst I'm learning so I was wondering if something like the pictured would help?

Maybe do the wingtips as well?

If it's a good idea I was thinking of doing it with hi viz reflective tape and adding some black stripes to the bottom of the wings?

Any advice greatly welcomed 😊

Happy Flying.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I have an Arc Firehouse Strobe that I use for night flying drones.

The flight controller has a completely different pinout order to that on the GPS module so I thought I'd be all professional and shit and instead of just solder 2 pigtails together in the right order or solder 6 wires to the FC I'd make a proper JST loom to connect the two together and keep it all nice and neat.

So I borrowed a friend's crimping kit and set to it, plugged it all in, GPS gets power, coooool, where's the signal?

Of course I put the fukkin' TX and RX the wrong way round. 😂

I've swapped them now and all is copacetic.

Debated if I should put this in r/shittyfpv

My wife ordered a skirt online here in the UK and on the payment screen this popped up!!!

Never seen it on a website before and especially on one that is probably a drop-shipper or if it isn't they aren't selling bespoke tailored one-off handmade items that may be worthy of a tip.

So, if I get this right, my wife places an order, via an automated system, that then gets sent to a warehouse electronically, where someone picks it off a shelf, puts it in a bag and sticks a sticker on the bag, and that's worthy of a tip?

The insidious creep.......

For context, the minimum wage in the UK for over 21's is £12.71 which is $16.97 equivalent.

Also, who the fuck tips for something they haven't got yet?

I was shopping for a Mobula 8 85mm drone (95mm drone for scale) and I accidentally got a Volantex Ranger 1600. 😂

I have my colour coded shoes on to tell my port from starboard. 😉

Speedybee F405 wing and DJI going in and going to run it on 3s1p 4000mah.

I'm very excited to start on my fixed wing Odyssey.

Any recommendations for good resources for a n00b? I have found Painless360 and Andrew Newton and wondered if you had any tips or tricks.

Happy flying.
