This hobby is hard and expensive!

Just past week 1 of this hobby. I've been flying indoors and already broke my prop guards, one of the motor seems stuck and I already trimmed a lot of my indoor plants. I didn't realize I'd have to start soldering so early on.

I'm enjoying learning new things in this hobby, but it is hard. I'm going to go back to the simulator for a while.

Meteor 75 pro (analog).

Just ranting after my latest session where I successfully entered my kitchen from my living room! Yaay

Homebrew Meteor75 Pro II

Fully expecting to be roasted...

Decided to build my own version of the Meteor75 Pro II for fun, but partly since I'm still fairly new to the hobby and just got a pair of HDZero goggles I didn't realise that DJI was locked down to their own goggles and VTX hardware, so that meant the 04 unit is waiting in the box.

So with new knowledge, decided to give the HDZero whoop VTX 2 and the Run cam HD Nano Cam V3 a go for the time being. I might later use them both for another build or maybe racing.

But as I plan to use this to film 1:10th scale RC drifting in a trip to Japan at the end of the month, I've taken the plunge on the DJI N3 goggles.

Now just waiting for a new canopy so I can change this one out and keep the HDZero unt in the one currently fitted.

Running:

Flywoo Goku F405HD

Flywoo 1002 23500kv motors

Hq prop 1.8x1.1x4 (45mm)

Coming in at 35 grams dry and 50 grams with the BetaFPV HV 580's

Anyone help with a name for this guy?

First day sad day

just received air65 ii champ, first time flying air mode , noticed my antenna was missing after flight. Probably somebody had the same issue, but didn’t find anything, I may have a elrs spare antenna lying somewhere.

Vtx gets really hot after plugging in lipo.

So I crashed today. Unfortunately my rx signal got lost and my meteor 75 pro ii 04 dropped from pretty high. I tried flying it again and It wouldn’t connect to my goggles and then I noticed my antenna was missing and it got really hot. I found the antenna, put it back on and it still didn’t connect and it got super hot very quick after plugging the look battery in. All I could think of is there’s a short somewhere and it gets my vtx super hot. The board looks fine and can’t really notice anything wrong with it. Can anybody confirm my vtx is cooked?

Meteor 75 help

Only had my meteor 75 a few days and after a crash it appears this wire is loose and my camera has gotten much worse. Am I screwed? Any advice is super helpful I’m incredibly new to this.

Trying freestyle seriously for the first time

Llevo volando como un mes, casi todo el tiempo nomás dando vueltas tranquilo con el roll ocasional o un powerloop.

Hoy quise exigirme un poquito más. Nueva canción, nuevas tasas, y probando cosas que solo había hecho antes en el simulador. Estos fueron mis últimos 2 packs de 16.

Hay un montón por mejorar, pero la verdad me la estoy pasando muy bien con esto. ¡Ojalá con práctica vaya mejorando!

HDZero Goggles 2 vs SKY04X Pro with Air65 II — How Different Is the Analog Image Quality?

I used to think that as long as you were using the HDZero Goggles 2, it would process all analog video feeds into one consistently clear analog image. But I recently realized that the final image quality can still vary depending on the camera and VTX being used.
That also makes me understand why I’ve seen people using the HDZero Goggles 2 who still say that their analog image isn’t particularly clear. Is my understanding correct?
I’m currently planning to buy a BETAFPV Air65 II, and I’m trying to decide between the HDZero Goggles 2 and the SKY04X Pro.
If I use the exact same Air65 II, with its stock C03 camera and analog VTX, and compare the HDZero Goggles 2 with the SKY04X Pro, would there be a significant difference in the actual analog image quality?
What I care about most is image clarity and detail. I understand that the two goggles use different receivers and image-processing methods, but I’d like to know how noticeable the difference actually is with the Air65 II specifically.
Would the HDZero Goggles 2 look noticeably clearer, or would the difference be relatively small in real-world use?
I’m a little worried that the stock camera and VTX on the Air65 II might limit the image quality anyway, so even if I spend more on the HDZero Goggles 2, the actual image might not be as clear as I expect.
Sorry if this is a basic question. English isn’t my first language, so even after translating information I find online, there are still some things I don’t fully understand. I’d really appreciate it if anyone who has actually used these two goggles with the Air65 II could share their experience. Thank you!

Anyone else nervous about charging at work?

I'm in an office building and I just look at the carpet and other things around and wonder what if....where do I even discard this if on fire? Automatic termination? I can't be the only one 😱

Should i twist the wires?

I am thinking about unscrewing the motrs and twiste the wires a little so they wont be that loose do you think its a good idea? I just bought that drone it came like that.

65 champ

Finally got my hands on a 65 champ … a little OP from what I’m used to but felt amazing but I’ll stick to 30,000kv motors 😂

Dad got the old RC car out to test it, got my whoop out to chase it

Not many interesting places around me to fly, probably the coolest thing I've gotten on video so far.

Behold the octa-charger

1 USB-C PD trigger module;
1 stepdown module;
4 tp4056 charging modules;

I even managed to get all inside a cardboard box for house fire maxxing.
I’ll not operate this unsupervised btw.

Broken Tinyhawk 3 (Help needed)

Hey everyone

This is my first post here and I've only recently gotten into the hobby. I hope you can help me out a little here :)

Here's what happened:
I discovered that there was a Tinyhawk 3 just sitting around at my workplace. I charged everything sufficiently and fiddled around with it a little. After being able to hover it in air mode for a few minutes I wanted to change the battery. I plugged in a 600 mAh battery with the same voltage (3.8v) and it immediately started smoking and the connector started to melt. Two of the motors spun up, there was smoke, I unplugged the battery and now the drone is dead.
No spin up, no lights... nothing.

Is there a way to save the drone somehow? From the research I did, it seems I fried the connector (and the capacitor that was attached to it?) and the AIO/ESC.
Could I maybe still use the motors, the camera modules and the frame for a DIY/frankenstein build or something? How would I check if I possibly fried those too?

Sorry for the lengthy post. Thanks in advance
