[00:01:38] hey friends my name is Aaron Ciotti everybody calls me Ciotti welcome to the show that was ripping around at castle crash that'll be the next tiny whoop freestyle edit I haven't really started
[00:01:52] it I I did first pass which was to go through the like almost four 40 batteries that I flew there and what's happening over here of course of course I forgot something why not why remember things
[00:02:12] when you can forget them instead that's better so I did the first pass and cut out like all the total garbage next step in my sort of workflow is to find music that works so like
[00:02:28] while I'm doing that first pass I'll leave I'll leave Spotify going on random in my liked songs and eventually a song will pop up that kind of fits that happened once and
[00:02:45] I used that song in the one edit that I put up Mobula 6 2024 shredding at castle crash or whatever the hell it was which went up on Saturday I think there's Maybe one or
[00:03:00] two other songs that I'm kind of digging for it but it's I I might keep looking I don't know the since it's analog footage the this like new wave of like 80s 90s Retro Music fits pretty well
[00:03:17] but I'm kind of saving a bunch of those songs for analog drift edits so I don't know we'll see we'll see this is what we're working on tonight this is all of my newbie drone
[00:03:32] stuff and it's just been in a build bag in like the on Deck Circle and it's time it's time to kind of go through it and see what we got it looks like there
[00:03:46] are five aios here some of these are backup aios for the tiny lifters but at the same time I've got two tiny lifters so one of them is sort of a backup in in and of itself
[00:04:05] and so I don't need this many sort of backup setups looks like I've got a hummingbird V3 this will more than likely get let's take this acrob B AO out of here this hum well actually it
[00:04:23] says right on it let's see hummingbird V3 so this is probably going to get set up on this cockroach light this is a very lightweight aiio so I'm probably going to pair it with a light AF frame
[00:04:41] and these this is a set of 29,000 0702 newbie drone Motors probably 29 perfect 0702 newbie drone 0702 bearing 29,000 KV Motors these actually make more power than the
[00:05:02] HappyModel 29,000 even though these are marked 29,000 they make the power of like a 32 or 33,000 KV 72 so this will probably be a ripper of a of a setup and I think I'm going to sort
[00:05:17] of prioritize that I think this is the first thing that we're we're going to work on so I'm going to put that dead center we'll go with a red goober canopy and we'll have a cool red and
[00:05:31] white thing to match the logo no screw you that'll be super cool and what else do we got get off of there get get all right so I just got to put a BT 2.0 in there
[00:05:53] and it's pretty much it plug some stuff in and away we go I've also got a version two hummingbird which is kind of interesting I don't have any experience with this
[00:06:11] hold on let me make sure that's what it is it says it says in the back of the board yep hummingbird version 2 I have no experience with these but I think they're elrs right anybody know
[00:06:24] that for a fact the motors that this has are the 802 27,000 it looks like the VTX is hooked up to the camera I'm going to let's see what this ways it's on kind of a heavy frame here
[00:06:49] if it's heavy it's going to go into a 75mm setup so that it's got more cushion for the [Laughter] [@$#%] wow that is the fattest 65 MIM rig of all time
[00:07:18] 25.36 G holy Christ that is such a heavy 65 oh my God yes this Frame is heavy yes these motors are heavy but this AO camera external VTX canopy setup must also be heavy so that's an
[00:07:44] easy decision this is going to go into a 75mm build perfect so cool I I'll get a I'll I'll get to see what a humming hummingbird V2 is like this this is a handdyed meteor
[00:08:04] 75 airframe from Tiny woop.com that's why it's this really cool like royal blue color and the motors in here this is kind of funny these are hummingbird V3
[00:08:16] 0802 I think they're 27,000 right n 25,000 which is the same as these motors that are on here so it doesn't really matter which of these motors we go with but these are already bolted
[00:08:33] down so I'll probably leave these on it and that's kind of funny hummingbird Motors V3 hummingbird Motors on a V2 hummingbird very cool so that we will probably knock out as well because
[00:08:49] that should be a pretty quick pick it up out of the frame unplug the motors drop it into the other frame it's not on BT 2.0 I'm going to have to change the the pigtail over but other
[00:09:02] than that that should be fairly straightforward as well then I've got three ACR aios I flew this not too long ago and it was all right the problem with this is so this is a
[00:09:24] 1s setup with the Newbie drone 1102 I'm not sure what KV these motors are man they they write the KV is so small 19,000 KV Motors these newbie drone Acro B
[00:09:41] aiio will take 2S this thing on 1S is like somewhat kind of acceptable but the problem is every single time you crash you have to take the walk 1S just does not have
[00:09:58] enough power to push Blades of grass out of the way and that's super annoying so screw it we're going to put this on to 2S these motors are probably about right I'm going to have to motor limit
[00:10:10] them down a little bit but what's really cool about these newbie drone frames is they give you these little they give you these little TPU battery holders for the bottom and they give you
[00:10:25] two two different kinds One S with just a little hole for a 300 MH battery and 2S with two little holes for two little 300 MH batteries so we're going to use this one we're going to
[00:10:42] switch it over to this one get it on the 2S and then the and I'm going to run the little double bt2.0 the Double bt2.0 connector so that we can run double
[00:11:03] 300s and that'll be pretty awesome I technically have those on here but I cut them the reason that I cut them is to run 450mah batteries I just cut like the center part out and then that has
[00:11:18] allowed me to just stuff a 400mah battery in there I'm going to take these off of this 2 and 1/2 in mosquito frame and I'm going to put them on this adorable little tiny
[00:11:30] boy 1.6 in frame look at that little guy so that I can run the bigger batteries on this I'm going to need an angry set of motors for this though this this is fat like I'm realizing that one of the big
[00:11:53] problems with these carbon fiber ductless tiny whoop sized rigs is they get really heavy really fast as an example so this has this clears 1.6 in props I bet you we could put the 40
[00:12:08] the the 45mm props on here and it'll it still looks like it'll clear but just to give you an example right this is a fairly heavy plastic framed 75mm rig because of the camera canopy external
[00:12:22] VTX setup it's 282 gram this guy this is on 1102 Motors big big ass Motors 28 and 12 gram this guy on little 802s good God is 29 12 gram so way smaller Motors on this but it's still
[00:12:43] a gram heavier that has also made me realize why these little carbon fiber builds fly like ass because they they're heavy they're too goddamn heavy and then we go and we
[00:12:57] fly them outside and that makes some feel even heavier because outside you're you're flying really big right like if if you were able to fly these inside at least it would be like all right I'm
[00:13:08] going to swall space so the fact that the power to weight ratio is [@$#%] doesn't matter but we don't do that we go ripping around outside and so this is currently on 802 27,000 KV
[00:13:23] Motors 802 27,000 if oh these are 1 mm shaft Motors those 45 mm props are all 1 and a half millimeter I don't know what to do with this the camera and canopy is a little bit
[00:13:51] heavy [@$#%] I don't know what to do with this 8 02 27,000 H I'm not sure it's really needs really powerful Motors but newbie drone uses their specific plugs I can't do a 702 on it cuz it's
[00:14:24] turning these big propellers it needs at minimum an 802 could do the Newbie drone 1102 what's the highest KV 1102 that newbie drone sells that newbie drone makes I'm also kind of trying to keep
[00:14:48] these all on newbie drone stuff here we go Motors and all right so 1404 702 802 there's the there's the motors it's on now 802 27,000 they're not terrible but they're not enough here
[00:15:08] we go 1102 all right so that there's only there's 10,000 and there's 19,000 and 19,000 is nowhere near enough KV you guys know all about that we talk about that all the time
[00:15:22] so I'm going to have to go away from newbie drone for motors for this thing to get any kind of performance out of it maybe BetaFPV 1102 22,000 and then put the big put the big
[00:15:45] propellers on it the big 45mm propellers on it check this out so I think that's going to be the I think that's going to be the deal here the BetaFPV meteor 75 pro has the 1102
[00:16:05] 22000 on the big 45mm props and this thing flies great and this Frame is really heavy this build oh that's what we're doing for sure this build is 31.8 gram so at 31.8 grams this thing
[00:16:24] flies great with these motors and props I can put these same Motors and props onto this thing it'll gain a little bit of weight but it won't I mean it's at 29.4 now on
[00:16:37] 802s it'll probably end up being about the same weight as that that actually could be really cool that could be really cool to have these two be roughly the same weight on the same motors with the same
[00:16:54] propellers for a little head-to-head of duck versus no ducts know what I'm saying the bigger props will absolutely clear on this this could probably clear 2in props to be honest but the the
[00:17:13] 2in props are awful heavy cool so that's what we'll do with this and I said I'm going to put the the little battery holders on it that'll let that'll let it hold a 450 MH battery
[00:17:26] all right good deal this is probably not going to get done tonight because I'm going to need to find a set of those 1102 Motors I'm going to need to deser the leads from them and I'm going to
[00:17:38] need to solder on a set of the newbie drone specific leads unless I direct solder the motors which is still a total pain in the ass but I mean it's not that bad
[00:17:59] this would be a good candidate for direct soldered Motors because it's not inside of a pain in the ass plastic frame one of the things I hate the most about direct soldering Motors on Tiny
[00:18:09] whoops is you have to then push the motor itself in a lot of cases through small holes in the frame and it's just a pain in the ass some Motors won't fit the motors will never fit with the props
[00:18:22] on so you always have to take the props off it just sucks this is a carbon fiber frame that's not an issue right like this is like a regular FPV build where you can just run the wires straight to the
[00:18:35] pads so and I'm going to be struggling for every bit of power I can get on this thing so this would make an awful lot of sense to build as a to direct solder this I have a feeling that's what I'm
[00:18:56] going to do that's more than likely going to be the deal cool we've got plans in the chat crom was first Dexter was second sebb D Frank Nicholas Andrew Taylor rock

[00:20:04] Monday I might push that stream to 10 o'clock because there's just no reason to have both of us streaming at the same time and but 8 o'clock now this is I like this a lot because
[00:20:21] there's it's like Sunday at 3 for the European crowd Monday night at 8 for East Coast Co us Wednesday night at 10:00 for West Coast us and then Friday at 7

[00:21:26] they did that I think they defaulted everyone to not Auto renew because I've been steadily losing a lot of people it could just be that FPV is shrinking a little bit could I don't

[00:23:31] what stack are you using on the 2 and 1 half inch qav pro it is a mish mash I I have very old electronics that won't die because quite honestly I don't fly them all that
[00:23:49] much but a lot of the majority of my rigs have like a weird mish mash of like in most cases they have Talon F7 flight controllers which were made by CL racing I bought a whole shitload
[00:24:04] of those flight controllers when they were really cheap and they last and they they hold up pretty well so most of my rigs kind of across the board have those flight controllers in them esc's
[00:24:16] are all over the damn place over the years when I see an ESC that's been like $30 $40 I've just snagged it and I just put it into a box so situation is all over the goddamn place
[00:24:31] if I had to guess that rig maybe has like an iflight I don't even know what model it is but the ESC situation is all over the place with with most of my builds I I don't really have anything I
[00:24:46] don't think I have any builds that are using electronics that you can currently buy I think that every single build is on discontin continued Electronics because like every 6
[00:25:02] months every manufacturer discontinues everything comes out with a whole new line of stuff that's in a different color that has a pad in a different position and
[00:25:14] they say oh my God it's the greatest flight controller of all time we moved the gyro a give us your money and we do we do because we're high on Crack crack
[00:25:43] cocaine kinetic says yoyo what are your thoughts on the Newbie drone stuff nowadays the version three hummingbird AO I was really excited about
[00:25:59] really lightweight that's the main thing I was excited about but then I had two of them in a row that the the built-in vtx's blew up on crashes that were not all that angry and then I just said
[00:26:17] to hell with it I think they sent me one more I can't think of another reason why I would have this one but I kind of moved on and so this has just sort of been sitting I didn't even know I had
[00:26:27] this and so third times's a charm H I don't know newbie Dr look here's the the long and short about newbie drone stuff it's made for newbies thus the name newbie drone and so their stuff is not
[00:26:47] necessarily made for those of us that are like really deep into the hobby the the the motor plug situation they use a unique I mean it's Unique to them but all it is
[00:27:00] is jst one 1.0 versus the norm which is 1.25 but that use other people's motors with their aios on their new on their new aios though they do have direct solder pads and they are nice big
[00:27:15] pads I don't know the Newbie drones had a tough run in terms of reliability lately which is frustrating admittedly but any company that's willing to take on the challenge of gearing their stuff and
[00:27:34] Catering their stuff to beginners I'm totally cool with that I have no interest in being like the guy that helps hundreds of people get up in the air for the first time that's not
[00:27:47] what I'm good at that's not what I find to be fun can I do it sure of course but it's just not it's not my deal it's really hard to do that I don't know how Joshua continues to do it you know
[00:28:02] answering the same like three or four super beginner questions over and over and over and over again just drives me nuts and I've I've moved to like I I've I've really spent the majority of
[00:28:16] my time not thinking about the best way to get brand new pilots up in the air but to take Pilots that are already up in the air that are starting to get good and help them get great that's what I
[00:28:30] find to be really fun that's what I feel like I'm really good at and so that's sort of my Approach over the years newbie Jour has had a bunch of stuff that I've been really excited
[00:28:40] about that I thought would work for me and my gear and the acro B boards have been great in the tiny lifters tiny lifters are a pretty specific sort of build but their
[00:28:55] acuros have been great in that in those two rigs I've not had a ton of luck with their stuff elsewhere mainly the durability has been the the problem with their stuff once I crash really hard and
[00:29:10] really often and when I when I see their stuff getting crashed really hard it just doesn't hold up as good as some of other stuff out there like some HappyModel stuff not all HappyModel stuff
[00:29:21] but some of it and that's tough so I I I Kelvin has been my contact over at newbie drone for a long time and he's always been super super super cool with me I've had to do returns with newbie
[00:29:39] drone and they've always been super easy to deal with I love the company I wish they I wish the manufacturer that they work with to make their aios and whatnot would figure out how to
[00:29:57] make them durable because they use more they use fets that are more than 5 amp so it could be an answer to this 75mm 1S high power thing that we've yet to really figure
[00:30:13] out speaking of if anybody sees an X12 with elrs in stock somewhere please let me know it's looks like they're absolutely out of stock everywhere I hope to hell that doesn't
[00:30:25] mean that it's been discontinued because I I don't know where else to go for a tiny whoop elrs VTX on board AO that's got fets that are more than 5 amps and motor
[00:30:41] plugs so keep your eye out for me if you don't mind or if you got a buddy that's like selling an X12 let me know but I I also wish that they would move back to a regular OSD chip
[00:31:00] although I mean nowadays with digital stuff it's matters less I I would be super interested in I they already they have it a newbie drone AIO 1 to 2S AIO with no OSD
[00:31:26] whatsoever built in and then we run a WalkSnail VTX on it that would be cool for this build actually maybe that's the direction that this build goes although the problem is I I think that's
[00:31:42] an expensive AO I know that they have it though so if I go into newbie drone and then flight controller and ESC I think it's this one HD Express lrs hold on let me look elsewhere oh
[00:32:04] that's right all their aios are are $80 90 $809 $100 so it would be this one 100 bucks is kind of steep but this could be really good if the BetaFPV AIO does not work out one to
[00:32:28] two saio doesn't work out oh what though the problem is going to be the USB port I don't know I'll cross that bridge when I get to it this probably has a regular USB it does it's got a
[00:32:42] regular old big tall USB port on it so I don't know I don't know built-in Els is great though nice great big row of pads here on the side that's kind of nice two big old
[00:32:56] connectors but this is for their acrob B 75 HD which is a really powerful rig wow 20 amp fets on this thing geez we could push this really really really hard mpu 6000 too that's really
[00:33:13] cool that's something that I love about newbie drone is they they have a well their manufacturer has a ton of mpu 6000s so most of their aios have the best gyro
[00:33:27] in the world oh man speaking of I watched the last grand tour last night and cried like a [@$#%] baby man boy that was tough in absolutely incredible though like just perfect absolutely perfect
[00:33:51] final installment of Jeremy Richard and James I started watching Top Gear in college so we're going over 20 years back at this point and I have I have very closely followed them and and
[00:34:14] downloaded every single thing that they make I have probably 20 plus of their books Ben Collins's book about being the Stig loads of I I've read two of Richard's books one of them about the
[00:34:36] the crash and the Jet Car scary [@$#%] I have a ton of James ma books I have a whole bunch of Jeremy Clarkson's books I've just been such a fan of those three guys I I have I I've downloaded
[00:34:50] like everything that they've done just as hosts on BBC television it's all like such such such good stuff and I was I mean they're [@$#%] old man they're they're like deep in
[00:35:04] their 70s and it's the right move it's amazing that they've lasted this long but that was that was tough man that was tough to I mean they were getting a
[00:35:20] like when when when somebody else gets emotional it kind of hits you but it's triggers a lot of a lot of memories like I have memories from College of like
[00:35:33] discovering them and starting to download them and just being like Oh my God these guys are insane this is the coolest thing ever more more more I need more I need more I need more
[00:35:44] and it's wild meor and so in the in the finale they at the end they went to the end of their first big adventure that they went on and they they went like shot for shot and and
[00:36:06] filmed it the way that they like put the cars in the same spots and they walked the same little path they walked up to the same tree it was wild cuz I remember I
[00:36:16] remember that first special that they did across I want to say Namibia across Africa it's one of the best specials of all time they took aan a mercedesbenz and
[00:36:33] Oliver Oliver was Richard Hammond's car which was a son of a [@$#%] I forget what it is but it was a crazy adventure like they were sinking in the they were sinking in
[00:36:46] the Salt Flats they they had to like lighten the cars up they pulled the doors off like it was just an unbelievable Adventure and I don't know it's just so cool so much like Richard fell in love with
[00:37:03] the car and had the car ships back up to Britain and then he ended up restoring it and just just amazing amazing stuff so if you if you're at all a Top Gear fan or a grand
[00:37:16] tour fan the their last adventure is up there it went up three days ago four days ago and it's brilliant it's absolutely brilliant for sure watch it and hell of a celebration of
[00:37:34] the careers of three friends that like Against All Odds and in the face of like lots of adversity stuck together every step of the way and never sold out
[00:37:50] never like they had like an Unwritten agreement between them that if they were going to do correlated content they would do it together and that was it like they were a package deal from like
[00:38:03] early days until this special that they filmed last year and was released this last weekend what who who else has ever done that what what
[00:38:15] three actors actresses musicians like well I guess musicians do it all the time not often though band band members leave all the time right but it's s that is incredibly rare right and I'm
[00:38:28] sure that each one of them got many many many offers really lucrative offers over the years to do things without the other two and they would always say no they would do weird random stuff but
[00:38:42] car related stuff it was they were a package deal and that's wild and brilliant because the three of them are amazing together and for them to have taken car related stuff
[00:38:59] outside of that it would have kind of diluted what they have together and brilliant stuff so check that out that was that that was that was wild to watch that last night it's like it was it and
[00:39:17] and just again brilliantly done arguably the best adventure that they've done super unscripted this time and you can you can really tell and their friendship is
[00:39:34] just incredible just like the banter between them and they're they're three incredibly witty human beings and then for them to get together around cars and make fun of each other and
[00:39:48] make fun of each other's cars and oh man it's just magic absolute magic I'm so lucky to gotten to discover them in my early 20s and follow along every step of the way I've I've
[00:40:04] watched most of their stuff live at not live but like as it's come up over the years I I got caught up pretty quickly there early days and then I would find a way to watch their
[00:40:16] stuff like pretty pretty soon after it was released even though in those early days it was really difficult cuz their stuff would get released on BBC television and that was kind of it's
[00:40:28] so I would have to find it on torrent sites from people in England that pulled it down and y y y so that was wild that was wild Walter says what's up Professor biohazard says did you weigh your
[00:40:43] grinder Rino after it was all put together I did it's like 280 grams I think it's a fat one but I I that's what I wanted I I wanted it to be a fat Porky bastard
[00:41:00] because it's kind of a heavy frame it's a heavy frame it's a Basher frame I knew I was going to put these big fat 1804s on it at the moment I have it on 3 and 1 half inch props it's
[00:41:11] kind of just heavy enough where on three and a half inch oh it's heavier than I thought it's 203 grams Jesus Christ that would explain why it feels okay on the 3 and 1 half inch props
[00:41:29] so it's flies great it flies really really good I'm super happy with it the the WalkSnail setup is awesome I need to I need to figure out a better camera mount it's kind of
[00:41:42] popping out of the camera mount and the camera is also not really facing perfectly straight which makes flying it incredibly difficult but super happy with
[00:41:55] it St out little bastard all right thrash FPV says what size do you use for Instagram footage when you render and what tips do you have for either for either bio what or anything post
[00:42:18] wise oh oh oh just copy off other people look at successful people on there and just copy them just do what they're doing cuz the the the algorithm changes all the time the rules change
[00:42:33] all the time what works and what doesn't work change all the time there are people that have somehow managed to stumble into that stuff and what they're doing is is working and that's like the
[00:42:45] best that's the best way to kind of figure it out here's what you want for here's how to know what how to import stuff who is matt.com Matt with two
[00:43:11] T's who is matt.com is brilliant in terms of YouTube import settings and whatnot so go to his website and all right it's in the chat now he's got a whole bunch of really
[00:43:34] good content he's one of the top search results when you just Google this stuff hold on there's like a part of his website that has a for Christ sakes Google search
[00:43:56] best Instagram import settings I think you want to basically do everything in 1080 it's not as big of a deal as it used to be oh man who is Matt is not doing well on Google anymore it's
[00:44:16] interesting you want to when you do this Google Search you really want to pay attention to the dates you want to try to find an article that's recent because things change so frequently
[00:44:31] so here we go here's Adorama they got an article from January 1st of this year 1080 1080 wide the the editing in Instagram is really good nowadays
[00:44:48] so you don't like have to crop it square or anything it kind of helps too but Instagram does not want big files like YouTube that that's the that's the main thing that you want
[00:44:59] to remember YouTube you want like crazy high bit rate 4K files so that their compression algorithm works properly Instagram does not want that they want 1080 and if you give them 1080 it is going to look a
[00:45:17] lot better you can give them higher qual higher resolution but then it's not don't do that so here you go it also kind of depends on what you're doing Story versus real versus regular Old Post
[00:45:33] regular Old Post is one by one the reals are a weird ass aspect ratio 4x5 maybe I don't I think it's taller than that though but this looks like a pretty good article here by
[00:45:50] Adorama I'll drop this into the into the chat I'll do this like once once a year CE every other year I'll just do that Google search and find a number of different articles that are talking
[00:46:03] about for this year here's what you want Instagram has always been 1080 though they've always wanted the recommendation has always been to upload in 1080 so
[00:46:15] yeah post not bio but post description thrash says the other thing to remember you'll you'll see it in in those articles if you look them up there's a limit on at tags and hashtags
[00:46:30] the limit for at tags last time I checked is 10 and for hashtags it's 30 you want to hit that limit's free marketing basically so make like in my phone in in notes I have a
[00:46:50] note that's just called Instagram and then it's got chunks of hashtags and at tags I can grab and then just delete a bunch so that it's sort of as accurate as possible and so if
[00:47:03] I'm flying this newbie drone toothpick I'm GNA have hashtag newbie drone hashtag toothpick hash right like all that [@$#%] and a lot of those I've just stolen from other people just find
[00:47:14] other people that are successful look at what their hashtags and at tags are and just steal them but you do you don't want you want to try to avoid having a big
[00:47:27] chunk of that's super generic that you use on every single post right you want to be as specific with them as possible but not too specific like you like hasht
[00:47:41] 1s 260mah bt2.0 that's too specific nobody is ever going to look at that specific hashtag you want to do like # bt2.0 that is is like open-ended enough where someone is going to eventually
[00:47:59] click on that and maybe see your post and maybe subscribe but it's not so back when I used to work in SEO we would call them longtail keywords the more specific the longer the keyword is the
[00:48:15] less people are going to click on it but the more specific The Click is going to be just doing like # FPV you're going to get lumped in with millions of other people and you're not
[00:48:31] going to be able to compete with them so you want to go more specific than that but you don't want to go so specific that nobody ever clicks on it or three people in the next 10 years click on it
[00:48:42] right so you got to go like sort of somewhere in between there and so look at people that are successful steal their stuff and just think about that think about who who's
[00:48:57] what you're trying to do is have a keyword that someone that might be interested in this and or you're flying right like like your post is about this quad it's about your flying it's about
[00:49:13] maybe the location that you're at that's what you want you want to be in that mindset how can I get someone that wants to see those one of those things or all of those things what can I
[00:49:26] touch type that they would potentially search for down the road that's there you go there's a whole bunch of stuff for you to chew on Walter says is there a thought
[00:49:40] about 1 comma 5S 1.5s I'm asking smartly can't do it the the the pouches the the the pouches of the batteries are 4.2 two volts you can't like cut this pouch in half and it has
[00:50:01] half the voltage that's just not how it works so you'll you can't just it just doesn't work you can't go in between the voltages it's either 1S or 2S or 3s or 4S kinetic says what
[00:50:14] sort of magnifying device do you look at do you use for looking at small aios great question if you guys do not have a 5x Loop l u p you're on crack and you're making your life miserable
[00:50:30] this is arguably the most important tool for FPV when you're working on small stuff and it's going to cost you like five whole dollars from Amazon I probably have a link Down Below in the
[00:50:42] description if I don't just go to you just go to Amazon and type in 5x Loop l u p you can probably even spell it wrong and Amazon will hook you up but this is everything
[00:50:58] I have also fallen in love with the nerd goggles as I call them there's a million of these on Amazon just type in like magnified headset and you'll find them I really like these there's this is
[00:51:12] yako soon but you won't find that manufacturer on there you'll find 15 of these that say something different on them that look exactly like this the key to these being comfortable is to not
[00:51:26] put the batteries in here they have a stupid little LED here and then you can put batteries on the inside here but when you do that it becomes way too heavy and it pushes on your nose really
[00:51:37] hard and they become super uncomfortable so just don't run the batteries in there and these are actually really comfortable they come with a bunch of different lenses put the thickest lenses
[00:51:48] in they have the most magnification I think it's like 2 and 1/2x or 3x it's just enough but not too much the loop is 5X that's for like really looking small this is for wearing
[00:52:02] when you're trying to do soldering and stuff the the loop the the focal distance of the loop is really close so you you got to if you have it in your eyeball you got to hold the thing up
[00:52:12] like this so trying to solder with the loop you're like damn near burning your face off these with less magnification the focal distance is much farther away so you can much more comfortably solder
[00:52:26] while you have these on because your face is not so goddamn close to the work that you're doing the biggest Improvement to the quality of my work has come from
[00:52:42] these and this hands [@$#%] down flux using more flux would be like a close second but being able to see what the hell you're doing is the biggest thing
[00:52:57] and so that that is super super super important you guys should all have the nerd goggles and a 5x loop at the very least you need to have a 5x Loop the nerd goggles are a little bit more
[00:53:08] expensive but I think they're like 12 or 13 bucks so they're still really cheap and you will do better quality work and eventually not have two pads bridging together that explode an AO and as soon
[00:53:22] as that happens and you save 50 60 bucks on an AO both of those paid for themselves in orders of magnitude right thrash FPV says my whoop gets these weird ticking movements in the roll
[00:53:36] or pitch axis I changed to new HQ props because I was out of gem fans could that be more of a tune issue that is a gyro starting to fail just ignore it keep flying it eventually it'll get so
[00:53:50] bad that you just got to retire it but that's a gyro inside the gyro they've got these little things that kind of move back and forth and when you start smashing the [@$#%] out of it
[00:54:01] those things can get kind of jacked up and then they don't give you a clean signal because you got like two of these that are all [@$#%] up and it's just like wait what the fact that we can
[00:54:12] crash these rigs at all and the Gyros don't immediately explode every single crash is a miracle so it's just a part of the game gyos are super sensitive pieces of
[00:54:23] electronics and we beat these things to death and so it's just one of those things Coal Power says how much weight do you think you'd save using enamel coated wire instead of insulated
[00:54:36] motor wires my guess would be maybe. 2.3 of a gram or so it's never been enough for me to I've never been able to justify what a pain in the ass it is you got to direct solder the
[00:54:53] motors at that point the motor wires like seem to be awful fragile they probably aren't that that's probably just a it feels like situation where it actually isn't but the main
[00:55:05] issue is you got a direct side of the motors and that's a deal breaker for me that's just silly I'm way way behind on chat let me see how fast I can go through these thash
[00:55:17] FPV says by the way I used to be parkour guy I'm definitely not as fit as I used to be speaking of not being fit I I paint painted a little section of wall over here today with a paintbrush
[00:55:31] mistake number one my [@$#%] arm is just ruined it's a section of wall that's like this [@$#%] wide I mean it's floor to ceiling but like my God just that like painting motion is not
[00:55:47] is not a natural motion that you you do in life unless you're into karate old people somebody knows what I'm talking about 1B 674 says any CH any chance I could see your PID filters for your
[00:56:06] grind arena with the xn noas I have the same build and love it but looking to get it a bit more dialed in thanks I'm pretty sure it's still on stock pids those Motors and a good set of
[00:56:17] propellers are going to perform amazing on stock pids if you're going to be like selling your footage from it or you're going to be entering like a freestyle competition or something like
[00:56:32] that I can maybe see wanting to crank the pids up but like if you're just going out to fly and have fun I almost always recommend that you leave the pids alone the more aggressive you
[00:56:44] make the pids the more Fragile the rig is going to be the less you're going to be able to fly the rig like literally because at some point you're going to hammer it hard enough that the more
[00:56:54] aggressive pids are going to be too high and then you're [@$#%] around with going into the OSD and trying to back the pids off in there it's just if you do want to screw around
[00:57:07] with the pids it's unbelievably simple you take the very first slider you move it from 1.0 up to 1.2 you fly it you make sure the motors aren't getting hot you make sure it's not making any
[00:57:17] weird noises then you take that slider and you move it up to 1.4 and then you take it's a Dain slider and then you take the second slider you move it up to 1.1 so you have a ratio of 1.3
[00:57:30] to 1.1 fly it make sure the motors aren't getting hot then you go from 1.3 to 1.5 see the see what's I'm sorry 1.4 you have a ratio of 1.4 to 1.1 then you go from 1.4 up to 1.6 1.1 up to 1.3
[00:57:48] see the pattern here then you go 1.8 1.5 2.0 1.7 you want this ratio of the Dain slider being3 higher than the pain slider and the changes that you make should be 0.2 at a time because
[00:58:07] otherwise you won't be able to tell the difference that is how you pit tune that will get you a pit tune that's like 95% perfect and then you can deal with all the problems of having a more
[00:58:17] aggressive pit tune it as long as you have a working OSD it's not that bad but again always keep in mind like the the more aggressive you make the pit
[00:58:32] tune the more on edge the rig is going to be the more chance there is of you losing it forever right the hotter the motors are going to get so more stress on the motors more
[00:58:45] stress on the ESC fets and then the more the pit tune is going to cover up your mistakes which if you're trying to put good footage out is a good thing if you're trying to learn and get better at
[00:59:01] flying it's a bad thing because literally the the the more aggressive pit tune will cover up stuff like prop wash and it's actually really important to know when prop wash happens and to
[00:59:14] not put the quad into situations where it's going to have prop wash that is what makes you a better pilot when the pit tune covers that up you don't learn anything sure your footage looks better
[00:59:25] but who's watching your footage if if you've got a live stream with a thousand people watching each live stream and you want to look like a professional right but if nobody's
[00:59:37] watching your footage who are you impressing right so just keep that in mind I get it I started pit tuning very early in the hobby because I thought for sure it would make me a better pilot and I had
[00:59:51] to learn it and it was an important part and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and that was time wasted that was back I spent tons of time on it because that was back in the day that tuning was very
[01:00:02] difficult so I wasted all this time learning how to tune and then the filters got infinitely better and then the the we got things like anti-gravity and all these other
[01:00:14] specific things right so BetaFlight got so much better that learning to tune the OG pit controller it wasn't worthless but I would have been way better served and the the pilots that
[01:00:28] didn't do that got way better as pilots and got way more recognition and way more popular on YouTube than I did and I'm and I was sort of left like oh but you guys don't know how to tune so
[01:00:45] I'm what I mean so be careful with that tuning is typically kind of a waste of time in my opinion that's probably going to be an unpopular opinion but it's just an opinion I'm allowed to have
[01:01:02] my own opinions nowadays the stock pit tune flies so good and most people don't have enough of an audience and or the Right audience where footage from a better
[01:01:21] tuned quad matters to be totally honest again very unpopular opinion but I I en i i i everybody says that pit tuning is super important I love being on the other side
[01:01:41] of that and actually like thinking through it a little bit right cuz most people nobody's ever going to see their footage so what does it matter that the that the pit tune is cranked up if
[01:01:55] you're RAC okay there's a little bit of value there but like for for freestyle and for footage that's just sort of for fun Revel in the prop wash and learn learn when you're putting it in the prop
[01:02:10] wash here's the thing that that I've never heard anybody talk about when you put a quad into prop wash with a cranked up pit tune it [@$#%] hammers the battery to fight that prop wash letting
[01:02:24] it sit there in the prop wash and wobble is is is not going to hammer the battery near as hard because it the the the dirty air is just doing its thing and the quad is pushing a little bit
[01:02:37] against it but it's not pushing super hard against it the more aggressive you make the pit tune the harder it's going to push and the earlier it's going to push against that prop wash and that's
[01:02:48] hard on the battery so you can literally get more battery life out of a looser pit Tune In addition to all the other things there's there's actually a lot of positives of a less dialed in pit tune
[01:03:00] that nobody ever really talks about and it is my honor to talk about those things again unpopular opinion and Brandon's baked beans is is probably bleeding from the ears right now all
[01:03:14] that being said I tuned the [@$#%] out of all my rigs so take this all for a grain of salt but again I'm in a situation where most of my flying gets shown on live streams and
[01:03:27] like this is this is my portfolio when people want to hire me to fly a gig they come onto my YouTube channel and they start looking around and if my footage has all kinds of
[01:03:37] wobble and shake and [@$#%] they're going to be like oh my God who's this [@$#%] [@$#%] so off axis says YouTube fight for time slots make him have your thumb war make him have a have a thumb war
[01:03:52] with you to take it back Andre Taylor says lunchtime Tuesday for the kiwis and morning tea for the Aussies nice I Offa this dropp in the patreon link thank you very much dude thrash FPV says
[01:04:05] are Sim Sundays a thing now sort of you guys asked for it again and so I've done a couple of them I forgot that I I I now have uncashed this coming Sunday maybe if I remember I'll
[01:04:20] do a Sim Sunday stream about uncashed and we'll dive in there and I'll see if I can get it to fly somewhat acceptable I jumped in there for a couple of minutes right after I downloaded it and
[01:04:31] the physics were were awful and it was like bordering on being unflyable and so but I have heard from people that if you if you start dialing things in you can make it a lot better so we'll
[01:04:44] see I'm pretty spoiled veloc drone's physics are really really good and I've used veloc drone for like eight years so there's a chance that I just won't be able to connect enough with un
[01:04:58] crashed physics to really enjoy myself in there but we'll see so that's I I I also don't know if uncashed is going to be able to run while all the OBS stuff is running so that'll be
[01:05:10] interesting but we'll give it a shot 1B said no we got it Dexter says BL 32 still worth it nowadays definitely not because in Chris roster's tests it doesn't look that good anymore it
[01:05:22] seems am32 and blue J are doing pretty good first and foremost the performance differences between be 32 am32 and blue J are very small the performance differences between BL 32
[01:05:41] and am32 are pretty much negligible sure in in bench testing with bar graphs set up to show the differences between the two it looks like there is a legitimate difference
[01:05:59] between them but when you actually like look at the numbers you'll see that there's like a on like a 5 in rig making thousands of grams of thrust there'll be like a 20 or 30 gram of
[01:06:12] thrust difference you're not going to notice that nobody's going to notice that and that's going to equate to like a couple seconds of extra runtime it's not it there's no reason to go out
[01:06:23] and spend money on am32 stuff to replace your BL 32 stuff wait until your stuff blows up and then for sure get am32 because bl32 is dead like if you buy something that's on bl32 and it's on
[01:06:38] an older version of bl32 that like doesn't have RPM filtering for example you're screwed you're just you just won't have RPM filtering which is awful and so I would not recommend
[01:06:51] that anybody buy anything BL heli 32 moving forward because they've completely locked it down and you can't update it and that's absolutely insane and ridiculous so buy am32 stuff
[01:07:03] moving forward but there's no reason to if you have something with BL 32 run it like like you're not going to get a substantial Improvement so just keep running it until it explodes and then
[01:07:16] replace it so bl32 is totally fine it flies great everything that I have is actually on it and everything still flies awesome you will not notice a difference with am32 and blue J
[01:07:31] actually does not perform as good as BL 32 just because blue jay is 8bit 8bit is never going to outperform 32-bit on an es on the ESC side but again the difference is pretty small I I've never
[01:07:44] been able to tell a difference and so move forward and destroy everything you've got levitated FPV says can I ask what a heavy SL lightweight for a 2S carbon 2in might be in your opinion oh I
[01:08:01] have no idea I don't have any of those rigs so I I I have no idea I guess it's Levi tated I I'm not in the 2in thing I just built the first 2S rig with that WalkSnail 75 the
[01:08:18] first for the first one it's the first 2S rig I've built in like four years so I'm unfortunately not the guy to ask but find find the frame that you want right like your frame choice is going to
[01:08:34] be based typically based around where do you want to put the battery top or bottom do you want props in view right toothpick you're going to have do you want Motors in view too right so like
[01:08:47] your frame decision is not really going to be based around weight nearly as much as like geometry where the battery goes flight characteristics right and then once you narrow that down there's
[01:09:00] only going to be a couple of different frame options so that's how you buy your frame and then just look for a setup that that flies good like look at quad 66 here on YouTube quad the number
[01:09:13] six the number six he's got some great lightweigh is setups TOS a lot of 2S stuff I think jump on rotor builds look around on there and my Discord has a bunch of people that are a
[01:09:28] little bit more in that there's a there's actually a text Channel called toothpick and whoop on my Discord Channel and there's folks that hang out in there that are way more in touch with
[01:09:39] that world so jump in there and ask around a little bit that's how you figure it out smoking dog Kujo says tiny whoop sold out of the X12 the same day they got them
[01:09:49] in Jesus Adam Wesson says you might want to update the text at the bottom to say Monday at 8 but perhaps it's not permanent nope I absolutely do I completely forgot about that thank you
[01:10:03] dude Monday at 8 where do I have that text it should change everywhere right I think we're good that was the end screen this why is that not playing music all right cool good thank you for the
[01:10:27] reminder dude I appreciate that I knew I was going to forget that too hold on let me just move this a little bit that looks good Striker says Darwin FPV 30m 20 X20 stack is handling some serious [@$#%]
[01:10:45] it's been more than seven months over 1100 batteries that's an awful lot of batteries in months Jesus dude what are you flying 20 a day every day holy Christ stack has survived an entire
[01:11:02] new Quad around it everything replaced now handling these 1404 and a half 4500 is perfectly fine even on 3 and a half inch props no motor limit very cool I've heard really good stuff about
[01:11:13] darn FPV Electronics thrash FPV says what rig requ requires a shorter USB the WalkSnail 75mm 2S rigs because the there are I've only really found two frames the Mobula 7
[01:11:35] V3 and the Mobula 7 V4 on the Mobula 7 V4 to run 2S you cut two of the supports out here so that the battery goes in like this as you can see the difference between these two frames is
[01:11:51] how low the battery hangs see how much High higher up this battery is right it's like really tucked up in there it's so tucked up that it takes up the space that the USB port would be in the
[01:12:04] mobula 7 V3 frame is okay but the ducts are really deep and so on a 2mm High motor like the 102s the tips of the propellers bang into the supports on the ducts and so
[01:12:22] I really want to I'm probably going to end up using the Mobula 7 V4 frame where you really can't have a USB port in there which just makes everything so much more confusing unfortunately but welcome to
[01:12:39] FPV where everything is difficult thr FPV says Top Gear is discontinued what The Grand Tour well I mean Top Gear also got canceled BBC Top Gear got canceled
[01:12:56] about a year and a half ago Freddy Flint talk the the rugby player was involved in a horrific accident on Set on a BBC Top Gear shoot in a three he flipped a Morgan three-wheeler over and did not
[01:13:22] have a helmet on and when you flip a Morgan 3 wheer your head becomes the rollar and he like ripped half of his face off it's was really really really nasty stuff
[01:13:40] and so it's kind of a miracle that it took that long to happen the Top Gear is is well known to be a show with pretty loose safety measures and everybody that's ever had
[01:13:59] anything to do with Top Gear was like it's really is a miracle that someone didn't actually die I mean hey very nearly almost died and so did Richard Richard almost died in the
[01:14:09] jet car crash but scary stuff but The Grand Tour is what is now over Top Gear lives on there's Top Gear Australia there's Top Gear Singapore there's Top
[01:14:28] Gear I don't know if America got cancelled but Top Gear lives on around the world Jeremy Clarkson Richard Hammond and James May will it's not looking like they will
[01:14:42] ever work on another car related project together they are old Jeremy has his farm Richard has the smallest Cog his Restoration company and James is just a stoner
[01:15:01] genius doing cool things and so it's looking like those three won't do I have a feeling at some point though they'll they'll they'll throw us a bone and do something fun but it won't be
[01:15:12] under the The Grand Tour moniker anymore the the the crew of grand tour is no longer like employed but Grand Tour doesn't exist anymore and that was like a thing
[01:15:27] right they had their own crew and whatnot Walter says every Friday in front of Telly afterwards bar I'm jealous of you bastards in Europe that could just like watch Top
[01:15:40] Gear on TV Dexter says Top Gear is goated indeed strer says what do you think of the axis 1404 and a half I've been glazing these motors because they've been so fun you got to try them
[01:15:59] glazing I don't know what that means axis 1404 and a half I don't necessarily know if I necessarily know that they made that I've had accx 404s forever oh it's one of their cinematic ones
[01:16:17] right I'm sure they're good axis was formed from t-motor so access Motors are very similar to t- Motors and t-motor makes has always made great Motors so I'm sure these are
[01:16:31] really good I haven't really needed more Stater volume than 1404 I have a whole bunch of sets of the t-motor 1404 4600s and I've yet to really run into a scenario where I want more Stater volume
[01:16:48] I did put a set of the axis 1 154s on one of the Cinematic rigs to Chase the cyclists but then it caught on fire and so there's that but that that's interesting so axis
[01:17:08] has a 1404 they have a 1404 and a half and then they have a 1504 that's pretty slick Frosty says it really sucks they they brought a ton of us in I love for cars in Motorsport for
[01:17:20] sure for sure they they they changed they they changed the world man they they they they undoubtedly undoubtedly got hundreds of thousands of people that had no interest in cars into cars and
[01:17:40] I mean what's what's cooler than that Sher says I've tried the t- motor 1404 it's an incredible motor although I think the extra Sader volume makes the axis just perfect on 3in props i' ask
[01:17:52] seot though so we just talked about that looks like Des Dexter was asking which one is better not really a better just different if you want more Stater volume more torque more power
[01:18:14] bigger Stater will do that if you want lighter weight more runtime smaller stator pretty straightforward on 3-in propellers 1404 is plenty I've like I said a minute ago I've I've not needed a bigger
[01:18:33] amount of Stater volume than 1404 on 3in props I thought that I did for a while but then when I went back to a couple different sets of 144s I was like wow okay I've I've been running heavier
[01:18:46] motors for kind of no reason I do have a couple of heavier rigs that I am running on bigger Motors but those are fat rigs on like a 250 240 230 220 gram 3in rig a 1404 is plenty and
[01:19:03] going bigger than that you're just dragging around extra weight thrash says wait you don't cut your lios in half for weight savings Walter says I bought for €40 a GPS tractor tracker on your
[01:19:20] AliExpress affiliate link plus some more [@$#%] check if it works wish you the best thanks dude very cool I will check that out tonight for sure see if it came through just Mo says I'm definitely
[01:19:32] getting the hd0 AIO what motors would you think would give the best freestyle performance when paired with eam and Cockroach light frame HappyModel Motors and then it kind of depends on
[01:19:44] what you want if you want to fly it inside you got to get the weight down so it's 702 and then the KV is on you for me personally when when mine comes in that Kevin Sumer very kindly
[01:19:58] like sponsored and had sent to me bought for me I'm going all the way 702 40,000 KV if I want less power I can just motor limit's down and all is right with the world it's it's
[01:20:13] going to be it's a heavier AIO like the the the build on 72s is like 19 something grams I think which is kind of heavy so for me it's 702 is for sure happy
[01:20:29] model 702 is for sure to keep the weight down as low as possible and then just go ballistic out of the box it seems to fly pretty good though the the motors it's coming with are HappyModel
[01:20:40] 702 28000 when you put those Motors on a geman 129s propeller they make really decent power not enough for me but for most people it's probably going to be really good right out of the box so give
[01:20:53] that a shot Brandon Zan says tuning is like 33% of the hobby to me it wouldn't be as fun without it Brandon brings up a great point for some people tuning is a part of the fun of the Hobby and there is
[01:21:07] nothing wrong with that whatsoever don't like I'm I I need to remember that I I I kind of forget that sometimes not everybody is as into flying as I am and that that's totally fine but
[01:21:25] I I come down hard on tuning because nobody else does everybody else either says no I I just don't tune or tuning is everything and if you can't tune you're an [@$#%]
[01:21:39] and you're not a real FPV pilot and it's just it's just not true nobody really I I don't know if I've ever heard someone talk about the negatives of tuning and there aren't many but still like
[01:21:53] it's important to understand that right like you want to actually learn [@$#%] you want to really know this stuff well that's why you're here and so if there's like an unpopular opinion I'm
[01:22:07] I'm going to go out of my way to kind of talk about it so that you've got plenty of exposure to the positives of tuning let me try to figure out some of the negatives and
[01:22:16] then you can make your own mind up right like that's this this whole thing that that I've been doing for three and a half years is like I I don't want you guys to rely on
[01:22:28] me right like if I go away someday I want as many people as possible to be equipped to figure this [@$#%] out for themselves and when they're sitting there looking at a 1404 and a 1404 and a
[01:22:39] half they know which one to pick and they're they're not going to like I'll just pick one at rant right like this is I want as many people to soak up as much of this knowledge as
[01:22:54] human possible that's I I've I've always wanted to like leave a mark on the world and this is the way that I've this is the way that I've figured out how to do that and this is the
[01:23:12] best way that I've figured out how to do it I I've I've tried a lot of different things over the last 20 25 years this is the thing that I've had the most success with and that's why I will
[01:23:24] do absolutely anything to keep doing this this is this is a gift to be able to give this knowledge to as many people as possible so that they can have more fun and build things that fly
[01:23:37] better and fly more right like build more durable stuff so you can literally fly more and when you're flying have it perform better so that you have more fun and all that good stuff
[01:23:52] strer says I think tuning starts being something to consider once it starts holding you back after you develop your own style if you like doing any sort of stick bang it's
[01:24:02] essential I I I don't really see how tuning would hold anybody back really the stick bang stuff I don't know it's a mystery to me so maybe that's true I I I just it's it's
[01:24:22] just bloody eyeballs as far as I'm concerned so I don't I don't know but I I I I have a hard time I've heard this before and I've never necessarily be able to been able to connect one to one
[01:24:40] like tuning holding you back from like a freestyle standpoint because it's with with feed forward I I don't really consider feed forward tuning I I consider like the pit
[01:24:53] Loop tuning with feed forward you can dial in however much or little stick response that you want and that's kind of it like more stick response it's going to track
[01:25:10] your sticks a little bit better it's going to react a little bit quicker and that's really the only possible scenario that I can see where it could be holding you back or not holding you back
[01:25:23] because if you're going a million miles an hour towards a gap and at the last second you realize you're not lined up properly having that slight bit of extra feed forward might give you
[01:25:32] the extra little bit of time but the pids don't do that the pids fight against Bad aerodynamic situations right so the wind hits it and instead of going like this it's just drives right
[01:25:46] through it or you put it into prop wash and it wobbles versus not wobbling those things don't hold you back they make your footage look not as good but they don't hold you back
[01:25:55] there's no there's no real situation that you're not shooting a gap while you're in prop wash even if you were shooting a gap when you in pop wash doesn't matter it's going to wiggle
[01:26:04] through the Gap versus going straight through the Gap that that's not that's not holding you back right so I've I've never I understand why people say that but if you actually like think
[01:26:15] about it and you actually like look at your flying and watch thousands and thousands of hours of flight footage I I have a hard time I have a hard time figuring out where the pi
[01:26:31] and D gains could possibly hold you back from a flying standpoint if you want your footage to look in a certain way sure I get it but your footage is not your flying your
[01:26:42] footage is your footage your flying is your flying and a loose pit tune is still going to track it's still going to go the same direction so I don't know maybe that that's
[01:26:54] just me though what I will say is having a more cranked up pit tune could very well make you feel like you're a better pilot and that self-confidence could potentially make you fly better so
[01:27:10] it's not with me but everybody's different and that's okay white powder RX says I got a new X12 for you where should I message you about to get info and [@$#%] dude amazing SE
[01:27:25] fpb.cc info up on top my Instagram the Discord lots of different ways you can get in touch with me my email should be there as well whatever is easiest for you I will pay you whatever they
[01:27:40] sell for for that X12 it's will will'll work something out very cool thank you dude blizzard FPV says blizzard FPV with a $5 Super Chat and a $2 Super Chat thanks for the seven
[01:27:52] brother he says after getting the dumpster fire flight controller I'm R for from L and they will never get a set from me again there are other companies with less trash 75 watching
[01:28:04] and only 25 thumbs up you Chumps he blizzard also says the there's a lot of people that got super upset about the hummingbirds fair enough I I I was not thrilled with them either but
[01:28:20] I don't know it's hard to make good products that you can smash into stuff and they survive I've seen way way way more bad products than good products in the last eight years so and I've
[01:28:34] also seen companies like hglrc that consistently put out terrible products newbie drone is not there newbie drone does not cons like every single thing that newbie drone puts out does not
[01:28:47] catch fire when you put power to it they've made a bunch of stuff that works totally fine so they really do get like a pass from me because I can tell that they're trying and I mean they're
[01:29:02] hitting me up for feedback they're sending me stuff for testing like that's hdlc ain't doing that [@$#%] right like if a company genuinely has an interest and also you need to understand that newbie
[01:29:13] drone does not make their Electronics they they have some other Manufacturing Company in China that's making the electronics so it is that company's fault more than likely that that the
[01:29:24] electronics are not are not durable do I wish that newbie drone would bust their asses or switch manufacturers sure but it's don't just like oh newbie drone is trash maybe they have
[01:29:38] switched manufacturers and maybe the next version of the hummingbird is absolutely bulletproof right they've they've had products that have been totally fine they've had some products
[01:29:49] that haven't been try to find any FPV manufacturer that hasn't had products that are trash right the Holy Grail HappyModel with the 2g4 they've made a bunch of other aiio
[01:30:02] that are worthless the diamond AO is way worse than any AO that newbie drone has ever made the diamond AO is arguably the worst AO ever made right and so I I I refuse to just Hammer the hell out
[01:30:19] of newbie drone because the the hummingbird V3 didn't hold up really well it's sucks I wish it had but this is FPV man the quality control is is non-existent and so for anyone to make anything half
[01:30:35] decent is a absolute miracle and so my expectations are are that everything that comes out is garbage and so I go into everything like let's see how bad this is and then if
[01:30:48] it's great I'm like awesome and I think you should too because that way like if it's trash which it's probably going to be you're like well I expected that and then if it's good you're like
[01:30:59] whereas if you go into it thinking that that things are going to work more often than not it feels like sometimes they're not going to work and you're going to be disappointed what I
[01:31:09] mean so just think everything is trash and then if something's good it's a huge win Dexter says what batteries are you using on the qav pro for indoor real estate shots besides the outdoor I
[01:31:21] don't do real estate stuff so I don't know what to tell you but I run 854 s's on it and that's that for for for selecting Mah you want to take a look at how much runtime you
[01:31:39] need but you also need to pay attention to how much power the rig is producing because if you go too small on Mah the battery will get too hot so what I'll do with a new rig is I'll get like
[01:31:54] 4S 450 I'll get like a 4S 650 a 4S 850 and a 4S 1000 and then I'll run each one of them a couple of times and just log the run times and also when when I pull the battery off I'll just hold the battery
[01:32:12] for a second to see how hot it is if you take a battery off a quad and is boiling hot that battery is too low of an Mah or you've got problems with the quad but on a healthy quad
[01:32:25] there is too small of a of a milliamp the batteries will get too hot bigger battery bigger heat sink it'll shed more heat right so that's how you pick your your Mah ster says
[01:32:39] since when does axis have a 1504 I was completely unaware these existed axis does not do a good job of marketing doubles FPV says I've been lurking long enough enough so
[01:32:54] I finally jumped on the patreon thanks for what you do thank you for allowing me to do what I do brother very very very cool of you and welcome to the gangly gang brother strer says I
[01:33:02] can't fly find AIS flying 1504 where did you get yours I want to say newbie drone I believe they have them Walter van Denard says they attracted the Nerds around us to try power cars Etc we
[01:33:17] were there first Dexter says is Panasonic capacitors are the best capacitors out there they're actually essential and how to choose one lol the capacitors that you want are black and gold those
[01:33:31] are the high ESR ones easiest thing to do is that like most esc's will come with a capacitor run that one that is usually just about the perfect size for that ESC and so
[01:33:49] sixs if you're running 6s I mean it really depends it depends on the powertrain 6s 5in rig carrying a GoPro you're going to want at least a 470 if not a 1,000 and then they just get
[01:34:03] smaller from there that's a tough one but most esc's come with a capacitor just use it it'll be fine Trier says I think a bit of extra stator makes it really good on 270 since I do run an
[01:34:20] action cam although most don't no one runs the go2 or the go3 they're too expensive and they're too fragile just Mo says so probably just get a BNF Mobula 6 instead of building the
[01:34:32] whole thing the B the the bind andly Mobula 6es are are brilliant they're so good and then if you want to swap Motors out it's super easy motor plugs I I I I'm constantly Blown Away by how
[01:34:50] good the BNF's are Walter says was our dump today with the story of yesterday oh this was fine my stomach is has actually been completely fine Titan says is there any downside to getting
[01:35:05] wee beds 40,000 and motor limiting down to 32,000 in case I want more later compared to just getting the 32,500 that's a lot of motor limiting so 40,000
[01:35:24] times let's say you did A7 motor limit oh wow okay I guess it's not that much of a motor limit times if you do an 80% motor limit oh wow it's only an 80% motor limit that's fine it's
[01:35:40] totally fine you're going to get a tiny little bit less efficiency but I don't think you'll be able to notice it I would absolutely do that if you're worried about it tiny whoop has a 36,000
[01:35:53] KV 072 called the Firefly that you could get Dexter says I like this stream from three different accounts thank you dude Walter says your stamp of today what's that
[01:36:04] mean Sher says I actually have no idea what feed forward does there has to be a crash course on what everything in the pits tun pit tuning tab is there is tons of people have done YouTube
[01:36:15] videos diving deep into the pids basically feed forward is exactly what the slider says it's stick response if you want more stick response move it up if you want less stick response move it
[01:36:29] down that's it you can also hover over the little question marks and there's really good information in all of those in there Striker also says IRL quads have always felt softer to me than the Sim
[01:36:47] maybe I should turn up my feed forward the Sim has a pit control well most Sims have pit controllers and you can certainly turn them up to get a quicker response blizzard FPV says
[01:36:59] I've had way more fun flying the HappyModel Diamond the hummingbird F4 was a DOA brick I've had the opposite experience I've had much better luck with the hummingbird V3 than HappyModel
[01:37:10] diamonds I don't actually think I've ever gotten a HappyModel Diamond up in the air I think well I mean they've gone up in the air directly into the ceiling as soon as I've armed
[01:37:21] them I don't I don't think I've ever ever run weak enough Motors or low enough pids to be able to get a diamond to actually fly it's just there's just so much electrical noise on
[01:37:38] that AIO that it's I don't know and there and I've also had three or four of them bad right out of the box which is something that the hummingbirds have never done the humming have always at least worked
[01:37:54] for a couple of batteries but I mean whatever they're both not reliable enough to actually use Dexter says ster since you guys are hyping up Axis flying what do you think about their flight controllers and
[01:38:12] stacks they seem okay I don't know who makes them but their Electronics seem to be okay they're not manufacturing them they're just being white labeled from somebody else so
[01:38:23] it's a bit of a crapshoot as it is with all flight controllers and esc's but I've used one or two of them and they've been okay but I've never really heard anything from other people
[01:38:34] I don't think they're all that popular so it's tough it's Striker also says my batteries always come down hot maybe I should do go to a 4S 850 from a 650 also they
[01:38:50] are China HBY Lin so shitty chemistry I mean John's okay they're just a little heavy out of the box one cell always comes down at 3.2 and all the others are 3.6 3.8 Jesus that's scary
[01:39:07] I I I stopped using China hobby line batteries when one of them went off in my hand and burned me pretty badly actually at a at a drift event and there was really no reason for it to
[01:39:21] to blow up so I don't I don't really recommend that anybody run China hobby line batteries because your family could die your family could burn to
[01:39:34] death but they are super cheap and I will say that I have been able to Mis in the past I've been able to mistreat China hobby line batteries worse than any other batteries so if you like
[01:39:50] constantly over discharge batteries chiny hobby lines will last longer being mistreated but keep them [@$#%] in in battery bags all the time all right it's oh my god I've
[01:40:08] got 19 minutes left and we haven't done anything hold on we got to at least do something that I talked about in the in the title of the stream so let's dive into speaking of let's do
[01:40:24] hummingbird V3 attempt number three right here all I need to do is solder up a BT 2.0 lead and then this thing will be ready to go because everything else is just going to sort of plug in so
[01:40:41] let's do that real quick here and I can at least say that I did something although I'll probably go a little bit longer here because I want to get a little bit more stuff done I was I was really
[01:40:53] looking forward to hanging out with Maggie after the stream tonight but I think she has gone to sleep so I think I'm all alone tonight we've been watching oh my God I forgot to tell you guys this so how
[01:41:09] many of you [@$#%] are old enough that you grew up watching Wonder Years type Wonder Years into the chat do I have a BT 2.0 floating around here somewhere
[01:41:23] I could have sworn that I did who grew up on Wonder Years admit's admit's you bastards admit that you grew up on Wonder Years do it oh oh I know what I'm going to
[01:41:37] do I'm going to take this battery lead off this rig because I want to switch the lead on this one so cool this is the rig that the other night was rebooting on hard crashes
[01:41:57] which is usually a sign that your battery lead is on its way out and so I'm going to pull this I'm going to desolder this battery lead and take a look at it and see if I can figure out
[01:42:07] what the hell is wrong with it and that way and then I'm going to reuse it for this newbie drone rig that may very well blow up after three crashes look at all you old ass
[01:42:21] [@$#%] oh my God why are you guys so oldwhy are you all so old how's it feel to be almost deadgo back and watch Wonder Years you can thank me later I've never
[01:42:44] gone back and watched it and so I don't think I've seen it since I was like singled digit year years old holy [@$#%] holy [@$#%] I I don't know what we did to deserve that show but oh
[01:43:03] my god just we're Maggie and I are three episodes in and just a ju the main character is this little boy that like actually has feelings and actually
[01:43:24] talks through his feelings and [@$#%] like that's unheard of that men no men don't get that get that education men are told that they're not allowed to have any feelings and they have to just
[01:43:39] get angry at everything and yet here it is from all those years ago in the in the one episode that we just watched the the daughter who's a hippie brings a so the the
[01:43:56] Father the one thing that really dates the show is the father he is an angry miserable just an angry miserable man right like which back then was the norm and it was acceptable and you know
[01:44:15] the whole family being terrified of the dad was like just the way that it was and that's bad [@$#%] man that's like bad bad bad bad bad bad bad news right and so that like really does date the show
[01:44:28] but the in the in the third episode I think the daughter brings home a her hippie boyfriend and the hippie boyfriend basically says Vietnam is [@$#%] we need to get the
[01:44:41] hell out of there and the dad like starts to freak out and I was like oh God here we go the dad's going to kick him out or he's going to kick the [@$#%] out of him or whatever but
[01:44:50] instead the the the hippie boyfriend like raises an excellent couple of points and ends it with like do you really want your kids going to Vietnam and getting shot and the and the dad
[01:45:03] sits there and [@$#%] thinks about it and it was just man I'm just I'm so blown away by the show I don't I don't remember it being like this I remember it just being like about a kid growing
[01:45:15] up and getting picked on and [@$#%] which which I identified with quite a bit cuz I got picked on constantly grown up but man there there's there's
[01:45:27] a depth to the show that I did not I did not expect and it's all the show is also held up really well like the the child acting I think this is one of the first shows where child acting really started
[01:45:41] to kind of come into its own and it's like amazingly watchable I thought it was going to be like a lot of those shows from like the 80s are really not watchable just
[01:45:56] from like an acting and writing standpoint like we were still not very good at making television shows and movies back then and it really shows sometimes but this is not one
[01:46:08] of them man I I am I'm absolutely shocked at how well it is held up I'm kind of I'm tempted to like see if aelia will watch it I I don't think that'll work I I think it's going to be too
[01:46:26] dated for her like she she when we watch older shows together she's like what is this this looks terrible and I'm like oh well I mean you're not wrong and I remember that when I was growing up like
[01:46:43] if if the visual effects were like really really bad like black and white [@$#%] it was like I ain't watching this this is too old there's there's that feeling when you're young of like
[01:46:52] old stuff is is sort of irrelevant I guess or whatever which like I don't know kind of a shame but I get it but man my God nice little surprise the other night the reason I I put it on is that
[01:47:19] we did Hulu for a month and now I'm cancelling it and so I'm like bouncing it's on Hulu by the way and so I'm bouncing around Hulu trying to find anything else that I can watch before it when you
[01:47:33] cancel they run you to the end of your building cycle or whatever so I'm just like looking for stuff to watch before my access goes away I'm just trying to fix this BT
[01:47:48] 2.0 lead there's really you're not missing much I'm doing it on the end of the table the the wires seem fine I don't necessarily know why this AO was recycling was was
[01:48:02] Power cycling I'm going to guess there's something going on in here so let's take a look at that I just had to fix these wires they were getting all frayed and angry oh [@$#%] this is one of the ones
[01:48:17] that I I like glued together I E6000 together cuz the I got frustrated with the with this shrink wrap constantly popping off of here so this might be a bit of a
[01:48:37] disaster CBD says Married with Children was the best I I I watched Married with Children more than I would like to admit growing up what an awful like rewatching it now oh my God just aw talk
[01:48:53] about like perpetuating horrible horrible like family norms and family situations oh my God brutal brutal brutal brutal stuff that show probably did more damage than most
[01:49:11] to society oh [@$#%] this looks completely fine I I don't know what I mean this this one well okay so that could be it this one pin is is backed way the hell
[01:49:34] out that could be the problem so let me try to fix this this might not be fixable but let me at least try real quick I got to push this one pin forward
[01:49:50] basically it has back backed out of the the plastic plug header so let's see here I'm just going to put the soldering iron on the back here and just push sort of straight
[01:50:05] down balls I didn't want that to happen but maybe that wire was a problem all right there it goes starting to go down [@$#%] it's starting to go sideways though I should have [@$#%] known
[01:50:23] when you when you get these pins hot you really need to have another plug on the other side to make sure that the pins stay straight and they don't start to get all like wonky and [@$#%] hold
[01:50:35] on I need to find a need to find a BT 2.0 why do I not have a BT 2.0 just kind of sitting up here somewhere hold up Walter says no no Bill Cosby now Bill Cosby's show was great his his
[01:50:59] conduct in life is was the problem but that didn't like scar anyone what I mean oh well I mean it scarred the people that he was you guys know what I mean BT 2.0's where are
[01:51:15] you wny I have no idea where my extra BT 2.0's are I hope I have some oh here's the double here's the double BT 2.0 leads I need to grab one of these
[01:51:38] actually all right come on come on there we go all right cool got one of those what about regular BT 2.0 though where the hell are they there's a chance I used them all I hope
[01:51:57] not none in here what the hell berer buer found some all right but I do I still I have not found I need the the the battery side of a BT 2.0 what the
[01:52:35] hell where are they not in here oh there's one just one though just just one single I guess it's the female BT 2.0 guess that's what it is there we go fan effing
[01:53:05] tastic all right putting a couple of these things back here putting this here this over here that there this here and that there yay wait wait wait
[01:53:27] wait wait what where did it go no I put the BT 2.0's away I need them where did they go it was what oh I put them up on the table we're good fine nobody panic it's organic
[01:53:54] oh hi teddy oh that flipped over that's not going well hi little dog you are a bad boy you are covered in burds buddy you are covered you're a bad dog you're a big fat bad dog
[01:54:26] there he is oh you stink dude oh you stink buddy you smell bad you smell bad dude oh god oh oh God for all right buddy can't believe put up with that I was sure he would just freak out and try
[01:55:39] to run away oh man he is a smelly boy he's been outside getting all stank toied can tell all right so I'm going to try to I'm going to try to fix this guy here it's probably it's probably
[01:55:59] screwed up because because that one pin got all jacked up but let's just try oh no we're good we're good we're good okay so I still do need to push that pin in though so I
[01:56:15] need to apply heat and push down on this one pin I'm assuming that was the problem so let's see what we can do here this is going to be a little bit difficult it's not going to want to go in there now
[01:56:31] that it's got the plug on the bottom so I might have to really push hard on this but whatever if I ruin it I ruin it all right so let me actually just put a little bit of solder on this to transfer the heat a
[01:56:48] little bit quicker to the metal here we go come on there we go all right let's see pushing down pushing down hard pushing down whoa there it goes okay that might have gone too far in
[01:57:29] there woo boy that went quick I was pushing on that hard okay [@$#%] I think I screwed it up let me look at it from the other side though y that was definitely not super hot I
[01:57:55] definitely did not just burn the [@$#%] out of myself Walter has has gone completely banana pants in the chat he's gone completely off the rails I'm okay with that sometimes you
[01:58:14] got to just go bananas in the chat sometimes you got to say so many things in the chat that the whole chat is just you saying things don't do it all the time but every once in a
[01:58:29] while it's all right all right let put some of these extra BT 2.0's in here kit and then I'm GNA leave this one out because I think I'm going to need to use it because I'm pretty sure I just
[01:58:43] ruined that one okay should be cooled down enough now we're good let's see what I did here that went a little too far forward didn't it what if I I wonder if I can just kind
[01:59:03] of push it back just a little bit I don't necessarily want to push it back with heat but I wonder if I can just Ro force it back it didn't need to go very far let's see TR to be sort of gentle
[01:59:37] but it's kind of tough man it's hard to like deal with this man Jesus oh [@$#%] that's not at all what I wanted to do my fingers are like oh everything is so goddamn small with tiny whoops I feel
[02:00:03] like a [@$#%] monster there we go there I got a good push on it oh boy nah man that shit's [@$#%] that [@$#%] broken oh well moving on all
[02:00:41] right this goes over here and gets a cool ice blue LED BT 2.0 that's some point this guy gets this I think hold on I might need to I might want to shorten that so
[02:01:03] with this where the battery leads there are the battery leads with this in here the battery is going to sit back like this get these out of here so here's how you get your battery wire
[02:01:23] lengths correct drve fit the aiio dryy fit the battery come on you bastard all right because you want you want to see where the BT 2.0 lead is going to sit with a battery push it out just just a little
[02:01:42] bit and then run the leads the way that they're going to run right so they're going to they're going to go up here and then they're going to be and then this guy's going to sit here right so
[02:01:58] don't plug it in because the the leads will short but just put it next to it like this and then run the leads the way that they want to run put it next to it on the on the
[02:02:13] opposite side so that you get a little bit of extra length right so hold it there and then you got your leads coming up here and then you
[02:02:26] can all right so the leads are actually going to go through let's take the AO out so the leads are actually going to go through here this is where I like to Route them through right so they're
[02:02:37] going to go through there I'm going to put this BT 2.0 on the opposite side right and then the reason we cut these as short as possible is that they're heavy so this is is actually
[02:02:52] like I know this seems kind of pedantic to do this but it actually does make a difference so there we go so now we have the leads running exactly as they're going to we've got the BT 2.0 on
[02:03:02] the opposite side so we're giving a little bit of extra length there and then the the last thing you want to do is make sure the positive is going to the positive and the negative isn't
[02:03:11] going to the negative and then this in this case they're not they are reversed but that's kind of okay because we're given a little bit of extra Slack
[02:03:24] although you're going to cut one of them shorter than the other so I'm actually going to fix that hold on I'm going to fix the positive and the negative being
[02:03:35] reversed there we go okay so now they're running the way they're going to run and I can just hold them up next to the pads and make sure that is just right and we're just going to give a little
[02:03:53] bit of extra here so let's cut this one right there and then we're going to cut this one right there and that's it that's how you get them as short as you can but not too short the battery leads are heavy it
[02:04:18] actually does make a weight difference and see we we've got one that's a little bit shorter than the other and that's what we want because that's going to have the cables laying nice and flat
[02:04:29] so that they don't get all jammed up against the battery that's a real thing all right so let's strip a little bit of the insulation off here right there's
[02:04:49] one and here comes the other and I'm just stripping off a tiny little bit because these are castellated pads on the side and the the PCB is pretty thin so you don't need to take a
[02:05:05] whole bunch of the the silicone insulation off there's no reason for that and actually the less of the insulation you take off the more Stout this battery lead is going to be because the if you get the
[02:05:19] insulation right up against the PCB it prevents the individual strands of wires from breaking right at that point that's typically where your battery leads will break is right against the
[02:05:31] right against the the PCB and so only remove just enough of the silicone and you'll get a stronger wire sometimes you got to come in with some Flush Cutters and
[02:05:55] just make love to it Wait no that's a different live stream I do all right there we go that's looking pretty good I think that's just about right so now we're going to Tin these
[02:06:14] and then we'll just zap them onto the board okay and just let hang over the edge of this little Jib Jab Teddy why are you up in my business tonight what's What's your deal why
[02:06:32] are you so interested in what I'm doing all of a sudden hungry it's always about food with you who else is building what do you building looking good okay so now we
[02:06:59] take AIO and push it on in here get these castellated pads sticking up in a way that I can work with them it's ground on the outside voltage on the inside round is ground on BT 2.0 also
[02:07:21] white is is ground white is the opposite of black that is your ground here we go I'm going to do the positive first because it's on the inside and I don't want to like cross over
[02:07:37] myself let's clean this massive blob of solder off the tip of this iron what do you say it's looking good oops there we go all right hold on perfect reminder to add a little bit of
[02:08:13] flux yes you can add flux to the wires themselves it's actually really nice when you do that all right here we go again it's going to happen quick now because it's got all this flux on
[02:08:39] it there we go all right there's one here comes the other actually I'm going to do this second one with pair of twe twers all right really push this AO down into the into the
[02:09:06] stuff when the wires are different lengths like this it definitely makes it harder to get these on here but it's worth it it's tougher in this moment right now but like for ever this thing
[02:09:22] is going to be better it's just better so that did not it's not quite on the pad enough it's almost there but just want to get a little bit more contact here Jesus Christ come on
[02:10:10] man be cool man be cool get in there stay in there now we're talking actually going to pick up a little bit of solder here and oh [@$#%] you guys can't see sorry fellas
[02:10:52] look look at Logitech that actually focused ho be goddamned all right let's get the wire where we want it okay now I'm going to pick up a little bit of solder on the tip of the
[02:11:08] iron great and there we go still having a hard time getting this like into the little pocket there it is all right now it's getting all kinds of ugly what the hell's going on here I
[02:11:49] think the flux is all gone hold on going to rework this one more time because that is ugly ass joint I ain't down with ugly ass joints Jesus hold on I see what's going on I
[02:12:20] see what's going on there's a whole bunch of extra solder on here hold up this is actually a situation where there's too much solder so let's get the braid out
[02:12:30] here and also known as solder Wick and we're just going to remove a little bit of this excess solder from this joint we go okay solder is like all over this USB joint
[02:13:01] there we go I just removed a ton of solder from there all right back at it here we go never give up what's up cmk how are you dude Zach's not building anything he's painting the
[02:13:20] inside of oh that's sweet I never thought about doing that Mobula 6 clear canopies that's a [@$#%] great idea I love the way it looks to paint the inside of clear stuff that's always such a cool
[02:13:37] look all right let's get this guy in here I think I might have also just not stripped off quite enough of the silicone so let me just strip a tiny little bit more off
[02:14:03] here there we go all right that's better that's much better I did not take much but it's just enough okay fundamentals flux on the joint and on the wire just a little bit tweezers hold the wire in
[02:14:49] place there we go make sure you're really holding it in place you don't want to be trying to fix it with the tip of the soldering iron because you have to remove the tip of
[02:15:00] the soldering iron eventually and when you remove it the wire will move and you don't want that so make sure you really do have it in place there we
[02:15:10] go pick up a little bit of solder on the tip of the iron great smack everything together now we're talking there it is awesome much better okay so
[02:15:43] now I like to take these leads and put a little Bend in them because they're going rearwards so just put a little Bend as close to the board as you can don't push too
[02:15:55] hard these castellated pads are nice and strong if you're surface if you're surface soldering this you might not even want to do this at all because it's a great way to break a pad
[02:16:09] off but just get a little bit of an angle in there so that it's facing rearwards like this and you can see I actually still have too much ground wire see how that's bubble out I
[02:16:18] like it when these are dead even but this will be right this will be fine and now you get to test fit's to see if you [@$#%] it all up the most exciting moment of all so if I pop this battery
[02:16:36] out just dry fit this on in here I don't need those rubber grommets yet and then the first thing is what can you even get the battery in so you kind of get the lead out of the way that's just about
[02:16:50] right okay battery in and now you get to see if you made it long enough perfect that's exactly right just the right length and we've got lights which is a good
[02:17:13] thing lights rather than smoke is always nice all right so we're good that's actually all we needed to do to this bir AO now we just got to screw some stuff down Scotty Scott's finishing
[02:17:27] up a Marmet and a grindo Porky chop is building an air 75 from scratch setting up BetaFlight about the solder Motors can't wait to finally have a good 75mm in Arsenal nice that'll be
[02:17:39] awesome somebody had an air 75 at Castle crry it was flying really good okay grommets this is newbie drone I might as well use newbie drone grommets what the hell should have a set in
[02:17:59] here little tiny selection of grommets in this guy I don't have a set of newbie drone grommets but that doesn't matter it's fine these are BetaFPV grommets they will
[02:18:11] work one two three and is there a fourth there is indeed know these are fine let's see how annoying these are to put into this quad maybe they're not too bad let's
[02:18:46] see shouldn't be that bad it's kind of going through there this is the quickest and best way I've found to do it round tipped tweezers don't use sharp tipped tweezers you'll stab holes in The Grommet and
[02:19:04] then it won't be a grommet it will just be a semi donkey oh these holes are slightly oversized I think which is really nice to get these things in here and it's just about like putting it
[02:19:25] in at a 45 de angle and then you just put a little bit at a time just pinch and push pinch it push push as hard as you can and then pinch it off that's the key to taking a
[02:19:40] poop the key to getting these things in here is to pinch and push put it up at like a 40 de angle pinch and push pinch and push pinch and push you kind of use your thumb on the
[02:19:57] bottom to make sure it doesn't fall out and then just push and there we go we got them grommets in everything else is just going to plug in so let's go here and drop this guy down I think
[02:20:13] everything plugs in on the top right yep yep everything plugs in on the top cool so slam this down there it is okay and we're going with red newbie drone B actually let's put
[02:20:42] a little 2.4 gig antenna on first oh we got to put both antennas on right so the the smaller iacs is here for the 2.4 gig antenna the elrs antenna that is this one I am going
[02:20:58] to put a little little tiny piece of shrimp wrap where the active element meets up with the with the regular part of the wire because it tends to
[02:21:17] break there which is super annoying so just cut the tiniest little bit of the tiniest shrimp wrap that you've got throw it on here and get it into
[02:21:36] position and then get your lighter on there we go that's going to be way more durable that way okay so we've got that and then for the video antenna let's run a super super super lightweight one we can
[02:22:03] sacrifice a little bit of video performance there's a lightweight one I've just sitting around and let's get it straightened out here all right cool and then we are going to
[02:22:24] UFL it on up there's the click and there we go there's both of our antennas run those both out the the same hole in this goober canopy so here's the goober canopy it's got a
[02:22:41] big old hole in the back there actually I'm going to run the 2.4 out one of these smaller holes on the top here here so let's pick run it through
[02:22:59] there and then I'll pick like this farthest back one come on meow are you saying meow am I saying meow do I look like a cat to you am I jumping around all nimbly bimbly from tree to
[02:23:34] tree do you see me eating mice get out of there come on all right there we go got it and let's rock this guy down here and now these antennas are just kind of being a pain in the ass but just be
[02:23:55] stubborn there we go all right now we get the camera plugged in all right meow see that license of registration [@$#%] this camera plug is so small there we go all
[02:24:26] right there it is Hummy bird V3 almost all put together now I just need a couple of screws and we will be in business I'm going to use these newbie drone screws
[02:24:54] the dog is behind me making some crazy noises he's going in hard on his little on his little chicken toy he's he has learned that he can rip toys to shreds and it's just crazy
[02:25:12] watching him just rip the insides out it just like have such a good time tearing the intestines out of fake animals having fun buddy eat those intestines demo F says do you recommend
[02:25:35] the hummingbird no or is the mob 3 and air 65 a better option don't get the hummingbird the Mobula 6 2024 and the a 65 are amazing there's no reason to get any other I
[02:25:54] mean if you can find an old school Mobula 6 you could make an argument for that because of the durability but man in terms of flight characteristics the the two new Biden
[02:26:04] flies are absolutely phenomenal they are really really really good I have this stuff I I have a whole bunch of this newbie drone stuff just sitting here and it's just dumb to
[02:26:19] have it just to sit here so I decided to lay it all out figure out what makes kind of sense for each different thing and do a little bit of building I have a feeling that I will
[02:26:40] put a few batteries through all this stuff and then throw it up on the Etsy store so if you're looking for a CiottiFPV built and tuned rig there will be a couple of newbie drones
[02:26:53] coming at you soon all right canopy is lined up let's get it screwed on down this is a newbie drone light AF frame in the white color I did manage to break one of these
[02:27:19] in the white I have not broken the one that I replaced it with which is the more clear color my hunch is going to be I I it took a lot to break the white one so I I don't necessarily think that there's any
[02:27:34] real difference in strength between the white and this and the clearish one what I can certainly say is to for the love of God do not buy the light AF frame in Black I broke two of those
[02:27:45] black ones within like the first few batteries I don't know what the hell happened but when they put that when they put whatever they put into the plastic to change it from clear to Black
[02:27:57] right plastic starts as its life clear and then if you want it if you want a color you got to put like a pigment or something into it to create the color something about the process of
[02:28:09] changing that frame black really seems to have weakened it or it was just a coincidence but I doubt it because it happened on two like back to back and then the white one like
[02:28:27] lasted forever so look at that got a little bit separation in those antennas and there we go a little hummingbird let's plug these motors in these are the Newbie drone 0702
[02:28:50] 29,000 they actually have great power they're they're not the most efficient Motors but man they I think they are significantly under underrated I think they're even
[02:29:07] though they say 29,000 I'm pretty sure that they're closer to like 32 or 33 the problem as with all of the non-happy HappyModel tiny whoop Motors is
[02:29:23] efficiency every single H tiny whoop motor other than HappyModel is just significantly less efficient even at the same power levels it's pretty wild what HappyModel has been able
[02:29:43] to do with their Motors all right Motors are plugged in what do I have this set up for props in props in I'm going to keep these byy blades on it because again these motors make mad
[02:30:03] Jam well maybe not it would look really cool with I'm going to put some red oh my back is oh what's happening with my back hold on what the [@$#%] when did this go out of focus this is set to manual
[02:30:18] focus oh I hope this hasn't been out of focus forever hang on guys I apologize since when is the focus set to Auto it's not supposed to be on auto auto
[02:30:58] all right well it's not working set to manual focus they they they recently changed the software and I guess they [@$#%] it up again all right I'm gonna actually move this over
[02:31:13] to some fancy red props because it's got to look good man it just it has to look good I'm going to move this over to HQ Ultra Ultra ultra light Tri
[02:31:38] blades we've got a counterclockwise another counterclockwise come on where are the ones that beenin the other way dude what where how Teddy's just going in on this toy
[02:32:02] man he's really getting aggressive with it although Teddy's version of aggressive is is like like a cat no I shouldn't say that when cats get aggressive it's [@$#%] scary
[02:32:19] there we go he's not he's just the gentlest dog ever demo FPV says I was watching your video when you upgraded the Mobula 6 is that all you've done is that recommended upgrades it's really
[02:32:38] really good out of the box but if you want to go down the rabbit hole with it you can you can go do a do this Frame do the the light AF frame and then do geman 129s
[02:33:00] propellers and then if you really want to go in the old school Mobula 6 canopy is awesome and you can even switch to an old you can leave the the the camera that you can use the old school mobul 6
[02:33:17] canopy with the camera that it ships with you're just going to have to get in there with a file you'll see it mounts up but then the lens is a little bit too big for the opening so
[02:33:29] you got to just file the the canopy a little bit's super easy though and that that's what I would do th those g string style canopies offer little to no protection to the
[02:33:45] aiio itself in crashes and this is a bunch of smart people in the tiny whoop Community are realizing that that's why a lot of the aios are failing the the Mobula 6 canopy is nice and
[02:33:59] stiff and it's going to it's going to help with the durability of the AO so all right here we go I think this might be pretty close to being ready to fly right out of the box
[02:34:13] here oh God so that propeller just kind of fell on there I'm not I don't get the feeling that this is going to want to stay on although if I can't get the damn thing off then I guess it will stay
[02:34:37] on and it really felt like it went on with like no pressure but I for the life of me I can't get it off so it should be fine put this one on back here some sometimes I can deal with how
[02:34:57] small this stuff is but other times it's just like look at this thing red and white as hell come on buddy there we go these newbie drone motor motor shafts are a little bit thinner than happy
[02:35:30] model I can say that with absolute certainty well there it is let's weigh it doggy I don't want all of your toys all the time my friend some sometimes I don't want any
[02:35:51] of your toys like right now don't look at me what is that look supposed to mean all right I'll do whatever you want what do you want me to do you just want to look at
[02:36:08] me am I that handsome dog the answer is no this quad weighs 18 and a half grams why is it so heavy oh the goober canopy the goober canopy is a fat bastard it looks good though 18
[02:36:24] and a half grams these motors are also heavy heavier than the HappyModel Motors AIO is nice and light I'm glad I put the lightweight antennas on it [@$#%] 18 grams though I
[02:36:39] mean that's the target 18 18 grams or below I I I like to be 18.0 18.1 kind of thing but can have it all all the time all right let's plug it into BetaFlight and see what's
[02:36:57] what yakun I'm going to go to ESC configurator while I'm waiting for BetaFlight ESC configurator pluging in a battery no smoke yet it's good sign read settings let's see what this thing is
[02:37:20] set up with out of the box blue j.6 I have I have already been in here the startup powers are maxed this is I've this is a flying AO that's awesome 48k blue j.6 fan Fantastic
[02:37:39] someday BetaFlight will open and we can check what direction the motors are spinning so I must have been using this AIO I hope that it works motors motor Direction the
[02:37:58] propellers are definitely off oh the motors aren't spinning oh I didn't click Start and spin motor one is correct motor two is incorrect motor 3 is incorrect that means motor four is
[02:38:17] going to be correct all right so reverse two reverse three let's check to make sure that worked motor 2 is now correct motor 3 is now correct Happy Days Are Here at last let's spin them
[02:38:29] all up and see what happens they spin yay let's see if any of them are banged up nice and clean nice and clean nice and clean fantastic 12 Mt poles motor idle 7% dshot 300 all looking good let's unplug
[02:38:54] the battery it is set up for props out though let's reverse that and save and reboot MC mucus says I found those newb drone 802 25000 to be way more durable than HappyModel 802s or even
[02:39:12] snow blowers for my 75mm builds but soldering motor wires is lame agreed agreed kinetic says any opinions on the new HQ props coming out with the new Mobula 6 hd0 AO quads they are
[02:39:32] very the new HQ props are very low power too low power for me but apparently they're also very lightweight but the the existing they make less power than the existing
[02:39:47] HQ ultral light triblade and the existing HQ ultr light Tri blades are already like already don't make quite enough power in my opinion so I'm not going to make even less
[02:40:02] power that would drive me nut so let's just adjust a couple of things here what in the world I did some weird [@$#%] to the tune on this what was I doing
[02:40:21] motor output is 100% that's great thrust linear is at 40% hell no oh this might be stock tune stuff no my rates are in here huh whoa a lot of filtering why is there so much
[02:40:40] filtering maybe I never changed it let's take a look at what Gyra this thing has go into the CLI and you type status RPM is off thank you Brandon gyro is a BMI 270 that's why there was
[02:41:02] so much filtering H I really don't want to put this on to BetaFlight 4.5 B directional is on here where did you see that it was off oh the switch is off that's weird
[02:41:21] the hell's that about bring it down to one I'm going to pull this filtering back I'm just going to try to fly it like this I do need to move this Max frequency up though let's just see
[02:41:33] how it does with both of these sliders at 1.0 that's super weird that the gyro RPM filter was off I don't know why the hell I would have done that okay I'm assuming everything else
[02:41:54] is set up looks fine I have a funny feeling that this AO is not going to work for the record I I feel like maybe this is the second AO that blew up and I I saved it for some weird reason I
[02:42:15] I think we're not going to have video but let's see I'm going to be a little bit annoyed in a minute fair warning oh my God we've got video I'm not annoyed well not
[02:42:38] yet see if it actually flies first I think this is the wrong module let's swap them all right the hands down the coolest looking tiny whoop they've got multicolored addressable LEDs in all
[02:42:58] four corners really really cool little setup oh maybe it's not bound I wonder how you B bind this thing let's find out one two three all right we'll try elrs 2.5
[02:43:25] first sending bind request let's see what happens nothing maybe it's lrs 3.0 let's give that a try I might need to update this to.5 kinetic says set up
[02:43:59] 2g4 oh oh there it goes it didn't need to be bound I was just impatient oh boy doggies freak it out oh man it's don't feel right right maybe it's
[02:44:31] okay let's fly it properly oh look how low that camera angle is with the goober canopy look at all that duct in view jeez set up my 2g4 with the newest blue J firmware but I can't change motor
[02:44:49] Direction in BetaFlight same thing on the old BL s firmware any ideas just change the motor Direction in bluej I know that's annoying but I have one or two aiio that for absolutely no
[02:45:03] reason I can't change the the the direction it's super weird wow this thing rips actually my god it feels great let's go upstairs with it [@$#%] can't even make it up the
[02:45:35] stairs oh oh never mind oh boy family's asleep let's not go upstairs with it oh God oh boy gross just cruise around a little bit you can see the OSD flickering a
[02:45:58] little bit Chase it Teddy Chase it here's what I painted today I did above this door oh you can see it you can see the line here dry paint versus new paint on the left I did
[02:46:18] just the top of the door and then down here this part of the wall all the way down meaning to do that for about a year and a half not bad man Jesus it's eating that prop wash up
[02:46:50] oh boy these are somewhat powerful Motors and nice lightweight props which is where the propwash performance is probably coming fromFES
[02:47:17] great I'm actually I'm shocked that it's 18 12 gram it does not feel that heavy so there's the runtime 2 minutes and 40 I mean not the worst but the the same setup the same power to
[02:47:35] weight ratio setup with HappyModel Motors would be at like an extra minute of runtime so not not crazy runtime but not the worst two and a half minutes ain't bad I mean I Ed that
[02:47:50] battery to here let's find another one I about to say I use that battery to like spin the motors up and stuff so it wasn't a fully charged battery but pretty charged I don't I don't know if well
[02:48:03] let's see let's see if we can get to three minutes with it I'm I mean I'm flying it pretty hard buddy what are you no oh you bastard you destroyed it oh
[02:48:24] buddy well there's the end of that when I took off this this little plastic ball fell off the the end of the table and apparently Teddy took an interest in it here go over there go play with that go
[02:48:37] play with your actual toys buddy I I just threw it get out of there get get out of the garbage can bastard kinetic says what's the clicking noise in the background that is a 2 and
[02:48:52] a half-year-old miniature SCH snower named Teddy spaghetti we named him that because he's got worms just kidding it's a Fraser joke all right let's run another battery through this thing see what's
[02:49:13] what I I'm Blown Away by the propwash performance though to be honest with you it ate every molecule of prop wash that I threw at it here we
[02:49:35] go there he is there's the clicking noise 20 20 pounds of clicking and squeaking 20 pounds of constant clicking and screaming [Laughter] he like didn't expect it for a second
[02:49:58] there hey whoa uhoh get out of there Teddy's coming oh hey hit's he hit's that time that's right buddy Chase it don't run back to me get out of there Teddy get out of
[02:50:29] there you bad bad get out God I wish you would Chase it I would get so good at flying backwards to frame him up chasing the tiny whoops oh god oh boy Danger Zone Danger
[02:50:55] Zone Teddy Teddy Teddy [Laughter] teddyy in your facethis thing fly is great oh almost pulled that off woo Jesus these motors make Power oh my
[02:51:43] God the way his little face flat down a you can't get it can't get it under there little boy oh [@$#%] he got it oh nope no more come on come and try go ahead go ahead try to get it you can't
[02:52:03] get it you can't get it can't get it oh god oh those teeth you little [@$#%] you let me get the OSD up here make sure I don't run this battery down too far oh look at those LEDs on the ground
[02:52:31] whoa that [@$#%] is bright I'm getting all kinds to sloppy with that look at this [@$#%] thing man what even with the little goober canopy buddy buddy
[02:53:04] boy well look at us we're hitting three minutes what the hell I mean I guess I spent a bunch of time just like hovering under the bar cart and all but still ah ah ah
[02:53:19] ah oh coming in hot I'm chasing get out of there oh the camera's all wet he ate it he fck [@$#%] oh the copy is soaked buddy don't spit on the quads what are you doing [Laughter] it's way way way too much
[02:53:53] fun dude what this thing flies awesome what the hell I remember the I remember the hummingbird flying good I really do and then it blew up when I was sad but [@$#%] man this fly is
[02:54:14] fantastic how long it'll last who the hell knows but I think we're g to move on what time is it oh it's 11 o'clock what the hell I mean nobody's awake though so if I stop get out of there get out
[02:54:31] of that garbage can if I stop streaming I'm just going to do FPV stuff here so picked up a whole bunch of hair get out of there Teddy get out of the garbage
[02:54:53] can get out of there get get go play with the chicken good boy go get chicken no go go back and get chicken no stop it get get some chicken get your chicken get chicken look at look how delicious
[02:55:13] chicken is go get him that should be enough to keep him distracted for no no oh he is jacked up right now this dog is on fire I'll tell you what this is the most inflexible animal I've ever I've I've
[02:56:17] ever experienced he when when he rolls here hold on you should see I don't know if I'll be able to get him but if I if I could roll him over onto his back he's like a [@$#%] Turtle like you get him onto his
[02:56:30] back and he's just like ah I can't do anything it's so insane he's so stiff I'm used to cats which are like [@$#%] liquid man he is not liquid not liquid at
[02:56:50] all kinetic says it's not the dog it starts when you start flying oh it's the it's the goggles the the thank you for the reminder actually the goggle battery is is going dead hd0 chose
[02:57:08] that clicking sound to be their low battery warning it's really odd it's a very odd choice in in low battery warning I don't I mean I'll say this it's a lot better than the beeping that that fat
[02:57:30] shark goggles make when the battery is getting low so in that respect huzzah buddy I swear to God if you go back in that garbage can I'm going to put you outside and leave you there
[02:57:46] forever J Mo says my dislike of smaller dogs becomes a lot less when I see Teddy and then Co power says eating the quad embolden the tus the tus dude Hummingbird c FPV logo red and
[02:58:06] white hummingbird great suc great success I'll be damn I can't believe I good this thing Flies what the [@$#%] hold on let's do the important bit and address the addressable LEDs this
[02:58:20] ought to be fun I deal with addressable LEDs like once every two years and just forget everything each time but it's important man if you've got a dress of LEDs you got to address
[02:58:35] them [@$#%] where are they LED strip we got one two three four so let's click on number one and let's turn off the lson scanner turn off the throttle
[02:58:50] modifier and we're just going to set them to purple let's just set all four of them to purple that'll look super cool so when the thing is on it'll be purple and red that'll be pretty fun
[02:59:06] purple off off purple and then when I hit save it should update there it goes so there it is now it's all purpled out we can do better than that though let's make the ones in the rear red so
[02:59:24] let's click this one and we'll make it red let's see if that's the right one nope that's the right front corner that makes no sense make that one purple again let's try number two make that one
[02:59:37] red NOP two is the left front that's fine now we know which ones are which so these two are going to be red cool now the rear is red and I think I actually want this pink I think the
[02:59:49] pink looks more purple than the purple let me see no it just looks pink let's go back to purple there we go purple in the front red in the back what about that
[03:00:11] what's the white look like ew looks terrible back to purple there it is purple and red friends what do you think of that what do I do now unplug it and put it on the Shelf
[03:00:38] that's what I do now these props held on too I thought they were going to fly off okay we built some look at this this guy is next I think no no no no no hummingbird V2 it's an
[03:00:58] it's an all hummingbird party tonight oh dog oh get over here get your beatings get over here and receive your beatings okay up next we've got a hummingbird V2 which I think I can just
[03:01:17] pick up out of this this Frame and drop into a different frame so let's see this might be the quickest build ever we going to unplug does anybody know anything about the hummingbird V2
[03:01:31] is it any good I don't even know if it's elrs I hope it is can somebody search newbie dr's website for hummingbird V2 and confirm that it's Express
[03:01:44] lrs if it's not this is kind of a waste of time look at these weird tall what they do that for they got big tall grommets on it that's a interesting
[03:02:04] choice we're going to be putting into this Frame right here let's do it and I'm probably going to change the the canopy color maybe I'll change it to purple do like a cool purple and blue
[03:02:22] thing that'll be fun demo FPV says did you do any upgrades to the air 65 jmo says yes it is thank you I did not the in my opinion the air 65 is
[03:02:37] not you shouldn't upgrade it the motors are direct solder which is a pain in the ass so just leave them and then the canopy is is actually kind of durable and I mean those are really
[03:02:59] the main things the camera is okay I guess if you were going to upgrade something I guess I would upgrade the camera but to me the the of the two new tiny whoops if you want to do
[03:03:13] upgrades by the Mobula 6 2024 if you don't want to upgrades by the air 65 and that's sort of it which is nice it I I actually that that's the situation because it gives a
[03:03:32] very clear reason to buy one versus the other and so it's fine this is a very heavy canopy let's pull these these are azy props they might break as I'm pulling them
[03:03:54] off oh my God which is such a shame man the the AY props perform so well but man they are just so fragile part of the reason they perform so well is because they're so
[03:04:06] fragile because they're lightweight really nice to have the 1210s the 1219 S's and the HQ YOLO it's amazing to have durable lightweight props my God all
[03:04:25] right I don't know why I did that you guys didn't need to watch me do that okay well this is a hummingbird V2 setup I'm not going to do a goddamn thing to it I'm thinking about
[03:04:43] changing these grommets I don't understand why they've got such tall grommets on here what where do they need the extra clearance I'm going to take these grommets off and replace them with
[03:04:58] normal grommets because I want this canopy to sit down a little bit lower interesting choice I also don't have many of these grommets these are like slightly taller on one side but
[03:05:13] like barely these are going to come in really handy at some point guaranteed so let's grab a set of BetaFPV clears and they should be fine and then I do need to put a BT
[03:05:38] 2.0 on this guy as well it is currently on one of these goldplated pH 2.0 which are no good so let's get the soldering iron back on cmk says it's been that kind of
[03:05:52] stream I just joined Back N I'm just trying to do a bunch of stuff what's up Nightwing how are you dude Nightwing says what are your thoughts on the ao5 it seems insane I can't wait
[03:06:02] to get my hands on one I I also still I still don't quite believe that it exists like I I still think that it's one big April Fool's gag against I just don't understand how the hell you
[03:06:22] can fit two 25x 25 boards worth of chips onto one it just doesn't make sense so I won't believe it until I actually touch one that's how impressed I am with
[03:06:40] the with the the trickery that's been done to squeeze all those chips onto one board to anybody that's kind of dense I'm kidding I obviously believe that it exists but there's still a part of me
[03:06:59] that maybe thinks that this is The Truman Show and you're all actors but that' be kind of cool I wouldn't be upset at all all right let's remove this goldplated pH 2.0 and get a BT 2.0 on
[03:07:34] here all right out with the old and get your head out of there bad dog bad bad I'm going to do the same thing I'm going to measure this even though on the big boy canopies you can kind of
[03:08:02] just leave these full length and you'll be okay but I'll do it the right way get out of there Teddy you spaghetti monster bastard keep your fat little miniature head out
[03:08:22] of there that was a bit of a oxymoron oxymoron is not the right description of what that was although it sort of works a little bit maybe no okay all right so flat part
[03:08:41] away so here's going to be a little test fit push the battery as far forward as it'll go thread your wires up through where they're going to go so when the dog yawns he
[03:09:00] like he does what he just did he goes like Oh and it's absolutely hysterical I I I don't know if he got that like from us or whatever but like he's kind of always done it and I love
[03:09:15] it more than most things on earth all right there's that and here comes this oh god I've put these screws into this Frame what an idiot why did I do this silly thing to do all right there
[03:09:42] we go there's one there comes two get out there and three right now I'm doing this left hand that I'll have Nightwing what do you building I know you
[03:10:06] building you build mad things what you building bro hold on I need to get these I'm pretty sure that the ground is going to be on the in the rear did you hear it there he is
[03:10:24] again it's not me yawning that's the dog I swear it's crazy man it's crazy he yawns like a little tiny person a little fuzzy person there we go okay and there it is it's a lot harder
[03:10:42] because this canopy is on here but logic will prevail no it's not logic what is it what's that quote from it's always sunny something will prevail order will prevail no it's not
[03:10:58] it I forget what it is okay there we go we can shorten these up a little bit get the battery lead roughly into position get these near the pads that they're going to
[03:11:15] be and then just cut him a little bit shorter on get out of there Teddy I can hear you I can hear you in there bad boy there we go all right so I didn't cut Jack's [@$#%] off of here but
[03:11:38] whatever that that was that was pretty the current situation under the desk he's just waiting he's waiting and he's now grumping he's grumping that he's not allowed
[03:12:10] to eat the the plastic ball anymore get out dog don't go in there no stop grumping you can look at me all you want you stop grumping grumpy little bastard here we
[03:12:43] go that was a fail oh hold on sorry guys oh God smashing everything okay Teddy I hear you I still hear you oh my god oh he's get upset under there spaghetti man stop oh my God what is happening why
[03:13:36] can't there we go power and speed all right there's that and here comes this one make sure I actually pinch this hard enough this time got it wrong again awesome it is it
[03:14:01] is difficult to strip just a little bit of the silicone off I will give myself a little bit of credit here all right there we go that's all set let's get these two guys
[03:14:18] tined and then we'll blop them on down wasn't me Teddy go take a nap dude look how comfy that couch is I know I'm not I know my shins aren't on it for you to lean on on but like look at it over
[03:14:49] there look at that couch over there buddy it's just it's dying for you to go and lay down on it and not make any noises asking for way too much I know get out of here little
[03:15:12] screws JM pfpv says nice does it fly not yet working on it's will well in theory it will it should hi dog buddy you're so tired you're obviously so tired go lay
[03:15:36] down it'll be so much fun you can go lay down and then like you'll be laying down and then I'll be like Teddy's a good boy he's laying down and everybody will applaud and
[03:15:52] cheer you want to make the internet happy don't you buddy a little more flux on here one and two go take a nap doggy go ahead go ahead you've had a big day of not paying
[03:16:14] rent and it's time to just there's nothing quite like reasoning with a dog here we go no he growling at it now he's taking a new TCT of growling at it tough life doggy tough
[03:17:04] life what do you guys think of that castle crash at it from Saturday with the Mobula 6 2024 come on meow I just want to get this a little bit further forward there we go
[03:17:39] perfect there it is this one came out better than the other one actually every time I do one to these it's like oh right that's how to get it perfect and
[03:17:50] then couple months go by and then I'm like oh right that's how to get it perfect and then a couple months go by it's good to go no Bridges no [@$#%] get these folded back just a
[03:18:06] little bit awesome yep all right good deal that's sitting really nice the ground wire is again a little tiny bit too long but whatever man whatever
[03:18:29] man where's that frame at here it is all right now I'm pretty sure that this AO is not set up so I don't know if we're going to fly I might just get this piece together the
[03:18:46] rest of way and let it be and maybe we'll dive into I I at least want to get the the toothpick build started a little bit get out of there don't do
[03:19:09] it don't drive angry don't drive angry doggy okay meteor 75 airframe custom DED by Jesse at tiny whoop.com oh tell me this doesn't fit in this Frame no it does it does we good
[03:19:43] amazing all right good deal let's get this Sky bolted down first though let me see if there was a reason for them to use those tall grommets oh wait no no no
[03:19:56] oh I kind of oh man changing this canopy out it's going to be a bastard is it going to look that much cooler with purple oh boy do I not want to change this canopy
[03:20:20] out oh I'm gonna have to take both of these apart God no not doing it not doing it's fine the motors are black and the canopy is black done I did this on
[03:20:51] purpose that's how I wanted it to be that was the idea from the start front screw which the goober canopy does not use and here come the rest oh fart get in there little
[03:21:31] buddy you're not too good for your home are you come on come on there we go I am tempted to change this antenna out but what I think I'm gonna do instead is just mod this antenna with it
[03:21:53] like kind of still on here basically so if I pull this out a little bit I should be able to get this rubber they put this cool little rubber thing on but rubber's
[03:22:05] heavy and so I always end up removing it I should be able to let lightweight toy this antenna although on a 75mm I'm actually going to leave it I'm going to leave it on
[03:22:23] a 75mm build you're going to be flying it outside and so I kind of want to have the the ground plane on there so I'll leave it's worth a little bit of extra weight to have more range for an
[03:22:38] outdoor is build know what I'm saying but I am going to I am going to remove this silly thing because it's rubber rubber be heavy all right let's get this guy screwed in
[03:23:03] here all right that's the back one now we'll do the sides and throw some props on I'll at least get the motor spin in the right well we'll plug it into BetaFlight and see what version it is
[03:23:16] it might be like a really old version of BetaFlight it could be like 4.2 Justin Bates says what camera would you swap to for the air 65 RunCam nan3 is discontinued unavailable CO3
[03:23:32] is a half gram lighter than the ca an probably like the tiny woop pinch cam but like I use the runam Nano 3s on everything so I'm not the best resource for camera suggestions on Tiny whoops
[03:23:48] cuz for me because I have a shitload of the runam Nano 3s and it's so lightweight that like I would be silly not it would be silly to run anything else so I don't know the time a
[03:24:01] lot of people like the tiny [@$#%] pinch cam I don't think it makes that much of a difference either like once that camera signal gets sent to an analog VTX it scum ifies it so it's kind of like
[03:24:17] whatever run whatever camera you've got in your B in in the extra and if like you have a reason to order from an website that that has an tiny whoop camera just snag it
[03:24:33] and way you go I will say that I really don't like the cax ant though I will never run a catx ant on an indoor tiny whoop it just sucks when the when the light goes from Bright to dark which happens a
[03:24:50] lot when you're flying inside the house so KX an is a is a definite noo for me apparently they're great outside though which I've yet to really test but I don't know every single time
[03:25:10] somebody flies a tiny whoop camera outside they go oh my God it's so good outside so never know I don't know for me like I kind of pick cameras just based on weight so
[03:25:23] that's another way for you to kind of choose because they're all going to look like scum anyway so just figure out which one is the lightest there you
[03:25:31] go let's get some these are 1 mm motor shafts that means I can run the the the ultra light HQ by blades this thing should actually perform pretty good these are
[03:25:54] 802 25,000 KV hummingbird Motors I might put this on no please don't bark again buddy the whole house is trying to sleep good dog good dog what up
[03:26:27] Kevin right I had a bunch of stuff to do and it's like and everybody went to sleep on me here so I was like well [@$#%] I might as well hang out with you guys I was I I was super excited to stream
[03:26:40] earlier so that Maggie and I could hang at 10: but then she got tired and went to sleep at like 9:30 and so that idea went out the window oh I do have these custom dyed
[03:26:57] ones they're kind of like a purpley no I'm going to put GemFan 1610s on here and I'll tell you why these are 25,000 KV 802s and the GemFan 1210s are a little bit more pitchy than the HQ
[03:27:20] ultralight by blades and these motors can use that these motors being only 25,000 KV can use that little bit of extra pitch so away we go it's going to take a little bit of a
[03:27:36] hit in response time but that's I'm okay with that most of these are one and a half Mill mm but there is one set of 1 mm in here there's one NOP there's
[03:27:58] two there's three and I think I might have thrown the fourth one away I think the fourth one got a little bit banged up little bit too banged up I should say one and a
[03:28:13] half one and a half come on oh oh no there it is cool all right got him and right so just throw these guys on and I said I'm G to plug this into BetaFlight but I I think it's going to
[03:28:42] need the entire flight control set up and I don't necessarily know if I have it in me to sit here and do an entire BetaFlight setup right now but take a quick
[03:29:01] look there it is hummingbird V2 converted over into a 75mm rig with hummingbird V3 Motors that's kind of cool isn't it this camera keeps getting I keep hitting this camera and pointing it where I
[03:29:22] don't want it to be pointed oh man I have made quite the mess on this desk Kevin s's wife fell asleep on the other end of the couch let's see what this thing weighs just out of
[03:29:38] sheer curiosity these these 802s look kind of tanky 24.1 gram not bad wow and that's with a heavy ass goober canopy on it dude 24.1 that's not bad for a 75mm rig [@$#%] that's lighter than the
[03:30:00] meteors damn okay nothing to be mad at there let's plug it into BetaFlight and see what happens here he comes here comes trouble Galloping across the
[03:30:19] floor hummingbird F4 V2 it says look at that P wow I've never seen only one you are that's crazy looking wow super weird so the VTX is external on this thing so I don't I I
[03:30:37] don't know if it uses VTX tables or what the deal is there but we'll find out in a second 3.2 k htz so it's a BMI 270 change this over Maximum warming angle is set okay LED strip OSD air mode
[03:30:56] everything looks good here save and reboot all right nose down nose up roll left roll right yall left yall right okay that's all good power and Battery whatever it's fine fail safe doesn't really matter but
[03:31:23] whatever what's up 661 661 says just got here did you say 24 grams is light is a light 75 are you kidding minor 20.5 and 21.5 gry dry it's great for you I build heavier ones
[03:31:42] with bigger Motors and more power presets whatever we don't need that pin tuning what's happening here all right let's just adjust a couple things real quick turn TX back
[03:32:03] on a little bit extra on Pitch whoa that Master multiplier is high Jesus let's just chill that out a little bit 30 and 30 all right Jitter reduction is a little low let me actually do a preset
[03:32:23] Express lrs 250 and then we're going to go HD freestyle that's going to add some that's going to add some smoothing stick smoothing this is on BetaFlight 4.3.1 look at
[03:32:44] that don't need any more presets this is fine put my rates in here it looks like this thing is somewhat set up so let let's let's give it a try here if I have to go too far into this
[03:33:01] though I'm just going to bail and we're going to take a look at that we're going to take a look at the toothpick that's going to go to 2S but just super quick like here I'm
[03:33:16] going to add a bunch of Gyro filtering because it is a BMI 270 I'm actually going to pull it all the way down to 1.0 one harmonic on the gyro RPM Max frequency can come down a little
[03:33:27] bit here and I'm going to I'm going to kind of leave it here this is probably over filtered but it's should be okay output limited is 100 that's looking all fine receiver
[03:33:42] tab we're going to go to ta8 ER R all right all right add a little bit of deadband okay good to go and modes tab let's get this set up right kill angle mode pull Horizon up on that switch
[03:34:08] position beeper we're going to put on aux 3 all the way down oh look LED low that's fun huh OSD disabled we're not going to run that I don't think it has Black Box nope no Black Box flip over
[03:34:27] after crash is going to be aux 3 in the middle and then for funsies we'll do launch control in the middle of ox 2 save it good to go just for the sake of having a selectable OSD
[03:34:44] let's do this real quick okay Motors tab here's where the fun begins I haven't even put Power to this yet let's see if it explodes wish there was a smoke stopper for tiny
[03:34:59] whoops it didn't explode but it's also not powering on not a great sign although maybe it's just not running the lights oh it's just not running the lights okay that's weird motor Direction I understand
[03:35:17] the risks Wizards start and spin motor one is correct motor 2 is incorrect that means number three is going to be incorrect and number four is going to be right yep let's see if they will reverse
[03:35:31] please reverse yes they reversed excellent stop Motors close let's fire them up here yep everybody's making thrust let's check them individually there's a huge
[03:35:49] delay but the motors are fresh and not wobbly heaps of shite props in props in props in props in great B directional d shots on 12 motor poles motor idle I'll move it up to
[03:36:06] 6% and save and reboot nah analog this is a hummingbird V2 that I've reframed reconnect I'm going to need to grab my I'll do it now no that's WalkSnail OSD where's
[03:36:28] my analog OSD there it is okay so let's grab this and we're gonna put this into the CLI come on OSD canvas width OSD canvas height that's fine all right save
[03:36:46] it I don't need this well I am going to leave this battery plugged in because I'm going to go to ESC configurator and see what's happening connects read
[03:36:56] settings and let's see what this is on blue j.6 48k 10 points medium 125 2 minutes break on stop right settings all right this thing might fly you never know no black box te
[03:37:27] long sensors LED strip video transmitter let me check the OSD yeah battery voltage oh wait no no no I don't want battery voltage I have individual cell voltage turned
[03:37:41] on okay warnings on all three great save it we are ready to go wait no hold on let me fix the postflight Stats come on now the OSD is so glitchy sometimes come on
[03:38:01] back there we go timer one speed maximum no RSSI minimum sure GeForce maximum hell blackbox usage no blackbox number no battery voltage minimum that's a good one current battery voltage
[03:38:17] that's another good one battery current draw maximum that's a good one Mah use that's a good one and ESC RPM maximum that's another really good one save
[03:38:30] it let's see if it flies this is certainly going to need to be bound wow as soon as I unplug the USB the the addressable LED is fired up that's pretty cool oh no I didn't
[03:38:43] I didn't address the addressable LEDs what a what a missed opportunity this Frame is blue so I'm going to make them all blue they'll light this Frame up like a God damn Christmas
[03:38:55] tree LED strip and can I select all four of these look at that one two blue save fantastic disconnect oh hell okay I'm going to try plugging it and unplugging it three times but let's get
[03:39:22] this transmitter ready all right let's see if this works one 2 three transmitter nope NOP no no no B mode press to send bind request yes where's the other module I'm probably
[03:39:49] going to need the other module here it is right in front of me no it's not 3.0 it's 2.5 all right in theory it's still in bind Mode come on come on you little bastard bind up
[03:40:18] bind bind not a good sign not a good sign there a bind button there's a boot Button it is not bound let's power cycle it which never helps but turning things off and on again is
[03:40:52] a good place to start all right so it's not 2.5 let me just put the 3.0 module back in just to just to be sure it might have bound and I just didn't notice it while I'm waiting
[03:41:07] for that let me see if there's a bind button on there somewhere no doesn't look like there is oh boy this might be annoying how to bind humming bird
[03:41:34] V2 power on the Drone push the bind button under the flight controller it might be piggybacked off the boot Button or maybe there's a second button there is
[03:42:11] not a second button so in theory the boot Button will do it let's try it out boot Button there it goes and it says that it's 2.5 but the 3.0 module is in here so let's just hit
[03:42:39] the bind thing oh that was quick that might be a good sign n it's 2.5 here we go we got it we got this it's fine everything's fine everything's fine everything's going to be
[03:43:03] fine why is this module not turning on everything's not fine yep there it goes here we go come on you bastard work work try to hit that boot Button again oh there we go that the boot
[03:43:34] Button didn't click it just clicked that time is 2 it should be elrs 2.5 but it's not what's happening little fella let's try holding the bind button that's always a
[03:44:03] winner that's always filled with fail hold on I'm gonna have to do the juggling thing all right hold that down and plug the battery in release the boot Button it's probably in dfu mode now but
[03:44:36] I mean just for the sake of trying it well this is not encouraging can't get it into bind mode is the current issue and I've got like 30 more seconds of patience for
[03:45:34] this hummingbird F4 V V2 two no this is the one okay well let's try this let's try the C command it probably won't work but it's worth a
[03:46:21] shot come on on you bastard there we go okay so receiver's tab is not going to have the bind button there so let's go to the CLI I forget what the command is
[03:46:40] BND bind uncore RX BN Dore RX [@$#%] oh wait no it was bind uncore RX it just says not supported I'm using a 2.51 module Brandon this was a working rig so it has been
[03:47:15] bound before serial uart hold on tell me if it's oh it is SPI apparently it was not a working rig SPI Express lrs save and reboot all right I don't know if that's going to fix the situation but
[03:47:45] it says right here that it's SPI elrs receiver so needs to be there oh now I have a bind receiver button what what world are we living in holy
[03:47:58] hell all right well not going to complain come on you bastard bind bind no it's not binding oh my God it bound Happy Days Are Here Again cool we
[03:48:32] good it's set up T it's doing that weird pop drop in and drop out thing I don't know why that happens but I've got a rigs that do that and I just ignore it and it goes away let's
[03:48:48] see if this thing flies through the sky like a little birdie and gets eaten by a little doggy it beeps like a quad that's good this battery wire is trying to get into the motors and explode that's
[03:49:09] less than good do we have video we have videothis thing is blue with these four LEDs on it's arms I've got no OSD though that's odd oh you see the OSD just drugg from the
[03:49:27] top to the bottom so the pit Loop is overactive it is double wow look at the OSD what a mess oh the OSD is a disaster hold on let me make sure that it's not
[03:49:46] on pal and it needs to be on ntsc or vice versa get in there there we go all right let's see connect and OSD and it's on auto maybe it's not happy being on auto so I'm going to do
[03:50:13] ntsc it's probably correct all right so the PID Ton's a little overactive it's probably just needs a better filtering scheme but that would mean putting it on to
[03:50:32] BetaFlight 4.5 and I just I don't have the patience for that at the moment so I'm going to actually remove some dterm filtering because if anything it's probably over filtered right now
[03:50:47] and I'm going to back the master multiplier out a little bit that'll get it that'll get it under control all right disconnect 661 says flies like a brick I see how can you tell that I [@$#%] line
[03:51:06] of sighted it for four seconds but I mean I guess anything compared to 20 gram 75mm builds is going to fly like a brick so that's fine oh do I have another battery do I have
[03:51:33] another goggle battery floating around here somewhere please please yes all right so the OSD is a little bit better it's still a glitchy mess though I didn't I guess that's a
[03:51:49] hummingbird thing I didn't realize that but I guess all the hummingbirds have mangled osds strange I wonder why the acro the acrob boards don't have that problem that's weird the OSD goes away as soon as I arm
[03:52:06] it I'm just going to turn the OSD off I have it on a switch and I love flying with no OSD oh boy okay hold on we got something going on whoa what is who's unhappy
[03:52:26] here these props are a little bit beat up let me make sure that they're not like over the edge in terms of being out of balance no I'll just I will need to put
[03:52:45] this on to 4.5 and do Brandon's magical awesome filtering scheme for BMI 27s damn this this meteor 75 airframe is something else this flies really decent man that [@$#%] prop wash is
[03:53:12] nasty though so for example ex right earlier on in the Stream I was mentioning how I I really don't think that a pit tune is going to hold you back from doing anything and right
[03:53:26] now is a perfect example this is a horrible pit tune and yet there's not a single thing that I've missed because of the pit tune dude this thing rails holy hell what
[03:53:52] this [@$#%] thing look at those blue lights lighting up the frame and the ground look at the ground under it hold on I need some I desperately need some throttle Expo man do I need some
[03:54:07] throttle Expo what's my cruising throttle 38 37 38 call it 38 all right I'm going to add a bunch and then where's the midpoint there it is 51 down to
[03:54:38] 308 there we go that'll be better I was looking at the throttle value not where I was going 36 35 37 I'm actually going to move it up to 40 because I'm flying really slow when it's all at 38
[03:54:57] so I need a little bit more I need it to be a little bit higher I should say all right that should be good come on whoa wow that was weird
[03:55:15] where the hell okay come on get out of there that'll be it buddy all right look how bright these blue LEDs are holy [@$#%] the blue LEDs are nuts the coffee table power Loop is just
[03:55:49] brutal whoa okay we're going corner to corner In This [@$#%] let me go ah no no no get out of there you leave that baf PV quad alone
[03:56:15] there it is 2 minutes and 54 not terrible this fly is really decent I'm I [@$#%] these motors make good power [@$#%] not an indoor quad but we were shredding indoor not bad damn
[03:56:34] that is way more than I expected I got to put a little bit of I'll do it real quick p a little bit of shrink wrap on the on the antenna to kind of protect it damn
[03:56:44] not bad dude newbie Dru and Motors make some [@$#%] power all right let's do this super quick tiny little piece of shrimp wrap and we're just going to put it right at the end right at the spot on the antenna
[03:57:13] that goes from from nonactive element to active element and so just drop it over here all right there we go and so hold on let me get the lighter out all right and see you just want
[03:57:39] to slide it over the black stuff just a little tiny bit just enough I'll just give you a little tiny bit of protection there otherwise it'll Kink at that joint and you'll end up breaking the the
[03:57:59] active element off damn dude not terrible hummingbird V2 [@$#%] I'm damn I don't know maybe I'm getting less picky in my in my old age ster says actually for real what quad
[03:58:20] was that seems cool it's a hummingbird V2 moved over into a 75mm frame these these hummingbird 802 25,000 blast I'm legitimately impressed with this
[03:58:37] thing huh fly this thing outside [@$#%] take it on outside tomorrow see what what two quads in one live stream what a time to be alive look at these two things red and white blue and
[03:58:52] black say what you may about the tenants of national socialism at least it's an ethos where can I put these that I'll remember to fly them tomorrow coffee table all right we're not going to do
[03:59:13] the work on this but I think we're going to at least tear it apart although man there is not much work that needs to that needs to be done on this thing this flies totally half
[03:59:31] decent as it sits but it needs 2S to toothpicks need 2S as far as I'm concerned when they're on one M they don't have enough power to push an blade of grass out of the way so every single
[03:59:51] time you crash you have to go chase it down which is just dumb and it's a really good way to lose a rig so Homie don't play that we are going to put this on to 2s
[04:00:03] so that it has twice the chance of pushing and blade of grass out of the way when I crash it and I'm going to do that in the simplest possible way I don't even need to
[04:00:19] take these motors I don't need to take this apart at all all I need to do to this is swap the battery lead and there's a chance I can do that with the canopy
[04:00:34] on it's going to be a little rough but I think I'm going to give it a try what I do need to do is remove these little TPU battery holders because I'm going to swap
[04:00:49] them and so let's do that real quick all right there's one here comes number two all right and the ones that I'm going to put on I have not cut the centers out so I'll be able to run
[04:01:10] individual two individual 300mah batteries and then I can use this little double bt2.0 connector on this guy all right an't that cool all right
[04:01:27] so slide this little [@$#%] on now that's right when you when you first the first time you put these on it's a bit of a nightmare o I remember this being tough last
[04:01:50] time oh okay here comes the other one I'll tell you what they added big old chunks of carbon fiber at the ends in the front and the rear here that seemingly are only here to hold
[04:02:18] these these TPU things on I would much rather them have not had so much carbon here but whatever I guess it's also sort of part of the battery pad so I don't
[04:02:40] know but I feel like they could have they could have made this Frame quite a bit lighter there we go all right cool so now it'll run double 300 MH batteries next up we got to move this
[04:02:59] we got to remove the regular bt2.0 and put the double on I am going to remove at least this one propeller to do that maybe maybe I am maybe I'm not oh boy that is on
[04:03:22] there that is on there it might have just budged though no oh man there we go I got just a little bit in there all you got to do is like get it started and then it's fine I hate to I
[04:03:58] hate to spin the prop on the Bell to get it started that's a great way to slip the Bell on the motor shaft but sometimes like there's just no other option all right
[04:04:09] so now the not so much fun begins Brandon says these mosquito frames are solid they really are like they they they are overly heavy for sure but they're a non removable arm frame
[04:04:33] and so Bravo if the arms are not going to be removable your frame better be Stout as [@$#%] because you replacing an entire frame an entire solid base plate frame for a broken arm
[04:04:51] sucks it's just not how I want to spend my time especially because it takes a lot of time all right we'll get some flux on here ground is on the outside hot is on the
[04:05:11] inside just like the other 2 a as we worked on tonight on 2S it will not matter that this Frame is heavy this thing will rail on these 1102s I forgot to mention this is a 2
[04:05:30] and 1 half inch toothpick frame which I really like the whole 3-in toothpick thing is cool for like long range I guess but for freestyle and whatnot man that is an awful lot of
[04:05:48] float like toothpicks are going to float a lot no matter what because they're outrageously light I I think two and a half is a much better idea but that's just
[04:06:02] me all right let me get some some fresh solder on these leads they've got they've very obviously got lead free solder you're not going to be able to see me doing this but I'm just tinning
[04:06:15] just adding solder to these leads that's the stuff all right let's Huff some more solder fumes what do you say what did I say ground was on the outside right let me get a little bit more
[04:06:46] flux on here I just want to since since I'm doing this in such like an awkward position I don't want to be [@$#%] around so it's worth it to really flux the [@$#%] out of everything
[04:06:59] in that scenario just don't it's going to be a pain in the ass because I'm trying to do this with the canopy and the frame and some of the props on don't make it more of a pain in the ass
[04:07:11] by by having like other [@$#%] in your way what I mean so follow all your fundamentals when you're going to do stuff like this and then maybe you won't lose your mind and smash it into a
[04:07:25] thousand pieces you probably still will but you give yourself a better chance of Serenity Now by following your fundamentals fundamentals all right let's try this I have a funny feeling this is
[04:07:47] going to be a goddamn nightmare but I also think that these cables are going to be way too long but they got to turn like 180 degrees so I'm just going to leave them it's
[04:07:58] fine dog just let out a sigh that would I don't know teleport FV says building a rocket ship tonight I see I mean if this thing doesn't immediately catch on fire it's going
[04:08:17] to blast on 2S for sure these motors are like 19,000 KV I'm going to have to turn them way down this thing made an okay amount of power on 1 s with these motors so this is going to be
[04:08:31] nutty I need more of an angle in this wire here if I have any hope of pulling this off oh boy I hate working on [@$#%] like this I hate working on stuff when the canopy is
[04:08:55] on but let's just see a terrible tendency to like melt the canopy when I do this [@$#%] I mean that was okay that was not great but that's not good
[04:09:30] enough okay I got to hit this again and I need to bring the soldering iron in from a better angle okay let's see here these are castellated pads but I'm just I'm not getting it in the little pocket
[04:09:51] yet there it is I think I just touched the canopy with the soldering iron no I didn't I'm good I'm good oh I totally got that okay great great great great great great
[04:10:04] great one out of two ain't bad let's see if I can get the second one I need to put a really sharp angle on The Wire that's really the only way let's see if I can get this wire out
[04:10:17] of the way here see if I can maybe show you guys what I'm doing all right here it goes nothing how do I get this threaded through there so that it's in the right spot
[04:10:46] come on bastard oh yeah yep yep yep yep get in there you prick come on no no no don't escape come on I need to grab the wire closer to a [@$#%] come on
[04:11:15] blue wire get the hell out of the way okay oh here we go here we go quick quick quick it's there no it's not there now it's there again here we go get in
[04:11:37] there get in there [@$#%] it's not going in hold on she said suck it tbec hell didn't have to take [@$#%] apart oh and both solder joints look really decent
[04:12:13] hell all right I do want to put a little bit more of an angle on both of these wires though they are just smashing into that bottom plate which is not what you want I
[04:12:33] need something something to fish under here to pick these wires up a little bit this will work little spudger will work all right blue wire is good just got to get the white wire sorry guys I'm on the
[04:12:50] wrong camera okay white wire oh we're good there's actually a little gap between it and the carbon love to add a little bit more but we're actually
[04:13:09] okay oh I see what's going on he there we go buddy there it is perfect okay now is the real question will are the cables long enough they very well might not be long enough
[04:13:30] let's see is there a better way of plugging this in flat part up flat part flat part this way let's try this oh man when the batteries get all mangled at the end at the ends they become really
[04:13:48] hard to get through these TPU Jibo jabos a [@$#%] balls well come on there it goes get in there yes use all right there one and come on get in there I might change the camera and
[04:14:20] canopy on here we'll see I haven't really thought about that too much can you go through please there it is all right there's one and here comes the other wa hold
[04:14:38] up kind of just push the tip of the battery against the table to kind of flatten it back out all right flat part down and oh it's way easier once there's one battery in
[04:14:55] it and then there there it is Will these reach oh just barely too jeez oh my God just [@$#%] barely oh no not quite enough it's cuz it's got to make that sharp ass angle ah we got it man that's
[04:15:26] close I guess I do technically have a short stopper for 2S but what the hell let's just go for it if it blows up it blows up hold on I guess I can probably push these
[04:15:40] batteries a little bit farther in right because that's like really flexing the the end of the cable wow no not really I I can't there we go we got a little bit we got a little
[04:15:53] bit there let's see what happens should be fine it's rated to 2S look at that all right well I mean I obviously can't fly this inside so I'm just going to unplug it wow dude
[04:16:16] three rigs in one night what the [@$#%] I mean it's been like four and a quarter hours but oh boy this is like just long enough what is this why won't this
[04:16:37] battery move forward anymore is it just like the tension of these TPU things I guess it is okay they we're fine damn2s toothpick I'm gonna add a little throttle limit right
[04:17:01] now because if I forget to do that this could be a very short lived toothpick to us toothpick dude this thing is going to rail I have a funny feeling this is going to be like
[04:17:20] bananas I'm also curious what version aiio this is DAV says just fly it carefully how to fix dry roll wall right I mean technically yes but boy do I hate fixing it
[04:17:43] I'll put this up in the air outside like tomorrow or something show you guys some footage on Wednesday is probably how this will go down okay Quick
[04:17:58] Throttle limiting session here so let's do seven that's still going to be a assload of power but let's leave it there and I'm going to back these pids off I'm not going to need pit gains anywhere
[04:18:24] near this aggressive with this setup matter of fact I'm going to move it all the way down to 1.1 and 1.4 and I bet you that has all the power in the
[04:18:39] world everything else looks okay oh what is this this is a oh it's a BB brain V4 okay cool well that's perfect because the B brain oh that's not
[04:18:56] perfect [@$#%] sticks the B brain V4 doesn't like 2S damn it we're going to try it real quick because I think this was a giant waste of
[04:19:17] time [@$#%] I forgot about that the I've I've never been able to get the B brain V4 to work on 2S it I forget what it does I think the motors just
[04:19:37] stutter [@$#%] oh damn it I mean it's worth a quick try I already did all that come on man get in there battery there's one and here comes the second one the the V4 used to say it was 1s
[04:20:26] or 2S and then I worked with Kelvin a bunch to try to figure out why the hell it wasn't working I I put one on the tiny lifters on one of the tiny lifters and we
[04:20:38] just could not figure it out and then I think Kelvin went and just changed the description of on the website okay well let's see here Teddy I'm gonna need you to stand back for
[04:20:53] this one my little fuzzy friend because this is not a quad you want to tangle with Buddy Boy I'm going to put it on the desk which is a dumb idea the motors are
[04:21:34] spinning oh my God it hovers at like 1% throttle it the the the motors are unbelievably lazy what is that about that's odd all right so hold on it's in Turtle
[04:22:22] mode ah it's on fire there's the end of that all right well I guess it really is 1S [@$#%] here's what I'll say about that the the V4 the V4 acrob
[04:22:57] B AO is really heavy and it has that crappy OSD problem and so I it's not it's not like an AIO that I would really use anywhere so if there was an AIO that was going
[04:23:19] to catch on fire this is the perfect one to catch on fire damnI just watched it I I was just looking right at the as the aiio and one of the fets started to glow and
[04:23:30] a little puff of smoke came out and then a little flame came [Laughter] out well we tried I went from having a 1S 2 and 1 12 in toothpick to having no
[04:23:51] toothpicks oh [@$#%] trying to see where it blew up might not have been a fet I can't tell actually kind of looks fun fine but it you don't get fire and smoke when it's
[04:24:19] fine oh man oh well couldn't have just left it alone couldn't have just left it and had three rigs ultimate success tonight what's this A this is another V4 so I couldn't have done it with this one
[04:24:50] anyway this I I do have this AO I think this is a V2 so apparently I don't have any extra v3s which is a little scary because they don't make it anymore and the tiny lifters need the V3 let let me
[04:25:06] see what this one is is this a V2 let's plug this I just have a naked acrob B oh wow that says b brain Pro oh my God BetaFlight firmware is not supported except for CLI mode this is on
[04:25:25] either another firmware or it's so old that it won't even come up in BetaFlight I used to have some of the older firmwares but I think I got the other firmwares but I think I got rid of them
[04:25:46] oh I still have emu flight maybe it's on emu flight let's see Kevin summer says type status you're right you're right you're right that should work let me think of
[04:26:06] that what are you on buddy wow it doesn't tell me me wow doesn't give me [@$#%] for info it's is an mpu 6000 wow it doesn't tell me a goddamn thing interesting emo flight are you
[04:26:34] [@$#%] launching yet there we go let's see if it's on emu flight it is no [@$#%] okay what is it's is a B brain Pro DSM DSM us it has an external receiver on it I guess this is a version one
[04:26:51] acrob B hold on let's see doesn't give me any extra info this must be a version one Acro b b brain Pro DSM us from 2020 huh look at this crazy [@$#%] all right well let's do
[04:27:25] this Auto detect let's see if it even finds it oh wow it does oh right newbie drone needs specific hexes oh boy I don't know if I'm going to be able to get the hex for this
[04:27:46] huh B brain Pro DS smore us what the hell how good are you Google B brain Pro hex bro oh my God 450 B brain blv 4 and five that ain't going to do it and more B brain HD
[04:28:28] nope we're gonna have to go back here we are gonna have to go back 4.3.1 no oh man B 4.3.1 release candidate B brain Pro huh targets include oh oh oh right this has a base hex files oh I see I see they
[04:29:09] have been assets well let let's let's see if there's 4.4 oh man I I'm getting more annoyed by the fact that I blew up that perfectly good V4 I just I I I swear they were one to 2S initially I
[04:29:28] swear they were all right let's see B brain Pro B brain BL for brushless I think it's this V1 HD brushed BL for brushless V4 ghost elrs oh I bet you it's this
[04:29:58] V1 let me go back in here to the one that specifically calls out B brain Pro and we'll take a look here B brain BL V1 no look at that Pro 4.3.1 B brain Pro oh DSM even better it's specifically
[04:30:15] says DSM in the thing interesting I guess this is the one huh okay load local firmware downloads this Open flash it ignore the risk it's fine like I said it has an external
[04:30:45] receiver I wonder if it's got DSM built in but then there's a uart although there's no there's nowhere for an internal antenna so I wouldn't think that to be the case B
[04:31:03] brain Pro what the hell even is that B brain V2 is it a V2 nope that ain't it's done connect connect look at that the gyro doesn't work no gyro that is probably the
[04:31:35] wrong firmware then balls well [Laughter] [@$#%] I guess we just start going through the firmwares one by one oh [@$#%] man this is sketchy to do
[04:32:27] this I know what a version three looks it's not a version three oh [@$#%] hold on I actually think it might be a version two I think it's a better chance that it's a version two than than
[04:32:54] version one all right hold on let's see what happens here I guess I'll try V1 thought I clicked V2 apparently I didn't there it goes now it's downloading let's see what happens what
[04:33:11] the hell [@$#%] I wonder if this one's 2S probably not oh man well I can put I can put another AO into this mosquito frame that'll kind of be cool so this is this this is fine th this on 1S I
[04:33:45] have no interest in I flew it on 1S it was a snooze and so if I had to blow it up in order to justify putting it onto another AO with 2S so be it I obviously would rather have not but
[04:34:07] still my mistake okay let's see that's a good sign I it sees that there's a gyro maybe it was V1 oh [@$#%] look at the big brain on Brad it looks like it was
[04:34:25] V1 okay cool I don't know how I would find out whether or not it's 1S or 2S though and because of that I am just going to save it maybe oh hold on there's silk screening on the board
[04:34:47] hold on hold on hold on revision D 191201 what else do we have BL for brushless I think this is the V1 cuz like if you were making a V1 you wouldn't like there there's a chance
[04:35:09] that you wouldn't put V1 on it right like would just make it and then like V2 you're going to put V2 on it but I think this is the V1 B brain brushless
[04:35:28] V1 cool let me do a real quick search b brain brush list V1 let's see if I can find it sort of anywhere oh this that's it oh my God wee bed no way my FPV store now we're talking it'll
[04:35:51] one of these will give me the info on it oh there it is boy oh boy what a blast from the past let's see 2S capable oh damn turle mode capable whoa diversity R oh oh it's an
[04:36:12] external I see it in there 25 M 100 m 5 Ms look at this man just got to put a little little ep2 on it damn what I'm actually going to do is hang on to this in case I need it for
[04:36:32] the tiny lifters I not going to cook another one of these things on 2S that's silly cool okay I'm going to hang on to this I'm going to desolder this this silly little receiver I bet you
[04:36:48] this is an FR Sky receiver oh no there's no need to deside that I'm just going to put this in a goddamn box and this is a backup tiny lifter AO I think there's no
[04:37:04] reason to do something with this I have another V4 here that I will this is going to be a thing I'm going to figure figure out a set of Motors to put on this little bastard but
[04:37:17] th this this guy is going to get a this is going to be an analog toothpick I don't have an analog toothpick at the moment and that's kind of insane so this guy is
[04:37:31] g to get a 1S no well if I build it 1 s and put different motor well these these are 1102s these are pretty big motors but they're kind of low KV I don't know what to do I don't know
[04:37:50] what to do with this Frame I am going to be building a 3-in toothpick with a WalkSnail light setup at some point here this is going to be 2S I'm going to run this on 2S so I'm going to find a
[04:38:15] 2s AIO for this does t RC have a 2S AIO with Els and VTX built in I don't think they do the the 2S aiio that I've been looking at are all VTX lless
[04:38:52] it doesn't have to have motor plugs I am down to direct solder Motors onto this what you got tun RC you got anything good what you got store AO flight
[04:39:18] controller so they've got three one of which is out of stock 2S to 4S we'll just look at each one of them doesn't look like there's a VTX or Els no
[04:39:43] all right what about this one nope no elrs no VTX all right what you got Pyon okay what the hell where the what the [@$#%] really okay there it are there it is there it is there it is there it
[04:40:28] is look at that wow it's like in stock that's insane what if I put that on it no no no I want two s TOS TOS to S TOS is there a thing I can click on the left side to sort by S no BetaFPV f722 Ao
[04:40:45] no no no sub 250 red fox what it's got an antenna huh oh no five amp no no no no no no NOP no no no no no no no no no no no no no it's got motor plugs and it's got
[04:41:24] a UFL elrs no VTX let's just make sure there the other side no nothing flyo one to 2S 12 amp fly oh $100 you [@$#%] ah I don't know about all that I don't know about all
[04:42:19] that it's got what I need though I think about it so it does exist exactly what I'm looking for does exist but man 100 bucks is steep anything else is anything a little
[04:42:41] bit cheaper what one star one review one star that's a little scary Happy M crazy f45 12 amp I don't think this has VTX built in right antenna for either the VTX or elrs
[04:43:01] no it doesn't have one or the other it doesn't have a VTX buil 10 JH MCU no no B FPV have anything no they have to surely BetaFPV has something that's
[04:43:35] 2s crazy f411 what the hell is this 2.4 gig this doesn't have a VTX built in right it's got one plug for elrs one UFL rather for Els no geez the t- motor is 1 s only that's
[04:44:06] right actually have one of these two I forget which one I have bet FPV toothpick F4 1 s only 5 amp here we go 12 amp H 1 s only oh this is the this is the the one that I'm using on the 2S rigs
[04:44:22] that's right well [@$#%] oh they don't have VTX is built in that's right of course no VTX I mean I could run an external VTX but what a pain in the ass that is how is the Darwin what you
[04:44:46] got there's one UFL just the one what do it have is it the VTX or does it have the receiver wny am I not seeing it I blind iPad whatever no matter what it does it
[04:45:20] does not have both elrs and a VTX [@$#%] hell man look at that 2g4 is in stock man come on now how how how are there not a bunch of different aios for toothpick is this
[04:45:41] real life aren't toothpicks supposed to be like really popular didn't didn't rugie make toothpicks like the most popular [@$#%] on Earth what is what what's happening is this real
[04:45:52] life how is this not a thing Darwin what what's this H nothing I guess I'm just asking too much for elrs and a VTX to be on board oh my God
[04:46:19] why oh hi teddy you're sleeping there okay what do you got BetaFPV tell me you have something come on now 12 amp 10 amp elrs VTX come on I have a feeling I'm going to have to
[04:46:35] run an external VTX which seems insane but here we are welcome to Earth no we got nothing we got nothing oh well oh well I'll think about it I I I'm going to have to either run an
[04:47:09] external VTX or an external receiver neither one of which is that big of a deal but I mean still kind of annoying thanks for hanging for the longest live stream of all time friends
[04:47:25] not even close I did a 24-hour one it was a nightmare I'll never do it again ever ever ever I did that when I was a young fella I'm going to do something cool with this though I'm going to do
[04:47:36] something cool with this mosquito 2 and a half inch frame and it's going to [@$#%] rip just not tonight not going to do [@$#%] tonight what' you find
[04:47:54] Kevin Kevin found something on hglrc perfect this is the one obviously obviously this is the one that we have to get oh wait I have one right here maybe maybe the problem is one s
[04:48:11] maybe if I put that on 2S get FPV got back to me and they just refunded me for it and they're like don't even bother sending it back to us so I kind of might as well put 2s
[04:48:25] through it and there's there's actually a chance there was a there was a there was another AIO that I remember quad 66 it was 1 to 2S AIO and I I remember quad 66 tested it and he found
[04:48:45] that on 1S it didn't make like all the power that it should but then you put it on 2S and it was totally fine and so literally this is going to go in the garbage so I might as well slap a
[04:49:03] set of 2S leads on it and it'll either twitch and not work or it'll probably catch on fire or it'll magically work so that's what I'm going to do not now but at some point I'm going to
[04:49:21] put the 2S leads on this and we'll see what happens cool that'll be fun that'll be very fun we have a plan my friends we have a plan be good my friends I will see you
[04:49:41] again on Wednesday at 1 p.m. CF pv.com if you like these live streams and want to see them continue I'm totally crowdfunded help me out join my patreon that helps me the
[04:49:54] most buy something from Etsy I put a ton of new [@$#%] up there oh my God there's also something new on the the Teespring store there it is is in white light blue and black the back is naked if
[04:50:18] if there's a t-shirt design or if there's like an existing design that you want in a different format like hoodie versus shirt versus long sleeve versus short sleeve or whatever let me know and
[04:50:29] I can do it Teespring makes it super super super easy to do that kind of stuff so lots of fun stuff oh and I there's the oh right so it's a it's a it's a it's a
[04:50:45] hoodie or a long sleeve or a short sleeve I didn't realize that they broke it out individually and each one of them has a couple of different colors so there you go lots of ways to
[04:51:00] support the madness thanks friends be good here comes some more tiny whooping from castle crash with the 32 200000 KV rig see you Wednesday friends bye-bye a
