[00:02:01] what's up friends my name is Aaron Ciotti and my computer is a big old jerk welcome to Monday Q&A we are going to see if we can figure out why the WalkSnail 2S 75mm rig
[00:02:18] exploded and take WalkSnail off of it to get it ready for DJI 04 light and never put WalkSnail back onto it I um if you're going to build a 2S 75mm rig there's really no reason other
[00:02:41] than cost maybe walks now light is a little bit less expensive but the problem is it's going to blow up like the four in a row that I've had blow up and then the 30 bucks I guess it would be that you've
[00:02:56] saved is right out the window because well if it's blows up early enough WalkSnail might fix it for free if they don't fix it for free they're going to charge you half of the value of it so
[00:03:08] you're going to have to pay like 35 bucks probably plus shipping and then again the price savings went right out the window the WalkSnail light still potentially makes sense on 1S 65
[00:03:23] mm because it's about a gram lighter and that's not nothing in the the 1S 65 mil World H if I was going to build an HD 1s6 65mm rig though I would suck up the extra gram and build it with the
[00:03:43] 04 the 04 light I have not had a very hard time on the 1S rigs with the WalkSnail lights not being durable for some strange reason it's the 2S rig that keeps killing them I don't think it
[00:04:02] has I think that's just random I think that's just dumb luck it's doesn't I don't know regardless every single experience that I've had with DJI gear has been that it's just
[00:04:16] bulletproof WalkSnail these all need to go back for repair there's four vtx's in here two in here here and potentially one in this rig that we're going to tear down
[00:04:34] tonight and it's not just me the the resounding opinion of WalkSnail in the FPV world is that it's pretty good when it works but when it works is the the the the tough part there so
[00:04:51] render says could the two s rigs breaking be a weight thing technically yes but I doubt it because they're not breaking after crashes they're just letting go at complete
[00:05:03] random so I've not had one of these WalkSnail vtx's blow up after a crash it's always like run a battery plug the next battery in voltage Regulators dead usually it's the
[00:05:19] it's the voltage Regulators although on one of them the TX and RX stopped working which like okay you can technically still fly that but it doesn't get the arming signal at that
[00:05:33] point and you don't get OSD and come on now what's happening here I've had my hood up all day all right we're fine in the chat I haven't done this in a while fly cadel

[00:07:28] stream but it's been nuts with the amount of people because of 04 and so but I appreciate you all coming through and I don't usually have that many people that I can't like
[00:07:42] give everybody a shout out if you want to hear me read your name all you really have to do is type c FPV into your message and then type other words I would prefer if those other words were
[00:07:52] like a question not just like CiottiFPV red blue green poo poo on me did that rhyme no but I mean you could every time somebody types the FPV into their chat message it lights up an orange for me
[00:08:07] and then I read that chat message if you don't write it in if if you just type things I don't read it I can't read I don't want this stream to just me be me staring at the chat just reading it top
[00:08:18] to bottom right I plan to do something we do Q&A we're going to fly a little bit tonight I've got six batteries on the charger they're all fully charged so we're going to fly some 65mm 1S in
[00:08:32] the house today # six batteries in the Stream title is basically me brow beating you all into flying six batteries a day that's what that means if you fly six batteries a day you will
[00:08:46] be a month from now you will look at your flight footage and it'll be unrecognizable from a month ago six batteries a day is a perfect number if they're tiny whoop batteries you you can
[00:08:59] knock that out in like 20 25 minutes if they're 3in 5in outside batteries basically it's going to take you a little bit longer than that but if you do this every day if you fly 20 to 30
[00:09:12] minutes minimum every single day you will get so much better I promise you there was a year and a half to twoyear period like my second year into FPV second and third year into FPV that I
[00:09:28] decided that I wanted to get really good and I tried all kinds of different ways I tried like like practicing like not just going out and having fun flying like actually
[00:09:40] practicing right like I would fly an entire battery and I would just do power Loops the entire battery and then I would do another battery where I would just do Matty flips right I tried lots
[00:09:50] and lots and lots of different ways to get better the one thing that made me a better pilot more than anything else was just consistency and actually what it ended up being was I decided that every single
[00:10:04] day I would not go to sleep without doing at least 30 minutes in the simulator the simulators are great because it doesn't matter what's happening outside it doesn't M matter
[00:10:14] what's happening in your life if it's 2: a.m. and you're about to go to sleep you can just sit down at it on your computer and rail for 30 minutes and you get 30 minutes of stick time you don't
[00:10:25] have to walk to pick it up you don't have to repair it you don't have to do anything you just put stick time in eventually when when you when you start getting really good the simulator
[00:10:38] becomes a little bit less a little bit less valuable in my opinion and in my experience mainly because the Sim will never be a perfect representation of how any of your quads fly and so when
[00:10:54] you fly in the simulator you're going to have to develop a muscle memory for the simulator and then when you fly any of your other rigs in real life you're going to have to develop a second set of
[00:11:06] muscle memory and once you start to get really good like initially for your first few years right like you're getting all this low hanging fruit and just putting raw stick time in is super
[00:11:19] helpful you're basically not good enough where it kind of matters but eventually you get good enough to we the way that the quad flies in the simul
[00:11:29] is what you get used to and because you're able to put a lot of time into it and then when you go fly in real life you have to spend like 15 20 minutes adjusting and reorienting orienting
[00:11:42] to the way that real life physics are and how rigs fly in real life and so I started to find that backing off on the simulator and spending more time flying in real life is how I was then
[00:11:55] getting better with with with your flying you're going to get better and then you're going to plateau and then you're going to get better and you're going to plateau and you're going to get
[00:12:01] better and you're going to plateau and like through this this eventually once I got up to the point where I was starting to get really decent The Sim would actually kind of
[00:12:13] hurt me because the first 15 20 minutes flying in real life all I was doing was adjusting I wasn't actually getting better or learning anything I was just like readjusting and as an adult
[00:12:26] at that point I was in my late 30s as an adult with real life stuff sometimes you only get 15 20 minutes to fly a day right sometimes you're lucky if you get even that and so
[00:12:41] you know the the Sim is better than no stick time for sure but even things like flying tiny whoops inside the house now that we have back then we didn't have tiny whoops that performed good enough
[00:12:54] but nowadays we've got tiny whoops that are light enough and they have enough power that you can do full three-dimensional flying in the house power Loops Matty flips Dives all the
[00:13:04] things and so railing around a tiny whoop six batteries a day will make you a better pilot in my opinion and in my experience than 30 minutes of sim time everybody's different stick time is
[00:13:20] incredibly valuable regardless of how you get it in for your first few years but if you're running into a if you're starting to get really good and you're running into a situation where you feel
[00:13:31] like every time you fly for real you're spending half of your session adjusting because the Sim felt different pay attention to that and try not simming but if you're going to do that you're
[00:13:44] going to have to replace that flight time with some other kind of stick time right again Sim time on the sticks is better than no time on the sticks the consistency is incredibly important the
[00:13:56] best way to get really good is to pick a build make three of that exact identical build and fly that every single day for 20 25 30 plus minutes that's how you get really good you look
[00:14:14] at guys like steel Davis he flies the exact same rig over and over and over and over and over and over and over again and doesn't change anything until the tech is like damn near Old
[00:14:28] right like he was flying an alien frame like deep into when like the Apex was available and there's a lot of wisdom in that it's makes a lot of sense to just
[00:14:41] keep flying the exact same thing this is a lesson that I learned back in my 20s into my 30s with Motorsport as a an instructor for many years making changes to the car between every single
[00:14:54] event like half the next autocross or track day would be adjusting to the different damper settings the different tire pressures pressures The Wider Wheels the different Tre uh
[00:15:09] etc etc etc so consistency from both a fly every single day and a try to fly the same thing over and over again those two things will make you a much better pilot and when you fly better you feel
[00:15:22] better it's super super rewarding to watch yourself get better as a pilot so that's what six batter is down in the description do it I'm going to probably not fly six I have six on the charger
[00:15:34] but I'll probably fly like four you should fly six though this live stream is 80% podcast you don't need to look at this when the words come out fly six batteries for the next hour I'm not
[00:15:47] going to be doing [@$#%] I'm just going to be reading chat so treat it like a podcast for the next hour get your six batteries in and do that every single Monday Wednesday Friday and Sunday and I
[00:15:56] swear to God you will be a significantly better pilot a month from now do it and prove me wrong or right most people prove me right in the chat raise FPV tagged me and
[00:16:08] said I impulse purchased a sub 250 Nimble 65 with ' 04 I plan to fly a little but would prefer it on a 75mm 2S I think my 7 with 12 amp AO AO suggestions yesterday's live stream
[00:16:24] was specifically about what uh 2S aiio to run on a 75mm rig so just watch yesterday's live stream it was towards the end that we dove into it so we hit all of the different
[00:16:39] options yeah although oh no you said 04 yep yep yep yep yesterday's live stream is exactly what you want tonian says while I'm disassembling everything I own waiting for mail
[00:16:52] tomorrow I'm assuming chonan has 04 areir notes on the way do you have a favorite 1804 for a 300 Gish 3 and half in rig absolutely the xnova 1804 3500 is kind of the god motor for micros
[00:17:09] it works on 3-in frames it's even better on 3 and 1 half inch builds it's got a 3mm motor shaft it is hilariously durable xnova makes fantastic Motors they make a lot of lifter Motors the the
[00:17:23] lifter crowd loves xnova Motors and so the fact that they slum it for us broke FPV people and they make an 1804 is like amazing I've been running the xnova
[00:17:38] 1804 on 3 in and 3 and a half inch rigs for like over three years now and it's just it's just ridiculous the only complaint that I have about the motor is that it's only 3500 KV I wish it was
[00:17:51] like 4,000 or even 4,500 KV but 1804 is a Big Boy motor like that'll crank a 4in prop okay 4-in props are better off with a 2004 but it's if you want like a super lightweight 4-in rig the
[00:18:07] xnova 1804 is great it's damn near perfect for a 3 and 1 half inch prop my favorite is the GemFan 3525 I think it is it's their it's their more pitchy 3 and 1 half inch
[00:18:19] prop it makes awesome power on that xnova 1804 I believe last time I checked the only place you can get that motor is from pyrro drone but just Google search xnova 1804 3500 KV and you'll
[00:18:33] find it they also make that motor with t-mount or M5 Mount I like it with M5 Mount there's a t-motor prop the 3140 3140 that propeller with that motor on a durable 3-in frame it doesn't make loads
[00:18:53] of power but it makes just enough power and it's just like stupidly durable that is one of my favorite 3-in setups of all time maybe my favorite 3-in setup of all time it's just so good and
[00:19:07] you can just batter the [@$#%] out of it and it just keeps going and going and going those t-motor props have unfortunately been discontinued so if you can find them anywhere buy as many
[00:19:16] as you possibly can Island they're they're a very pitchy 3-in prop they're actually a 3.1 inch prop right 3140 3.1 4.0 3.1 in in diameter 4 .0 in of pitch it's a super durable prop is is what
[00:19:34] I really love about it's is the most durable 3-in prop by a mile Islander FPV says did you already check out the new Hoy mod HappyModel mobula 74 on stream I
[00:19:46] haven't man these manufacturers manag to get these things out quick not Google has not indexed a website or have they no that's an 80 mm what what the 80
[00:20:10] mm what what frame is this why are they calling it an oh my God it's a new frame come on man you can't put it in the put it in a regular 75mm
[00:20:29] frame oh tell me this is not a tell me this is not the the oh it is the stupid 45mm props oh God I guess that's okay I don't know I'm annoyed because 75 mil motor to motor with the regular 40 mm
[00:20:55] prop is is plenty it's you get plenty of power what is this motor what a 10,000 this motor is way too low of a KV okay I I I don't like it I'm sure it'll fly okay but 10,000 KV
[00:21:23] is really low yes this 45mm prop is a little bit bigger than what we're used to which is the 45 M which is the 40 mm props 1.6 in but 10,000 KV is too low that that's silly they should
[00:21:38] have at least done 12,000 KV really what they should have done is 14 or 15,000 KV so this is going to be underpowered it's going to have great runtime but who cares about runtime if
[00:21:52] you put a higher KV motor in there if you want extra runtime you can motor limit's down if you put a lower KV motor on this you can't motor limit's up and so you're always going to have an
[00:22:03] underpowered rig that has great runtime but like many people would rather have a build with with better power to weight ratio that you can type a number in to give yourself the extra runtime it's
[00:22:21] just that's a shame that's a that's a super super super shame that they did that cuz that's going to hold this thing back it's an 11 102 motor which is interesting it's going to be a gruner a
[00:22:31] little bit more of a grunty motor than 102 but that's a that's a missed opportunity they should have done a regular 75mm frame regular 45mm propellers a 102 or an 1102 at like 15
[00:22:48] or 16 or better yet 18,000 KV that has that comes with a motor limit and the the newbies will not know what motor limit is and they'll leave it motor limited down to 80% they'll get
[00:23:02] great runtime and they'll have a rig that's a little bit more durable and then those of us that know what we're doing will see in the pit tab that there's an 80% motor limit and we'll
[00:23:11] crank it up to 90 or 100% get the extra power and have a rig that flies better but instead they've built it like this and so anybody that wants good power is going to have to swap the motors out
[00:23:22] because 10,000 KV is just not enough I guess you could put this onto the triblade but the tri blades are a little bit heavy the the the by blades are really really really good because of how light
[00:23:35] they are and then that makes the pit Loop work really well and it makes it feel super locked in in the air so that's a shame it's got the crazy f405 HD AO which is great so I
[00:23:49] mean this this build basically to have something that oh it's xt30 is as well that's a shame so look if you get this build the best thing you're the the go to BT
[00:24:12] 3.0 get when tiny whoop comes back in stock get their 2S 300 M BT 3.0 battery switch these motors out for a 102 or an 1102 18,000 or 19,000 or 20 ,000 KV motor I guess you can keep
[00:24:32] this Frame and keep it on these 45mm props but I've found these props to be super fragile and the GemFan 45mm props are not very well balanced so run these props until you get
[00:24:48] frustrated with how fragile they are if you crash a good amount and then switch the frame switch it to a regular old mobula 7 V3 frame and then you'll have the right Motors already from the
[00:25:02] motor swap that I just talked about and then you can go down to the GemFan 1610 props which are Ultra durable and well balanced and there you go so I mean it's close but no cigar the the
[00:25:13] canopy looks pretty good so you're going to get a good canopy the the amazing camera and VTX system right an AIO that apparently is pretty good I don't I haven't personally run it so I
[00:25:26] can't confirm that but it's probably a decent AO but the motors the frame and the props if you're G to fly hard are going to are going to be a bit of a let down there may maybe the frame is good but
[00:25:43] there's no reason to run this frame with the 1.6 in 40 mm props right and these 45mm props like yes these hqs perform really well but they do this they break in half the Hub is very fragile on
[00:25:59] these propellers and when they break in half you're not going anywhere and so if if you break a prop like up in a tree or on a rooftop or something it ain't coming
[00:26:12] down props breaking is a big problem for me I I because the rig becomes worthless like it you cannot take it off you can do little cartwheels hopefully but if you're flying somewhere
[00:26:26] even remotely unrecoverable and a propeller breaks this thing's probably going to be damn near $300 that's an awful lot of money to lose right so I'll take a slightly heavier much more
[00:26:39] durable propeller every single day and unfortunately at 45 mm which is what this Frame is designed for there are none there are no propellers that are durable and well balanced unfortunately
[00:26:52] hopefully at some point GemFan will make a newer version so as with especially with micros and especially with tiny whoops and just in in FPV in general as time has gone on every single
[00:27:06] new generation of propeller is a little bit better better balanced the GemFan 45mm props are old they're from like many years ago and when they came out many years ago they were as balanced as
[00:27:21] any of the other propellers these HQ 45s are brand new and all of the propellers that come out right now are better balanced just like two years ago all the propellers that came out were better
[00:27:33] balanced than the props from four years ago from 6 years ago right and so hopefully the GemFan will do a newer version of the 45s that are that will be as better as as properly balanced as
[00:27:47] these hqs almost certainly because like all of gem fans newer propellers are as well balanced as as the hqs that's something that we've seen in all of FPV for eight plus years for
[00:28:02] me so level one drone says I got to admit's the intro song is the best got me bomed in my head the kids dance to it while I watch on the weekend they know it's drone
[00:28:14] time that's awesome the the intro song is from like a random dude on Instagram on Instagram is a local guy here in Atlanta I don't remember how I found out his found his info but on his
[00:28:28] Instagram Channel he had a couple of beats one and so I I just messaged him I was like man what what's it cost to buy those from you I've got a live stream blah blah blah I
[00:28:40] want to use them for the intro and the outro and he was like oh man I I made those beats a long time ago what's your email address I'll just send them to you it's all good I'm in finance now
[00:28:49] and sure as [@$#%] he sent me an email with all of them he's like use them for do whatever you want with them I was like cool so I got this folder of be
[00:28:58] the the folder is literally called Atlanta because the GU is from Atlanta and I've been using them ever since notice says Looking Good in Blue bro thank you dude this is a this is
[00:29:09] a really nice like hoodie that I got at a consignment store that's know this brand I don't know whoever they are but it's like really nice got it for like $6 or something I
[00:29:24] love consignment stores man my God you get such good such good quality stuff for like no money and then if you're ever done with it you go back to them and they give you they give you pretty
[00:29:35] much exactly what you paid for it and they sell it to somebody else render says could the 2S rigs oh we talked about that Morton upshot said H YouTube just scrolled me to the bottom for no
[00:29:46] reason scrolling back up to find my place Morton upshot says make sure if you're using 2S makes sure you're on the V3 I burned one up that was on a 5vt rail but it was apparently too much you
[00:30:01] talking about V3 on the WalkSnail lights right I never really thought about that but I'm not I'm not doing WalkSnail lights anymore I am going to get these four WalkSnail lights fixed
[00:30:17] I'm probably going to put three of them up on the Etsy store speaking of the Etsy store I got two big bags of custom length custom extra long shrink wrapped micro's there are 20 and 20
[00:30:32] 20 blacks and 20 whites and I put them back in stock on the Etsy store so if you've been waiting for the the slightly shorter 46 mm micro that ort made for me they're back Etsy store link
[00:30:46] is over on SE fv.com so I'll probably put three of them three of the repairs up on the Etsy store and then one of them I will keep as a backup for the 1s6 5 mm rigs I am definitely
[00:30:59] going to keep one 65 mil 1S WalkSnail rig together because it is legit legitimately a little bit lighter than the DJI 04 light also like for Nostalgia reasons I mean it's only like
[00:31:16] one gram lighter so it doesn't really matter but I've I've I've put thousands of batteries through these 1S WalkSnail rigs chasing the RC drift cars and so it's got a very that was like
[00:31:30] 2024 for me pretty much every Thursday of 2024 I would go to this local Sim racing Place actually that had an RC drift car track on the side and I would do like between 20 and 30
[00:31:44] batteries every single Thursday all 2024 and I did it for a lot of 2023 as well at least that many batteries that that's like when I wouldn't recharge the batteries there sometimes I
[00:31:56] would bring a 6S 2500 Mah U 18650 battery and a vifly and I would cycle the batteries out I would just fly for hours chasing these guys it was so much fun and so there's a special
[00:32:13] place in my heart for the for the WalkSnail 1S 65s also it'll be nice to have like a WalkSnail rig for one people are likewhat's WalkSnail like compared to 04 light inevitably
[00:32:28] and so I won't get rid of everything WalkSnail I'll probably just keep the one 1 S65 and I might keep a 3-in rig I I got I have two I have a three I have a quad
[00:32:43] mola siren F3 and a grind arino which both have WalkSnail in them at the moment so I will probably keep one of those put together maybe I'll keep both of those put together I I as as cool as
[00:32:58] it would be to do a 3in or 3 and 1/2 in 04 Pro build that's an awful expensive 3-in rig and for me one of the things that I love most about 3-in builds is that
[00:33:16] they're cheaper than 5-in builds and I just abuse them and just do silly stuff with them and so for all I know I might leave both of those together look when when you're
[00:33:32] flying freestyle like don't get me wrong the the the 04 stuff is is unbelievable but when you're flying freestyle it's not nearly as much so that those noises are people doing Etsy
[00:33:49] orders thanks guys apparently some folks were waiting for the micro fees when you're F flying freestyle it is much less about the quality of the the video and much more about your flying and like
[00:34:06] how small of a gap you shoot how cool of a location it is right like how low you are to the ground how gnarly the Matty flip was that you just did and so in my opinion like 1080p walks
[00:34:21] snail is plenty of quality for hardcore freestyle and to have like $150 less dollars on the rig you're going to fly it a lot harder and it's probably it's like 1080p is completely watchable nobody is going
[00:34:42] to pull up a 1080p freestyle flight ated it and be like G I Can't nope it's not 4K I can't do it nope you could argue that analog is like over that line and somebody might
[00:34:56] pull up an analog edit and be like G what is this Mickey Mouse rabbit ears [@$#%] I'm not watching this so I'm going to go watch somebody something else I watch plenty of analog stuff I
[00:35:06] don't give a [@$#%] like if I can see where you're going and you're flying is awesome I'm in and quite honestly analog has like a sort of a cool 90s 80s feel maybe this is
[00:35:20] just me being a 43y old man 43y old old man but I have no problem with it CMYK FPV who's done a ton of amazing graphic design for me including the logo he's got a bunch of he's got a 5-in
[00:35:38] build and some some like bigger builds that most of us put HD in that are analog and I absolutely love watching him rip a 5in analog rig around it's super cool and I can see where
[00:35:53] he's going and then I'm and great I'm watching for what he's doing right like we don't watch freestyle for video quality we watch cinematic stuff for for video quality and so don't build an
[00:36:07] analog only cine whoop put a GoPro on top or put 04 Pro in it which is what I'm going to be doing with the first 04 Pro that I have coming the only 04 Pro that I have coming apparently they've
[00:36:19] sold out everywhere which is not a surprise but so maybe I'll leave those two together we'll see probably I will probably leave those two rigs together Half Bake 210 says pinch or
[00:36:33] bi much love I have done two live streams with tiny whoop camera comparisons personally it would be the bi for me the the pinch does this interesting thing where the center of
[00:36:48] the frame is kind of zoomed out and it just for whatever reason I I I don't like the way that that looks but it that doesn't matter everybody is different whatever you prefer on both of those
[00:37:02] camera comparison streams that I did I put I take screenshots of every single one of them pointing at the same thing under the same lighting so you'll get to pick whichever one you like the
[00:37:12] most and that's all that matters for patrons if you go over to C fpv.one live stream hopefully this this info that I'm giving you guys is worth that for three bucks a month you can
[00:37:33] jump onto my patreon and there's a patreon post from like a week or two ago with a link to a Google drive with all of the screenshots from both of those live streams so you can sit there and go
[00:37:45] through these screenshots and look at each one of these cameras not having to look at look at it through YouTube's awful live stream compression so well worth it join my Pat on it's the
[00:37:58] only way that I can continue to do this full-time it's the only way that I can do as good of a job at this as I do and the more people that join the patreon the more stuff that I can buy to
[00:38:08] test so it it's full circle my friends and come on now three bucks a month you can do it if you got an extra two bucks a month though first Monday of every month I do giveaways and the $5 a
[00:38:20] month tier will enter you to win tiny whoop tiny whoop and toothpick Parts usually it's like 50 plus dollars worth of so as soon as you win one of those it pays for that extra two bucks a month
[00:38:31] for like 15,000 years that's how math Works quad workor says first timer good to have you brother thanks for coming over Curtis Hayes says red blue red blue green poooo on me Mech
[00:38:46] 6288 says just got some Dominator goggles in a kit hell analog for Life notice there aren't many bind andly WalkSnail HD kits might that change or WalkSnail sinking
[00:39:01] ship oh I mean WalkSnail is really good don't get me wrong it's really good the 04 stuff is stupidly good so WalkSnail stuff is is significantly less
[00:39:23] expensive and it's really good period straight up it's not as good as 03 03 has come down in price quite a bit there's going to be a lot of 03 stuff available used but WalkSnail will probably
[00:39:38] still be cheaper than it don't quote me on that but WalkSnail is great it's really really really good it's just that DJI is a much bigger company with and they can really throw their weight
[00:39:50] around in that respect and so when I fly WalkSnail I absolutely love it 1080p it looks great 60 frames a second no complaints whatsoever the 04 system is higher
[00:40:09] quality it's higher it's higher quality with better range I've I've not once been flying WalkSnail and been like man I would be having so much more fun if I had
[00:40:23] slightly better video quality and slightly better range what I'm saying like the the the performance of WalkSnail is so good I'm going to leave it there whether
[00:40:38] or not the 04 stuff sinks WalkSnail I have no idea I have a feeling that WalkSnail will put something else out sooner than later that's like really really good maybe almost as good as the 04
[00:40:51] system right like they did that with the Moonlight stuff it was almost as good as 03 there are advantages to WalkSnail more namely like more options right DJI is like a closed system it's the 04
[00:41:07] light VTX camera no no different camera no low light camera no none of that stuff or the 04 Pro btx Camera that's it you probably don't need those options but options are fun right and so I
[00:41:25] hope that WalkSnail doesn't go away because they make some really cool products and more choice is always better than less right there's someone that there's not just someone there are
[00:41:37] plenty of people out there that WalkSnail is the perfect option for them careful with the hype train right like 04 Pro is insanely good but do you really need that much range and do you
[00:41:51] really need 4K like I I want slash need 4K because I'm flying professional gigs for hobbyists who's going to like who watches your flight footage your significant other do they care if it's
[00:42:08] 4K or not they just want to it to be over with so that they can walk away and do something that they're they're they're sick of watching you fly sorry but they are everyone is everyone other
[00:42:21] than us is sick of watching us fly it's only cool to us so what I mean like like the the the 04 is is incredible no question about that but I would venture to say for most
[00:42:36] people it's Overkill we love Overkill but 90 plus per of people flying WalkSnail will have just as much fun sorry but I I think that's the truth um but I mean use my affiliate
[00:42:59] links over on SE fpb.cc [Laughter] buy4 I don't know more range more range is the better video quality is is overkill for for I would say 90% of the FPV community
[00:43:19] especially For Freestyle it just doesn't matter for freestyle and not that many people fly professional cinematic gigs where you really need 4K the range
[00:43:32] thing all right I get it but the r WalkSnail range is really good like how often like how many times have you run to the end of DJI old school DJI Vista or' 03 or WalkSnail range I
[00:43:49] can't remember the last time I did I I I really can't I cannot remember the last time that I got to the end of an HD video systems range and went oh I'd like to go a little bit farther it's always
[00:44:01] like oh this is a good spot to turn around and then I come bombing back and the range is really good like old school DJ all of the HD video systems other than HD Zer sorry
[00:44:13] guys the range is unbelievably good and most of the time it's plenty oh I could go another quarter of a mile well okay just going down the street how'd that go for
[00:44:31] you I don't know WalkSnail s really good drone do says what's the best 2S HD AIO for mobula 7 frame go to the uh live stream yesterday we spent about a half
[00:44:46] an hour at the end of the live stream talking about that going through all the options there is no best just different and we covered a lot of the a lot of the ins and outs of what makes
[00:44:55] them different uh but remember there is no best No Such Thing especially because the person on the internet their best has nothing to do with you I'm a completely different pilot I have a
[00:45:06] completely different set of wants and needs I fly professional gigs I fly live on these live streams I fly here in Atlanta you probably don't do any of those things and that's going to make
[00:45:20] your set of requirements completely different so when you see somebody on the internet saying best all they're talking about is the best for them and you're a different person than them so
[00:45:32] it doesn't really matter to you there is no best there's just different look at the different options weigh out the pluses and minuses look for people that actually talk about the pluses and
[00:45:42] minuses stay away in in my opinion from people that just have 8,000 thumbnails that all say this is the best ever buy it now you pleb bastards and make make the decision fore you as a pilot I
[00:45:58] actually one of the things over on C fpv.one that's been doing this for eight years to help you out and answer questions with real answers rather than the terrible answers that you get from
[00:46:15] Facebook groups and Reddit the three things that I do are I help you in the flight simulator we do uh flight instruction pit tuning tune your Rigs and teach you how to tune at the same
[00:46:29] time and the third thing that in my opinion has the most value is what I call build planning in that build planning I've got this big sheet of questions that I ask you I have to ask
[00:46:39] you these 20 plus questions to be able to dial in on what you fly where you fly how often you crash how hard you crash what you're doing with the flight footage what the future holds for you an
[00:46:51] FPV all these different things in order for me to have a chance at figuring out what the best build is for you I've been doing this a long time and so I do a really good job of that but the
[00:47:03] answers to all of those questions are absolutely essential to be able to actually come close to figuring that out hopefully that makes sense AB Ham's in the house what's up dude he
[00:47:14] says red blue green poo poo poo on me shade says have you seen sub 250 new 04 drones it depends on which sub 50 you mean if you mean sub 250g on Instagram yes they're that guy's awesome I I
[00:47:29] love he's one of my favorite people on Instagram if you're talking about sub 250 the company then no I've not seen ninja monkey FPV another great name says is there any reason my 1S 65mm
[00:47:42] walks snail build won't arm everything is wired correctly and have sticks switches working in BetaFlight H there's about a thousand Reasons brother I mean there's so in beta
[00:47:57] flight so plug it into USB connect to it in BetaFlight off on the right side of BetaFlight there there's an arming Flags in that arming Flags there are going to be potentially the reasons that
[00:48:13] it's not arming one of the very first questions that like like so if if you were to do to buy a half an hour of my time through Fiverr and we were to troubleshoot
[00:48:25] this the very first thing would ask you would be has it ever armed has it ever worked if it has then when did it stop working and then what happened right before it stopped working whatever
[00:48:38] H happened right before it stopped working that's the problem did you bash it into a metal pole at Full Throttle well then you broke it you're going to have to replace the AI right and so
[00:48:50] that that is that is how we troubleshoot this message doesn't have much information so I'm just blindfolded throwing darts at a dart board but there's a couple things for you to
[00:49:01] for you to check a feel 4 myg says I'm going to detect solder the 04 light wires to my AO I'm confused where to put signal ground and DJI HDL in my
[00:49:16] board I haven't gotten my 04 light yet so I don't necessarily know what wires there are but it's probably going to be voltage round TX and RX the TX on the VTX goes to the RX on the AIO the RX
[00:49:36] on the VTX goes to the TX on the AIO and you want to pay attention to the number associated with those so on the AIO if it's like tx1 and RX1 that is uart1 in BetaFlight and that's where
[00:49:52] you need to go off to the right side and select MSP OSD and then the ground is ground you can hook that up to pretty much any ground on the AIO the voltage source is going to depend if it's a 1S build
[00:50:11] you're going to need to give it voltage from a 5volt pad or you're going to need to wire in an external 5volt backck if it's a 2S or a 3s build you can run direct voltage to it
[00:50:24] that there you go that's how you wire up any HD VTX Joshua Bardwell has some incredible how-to videos how to start from scratch how to build a rig guarantee you that his most recent
[00:50:42] and probably the the series that he did before that there's going to be a specific video on how to wire up DJI Vista or WalkSnail or 03 and he'll dive into it and literally show you
[00:50:57] how to do it his his build series are unmatched Captain Calgary says have you seen the 03 armor by Chad's rain I have Whiting Whiting to put oh waiting to put an pound unit that would be three
[00:51:16] that would be 03 he was holding the shift button when he typed 03 so it came through his parentheses pound 03 unit and a Corsair F4U 80 800 MIM on for that's nice dude yeah the the 03
[00:51:30] armor is very cool I wonder if that'll work with 04 I bet you it will what Captain Calgary is talking about is with DJI vtx's they will not go into full power mode although I think on some of them
[00:51:45] there is an option where you can turn this feature off but normally they will not go into full power mode without getting an arm signal from an AO and so for us it's fine we wire it up
[00:51:57] to our flight controller we arm it's gets that arming signal it goes into full power mode and everything's fine for like ground groundbased RC or RC airplanes stuff that don't use flight
[00:52:10] controllers like what we use that don't have an arming signal DJI has a pain in the ass because it won't go into full power mode I had a guy contact me through Fiverr that
[00:52:20] actually it's funny he knew me from Motorsport way back when he wanted to do a he was a fellow instructor and he wanted for track days to be able to bolt an 03 onto the top
[00:52:36] of a car with magnets and have it send the signal back to him and Paddock with goggles on and then he would have comms with them like a cell call for example and a headset and he wouldn't have to
[00:52:48] be in the one of the shittiest things about being an instructor at track days specifically is the morons that show up with zero talent and lots of money in like vets and Vipers it's
[00:53:01] really scary because those cars are really fast and yeah the drivers are not and the the biggest problem is that the drivers have those drivers tend to have huge Egos and so they don't
[00:53:17] really listen to you all that well and they're just incredibly unsafe and if they go into the barriers or the concrete at 100 plus like you're in the passenger seat and you could die and
[00:53:29] so I loved this idea and I talked to him about the when I was on the call with him I was like the problem's going to be you can't go into full power and then I remembered I'd seen that
[00:53:40] armor a couple months ago and I'm like never mind there is a solution for you but at the end of it we realize that on most racetracks most racetracks have a significant amount of elevation
[00:53:52] and so once they get into the and most RAC tracks are like multi multiple miles like 1 and a half 2 three miles and so the back half of the racetrack is going to be obscured
[00:54:04] usually by dirt to Paddock and Paddock is usually like behind grandstands and [@$#%] and so it I just I didn't think that it would really work for him but I I set him up I
[00:54:17] basically went through the whole system and I was like look you're going to spend about a thousand bucks doing this in the world of Motorsports that's nothing maybe just get it and try and
[00:54:25] and see how it goes if you can get up to the top of the grand stands or up into the to start finish Tower you might be able to get enough range for the the whole track but so that was a that
[00:54:36] was a that was only like a couple months ago too that was a really interesting like When Worlds Collide for me it was so funny because like he started talking about what he wanted to do and I
[00:54:48] was like I was like let me guess let me guess hold on hold on let me guess what you're trying to do and I just like he's like how the hell I'm like y dude I get it I get it I get it I get it so
[00:54:58] the the the armor the 03 armor is a really cool little device that'll allow DJI stuff to go to full power mode I think it has a delay it's got like a 60-second delay so you power it
[00:55:11] up and it stays in low power mode for 60 seconds and then it sends a fake arming signal and that kicks DJI stuff into full power mode I bet you that armor that armor will work with 04 because an
[00:55:24] arming signal is an arming signal what I mean like the 04 system has not the flight controllers are what send the arming signal the 04 light or 03 or even old school Vistas they
[00:55:37] they just get that arming signal and away they go so cool stuff shade says the 75mm is it just plug and play or do you have to solder to swap I need more context here shade
[00:55:53] what what what are we talking about like when you say thus 75mm what's that mean what's the 75mm tag me again and give me a little bit more context but by the time I read you tagging me again I
[00:56:06] won't remember this comment so copy and paste this comment or just type this again and give me give me a little bit more to go off of level one Dr says oh wow I actually did purchase
[00:56:16] three meteor 75s and mod them to my specs and fly just those three nice when one goes down pick up in the next until I fix it wow yes hell that's how to do it I I I didn't I didn't dig
[00:56:28] into why building three of the same thing is the way to go but level one drone said exactly that when you build three identical rigs you fly the first one Reckless as hell because you got two
[00:56:39] more what do you care you destroy it you lose it whatever you grab the second one you fly it pretty damn Reckless cuz you still got one left you destroy it you lose It Whatever the third one you back
[00:56:51] the hell off and you fly it carefully and you don't destroy it or lose it and then you go home and you fix or buy replacements for the first two but you're never all the way down it also
[00:57:06] allows you to like take Parts off of the one to fix the other but the point here is that you don't do that because all three are identical you don't have one that's got like one set of motors and
[00:57:17] another that's identical but it's a different set of motors and then the third one is identical but it's got a different ESC no you don't do that those are three different rigs the point is if
[00:57:27] you want to get really good they are completely identical and then you don't have to play this game of wasting time taking parts off one for the other when one goes down it goes into the back of
[00:57:36] the car you pick the second one up you fly it when you get home you fix that one because the the real move is to have a fourth build that's not put together and it's in your toolbox and it's just
[00:57:48] all the parts you have an extra set of Motors an extra flight controller an extra ESC an extra frame so you have a full fourth build but it's just replacement parts a lot of times you get
[00:57:59] antsy and then you put that build together I don't know what's better to have a fourth build but you see what I'm saying here right you have you have at the very least you have a full extra set
[00:58:10] of Motors because Motors are what you kill the most and so you come home rig number one has a blown up motor you swap that motor right out and you're back going you do it that night like
[00:58:21] the the the best cycle of build it fly it repair it repeat for me that I ever got into was you do exactly that and when you come home you fix it you don't do anything else you get right to the
[00:58:36] workbench you fix it with your spare parts and then when you're done fixing number one and or number two you go on the internet and you order replacement replacement parts so that you keep your
[00:58:48] stock of replacement parts so you have three you can do this with two th this this works with two builds it's really good with three though because that when you have all three up the first one you
[00:59:00] fly hard as hell because you really don't care and that's where you learn the most you you you improve the most when you just don't care when you have zero mechanical sympathy this is one of
[00:59:12] the things that I really love about FPV versus Motorsport with Motorsport the stakes are high you're in the car and the car is expensive and so for most people that are into Motorsports that
[00:59:24] aren't independently wealthy that don't have death wishes you have to have mechanical sympathy and give a [@$#%] about being in a car that hits a conrete barrier at triple digit
[00:59:36] speeds with FPV one of the things that I really fell in love with so fast is when I realized like wait a second I can just batter this thing into concrete and it's just like a little bit of money
[00:59:49] especially compared to Motorsports it's a really little bit of money right like I'm safe and it's not hard to fix and you can fix it here in your climate controlled house rather than
[01:00:02] being out in the boiling hot or freezing cold garage punching metal as bolts break so FPV is man boy is is FPV I I I will always love motorport I really will it's a it's a different kind of
[01:00:22] adrenaline dump an FPV will never quite reproduced that but boy does it get close and now with my sim rig and with VR I get maybe 80% of the of the Motorsport itch scratched and
[01:00:38] someday I'll I'll get back into autocross but track days and time trial stuff and wheel wheel racing boy is that [@$#%] expensive and it can get a little
[01:00:54] dangerous it's incred safe but people do die every once in a while very rarely Moss one says when I flew big I had 1804 Apex 4 in analog plenty of Power with no action cam if
[01:01:09] you still have that rig put 204s on it they're even better with with 4inch props MC buas says did you see the Run cam Nano 7 I did not did they skip they they just skipped the six I guess
[01:01:26] what the hell oh speaking of runam Nanos somebody sent me this link the other day I think it was on the was it on yesterday's stream maybe on pyrro drone the runcam Nano 3 is back in stock it's
[01:01:40] more expensive now but the mobul 6 canopy with runcam nano3 camera is in my opinion the best lightweight crazy durable camera setup camera and canopy setup for a lightweight 1S 65mm tiny
[01:01:57] whoop I don't know how long these are going to last maybe they'll last forever because apparently this camera is coming in the current emac TIN Tiny Hawk Nano Scout so maybe there's a lot of these
[01:02:08] but maybe there's not maybe this is the last bunch of them that are ever going to be and so if you want a nano3 snag it this this from what I was told this camera was discontinued like over a
[01:02:22] year ago and so it's a great little camera if you want to see what it looks like the there's two tiny ho tiny tiny whoop camera comparison live streams if you're on patreon for $
[01:02:37] three whole dollars a month there's a post over on patreon with a Google Drive link to all of the images you can look at exactly what this looks like versus all of the other current popular tiny
[01:02:49] tiny whoop camera options so there you go friends run cam Nano 3 I know a lot of you have been looking for it so go snaggy one this is the emac version which is a little bit brighter
[01:03:00] but it's fine it's not analog looks like ass anyway so this is an ultra lightweight camera that that is super durable that fits in the mobio 6 old school canopy which is just the
[01:03:13] absolute king of durability so get you one quad workor says I have several whoops 5 in 11 in total quads that are well over year old rxtx flight controller or all really old firmware as
[01:03:29] far as I know they fly pretty well should I update everything nope you should update nothing if you have a rig that all right so if you have a build that is on BetaFlight 4.2 or
[01:03:40] newer don't do it just fly the damn thing there are practically no noticeable improvements in BetaFlight since 4.2 in terms of flight characteristics if if you're going to
[01:03:56] move if if one of those rigs is analog and you're going to move it to digital they H 4.3 4.4 I think BetaFlight got digital OSD if you're going to move those things to like elrs sometimes you'll have to
[01:04:11] update it for the newer versions of elrs but like BetaFlight 4.2 had RPM filtering and some significant improvements in just the filtering in general and it flies amazing like
[01:04:28] you will maybe get like a 1% or 2% Improvement in Flight characteristics like quality of life stuff going to 4.3 4.4 now 4.5 it's just not worth it like if they're flying good just fly them
[01:04:47] same thing with BNF's when you guys get a BNF for the love of God don't update it's will probably fly worse and it might never fly again when you buy a BNF the company that you
[01:05:00] bought it from that built it a lot of times they've specifically tuned that BNF the target the BetaFlight Target is going to be a generic Target so when you not always but most of the
[01:05:13] time it's going to be a generic Target so any custom tuning for that specific BNF is gone not to mention that there might be things within the BetaFlight uh firmware that it comes
[01:05:26] with that are specific to it that when you update it get wiped out and now it doesn't fly at all and we've even seen certain cases where it's just a it's just a mess it's just a mess
[01:05:39] if you buy a BNF the whole point is in the name when you get it bind it and fly it that's it keep flying it until it catches on fire just leave it alone BetaFlight 4.2 had the
[01:05:53] majority of the the big Improvement from from 4.0 to 4.1 and it flies fantastic I have build I have a bunch of builds that I updated from 4.2 to 4.5 and I swear to God they've never flown as good the same
[01:06:07] it's probably just Placebo but like 4.2 is awesome so leave them alone just fly them or put them on the wall and look at them but update like have a reason to update how about that don't just
[01:06:24] update for the of updating have a very specific reason and make sure it's a good reason don't the reason should not be I like the number five better than the number point2 metaden says
[01:06:38] I have several sets of 8021 19000s that are useless for underground Dr league as it turns out why is that enough Cho for a 2S 75mm with or without o 04 light without 04 light yes with 04 light
[01:06:53] not really 802 19,000 is my favorite motor size for analog 2S 75 that's what this is and it is just so good I have another identical build on 102
[01:07:11] 18000s and it's feels significantly heavier in the air it has significantly less runtime yes it has a little bit more power but I don't like it as much as the 802 19,000 KV rig this is so God
[01:07:25] damn good one of my favorite setups right now that is like the most incredible flight quality super durable and super easy to build is a mobula 71s elrs you change the battery lead to BT
[01:07:43] 3.0 you change the frame to a mbila 7v3 and you're going to want to do motor spacers and the longer screws I will have the motor spacers on my Etsy hopefully this week and then I will
[01:08:01] also have the screws on this week you can get these screws from eBay they are m1.4 by5 and that's it and then you you got to get the batteries which are out of stock right now which is kind of
[01:08:14] annoying but that build will be 802 20,000 KV you're going to motor limit's down in the pids tab to like 80% it is just outrageous here here's some here's some quick footage of me flying that
[01:08:30] exact combo it is my favorite thing to fly right now I'm not even kidding and build all in you're like 120 bucks all said and done and it's going to take you like a half an hour to swap
[01:08:41] the motor lead over swap the frame unbelievable 2025 whooping 802 75mm 2S there you go look how good this flies there me just farting around the yard or the computer will just poop its
[01:09:00] pants I think I need to I think I need to replace this hard drive enclosure anybody know of a good quad hard drive enclosure that's not a million dollars and it has to
[01:09:13] actually be good I've bought two of them in a row and they both suck here you go watch this thing look at this this is so much fun out in front of your house behind your
[01:09:26] house you can technically fly this indoors but it's going to break all your [@$#%] so don't do it out in front of the house behind the house though G or at like a jungle gym forget itthis is
[01:09:37] so good at a jungle gym this is a an awful lot of power I actually like 65mm 1S rigs see this is what this hard drive enclosure does come on man get it together paully shortcut says what's
[01:09:52] wrong with the Newbie drone cockroach 82 it rattles I found that great with 1102 2S it rattles and that frame design is very similar to The Cockroach 75 which is not very durable
[01:10:09] what's cool about it is is it has the the carbon fiber brace but you don't really need that the Newbie drone I'm sorry the mobula 7 version 3 frame is just everything it the
[01:10:24] batteries fit fit beautifully in it's hysterically durable and nice and lightweight it's the one ZIP says upgrading mobula 7 to BT 3.0 should I convert my mobula 8 from
[01:10:39] xt30 to BT 3.0 to use the same batteries for both I certainly would I hate having to have a whole separate lineup of batteries for each individual rig like that's just obnoxious so
[01:10:52] I would do that zip for sure shad YouTube did the thing yet again scrolling back up to try to find my place shade says the 75mm is it just plug and play or do you have to solder to
[01:11:10] swap shade so you asked that before and I said that I need more to go off of maybe maybe I said that after you Reas this question I don't when you say the 75mm I don't know what that is I don't know
[01:11:24] what that's refer ref ing to so tell me more I need to know more just this is one sentence type three sentences and tag me again and hopefully I'll be able to help you
[01:11:37] this time Scotty Scott says that brand looks like Yamaha oh my God you're right it does look like Yamaha it's not it probably says it on the tag it definitely says it on the tag but I
[01:11:50] can't see it because it's on me O A I am M the hell is that O A I am m is that what that is O hold on oh I got a I got a an FPV shirt t-shirt
[01:12:15] on it is oh no g g a i a m g gam g a i I am M really really really nice how how like sometimes you get you get an article of clothing and it's and it's just
[01:12:35] like really nice that's what that is it's just one of those one of like the five shirts that I own that are like obviously just better made or whatever so check out
[01:12:53] G look how this thing flies and look at the run time dude I'm hammering the [@$#%] out of it's 3 minutes 10 in I think that ends up running like 4 minutes and 20 seconds it's so good this is on a 2S 300
[01:13:06] mAh battery it's just outrageous so much fun so so so so so so so much fun it makes like your front yard and your backyard feel like you're flying a 5-in rig in like a big ass
[01:13:21] Office Park it's you got full three-dimensional like doing stalls and Dives and Matty flips and power loops and but then it's also lightweight enough and accurate enough
[01:13:34] where you can shoot all these little tiny gaps like in between your trees and bushes and [@$#%] so good and then because it's ducted you can actually crash it and then
[01:13:44] take back off all of these non-ducted rigs the open prop rigs I would have had to take the Walk of Shame there also they're a lot harder to shoot gaps with the the ducts make these things fly
[01:13:58] more straight instead of sliding all around and so you'll be able to shoot more gaps look at the battery 350 3.53 at a hover still got more to go so good so so so good there it is
[01:14:12] four minutes and 22 seconds bang get you one four minutes and 23 raay FPV says seriously Consignment shopping is the shiz always find The Gem when I go we got a couple good ones
[01:14:32] here by me one of them I love the name one of them is called Uptown cheap skate and the other one I forget what the other one is called but when I lived in oh man when I lived in
[01:14:46] Charleston there was a male only consignment store and they were an upscale Charleston like fancy guys they were a little bit of a more expensive consignment store but it was
[01:15:00] still cheap and you could get really nice stuff in there I missed that place it was called War which I always thought was a really cool name and the guys that worked there were
[01:15:12] like really stylish you could like go in and ask their advice and they'd be really honest with you I I missed that place that place was really cool but like I don't I don't I don't
[01:15:23] love going to Goodwill I don't usually really find anything I'm interested in Goodwill it's a lot of just like Atlanta Falcon shirts and [@$#%] but like a little bit up like
[01:15:36] slightly upscale I guess you could call them consignment shops oh I love it I absolutely love it Martin tanley says you can't use 5.8 gig on a flight controller antenna right only 2.4 but
[01:15:47] the VTX has the 5.8 is that for interference purposes newbie question sorry yes typically video systems are going to use 5.8 and then transmitter links are going to use either 2.4 or
[01:16:01] 900 the antennas are not cross-compatible if you run a 900 mahz antenna on 2.4 it will not work worth a [@$#%] it'll work better than no antenna but it's won't work very well at all
[01:16:15] so you're on the right track Craig Myers says your RC drift car flying is so smooth thank you dude lot of time and effort there very very fun like I I went pretty much every
[01:16:29] single Thursday and had just so so so so so much fun but 20 30 40 50 sometimes batteries every single Thursday like lot of time and effort to get that good
[01:16:47] don't don't expect to be able to get that good that that was quite the the obsession of mine in 2023 end of 2023 into 2024 throttle Expo if you're gonna go down the rabbit hole for for the record
[01:17:03] RC drift cars are a more popular hobby than FPV so there is almost certainly a group around you that is doing RC drift car things like every week once a week once a month whatever find them and
[01:17:19] ask them send them one of my videos and say like uh can I come out and fly around you guys and provide you with some footage like this they'll be like holy [@$#%] that's the coolest thing
[01:17:28] ever yes please come out and then it's just so much fun throttle Expo is super important go to my channel I mean it's super important like if you want your flight footage to look
[01:17:42] good if you just want to go have fun just go have fun but if you want to drop down really low throttle Expo is super super super important come to my channel here click
[01:17:52] the little magnifying glass and search for th throttle Expo you're going to have to put it you're going to have to listen to me for like 45 minutes it's just the way that
[01:18:06] it is if you're not willing to do that don't use throttle Expo if you set the throttle Expo not perfectly it will do more harm than good you have to really understand it in
[01:18:19] these two in these two live streams here I go all the way down the rabbit hole and I really explain it do the one that's more recent this one midpoint Monday dialing in throttle Expo the
[01:18:30] secret for throttle control you got to like I said you got to really actually understand how to do it and then you got to play around with it a little bit but you got to spend 45
[01:18:40] minutes listening to me really break it down because throttle Expo when it's set perfectly it helps when it's set a little bit off it hurts when it's set really off it's hope
[01:18:56] and like you're going to have to change throttle Expo when you change spots that you fly and each individual rig that you've got is going to have to have a specific throttle Expo set up on it when
[01:19:09] I fly here at home and then I go chase the RC drift cars I have to change my throttle xmo midpoint if I if if the RC drift car place changes from carpet to like polished concrete I'll have to
[01:19:25] change the midpoint drastically if I change propellers I have to change the midpoint if I make the the quad a little bit lighter or heavier I have to change the midpoint so you really do have to
[01:19:37] understand it if you're not willing to put the time and effort in just don't use it and just go have fun and just be okay with not being 3 mm off the carpet all the time but if you want
[01:19:47] to actually get down low and really hang out with these guys on their door which is [@$#%] Magic you got to put a little time in but it's worth it because throttle Expo is
[01:19:59] something that once you understand is Magic and it will make your flying it will you'll have more fun flying and your flight footage will look significantly better because it really
[01:20:13] throttle control is the most difficult part of FPV piloting and throttle Expo is a way to make it significantly easier it's not it's not for every rig it's not for everyone you might decide that
[01:20:27] you hate it but pretty much everybody that has taken the time to watch though either one of those live streams and really understand it and mess around with it and dial it in has messaged me
[01:20:39] and been like holy [@$#%] you are not kidding this is Mega Mort upshot says if you're liquidating your walks light boards I'll watch your store I'm converting several of my older micros
[01:20:49] very cool yeah I'll as soon as they go up in the Etsy store I'll come here on a live stream and brag about it because anytime I manage to get something new up on the Etsy store I'm
[01:21:00] super excited and scream about it here meton says my grindo has an 03 it's one of my favorite rigs to fly though you're right I abuse it less than some of the others yep it's just you know
[01:21:11] look we're adults money is money ain't free and you put you got a rig that's $ $500 it's like you don't forget that when you're flying it you throw an analog rig up in the air that's got 150
[01:21:26] bucks in it's like [@$#%] I don't care about this thing at all that's one of my favorite things about flying like old rigs that I that I don't care about anymore it's just like dude this is
[01:21:35] going to be the best battery I ever flew let me break this thing it just sits on the Shelf anyway disabled contract combat Android says just got two micro thanks homie thank you dude for
[01:21:44] supporting me Cole power says in a war between 1080P and 4K the winner is the one with the best bit rate slash that's true too bit bit rate is especially for us more important than
[01:21:57] the actual number of pixels being spit out of the damn thing digital slrs are are the perfect example of that like you can take a digital SLR with good glass that's like 5 megapixels and put
[01:22:12] it up against a point and choot that's like 20 megapixels and every image out of that digital Sr Sr will look better the the number the the the big numbers that everybody like not
[01:22:25] everybody but like manufacturers tend to scream the loudest in in the real world tends to have the least impact not always but it's reading in between the lines a lot of times is where the actual
[01:22:41] quality comes from and bit rate is is an example of that right it's not the big number that everybody talks about everybody talks about 4K well 4K with like 60 bit rate is going to look
[01:22:53] like ass you take like 1080p with 100 bit rate it's going to look way better shade says the sub 250 company has released new drones can you talk about them please I tend to not talk about stuff in
[01:23:11] super detail that I haven't personally flown and abused but sub 250 as a company a lot of their stuff is really wow Jesus a lot of their stuff is geared towards newer folks I think is
[01:23:35] what I can say here I tend to gravitate towards more custom built stuff more stuff from companies like BetaFPV and HappyModel where they're targeting performance versus like making
[01:23:50] them look cool in like fancy colors and trying to like sell them I don't hear very much about sub 250s products which is I don't know it could be a good thing it could mean that they're
[01:24:03] durable and they don't break all the time because things that break are what get talked about a lot but I don't I don't hear many people talking about sub 250 products flying like
[01:24:15] amazing and being like the best they're probably totally fine but I mean there's I I I can't just talk about all of these that it would take the next like four hours but if there's something
[01:24:31] specific that you want me to talk about I I have talked about the Nimble 65 before my basic thoughts on it are that it's a little too heavy tiny whoops need to be ultra Ultra Ultra
[01:24:42] lightweight and these are very cool looking but typically things that are very cool looking are not the best performing and this is a great example of that these are a little bit
[01:24:52] too heavy the canopy is like ultra sick looking but it's also heavy and so they also their motor selection is very low on the KV side so they won't have a very good power to
[01:25:04] weight ratio if there's a specific sub 250 rig that you would like me to kind of take a look at let me know but without having personally used them I'm just going to be able to look
[01:25:15] at the specs and say these motors are probably not going to make much power I I I I tend to not spend a lot of time doing that I I focus on builds and rigs that I've
[01:25:27] personally flown abused and can say like this withstands my abuse yada y y [@$#%] Frank Nicholas says 04 Pro is available everywhere really I cannot believe it's not sold out yet good for
[01:25:43] them make it enough to actually keep them in I'm not going to buy another one yet they're a little expensive and I just got a oh South Carolina unemployment department leaves me a voicemail today
[01:25:58] and say you need to call us I call them and they say you owe us $5,000 I'm like no I don't what are you talking about and they say back in Co when you I got laid off at the beginning
[01:26:13] of Co the company that I was working for was a Healthcare Company all of their clients left so they fired over 30% of their Workforce and so I applied for I had paid into unemployment
[01:26:26] for 20 plus years previous to that it was finally my moment to get some of that money back so I applied for unemployment insurance and I got it they are saying that they called me
[01:26:38] once and sent me one email saying that they needed more documentation from me I don't remember it's was four years ago and that because of that now they need me to pay them the all of the money
[01:26:52] back that they gave me which is like 5,00 th000 and some oddd dollars and I said what the [@$#%] is wrong with you you need to reopen that investigation and figure this out because that's some
[01:27:04] [@$#%] you're going to just call somebody one time apparently not leave a voicemail because if I'd gotten the voicemail I would have returned it I specifically remember doing the things
[01:27:16] that they told me to do which is to log into their awful website every week and answer the questionnaire and say this [@$#%] yeah super super annoying but so I got to
[01:27:33] be a little careful cuz I might need to just pull $55,000 out of my ass when they potentially call me back later this week and say nope we emailed you and called you once and you didn't send
[01:27:49] us a piece of paperwork and so now we're going to stab you midnight Jesus says on my Omni fixo got my Omni fixo in the mail today and it is beautiful everyone should have one
[01:28:02] indeed if you're going to be working on micros or tiny whoops this thing will save you from pulling absolutely all of your hair out this is the Omni fixo om m n
[01:28:16] fixo it is worth its weight and gold this is the best set of Helping Hands by a million quadrillion ion miles this is so good when you move these they stay the regular Helping Hands you move it
[01:28:31] and then it bounces back it's worthless this stays exactly where you put it and the Jaws actually work and they're magnetic and you can like clamp them to each other it's just so good it's nice
[01:28:48] and small so you can move it around your desk easily so when you're working on something you can just go like this so you're not having to [@$#%] solder like this because it's on a big weighted
[01:28:58] stupid ass base and it's got gangly [@$#%] arms everywhere Omni fixo is everything this is like one of the best things you can do to improve the quality of your work the other
[01:29:11] amazing thing is a set of nerd goggles as I call them these are all over the place on Amazon just type in like magnified goggles or magnified headset and get yourself a set of these
[01:29:22] they've got like 2 and a half X inserts in them and then you can actually see what the hell you're soldering to which is one of the best ways for your solder joints to not bridge and look good so
[01:29:34] that they'll be strong those two things will drastically incl improve the quality of the work that you do Co power says 04 light plus N3 is like 350 Bucks new wow that's pretty that is
[01:29:47] pretty cheap I didn't realize the N3 was was only $200 something dollars damn it's a pretty good deal CRA Meer says sent you 10 bucks to add a micro to my order hope you haven't shipped it yet
[01:29:58] I probably haven't do me a favor Craig send me a message on either Discord or Instagram letting me know that because either tonight or tomorrow not
[01:30:13] tomorrow tomorrow I'm slammed either tonight or Wednesday I'm getting all the Etsy orders back out out the door Frank nichlas says 04 light is available Defiance RC just picked up
[01:30:31] just ordered two more damn very cool I'm shocked that anybody has any of this 04 stuff in still raise FPV says so I've been stuck on how to get motion blur into videos I get that we set
[01:30:44] shutter speed double the frame weate but frame rate but ISO is always what gets me tips I live in Florida that's a pretty big coners ation the the quickest I can break that down is
[01:30:59] that you want to fly lower to the ground you want to put more things in the frame that are moving fast and so when you're 10t above the ground the ground is all the way down here and so there is
[01:31:12] motion blur but it's not taking up any of the frame so you drop down 10 in off the ground and now the ground is this far up in the frame and so much more of the frame that you're looking at is
[01:31:23] whizzing pass at a million miles an hour one if you're going to shoot 30 frames a second you can do a shutter speed of 160th ISO has little to nothing to do with this it's about the shutter
[01:31:41] speed the shutter speed is how long for each frame the camera opens its eyes to let light in so 160th of a second is like this 1 1,000th of a second is like this and so at 1 1,000th of a second the camera
[01:32:00] only opens its eyes and closes them really really quick and so there's not enough time for those moving objects to blur and so the lower the shutter speed which is one over a smaller number 130th
[01:32:14] of a second 1 160th of a second 1 12th of a second those shutter speeds will produce motion blur as long long as you're putting a bunch of stuff into the camera that's moving quickly if you're
[01:32:29] if you're flying long range and you're a half a mile up you're not going to get motion blur ever unless like no you're just never going to get motion blur so you have to put things
[01:32:42] into the camera view that are moving quickly and then you also have to be at a low shutter speed 13th of a second 160th of a second one 120th of a second you can get a little bit at 1 124th of a
[01:32:55] second but that's how you get motion blur and then you're going to use ISO and ND filters to make sure that the exposure is correct to make sure it's not too bright or too dark that's the
[01:33:08] that's the the simplest I can kind of break that all down I could literally do an entire live stream about that about the interaction of shutter speed f-stop ISO and D filters if you want
[01:33:22] to really dig into that stuff search YouTube here for like photographers for photography for beginners or f-stop versus shutter speed versus ISO versus ND filters I guarantee you
[01:33:39] somebody's got a video breaking that stuff down photography and videography and flying drones it's all the same stuff it's those four things and they they they do this they cross
[01:33:49] with each other and one affects the other and you really have to understand them just putting an nd32 or an nd16 on is not necessarily going to get you any extra motion blur if you're
[01:34:02] if everything is on auto it's going to give you a whole bunch more noise in your video your video is going to look significantly worse it might get you a little bit more motion blur but
[01:34:11] ND filters don't give you motion motion blur ND filters limit the amount of light coming into the camera and that will then allow you to drop the shutter speed down so that the camera opens its
[01:34:23] eyes for longer right the longer its eyes are open the more light is going to saturate into the sensor so it's not super hard to understand this this stuff either in in a half an
[01:34:35] hour you can have a really good understanding of how those four things interact and your footage will get way better once you understand that stuff so it's worth it we
[01:34:45] are flying cameras like yes a lot of people fly to be fighter pilots and that's totally cool but like there's a whole deeper world to what we're doing Craig Meer says LOL they're sick of
[01:34:56] watching you fly Craig Meer says PayPal you 25 bucks for your humor thank you so much dude very very cool of you much appreciated Moss one says what AO do you prefer for 75mm 1S analog 22 is gram
[01:35:10] 2g4 or X12 for freestyle what AIO X12 the 2g4 only has 5 amp bets and for a 75mm 1S rig I mean for 75mm rigs in general you want to make a bunch of power those are rigs for flying outside you need
[01:35:34] power for outside and the 5 amp fets are like okay but you're really pushing them hard so the X12 is a better choice also at some point you'll come over to the dark side with 2S and the X12 you
[01:35:47] can just put a different battery lead on it and you'll be ready to go for 2S 2s is way better for 7 75mm even with analog Mech 6288 says thanks for answering my question and my Sig my
[01:36:02] significant other is totally sick of watching my flights they all are friends just just stop just stop showing it to [Laughter] them it's if you get something
[01:36:14] that's like really really really really good cool but don't expect them to care if they act if they pretend like they care you're a lucky [@$#%] demo F says I'm finally a patreon again thank
[01:36:29] you dude very cool welcome back to the gangly gang my friend SOS death pilot says what DJI Goggles do you have I have a set of version ones and a set of version twos I'm still figuring
[01:36:41] out if I want to get goggles two or goggles 3 I need to pick and I need to order them because I have both 04s coming chonan says mad tested 04 will go full power without arm signal oh
[01:36:58] DJI very kind of you thank you for that finally DJI Jesus Chris Croft also saying that with 04 arming signal is not needed Jesus took him long enough that's cool zip says I ordered the only two
[01:37:12] tiny whoop BT 3.0 450 MH back batteries they had in stock today do we just wait for more stock or they are there any other good enough batteries to buy
[01:37:25] there will be something cool coming to rotor Riot moving on other than that yes just wait for tiny [@$#%] to come back in stock but start to stalk roor Riot Cole power says yes The Old Ship of
[01:37:40] the's FPV drone or in your case three ships of what is that thesis Thea I don't know what that word is every day with Bruno says they have it on emac as well it's the one
[01:37:56] that comes in the new Scout oh cool it's in the new Scout as well thank you emac for forcing runcam to make their best analog camera of all time again that's pretty cool hopefully hopefully runcam
[01:38:07] is making that camera again because that camera in the mobu 6 Ballack canopy is co power says if you are one step above beginner the first thing you should do upon buying a biner fight is
[01:38:21] dump the BetaFlight config diff for literally anything else that's a great idea great great great idea go into the CLI type dff and then just copy and paste everything on the screen into a
[01:38:34] document it'll save your ass at some point oh almost caught up on chat oh my God it's 11:45 already every day with Brunos we got that got that Co power says 3 and 1 half in SATA 2 and half
[01:38:50] inch 3 and a half inch SATA yep I am sure that the drives are healthy I checked them not too long ago Co power says that thing does flippy floppies for days I'm not sure what we were talking
[01:39:05] about at 11:20 danzel the turble says good evening all you Ruffians happy Monday disabled combat Android says throttle Expo got me off the ground I flew with it for my first year I just
[01:39:14] started flying no Expo about a month ago if you get it dialed in perfectly It's Magic not Balman says what are your thoughts on the Vision 40 from roor Riot with the DJ o4 light it's great the only
[01:39:24] thing I don't like about it is the canopy but the canopy is actually okay Tyler grus FPV I believe is who pieced that thing together him and I have had many a conversation about
[01:39:37] 2s 75mm rigs that setup that he's got there is super similar to my favorite setup same frame same Motors same props so the Vision 40 over roor ride is fantastic Tyler did a great job with
[01:39:52] that Frank digas says Defiance RC inventory came late and no light pre-orders nice people bought other vendors inventory and Defiance RC has some left love it if you guys are still looking for 04 there
[01:40:03] you go Denzel the turbo says aperture is how wide the straw is that's a great way of putting it shutter speed is is how long the straw is frame rate is how often you sip ISO is the alcohol content
[01:40:17] correct exposure equals an ice Buzz that's a great analogy for for for some of those things Moss one says thanks brother for all the help you're certainly welcome and I'm caught up on
[01:40:26] chat there we go let's take a look at this 75mm 2S rig to see if we can quickly figure out what went up in smoke this should be pretty pretty easy to kind of diagnose
[01:40:40] because it put out a big old plume of smoke and then I was like well it's already blown up I'll plug it in again and I plugged it in the battery in again again and it put up another big old plume of smoke
[01:40:56] and then I was like well there's no real reason to plug it in a third time I put it down I was thinking maybe like the first plume of smoke was just like one capacitor sometimes like if one
[01:41:08] capacitor lets go you'll be okay and it'll still be totally fine it's a terrible idea if if it if if you plug a battery and you get a big puff of smoke it's a terrible idea to plug the battery
[01:41:20] in again but I mean it's blown up at that point it's really doesn't matter it's not going to recover from that so you kind of might as well don't do it don't ever do that that's a
[01:41:36] stupid idea like I oh oh it was the what was interesting is that I still got ESC beeps it's the it's the WalkSnail that blew up I can see it I might be able to show you guys
[01:41:55] I might be able to show you see those burn marks on that chip there so WalkSnail s what blew up the the the flight controller is actually fine the second time that I plugged it in I got
[01:42:09] ESC beeps again I was like that's super weird that's kind of why I plugged it in the second time because it got ESC beeps the first time as the plume of smoke came off of it and then I unplugged it
[01:42:22] and I I was like that's weird and then I plugged it in the second time and I got ESC beeps again there is a chance that I screwed this up though so let me let me make sure I didn't feed it
[01:42:37] I don't know ground on power power on ground so the ground lead on the AIO is in the right spot and then the battery voltage wire on the aiio is correct red is red Black is Black that's good
[01:42:55] there's a chance that I reversed them no there's not there's not a chance that I reversed them on here no it's fine oh I know what happened this is not a version 3 WalkSnail light
[01:43:18] VTX the early the early version WalkSnail light vtx's I believe were 1S only and I fed this 2S battery voltage so this is kind of on me but at the same
[01:43:39] time what the hell like they didn't change they didn't change anything about the the WalkSnail light vtx's they look identical between version one and version two and version three so there's
[01:43:54] like there's no way to tell and I I just I just wasn't thinking about it I I took this off of a 1S rig and solded it on here and Cur blammo so I don't know it's it's
[01:44:08] it's certainly partially on me but look if if you're gonna you guys know what I'm saying I'll take 90% of the blame on this one I just wasn't thinking about it I I I totally forgotten that they
[01:44:25] had that the original ones were not were 1 s only can somebody can somebody confirm that for me WalkSnail light V one I mean it's really doesn't
[01:44:45] matter but I'm pretty sure that the the original version of it would not take to us see so this is the current this is the current version and it's 3.1 to 13 volts there you go Morton upshots got
[01:45:02] me back my back version one and version two are 5 volt Max version three is 13 Max so that's a shame but what I'm the the other ones that let go were version 3es and I'm not doing another 2S 75 M if
[01:45:22] you're we're going to do a 2S 75mm build 04 light sorry but it's made by DJI it's almost certainly going to be damn near bulletproof so many people have had these WalkSnail light vtx's let go
[01:45:40] when hooked up to 5vt Becks and that version one and two would take five volt so this is my bad this fourth one is my bad but these three were not my bad and how we can confirm that
[01:45:58] is by looking at that chip I'll prove it to you well one of these the only problem with it is that the RX and TX let go but this chip that burned is obviously where they will
[01:46:12] explode when you put too much voltage to them and that chip is fine on this one that chip is fine on this one and that chip is is fine on this one as well so these were
[01:46:28] not these are not my fault does it say anywhere on this what version it is is there any indication whatsoever oh okay down in the corner V3 so this one's a
[01:46:50] V3 I there's a chance that one of these blew up on a 1S rig I don't totally remember o this one's a V2 but again that chip is not blown up and I remember this one blowing
[01:47:02] up this this is the one that the I had a really hard time getting the the heat SN off of it which could have been a part of the problem what's this one this one's a V3
[01:47:16] so in theory the V2 blew up on a 1S rig I I don't totally remember I I there's a all three of these went on the 2S rig I don't know it's been too long this is but come on two of these are v3s
[01:47:32] what the hell oh I can confirm it on this one let's see what it says down in the corner I'm sure it's a V2 or a V1 it's a V2 that stinks welcome to
[01:47:50] FPV everything sucks all the time time I'm going to desolder these leads from the VTX so I don't I guess I'll send this one in and see if they're willing to fix
[01:48:17] it there it is damn that's a shame well I mean that would explain why it blew up instantly like the second that I put power to it's just
[01:48:28] immediately fried so that makes sense now oh well this AO is good to go which is great news because I really wanted to use this aiio for the uh 04 light build because it has no USB port
[01:48:48] on the bottom and I can slam this nice and low so this is the BetaFPV 12 amp version 3 on yesterday's live stream this is the one that I said that if you can find it's out of
[01:49:01] stock everywhere but if you can find it I think this is the right this is the best the best AIO to go with for a 04 light build and so this is great drop this right back in here and when
[01:49:18] the 04 light shows up we'll be ready to go cool I'll do a little bit of flying and then we will shut this mother down let me plug these motors in and make sure that I make sure that it's
[01:49:33] not blown up because if it is blown up I got to start looking for a replacement AIO I'm just going to plug that one motor in let's see what happens here let's get these bare leads the hell away from each
[01:49:47] other all right and it won't be super loud but we should get a little bit of a motor tone buddy my little friend way to go B FPV way to be durable enough to blow up the
[01:50:03] VTX but not blow yourself up F4 12 amp version 3 if you can find it I think that's the best one the other aios are plenty good though demo FPV says what canopy are you thinking for
[01:50:18] the 04 light build I have no idea it's going to take me a minute to get goggles and so in that amount of time I'm sure four canopies will pop up so I'll I'll figure it out once the once
[01:50:31] the goggles get here metadon says turns out there is an X12 Pro there is indeed someone in Discord pointed out the the it's there's nothing like magical about it though there
[01:50:42] there's no real reason to stress just get an X12 they're awesome Cole power says I wonder if there's an SMD board repair guide who wants repair guy who wants to take a
[01:50:52] crack at replacing that that's true but I mean U I have to send the other ones back and I doubt that anybody is going to do this repair for less than 35 bucks which apparently is what walks
[01:51:05] snail will charge so I'll just let them handle it Cole power says fool me once oops fool me twice just making sure fool me Thrice just for funes Sam S says is there different versions of the happy
[01:51:21] model X12 if so so is there a version that is better than the others the pro is technically better I forget why but it's not like a super important thing so just get an X12 they're kind
[01:51:33] of hard to find anyway so if you can find an X12 in in stock just get it's a great flight controller it's so good for these 2S analog builds just awesome all right let's do a little bit
[01:51:45] of flying it's 1157 look at that we didn't go we're not going to go barely late at all compared to some of the marathon streams that we've had recently
[01:51:57] too let's fly the let's fly rigs with the 04 with the runcam Nano 4 what that means is oh let's do the the RC and power motors so this is cockroach V three frame from newbie
[01:52:23] drone HappyModel 2g4 AO the most durable AO in the world mobula 6 canopy runam nano3 camera ort micro antenna GemFan 129s propellers RCN power 0702 29,000 KV Motors these motors make the
[01:52:43] most raw power they're not the highest RPM Motors though so pairing these motors with the most pitchy props get you a ton of thrust it doesn't get you the highest top speed but it gives you
[01:52:58] the most acceleration and it's plenty it's got plenty of top speed as you'll see in a moment here we go uh folded cell 300 Mah 1S BT 2.0 batteries that have been cycled a lot
[01:53:19] these are not fresh batteries these batteries are actually starting to get old I need to start thinking about replacing them there's our boy he heard the call of his people and
[01:53:32] came on over to protect me from the evils of the tiny whoop all right so we've got a tuning problem going on here all right so the tune is like on the
[01:53:48] edge once it's up in the air it's okay but Behavior like this where when you're on the ground well now that the battery is discharged a little bit's fine but the behavior that you saw a second
[01:54:03] ago that means that your tune is like either over the limit or right at the limit who Ted I almost flew this tiny whoop inside of you my little friend something's going on here so the the it's it's
[01:54:22] potenti a banged up motor or propeller I'm going to flip this thing into Turtle mode I'm going to hold it in my hand and I'm going to slowly ramp up each individual motor what I'm feeling for is
[01:54:34] vibrations is there one motor that's vibrating harder than the other or is there one propeller that's vibrating harder than the other so let's check it out motor one what I'm going to arm it
[01:54:44] motor one it's all right motor two it's all right motor three motor 4 motor 4 is super smooth the rest of these they're not great but they're also not terrible so next up is to make sure
[01:55:09] that the soft mounting next up is going to be to make sure the frame's not broken and so we're just going to move it around a little bit here and look for any gaps in the plastic feels okay looks
[01:55:27] okay frame seems to not be broken look for loose screws looks like we're right there and then look to make sure that the flight controller is soft mounted and there's
[01:55:38] nothing pushing up against it essentially hard mounting it and it looks like we're all right so let's take a quick look this was a working rig as you beat rigs up more and more
[01:55:56] they will more vibrations will make their way into the to the aiio so let's plug this in and take a look at where the tune's at and what the filters are looking like and see if there's any
[01:56:07] anything sort of obvious that we can uh adjust the easy fix here is to grab the master multiplier and just pull it down but in doing so you're going to have a worse pit tune and slightly worse
[01:56:23] flight characteristics you're going to be able to fly it though which is nice come on betta flight stop taking so long this is the window we had open from yesterday's
[01:56:45] stream BetaFlight Jesus come on go there it is okay so pit tuning oh the tune is cranked okay this is these motors are really powerful there's not I don't need this tune to be this aggressive
[01:57:08] this is a bit much so we're going to back this off to get us started here and then let's save this but I do want to take a quick look at the filters to see if there's anything weird going on let's
[01:57:18] pull this dterm filter down a little bit that's going to add some extra filtering there's a lot of Gyro filtering going on let's actually turn off gyro low pass one what the hell why are there three
[01:57:36] filter harmonics on there's a very weird tune on this thing right now there's a really weird set of filters on this right now is what I meant to say one notch one okay this is
[01:57:49] good this looks much better th this I kind of want to turn the pids back up but I I just want it I just want to fly at this point so that will I think what was going on is that there was too much
[01:58:02] filtering with tiny whoops you don't want too much I mean with all rigs you don't want too much filtering with tiny whoops specifically you don't want too much filtering it
[01:58:13] causes too much delay in the filters and with tiny whoops delay is the enemy and as you can see and hear it's now fine and there's no prop wash a little bit there but I mean that
[01:58:36] was like unbelievably aggressive you're not really going to fly that's a bit much so I mean I could probably turn the tune up a little bit tune turn the tune back to where it
[01:58:50] was oh that was that was a very specific noise of this thing hitting the the the main beam of the house I I don't think it's ever made that sharp of a noise
[01:59:10] before and I've hit that main beam about a thousand times oh God oh God it's coming at me it's trying to get me Teddy spaghetti investigates see if we can get a little
[01:59:28] reaction out of him oh God this thing's acting a little weird What's Happening Here what what arm you bastard there it goes oh okay it ain't taking off what's going on oh it's missing a
[02:00:00] propeller that'll do it every time all right it was sitting on my desk and we're back these these RC and power motors the the motor shafts are a little bit thinner than other Motors and so the
[02:00:19] props have a tendency to fall off which is just Ultra annoying but oh God also like the one millimeter motor shafts are too weak as it is the last thing we
[02:00:33] need is for them to be any thinner so I don't love that oh my God I'm having a impossible time hitting that there we go oh this basement is so busy oh let's do another battery if you have
[02:01:02] not done your six batteries today what are you doing do it geez all right here we go back to back let's get warmed up here I should really put like a 100 batteries in a row through one of these
[02:01:20] builds instead of just constantly bouncing back and forth let's do it let's go upstairs for a minute oh oh come on now that was cruel oh my God what is going on okay oh
[02:01:44] boy this might be oh good good good usually this this rug is lava let's get into it here oh God Papa on oh that was weird oh God no dog ball oh we got away with
[02:02:16] it dog bowl is right next to this door here with water in it and also I think I have a shitload of wet stuff in the sink I almost never put it in the sink though I often find myself over by the
[02:02:33] Dog bow oh come on now there we go Teddy's coming to see here he comes oh no that was him coming down the stairs oh I didn't know how that was going to [Laughter] go look at this new
[02:03:02] uh no oh you son of a [@$#%] it's on top of the couch hold on Tedy you can stay down here stay down I was putting it up too high damn it oh God all right buddy
[02:03:52] you do something funny for the people at home can do something funny get it get it there he is there he is oh we got a snarl on that one that is the battery in my
[02:04:17] transmitter getting low hold on let me turn the volume down a little bit oh what stop it let me go let me oh it threw a prop I'll bet be hard to find it this
[02:04:36] time sure did oh it threw two props what these motor shafts suck on these RC and Power ding-dongs all right one back on and I've even done the the little trick that usually
[02:04:59] works to tighten up the the holes in propellers and it does not work oh my God it does not work with these motors oh this quad gate is really difficult to get all the way through through oh
[02:05:24] God rough night man rough night oh it threw a prop again didn't it God damn it come on RC and power really I can't find it this time all right we got to fly something different
[02:05:44] I I I I might bail on these motors man this is just super annoying and I don't know that the HappyModel Motors are so much more efficient let me fly the rest of this battery
[02:05:58] this is a WalkSnail not WalkSnail Jesus newbie drone cockroach light AF frame mobula 6 2024 AIO and the HappyModel 0702 40,000 KV Motors all right this battery's done
[02:06:24] good we're going to fly one more the the the transmitter battery is at 6.6 volts I don't want to torture it any worse than I RDM one more battery this is also on Tri blades GemFan
[02:06:40] 1210 by blades I think I just said Tri blades I meant to say by blades this is also a run cam Nano camera but this is the this is the emac version which is why it's so
[02:06:58] much brighter believe it or not I went through this gate but you couldn't even see that was wild you really couldn't even see me get through that gate I didn't go like that
[02:07:10] enough hey no oh you bastard stop let me through let me through hey I oh I've never done that like route before wow okay what can I link that up with nothing
[02:07:53] ah I tried to like really lay that out and it was just a bit much hey oh here's the new here's the new poster that I got for Christmas it's a big ass poster it's like all the
[02:08:17] neighborhoods in Atlanta and a bunch of the uh the cool like landmarks and [@$#%] Atlanta the city in the woods Motor Speedway in the bottom there Coca-Cola and Midtown and
[02:08:31] Olympic Park downtown there the ferris wheel a bunch of like the there Six Flags Smyrna we are up here towards like Roswell Sandy Springs Dunwoody actually we're up Northeast we're off the map
[02:08:47] actually I previously I lived in off foretta lawrenville would would be like up here basically but very cool Christmas present for Maggie there's the spaghetti
[02:09:12] monster no no no boy no no no so I've realized what he's doing is protecting me from the tiny whoop he does it with Maggie I realized it upstairs so you'll you'll notice he'll keep himself
[02:09:26] in between the tiny whoop and me if I approach myself he will not care I realized that the one day upstairs I I started flying upstairs and he was he was getting all pissy but he was he
[02:09:40] was protecting Maggie it was it was absolutely hysterical and see now he walks away and now he'll go on the couch and fall asleep whatever since says watad I was there for work a few
[02:09:48] years ago at the Gwynette County Public Schools nice Maggie is actually a uh soon to be full-blown professor at GGC going at college right up the street from us o 6.4 volts that's too low that's too
[02:10:06] low don't do that to your batteries Max gir Max G with the last comment of the live stream he says what is a sensible use case if any that made a noise for 0802 27,000 KV with 1 mm
[02:10:20] shaft why do they exist they exist because nobody realized how fragile the 1 mm shafts really were 1 and a half mil shafts are a relatively new thing the use for those is outdoor 1S 75mm
[02:10:40] rigs that you're not going to crash hard or that you're going to crash into the grass only if you start crashing that into hard stuff those motor shafts are not going to last very long so that's
[02:10:51] the use of the the proper use for those Motors cool thanks for hanging my friends I'll be back on Wednesday at what 10 o'clock 10 o'clock on Wednesday I'll see you there we're going to I
[02:11:07] believe on Wednesday we're going to dive into what is the best in quotations again motor for 75mm 2S 04 light builds sound good those of you that have been around for a while you already
[02:11:28] know the answer because we've already gone down that rabbit hole with the WalkSnail build and it's going to be the same thing but yesterday's live stream for example had literally double
[02:11:40] the number of concurrent viewers so there are lots and lots and lots of new people I haven't looked tonight but there's lots and lots and lots of new people and so we will revisit the
[02:11:52] different Motors the 802s the 102s the 1102s we'll talk about motor Heights we'll talk about KV we'll talk about motor limiting all that good stuff C fv.com to support me use the affiliate
[02:12:04] links jump onto the patreon buy something from the Etsy store the micro are back in stock there's some fun shirts available over on Teespring and if you want to learn a lot work with
[02:12:17] me on Fiverr or just message me and we'll schedule it more than 50% of the answers to FPV questions on Facebook groups and Reddit are dead ass wrong like full-blown just stupid dumb wrong
[02:12:32] awful answers which is annoying because that wastes people's money and time and so don't let that be you and don't get your fingers chopped off either cuz that'll be a hell of a
[02:12:47] hospital bill love you bye I'm not ready speaking of 2S 75mm here's another battery from the 802 analog 75mm 2S rig byebye friends I'll see you Wednesday n a n n a
