thank you sir! it was fun and allot learned.
loading software should be straght but we'll see when volts are applied. ...
i have some studying to do but I go on vacation on the 29th. micro parts arrive about then as well. it was a good thanksgiving!

Looks really good Futura! Hope she loads and flies well for you.

here's the weight

Futuramille · Nov 25, 2017

here's the micro.. ready and waiting for a new motor.

i think it needs less bare wires. all four paracord covers totaled 1g. I got a new o.o1g scale fresh from China today, cool tool. but it seems other than being an extra pain, paracord isn't much weight expense.

BTW - i need a custom hood for the micro. small, thin..around that top standoff, all looks.. who does custom 3d printing?

If you have the 3d file, I will print one for you if you want.

I'm not sure the file exists. thanks fur the offer brother. I'll dust off my cad skills and and .. err well see. meanwhile i redressed the antenna..

i reworked the stack a bit, shortened it 1mm and now the fit is much smoother. I'm tempted to do paracord on the camera wires... sans a custom hood by green, it will help it look the part.

we are golden! this is sweet and smokeless. the smoke stopper was a fun project today.

theGreenOrange · Nov 27, 2017

Lol, I was just looking at making the exact same thing with the LED switch and bulb socket. If my wife weren't out of town, I would have gone to the auto parts store already. I usually just plug n' pray.

HighTechPauper · Nov 27, 2017

Your "Fleet" is coming along very nicely, they look great!

Futuramille · Nov 27, 2017

thanks guys, son needed a hydraulic fitting for a dual caliper rear break setup on the race car. i took a timely ride (i paid for his parts and he drove) to AutoZone.
im not much of a prayer green... and now i still don't have to. it was cool, i got the whole set of Hako (or Hakio) tips for my iron. i used the big chissel one and made quick work of those fat wires. adding the lighted switch is the way to go... $12 not including wire (and i have an extra bulb)
my son demanded a test... sooo... i rather shakily stuck insulated needle nose pliers in the end (like on youtube). **** Skippy.. worked as advertised. cooool

I'm eyeing the new betaflight backpack. <druel>
this would do nicely in red trim.
*Pre-order* Betaflight Hive Backpack

Looks like a sweet pack Futura. Dang I just bought one but nowhere near as awesome as that. Birds are looking really sharp too.

Futuramille · Nov 27, 2017

what did you get Wayne?
i just saw bardwell's review on that pack and ..
im still shopping, $170 is rather high but I'm looking at it in the light that with three cerb quads, fatshark, turanis, laptop, batteries and tools.. it'll be carrying $3000+ in gear.

Wayno52 · Nov 27, 2017

Yeah you carry a lot more than I do Futura. I had a voucher for my local tackle store which was about to run out as I fly more than fish now. Lol. It suits me for the moment was on special for $49 does the job but that new one is really sweet.

I have a LowePro Quadguard BP X2. It is pretty similar to the Betaflight bag, and I love it. If I had to buy a replacement today, I would get the LowePro again. I don't think you would be disappointed with either one.

HighTechPauper · Nov 27, 2017

Those are some nice quad backpacks, I really want to get one someday but for now my regular old laptop backpack is working pretty good for me so I need to wait a while. Maybe I can float the idea by the wife for a Christmas present...
