WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT RACE QUADS TODAY

[CheFPV]

@Chef, do you know if the original gopro session has superview?

Sorry, its been a minute since I have had time to check back here. It does after updating.

 

[VirtueViolater]

Thanks Chef, gonna pick one up at bestbuy

 

[VirtueViolater]

Was windy the last 3 days, today its cold and rainy.....geezzzz...lol
I did get 1 pak in yesterday to try my first set of Racecraft 5051-3's, lots of thrust and look cool to boot

 

[VirtueViolater]

Just tried out Dshot again, updated my gfu and fc's, it flew exactly the same as multi shot except that it twitched 1 motor at a time about once a second, twitch, next motor, twitch...all while it was NOT armed....lol. Raceflight has really put some work into their configurator as of late. I also put quopa mode (turtle mode) on a switch, haven't tried it yet but will get a chance to tomorrow. Needless to say, i'm still a multishot guy, i probably need some newer esc's i'm guessing for dshot altho these blheli s spring esc's i'm using are supposedly dshot ready

Spent lunch tuning my Black Pearl build today, this is a pak to check out my tune. Love these BP frames

 

[HighTechPauper]

Tried to watch Virtue but it says video unavailable.

It's just uploading still

 

[VirtueViolater]

It will be ready in 4 mins

I am waiting to hear back from Shendrones. I want to build a 4"/5" Arkangel with Brotherhobby 1407-3600kv motors on the 4" props and Hyperlite (well, probably racekraft for color but same thing) 2307-2522kv motors on the 5" props. But the standard version comes with all 16mm pattern arms. They do make the 12mm pattern arms so I am hopeful it may be possible. That would put me at just over 90g in motors, hope to keep the build well under 200g.

Thats the "T" shaped one? Or i should say cross shaped

 

[VirtueViolater]

One of us needs a cnc cutter

 

[theGreenOrange]

Yeah, it's the smaller of his two "stretched plus" frames.

Good idea on the CNC...

 

[VirtueViolater]

I have been looking at them, want one bad. The sheets of carbon fiber are reasonable

 

[theGreenOrange]

I must admit I have looked too. I want a stepcraft.

 

[VirtueViolater]

Before racequads, one of my hobbies was building lasers, thought about building a laser cutter/engraver but im pretty sure you cant cut cf with a laser

 

[VirtueViolater]

You just use an outline program like you use for a sticker cutter for cnc cutters, should be really easy to program

 

[VirtueViolater]

These Black Pearl frames are darn tough so far.....

Just 1 bent prop
A bug ran up my leg distracting me when i was about half way over the roof....lol

 

[VirtueViolater]

Want to do a roll and keep the horizon in view? its really easy. To roll right, just move the sticks toward each other like this -><- and for left like this <--> away from each other, give it a try

 

[VirtueViolater]

Went to Academy today for a pair of shoes and found hula hoop's on sale so i bought a bunch for gates, gonna try them out this weekend

 

[HighTechPauper]

Great idea! I got 3 hula hoops from when the grandkids were younger, soon to be repurposed as race gates! Hmmm, I wonder what the perfect base for them might be?
thinkthinkthinkthink, ouch, that hurt
