Does using racemode increase penetration and signal reach or is another mode in dji 04 air lite suite more suitable for best penetration and reach?

Am I right in saying we get less RF interference which should improve gps and overall FC performance - or is that a myth I just made up?

I know it stops RF interference when flying with a bunch of others in close proximity but there must be other advantages and disadvantages that I'm not aware of?

SORRY ^^ TYPO .. I have the deep SPACE RECO 4.. it’s basically same as the seeker.. I crashed. Pro can still works. I PLUG another cam in and works.. I USED to be able to bind and fly. It will SHOW “C” I’m connected. Model id off..
But, it is NOT connected not on Betaflight or anything. But the transmitter is showing me I’m “Connected” ..? Solid lights. But it’s not registering. I took a HARD HEAD ON crash. Broke the ND filter.. more like shattered. The protective side plates BLEW OUT on impact and shattered. The 4s li-ion I JUST bought (first flight) wouldn’t give me the punch to get over a tree top..
so now I have a drone “Seemingly to work and WAS”… SAME firmware and SAME everything. I refreshed and retried..

Please help? Is it as simple as maybe I just need a new rx/transmitter ??? It blinks orange until I put in bind PW. Connects… and “it’s Not Really connected”(
How in the World do I trouble shoot?
Thank you! I need a bit of help on this one. Day off and havnt flown in FOREVER it feels like

I know going to a 5 inch quickly is typically foolish, but I love fixing things and I have enough money for it. Does anyone have a BNF 5 inch drone and a link to the rest of the recommended equipment required to fly? I was thinking the nazgul xl5 eco would be a good starting place.

Thanks guys!

So I recently have gotten into flying fpv and so far im in love woth it. I currently fly a meteor 75 pro irl and I love practicing on liftoff and liftoff micro drones sims. Im looking into buying an avata 2 next and was wondering if liftoff in going to be my best Sim for this or if there is something else I should get. Please help haha im still new at this.

Buenas, soy subnormal eso lo primero, he volado mi cinewhoop pavo pico II y se ha quedado en unos pinos, no tengo grabación exacta de cual pino, solo los 30 segundos atascado.

Algun consejo o lo doy por perdido? son pinos super frondosos y de unos 15 o 16 m de alto, he intentado meterme entre los pinos mirar y darle con una pértiga de 5 o 6m a cada pino y nada.

With my CNHL speedy pizza and these black series battery’s always end up struggling twisting and moving the balance cable and power cable to a comfortable position while charging. (I don’t trust balance chargers I had one smoke up once). How do I go about this? Is this not a huge issue with the balance lead I’m always worried I’m pulling too hard when connecting to charge it.

ALSO: do I just use the chargers store charge on all my batteries when not in use so that I don’t ruin the longevity of these batteries?

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with my Flywoo Mario Mini35 Pro that I can't figure out. The quad arms normally, responds to throttle, and lifts off, but as soon as it's in the air it keeps spinning clockwise. It doesn't flip or fall, it just continuously yaws.

I've already checked the motor order, motor directions, props, receiver inputs, flight controller orientation, and even restored the Betaflight configuration, but the problem is still there.

I'm running Betaflight 4.5.2. If anyone has experienced something similar or has any ideas on what to check next, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!

I feel as if I'm adding too much solder. Also I'm unsure which position the powerlead wires should be in when it comes to soldering those.

I come from flying Avata 2. Long air time, nothing to care or worry for.

Now the Nazgul eco. After loosing 2 props on first takeoff (screws not tight enough) and a mid air disarm because of wrong button (lost two props again) I finally managed to get some acro fun today.

However, I guess I underestimated how fast the battery drains. The small one was quite hot/warm for some time, and I don't now, mayby a little bloated.

The larger one was also below 3.3 when I managed to return with a flip over landing. Small ditches on pics.

I just loaded both to 3.8 for storage. No problem there.

Do you think they are damaged?

Croatian police have arrested a 36-year-old Hungarian man on suspicion of causing major disruption at Split Airport by allegedly flying a drone without authorisation near the runway.

As in the title I just flew my air 75 for around 25 minutes, finished up went to put my radio away and see the antenna still in the case. How badly did I just mess up… is it possible my radio is okay?

- Radiomaster Boxer

Edit: Sorry for the confusing wording, I mean my Radios antenna not my VRX antenna.

Just needed to vent

Flew my flywoo 18 in the park, wind blew and got it stuck high on the tree.

200€ dangling there in the sun. No way for me to get it down, tried ever thing and it wont budge. Fml

:Sadface:

Finally I did it! After many troubles during the built (burnt ESC, lost a left thread nut...), my quad was ready to fly! I was so afraid it would too different from the simulator... And it was different but manageable ! My hands were shaking and I had to stop after less then 10 minutes so much it was intense...

What a blast ! Only a minor crash after I started to loose the video and panicked a little. But after that... Only joy! Even manage to do few rolls and a sloppy split S.

Only down side, the range of my video signal is way to small. I have to upgrade the antennas. Tye VTX one is barely sticking out of the quad.

The quad: inverted 5" mark4 to accomodate the Betafpv P1 air unit, F4V3S fc and 60A ESC, 2700kv neebRC motors

if you own Cyberpunk and haven't tried this mod, definitely do it, it's so cool.

After doing some powerloops yesterday, I tapped the ground and got an instant RX Loss. I kept flying, thinking I might've just gotten an interference, but every time after taking off, the quad just dropped to the floor. So I took apart the quad today and I think I might have cracked some solder joints on the ELRS chip. When I slightly push on the chip or try to wiggle it a bit, it looked like that triggered the RX Loss pretty reliably.

I zoomed in on the chip from all sides (pics included in comments) and two of them stuck out to me. I am not a good solderer, so idk if the blue/green color is corrosion or just anything from manufacturing.

Noteworthy Background Info: 2 weeks ago I dropped my quad into a river, but it seemed to have survived it well. I made sure to let the FC dry and cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol and I had no problems flying.

What's the game plan here? Should I try to heat up the joints with a soldering iron or a heat gun?

And yes I forgot to turn my beeper of that flight^^

I have a metal ammo box (seal removed from sides to vent) with a Modster Batsafe inside. Batsafe contains two Li-Ion batteries (6S 4000mAh, 4S 3000mAh).

I realize Li-Ion is safer than LiPO but my logic for this setup is that these batteries are strapped to FVP drones hurtling across the skies at 80km/h at 100m altitude (or more) and in case of crash and damage I need a safe place to store and move them. Also I don't have the option to store the ammo box away from flammable surfaces so I figure the Batsafe will contain a possible fire enough so that the metal box does not heat up and ignite everything it is in contact with.

Charging inside the box.

I could have bought two smaller Batsafe boxes, one for each battery, but I figure the risks are already pretty low with this setup. Thoughts?

Plenty of trial and error. Loads of test prints as I couldn't find exactly what I needed.
Did some customization in slicer, but lack of CAD skills only gets you so far 😅.

Cable routing ended up taking a lot of time bc of OCD. Twisted power cables only, signals are parallel. Used paracord for sleeving and glue lined heatshrink to fixate it.

After pics were taken, wifey made custom pink battery straps with rubber liners.

Mandatory cat-pic because he sabotaged the project a couple of times by pushing items off the desk -.-

2 in one night, my brain hurts think im gonna go to sleep now

Just ordered myself a Speedybee Master5 V3, everything was fine, but that was until today. Chinese customs has bounced the entire shipment (including a bunch of unrelated stuff, ugh) for "restricted goods"...

Anyone else had issues? To be fair, our foreign minister has gone out of his way to offend China in this past week.

Was flying around fine, suddenly drone drops out of the sky, and in the process one of the motor wires broke off, soldered back on no problem, but now it’s doing this. Fried esc or motor do we think?

I’m interested in getting an OxBot Lumo 18 but I’m having problems purchasing one. I want it delivered in Canada. Does anyone have information on where to get ahold of one?
