Lol… Nice!
Good luck sticking them all on neatly!
Wrap grade make that exercise easier. Very accurately cut. Laid out with correct sequence to attach. Brilliant “how to” videos.
They may be a tad more expensive than some … but, imo, worth the money.
Any further update from Billy Smarts?
That’ll be the one. Step-by-step … if you pause often.
So I’m 2 minutes into the video, and already I’m thinking a can of spray paint would have been easier
I was just thinking the same thing tbh… I’ve not tried to dismantle a mini 2 yet but I reckon it might yield better results than my attempt to mix 2 bottles of red wine and 300 stickers
I’ve just purchased the attached link. Silver micro reflective tape. £2.89 for a metre of 25mm stuff. What with all the recent posts of missing drones and VLOS helping aids.
I nicked some from work. 10mm ×50m
This is the kind that shows up in car headlights and particularly effective if wearing a head torch—it shines light back in the direction it came from.
Is that what we need? Tape that reflects back in the direction the light came from? Don’t we need something that reflects wider? Not much point if it reflects sunlight towards the sun.
There might be two threads discussing reflective tape.
I’ve seen one member who showed their drone with approx 8 strips of shiny gold reflective tape that glints in the Sun - useful for maintaining VLOS.
Another member mentioned retro-reflective tape, which is more useful for finding a drone that has landed away from the remote pilot, and needs to be found, better used in the dark with a torch held near the eyes (pointing away from eye of course)
Yeah, I should have posted in that thread as well as it was also relevant to the retro tape mentioned.
Ahh, OK. I’ve seen the other thread, will be getting that tape.
Good job you got your hat back, losing that would have been unforgivable Chris. @clinkadink
No Care Refresh on GADC merch!
Think I’m the gold strip culprit poster from a couple of days back. It’s actually 14 strips of gold tape!! The front legs have got some and there’s a thin piece above the camera on the grey body. It’s quite useful on a sunny day, but totally useless on a dull day😂
