Looking better now… BUT… my plan to whack a big old VTX on this little body maybe hit a snag…
The MATEKSYS is asking for 7v and the FC delivers 5v. That a problem?? Should I wire it straight to the battery?
Isn’t it 7-27v? If it is, whack it straight to the lipo. Which model is it?
A bit different but setting up for FPV, first off the gyro then 3D housing parts for the RX, battery, camera and gyro.
Lovely! But… I’m glad I’m standing well back. In Coventry
Seriously though. Can’t wait to see a video.
If you have time, what is the build list?
It’s a revisit of my first ever FPV venture, the build list is:
Trex 600E FBL
MSH Brain 2 HD FBL
Cyclic Futaba S9252
Tail Align DS555
Immersion RC VTX
Camera 1000TVL or GoPro for FPV
RVOSD Telemetry or Immersions RC OSD
Align 5A 6 Cell Flight Battery
Aux Battery 2 cell 3A
Set of under ware for later…
Here’s a clip from yesteryear…LOS
Ooooh lots of kit to look at there…
But I think your camera lens needs screwing in. Or out. It’s blurry.
And why do my videos stop half way though! Is it because flash is ending? Grrrr.
11 years 480p was king, I uploaded that clip 11 years ago and YouTube has a way of degrading your videos.
11 years! God I was just reeling from a divorce then! Fair play!
Thought you’d say something that makes me feel old…
I have a couple of days annual leave. So I’m attempting to build a 1/10 nitro car starter box using an old speaker box, drill motor, lipo battery, a silicon rubber washer and some 3d printed gears and mountings.
Which plastic are you printing the gears with? …
Just petg. With a bit of grease. They seem to hold up well. A little noisy though.
I have printed spares in case…
This WAS the finished gummings. But it was a complete failure @Steviegeek. The rubber I’ve used is far too soft I reckon. It is compressing too easily and slipping. Barely enough to turn the engine. I’ll have a rebuild tomorrow hopefully…
Aww. that’s a shame but I know you’ll crack it
It’s working now. Not sure how long the rubber wheel will last for though! I’ll keep an eye out for tougher materials at work.
To setup my T-Rex for FPV, I bought a secondhand full axis gyro…MSH Brain 2HD Bluetooth.
To setup, the head geometry has to be near perfect especially as it’s a flybarless head.
Having pissed about for a little while, I stopped being lazy and designed some tools to aid the said perfect head and swashplate.
First the blade grip lock…MKII
