This :point_up:t2: lol

Ok. I need to do some more reading, me thinks.

I have a few weeks until the frame arrives. So hopefully that will give me some time to read up some more, watch some vids, and understand more about what is needed, instead of pestering you three.

Gentlemen, thank you ā€¦ and I mean that.

  • 30.5x30.5mm, 25.5x25.5 or 20x20 mm stack mountings in the front, centre and rear.

Copied from the specs for your frame. This gives you loads of options.

Knowing you Chris and that you will probably be pushing it to the limits for speed runs etc I would go for the best esc you can with 50-60A rating

Not sure. I am guessing that is for ā€˜on site on the flyā€™ tweaks. I am that much of a newbie, I donā€™t even know if I need that capability! :joy:

271

Exactly that lol Ill be honest its a nice feature to have but not essential

272

Iā€™ve never missed itā€¦ I just carry a laptopā€¦ which is actually used mostly for pulling video off SD cards and previewing it.

No problem at all Chris. If theres one thing we like more than spending money on FPV gear, its spending other peoples money on FPV gear :laughing:

Thereā€™s a good app. Speedybee. Youā€™ll need an otg cable / adaptor. Well worth it

Ooooh heā€™s got the AOS frameā€¦ Liked them since I watched Chris (the bore, but too clever man) videos. Heh. And Xing2ā€¦ Iā€™m robbing Clink @ christmas! All good choices!

For the stack, Mambaā€™s are pretty solidā€¦

Thatā€™ll do you. Then youā€™re batteries, and youā€™re done!

BTW isnā€™t there a UK stockist of the AOS frames, considering heā€™s British?!

277

Oh and an ELRS RXā€¦ Might as well get the ranger TXā€™sā€¦ Hmmmmā€¦ Definitely rob him then :smiley:

278

Yep, had to get it from Canada! :joy:

279

@clinkadink Are you using ELRS or something else for the controller BTW? I canā€™t remember know we discussed it the other week?

Hah. Weird!

I guess your soldering is OK, with your wonderful shed, however if youā€™ve not done much of this kind of soldering onto a PCB, I recommend the following:

  • Decent solder (TBS stuff from UMT or HobbyRC stock it)
  • A practice board (links below)
  • Around 400-430 degreesā€¦ Get scared of soldering the pigtail (battery to the ESC), lots of heat needed

No, O3 with the Goggles 2 :star_struck:

Oh you gonna use the controllerā€¦ I seeā€¦ The one that apparently cuts out if/when video doesā€¦ I was tempted to switch to sbus and use that, until Mr. grumpy (Madstech), pointed that issue out!

Not bad with the iron. Used to repair laptops. Have an old Aoyue 2900 that serves me well. That said, my eyes are shot these past few years, need to get some glasses.

285

Youre not gonna hear a buzzer from where Chris is gonna send it! :wink:

I have the beacon, works well :+1:
