The only thing you gotta watch for is not over discharging your source pack. All the packs I buy for general purpose electronics have over/under current cutoffs, don't RC packs have that?

A phantom with 4m of paracord with a triple hook at the end will mosdef be able to hook your drones off that roof. It'll prob crash in the process, so bring a camera.

Your LV alarm going off any time ever before your pack is dead should b cause for alarm. Either your pack's bad or you're drawing too much.

A weighted net with a line on one corner (for retrieval) works great too.

That wing's awful short :/ You could literally take the whole drat fuselage off, move to a puller prop, and lose no capability. evil_bunnY fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Nov 5, 2016 |

What battery are you running? That's a pretty small prop for a 1400kv motor.

Not on a quad. It might get you ~5 miles total.

For what kind of flying? If I were after a good platform with decent on-station time I'd probably make a tricopter.

3d-printable materials aren't that great for arms and frames, they're more suited to non-structural elements like camera holders.

Gopro means 5 or 6 inch at the minimum IMO, and there's millions of decent frames for that. The problem is that getting into acro miniquads you need all the ancillaries and that means being out 500+ at the low end.

Golluk posted:My short cutting from almost 2 years ago just came back and bit me. I wired the LED strips in my flying wing backwards, so instead of digging them out and fixing it, I wired it opposite at the battery plug (so black is pos, red is neg). So while this thing looks great, it also let off a small puff of smoke when I plugged it in. Wonder what the odds are a TS5823 Vtx is protected from reverse polarity :/

You're not going to lift an action cam with a $100 drone flying on a 1S 0,5Ah battery.
