My SO has taken to calling this my “limbo stick” and … she’s not wrong?
Since I lettered on #IGOW5 challenge 2 because I can’t yet power loop or matty flip this has been seeing a lot of cradles and one or two successful power loops.

About a half-hour ago I deployed the change that stopped traffic to Glitch projects.
A major chapter of my life (and a small-but-cool part of the geography of the internet) closes.

Seriously disappointing to see some of the best-known FPV vendors start charging Mr. Dumbfuck's tariff prices for gear they have sitting on their shelves.
Might be wrong, but it seems to me that if you have it "in stock" you're not going to be paying more tariffs on it so why jack the prices now?

Post-rebuild flight. Rebuild did not go as planned (replacement VTx seemed to be transmitting but no image and i really wanted to test the motor fix, so i put the old one back). *A* motor still failed on first flight; assuming it’s the same one until i get the logs later. #fpv #drone #dronebuild

A neat thing I discovered while customizing pick-and-pull foam: DJI Goggles 2, Motion Controller 2, and battery fit **perfectly** in the Fat Shark Scout “case”.

A bit muddy in the corn field. Made for a non-existent flight this morning; since one of the motors is still gummed up I couldn’t get off the ground.

This morning’s flight.
Pretty windy at moments. Session ended with a prop strike on my poorly-homemade XT30-XT60 adapter (which i made so i could fly this 3” with 4s batteries)

I stumbled across a useful hack: my thumbs were sore from my radio stick ends, so I tried some thumb protectors that were horrible. Then I tried sticking some of that to the sticks with Gorilla tape. That didn’t work but when they fell off that left the now-non-sticky tape which works perfectly!

First attempts with pick-and-pluck. The batteries are just there for hauling downstairs or to the yard, not for long transit or storage. Also don’t have anything to “watch” on the DJI Goggles yet (I mean aside from a Mavic 3 that I haven’t tried with the goggles).

FIrst XT30 soldering job, and not much of a solderer in the first place. Not pretty, and arguably not exactly safe, but it got the job done!

Been in the market for some DJI Goggles for potential future quad builds and picked up an "open box" Avata Pro View combo marketed as a "RECON" unit from Adorama for about $1200.

me, shipping for my first radio: “I’m pretty sure I’ll want to fly other stuff - I’ll just get a really flexible one from the start.”
me, upon receipt of TX16S: “holy crap this thing’s a fracking monster!”
me, days later: “AHA! the ‘16’ is the number of switches. I’ll **never** use 16 switches.”
