Wake up! Time to fly!
I figure at this point I should just start putting all the stoopid things that always happen to me into a record. That way I can go back and laugh after getting over the frustration of the things that happen.
I was out flying today and realized three things. First is my action camera no longer seems to want to work. I killed the lcd like the 3rd day I had it. Up til now it has still recorded fine altho it was locked into 720p 60 fps because I could not see the menu to change it. It now may or may not record even though it powers up. That or it will power itself off after about 30 seconds whether it is recording or not. Battery life is about the same two days of recording so about 10 flights between 3 and 10 minutes each.
The second thing I found today was that after replacing the FC and getting it back in the air and tuned. I recently started getting some vibrations and it started at the end of my re-tuning process so I have been chasing the tune because of the bearings in the two front motors. I can feel the shafts move slightly now Do you guys replace bearings and if so where do you get them and what brand. I know Timkin bearings for automobile stuff was the standard upgrade for my cars from stock. but have no idea small sealed bearing manufacturers for high speed stuff. What sux is I just did my grocery shopping for the month and cut it short so I could order the Gremlin kit so the expendable finances for the month are already gone. Bills Law at its best huh. The quad still flys great it just makes my eyes buggy when I hit the upper range of the throttle in the FPV camera. I originally thought maybe the camera was loose in the case even with the O rings.
Th third thing I learned today is... I SUCK at Split S turns at higher speeds. I hit my gate so many times today.. surpisingly I did not even bend a prop. One TINY ding in one of them is all. I am likeing these Dal Cyclones more and more and will be upping them to the 5051's the next order. These are the 5046's to test how much heat they generate and everything comes down cool so far.. Well maybe not the batteries. My runs are hitting 900mah on a 1300 by the time the 30 second warning is announce on a 1:20 % timer. Guess I am getting faster finally? That or just sucking juice hehe. I did notice the timer needed shortening with the Dal 5045's I had been flying since I built it.
Anyway I did a video with the crappy Split S crashes. The first one I put it in the neighbors tree and ended up having to introduce myself so I could retrieve it from their yard. Nice people actually. Said they enjoy watching it fly and the progress I have made. The last part is the full battery run on the last pack of the day.
