Yup, we learn how we wanted to play it In the end, that feeling of being able to pull off a difficult lick finally is so rewarding and satisfying, like able to do a clean run of a scale or sweep a clean arppegio, or do a split s or go thru gaps/gates at speed for the first time
And also the world of guitars like setting up/modding the guitars/amps/pedals = tuning/modding quads,radios/fpv gears and all their related accesories.


Haha, I totally agree. I disliked dji, I hated closed ecosystems in many things. Imagine your guitar can only use specific strings(early Steinbergers with their double ball ends )
Too bad at this moment in time, we have no other choice(not counting Shark Byte) if we want that image quality.
Analog opens a whole world of fpv stuffs to play with, was so tempted, recently I almost hit the button for a EV300o thats like 2K just so I can fly a lighter and more reasonable quad and get more aggresive without the fear of losing it too much, unlike those HD quads.
Miss that feeling of going gung ho with my dear departed mobula7. Got stuck in trees many times coz cant see those ghost branches until its too late

im actually eyeing on skyzone which is below 2k. i thought of dji goggle before but in the end after much thoughts and calculations, i find it not worth in a long run as im sure everyone crash their drone a lot. if every time crash n break the cam, it cost a bomb to replace new 1. its so much cheaper if its analog.

im in penang, come learn together

yea i totally understand this, thats why i have gotten the mamba practice board to practice on soldering skill first.
i wont start building one until im super confident with my skill

pm u d ....
thanks

So I took apart my radiomaster tx16s today to adjust the gimbal tension.

It's so much easier to hover now after I slightly tighten the gimbal.

So now the gimbal won't accidentally move yaw or roll whenever I move throttle and pitch

pulled the trigger on DJI FPV Goggle as there's a huge discount now. 1.4k for the goggle itself

Skyzone is a very good FPV goggle for pro use. I've been replacing my old Boscam FPV goggle with Skyzone SKY02 from last year and gave me lots of modding capability and features.

Btw sharing some great flight with my good old FPV P-51D Mustang this season. Now with additional rear cam installed to see whats happening behind the tail.

i ordered the DJI FPV goggle d lol
and now too broke to build a quad

edit: so DJI cancelled all the FPV goggles order coz they put wrong price
back to analog plan

Nothing wrong with analog, you can always upgrade to digital hd on analog FPV google since most have HDMI port input. Just buy Digital HD receiver module with hdmi output an that's it.

Hey guys happy new year!
Btw got something new in my hangar; The EAGLE II. Bought it cheap in kit.
Took one day to complete the build and maidened it in the afternoon. It flies awesomely just like an eagle, flew for almost an hour on a single 3s 2200mah lipo pack. Here my video complete with details of my setup.

you have the best flying area. i'm really jealous. i only have a playground and a field to fly around. which gets boring after a while, in terms of scenery.

nowadays, i'm only flying indoors with micros. need more flight time with the 4 and 5 inch.

Hi all sifu, i need some guidance on Drone, I have purchased a DJI, but due to my area is near to the airport, always need to request to unlock zone, which is quite annoying and not always get approved, I need to use it for land construction, is there any good drone that allows to flight without disturbing on the GPS restricted zone? feel free to pm me.

i think only the big companies have this restriction. the cheaper clone variant usually don't. so, you can try looking into other brands.

building you own GPS enabled drone from a diy kit is also an option. of course, you need to pick the right flight controller to match the DJI feature, like autonomous flight and RTL.

if all else fails, manual flight with stabilization is always available.

Thanks for the reply, anyway is there any other brand equivalent to Mavic Air 2 with No flight limit? Any other guide to build own GPS enabled drone? You meant I can DIY the Drone controller to match the DJI feature? is it possible?

too many clones of the mavic around. i've lost track. some are good, some are just toys. best to look up some reviews. of course, you want to look at the features properly.

for dyi, you build the quad. the flight controller you buy premade. building a flight controller is not for mere mortals . again, it depends on the features you want. for something like a mavic, it's a bit tricky. with the hand gestures and tiny gimbal. those a pretty much proprietary tech. the things you can easily do are the GPS hold, RTL and autonomous flight. depends on the flight controller's capabilities. and you have to program everything yourself.

Micro flying is fun too.
You'll need to go out and survey the area to find big spot to fly. I found more and more place to fly after driving around remote places.

Flying near the airport is a big no no, there's no way you'll unlock it. If you do able to unlock the airport/DCA authority able to detect immediately who is the one who flew it. As a good example two people whom are related to my friend who bought DJI MAVIC 2 flew infront of their home was immediately intercepted by the airport security direct to their home because their house was very close to airport. He don't know how the airport authority able to pin point accurately who is piloting the drone in very dense populated home but suspected the DJI apps may have link and send pilot data to their airport detection system. Because of that they immediate sold off their Mavic. If you do some searching around lots of people caught by them and some are were lucky by given stern warning. Some received love letter from CAAM.

That's why we always build our own drone from open sources.
One thing for sure we never flew drone in urban area and always follow the air space rules, we have our own flying ethic.
* Btw i also own a DJI drone too but nah i don't like it.

Soaring eagle!
Btw enjoy video of my eagle flying at the seaside, having good runtime of almost 1 hour just gliding with the wind and fly tandem with a real eagle near by.

Anyone still flying this season opening of 2021? Dusting off my old classic Tiger Moth and took it out for a spin at big local car park.
