I want to be like Johnny FPV

thedroneracingengineer post I want to be like Johnny FPV from patreon

I've been working on Johnny FPV's "flick" move. Also inverted yaw spins. Here's my last pack of today. I haven't actually flown in like three weeks so it was really good to get back in the air.

Dshot

Dear Patrons,

I'm starting to think about a series on DSHOT. What do you want to know? Some things I have in mind include:

What is Dshot? Why is it better (maybe) than OS and MS?

Why do some boards not support Dshot? What boards and ESCs support Dshot?

How to flash BF3.1 and use Dshot with supported ESCs and ...

FPV Receiver Test Group Two Teaser

thedroneracingengineer post FPV Receiver Test Group Two Teaser from patreon

This is a teaser of the work I'm doing on the FPV Receiver Group Two video. This video is very preliminary, but I thought you'd enjoy it. Note that YouTube absolutely destroys the detail in the lower three videos on the return path, so please don't let the muddy gray blocky video affect your judgment. Look for video glitches to ...

Public D.R.E. Editorial Calendar

thedroneracingengineer post Public D.R.E. Editorial Calendar from patreon

Just making sure all of y'all saw this.

PS: Please enjoy this fine example of Southern American English's unique variants on the personal pronoun. "You" - Singular 2nd person. "Y'all" - Plural 2nd person, not necessarily inclusive of 100% of the group. "All of y'all" - Plural 2nd person, inclusive of 100% of the group.

Power Loop Madness

thedroneracingengineer post Power Loop Madness from patreon

Patrons,

I just finished uploading this, and I'm happy to give you an early look. I'm really happy with this flying. Kevin Dougherty's recent posts of his flying have inspired me to tackle power loops. I think they're starting to come together.

Behind-the-scenes: Porch Fun

thedroneracingengineer post Behind-the-scenes: Porch Fun from patreon

I hope to keep practicing this until it looks natural, especially the "sit on the swing" landing at the end. This was really fun flying, and a very different feel than the big, fast lines I usually focus on. Always nice to mix things up a bit. The whole time I was flying, I was thinking, "Mega Whoop". You know, like a Tiny Whoop...

What FC should I build next?

This is a good kind of problem to have! I have too many interesting FC's and I can't decide which one to build out next. Help me decide in the comments. Choices are:

Omnibus AIO F3 with Betaflight OSD

Sirin FPV

Furious Kombini  (plus super-secret I have one of the very first OSD+VTX boards, so this build could...

PICT0039

thedroneracingengineer post PICT0039 from patreon



I post highlight videos of me flying at my best, but actually I'm a relatively timid pilot. I'm not able to just take one pack and bomb the hell out of a new site, or a race course, damn the consequences. Typically, when I fly a new site, basically the entire first flight session is me getting a feel for it. Where the...

Quadcopter Choreography Take Two: "It's All The Same"

thedroneracingengineer post Quadcopter Choreography Take Two: "It's All The Same" from patreon

This is take two of my Quadcopter Choreography project, "It's All The Same" by Signal Path. In this project, I fly while listening to a song, and try to develop choreography that fits the music well.

I felt that this take was solid enough to show you, but overall I think the first take is better. The flow of the first take syn...

Special offers for patrons

f you look at any guide to "how to do Patreon", you'll see instructions to make special offers and tiers of membership open to your patrons. That approach doesn't really appeal to me. For one thing, I'm just not a fan of the whole "first class / second class" approach where people who pay more get more access or special privileg...

Livestream raw video

thedroneracingengineer post Livestream raw video from patreon

Hello, patrons! Normally, before I make a livestream public, I trim off the "starting soon" segment and then I add time indexes to let people jump straight to whatever segment interests them. I also add mid-roll ads (not too many, but some). Currently, YouTube is giving me trouble trimming off the "starting soon" segment, and th...

Folks, Asaf has had to pass on the DJT module, as he is out of the U.S. and shipping is prohibitive. Is anybody within the U.S. interested?

FrSky DJT Module

I have a FrSky DJT module from back when I had a Turnigy 9x, but now that I have a Taranis I don't really need it. Does anybody out there have a radio with a JR module, and want to get into the FrSky ecosystem? No charge, just you pay shipping.

60 amp battery testing

thedroneracingengineer post 60 amp battery testing from patreon

I live-streamed the 60 amp battery testing on a whim tonight. The video has been made private because I don't want to spoil the results, and I also want to make sure I have done a full analysis of the data before making any public conclusions. But I figure this is the exact sort of thing that should be the benefit of patronage, ...
