Thanks man XD

yeahh found an LED mod online and you can get those ring lights that directly connects to an existing port in the controller

we all make mistakes in the heat of pa- printing, I mean XD

Will continue work on it when I get home next week!

Thank you for the kind words fam I appreciate it! Actually really fun putting these together so I'm happy you guys enjoy it.

And thank you for watching and supporting me man! Making these vids is fun but you guys make the extra effort worth it!

Bingo! that is why I mentioned PLA was the unofficial winner cause in reality, it should really be a balance of weight, flex, and stiffness. Though your suggestion is a little hard to quantify, part 2 should be able to shed some light on the necessary minimum stiffness. Really nice insight which I'll take note off. Thanks man!

​@@im_ricebowl I was thinking the same. From my experience, the Meteor 75 (non-pro) frame protects props better than the Mobula7 v4. The Meteor 75 is a biiit more flexible, while the Mobula7 v4 tends to bend during hard crashes and sometimes stays deformed, causing the 40mm props to scrub against the duct edges. We need big coorporate testing like the Samsung Fold's being folded 100000 times 😁Looking forward to part2

@@aulma_fpv interesting. I believe in my class that was called "Plastic Deformation" where there's a certain load where a material will remain springy and return back to its original form. And after a certain point, it doesn't return to its shape. That could be smth I include in part 2. Thanks for the insight! I'll ponder about that XD

I was actually thinking of something like that just recently but still got no solid idea how to do the latching mechanism without adding too much weight. My last idea was similar to those 3d printed buckles but instead of 2 prongs it's 4. Great idea tho! smth to think about for the future XD. actually an idea just sparked XD imma write this down for future reference

@@im_ricebowl it'd be cool for.sure. Maybe some type of crab style pinch on the 25x 25 posts?

@@Shauny_D I get the crab style pinch, that could be a good design choice. Thinking of having slots on the duct for the flexing parts to lock in. That way, it's also at the optimal height regardless of the FC stack size. will get back to you about that actually, maybe smth for V3

@@im_ricebowl yes! That'd be a great feature. I could see myself bringing 3or4 ducts with me for breaks but then also popping them off if I'm outside and wanting that tactless freedom.

@@Shauny_Dthat would actually be really convinient too for repairs. No need to transfer a whole drone to a diff frame if the CF fra.e. the age of whoops with removable ducts is close. I can feel it 🤣 Really cool concept tho I'll defenitely be tinkering around that idea for the next weeks. I'll let make some updates when I make progress on it 😉

My friend was forcing me to use Canva for the thumbnail cause I kept showing him samples but they were in MS paint XD

I do what I love XD thanks for the sub and for the kind words fam!

and thank you for watching man! I appreciate it!

I've mentioned "we" a few times in this video and this is the exact thing the other person is literally working on rn 👀 they're working on having multiple materials to see how it handles. I'll let you guys know how that goes once we get compelling information for it! Thanks for watching fam and for the kind words!

thanks for the kind words man I appreciate it! Gonna be working on it when I get back home! lots of slow mo stuff XD

actually someone also mentioned it and I may give it a try one of these days when I get to. I suggested that it would be cool to thicken the ducts a bit to see if it can hold up crashes too. Thanks for watching fam!

Yall are so fast XD. Thank you so much fam! Looking forward to watching your recent vids too!! Great work aswell and as always my guy 🤜🤛

Great to see you here! Any plans of getting a Hachidorii v2? 😃

@@JUST_SID_ So fast man XD Thanks for the support and for watching man!

@@im_ricebowl You should try TPU 97A, it's pretty stiff yet flexible, and even LW PLA, though it is quite weak.

@@JUST_SID_ Gonna take note of that 97A for future testing. LWPLA may be interesting cause we can thicken the duct a little more. I will be trying soft PLA soon too!

@@im_ricebowl Yeah, include them in pt 2 or something.

Thanks man! Im glad I can be part of your top 3! I'm also a huge fan of it - so much so I brought it with me in my trip and even got my relatives to fly it XD. Gonna get mine soon too! hope she flies well cause I wanna use it for my Hachidorii lineup XD

@@im_ricebowl Would be really interested in your opinion on the Air75 as compared to the Meteor 75 Pro. One is 10g heavier while the other has much much bigger motors!

@@chesterlim15 Ikr! very different drones but I'm really hoping the air75 performs well or atleast finds it's own place in the whoop category. The 75 pro was super smooth for me and I think the air75 will be a middle ground. we'll see when I try it out!

@@im_ricebowl Too many drones to buy. Highly addictive and expensive hobby 😂

@@chesterlim15 Ikr XD I started this year with a whoop and a 3in. Now, it's a whole flock of drones 🤣. Ideally, I only have 3 drones (whoop, outdoor open prop, and LR) and just have loads of spares for those 3 XD

there should be another comment here with the same question XD

@@greedfox7842 imma agree with that XD tho their lava batteries have been getting praise so atleast we have options from the same brand! I like these small drones just cause it's so easy to travel with them and sneak in a few flights in some spots XD.

@@galardo3303 bruh what is happening with the mob 6 XD I've heard similar cases as well related to power. For sure happymodel needs to do smth to address this cause the Air65 is doing a lot better

@@im_ricebowl its a rolling dumpsterfire. Im now in contact with Gao from HDZ and this dude is so helpful with that issue. One email and HM is responding. They now told me to flash to beta 4.5 and try again. Im scared for my Tattus 😂. I already bloated 3 of my 5 (new!!) Tattu 300s. It sounds a lot like the fault lies in the SuperX HD at the moment.... HM and light boards apparently dont mix well. Think about the elrs diamond board. That thing was a dumpsterfire too acording to the forums.

if you've modified anything software related, I suggest going to HM's website and using the diff file that they provide. if you haven't done anything in betaflight, best to leave it as it is for now. Check if you have low power mode enabled and check if you're on the right band/channel

bruhh the 2 BNFs didn't even have a chance! Tacos all the way!! 🌮🌮🌮

Thanks for stopping by and watching fam! I'm not entirely sure if they will reach but they're the same wheelbase. If they have a little slack on the air75, they should fit just right - actually, the mobula 7 elrs worked as a direct transfer.

I don't really like the 2024 for the reasons I've mentioned in my video but I also haven't tried the air 65 so I can't really give you a real answer XD I will say that many people so far like the air65

Sadly nahh I don't really have any action cams except the thumb if that is considered one XD

footage is really the least of your issues XD it's the rebooting that make me hesitate

damn my guy making my day XD thanks for the compliment man! Still got lots to practice but we're getting there hehe. Thanks for watching fam!

@@FoxLassl I see no problem!

hey man! thanks for the feedback! I'll defenitely take note on that and I agree - I did have 1 duct break on me there. Thanks for the insight fam! I'll make changes when I got some time!

Thanks man! greetings from the Philippines! tho rn I'm actually in the US too XD

Thank you man! ngl it's not of those drones I genuinely don't wanna modify and just wanna maintain cause I like the way it is rn (gonna change to 48khz tho). Glad to see people liking my vids! thanks for tuning in my guy!

Thankss man!! I appreciate your kind words! Yeah around 2-3 mins of flight for me when charging the 380s to 4.2v (not HV). you should be able to reach 3 mins if you fly slightly after 3.5v which is normal for whoops as voltage will go back up. for example, I land when I hit 3.3v cause when the motors disarm, it goes up to 3.5v within a few seconds I refer to this as the nick burns method XD

Amazing work man, thank you for taking the time to reply and I appreciate your informative and detailed explanation about this. So you usually land at around 3.3v min. Thanks again for the information, it really helps me, hope to reach somewhere close to your level someday. Doing God's work 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

@@Sprote1 hey hey! it's actually very simple and I can give you some instructions but I believe if you search IGOW gates (official dimensions used for contests), you'll see a bunch of pilots videos on it. Nonetheless, here's what I did: - 1/2 inch PVC pipes cut into 42cm long segments - bought several types of fittings. Best to sketch out a diagram of what you want yours to be and plan out what type of PVC fittings you want since they come different angles and number of connectable segments. There's Ls, Ts, and a bunch of other ones too. - I personally wouldn't glue them together but they should have some friction to them when you out it together - I also have a 5ft long PVC at the top that's just ziptied to the main tower to try out powerloops, mattys, and split-s'

@@ItsMeKevinFPV thanks man! Rest in peace to nujabes 🙌 one of the greatest

@@CCC0122 yupp it's a type of foam tape that holds components well

@im_ricebowl , excellent, ty. Btw, does that protect the vtx from a fc board? Meaning they should never touch, without something like this 3m tape between them? Ty

@@CCC0122 yupp! Just make sure you cover the whole side of the Vtx that will lay face down on the fc

gotcha fam! that's all the flight time I need. Thanks for the tip and for stopping by!

@@3DMOFO2020 Thanks man! I'm looking forward to it too tbh and I got some high expectations for it!

I'm happy to say that I will officially review the air75!

@@im_ricebowl 😁😁

@@Daltino_1 Thanks for the tip man! totally forgot about that and will try it out! Thanks for watching!

@@im_ricebowl I used JB's video / kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4rcqXycqZ6qga8si=VwmmeUdQAjhLx3hK&t=226

thanks man! actually looking back XD kinda happy with the progress I've made so far! also, yeah 😂 still am tbh - finishing up my term rn and I can't believe I managed to squeeze that betafpv video while juggling my acads XD

Damnn fam your comment just made my day XD I appreciate your kind words and it really does motivate me to keep things up and do do better too. Thank you too man for stopping by and I hope you have a great day cause you made mine one!

@@im_ricebowl You're welcome mate you totally deserve it. I hope you keep it going, I'm very keen to keep watching.

​@@im_ricebowlI'm wondering if you use any special rates for inside v outside? I'm still kinda a novice but I find it super difficult to fly my 75pro around my house and under my chairs, but you make it look SO smooth and easy. I feel like it's too touchy and powerful for me. I'm thinking some rates changed might help but I'm wondering if you have any advice in this area?

​@@nolanb134that's actually my secret XD for all my drones, regardless if it's for inside, outside, cine whoop, whoop, open prop....they all have the same rates! because if you can master that set of rates, you'll learn to use the same rates for any type of drone. Ive had the same rates for a few years now XD The only thing I would consider changing is throttle mid and throttle expo. If you're having trouble with throttle management for the 75 pro, I suggest setting the throttle mid to around 39 and experiment with how much expo you need. Thank you man! I'll keep on producing vids for you guys cause I really do enjoy it too!

@@Trippydozer yknow what XD that's the Nth time someone's asked about it so maybe I'll make a vid on it someday XD thing is tho, it's just an old pair of box goggles that I flattened

@@im_ricebowl dudeee hell yeah that’s what I wanted to hear!🤙🏽 I’ve got my old vro3 goggles I want to turn into a screen for the workstation cuz I always gotta prop them on something or put them on which is annoying. Sadly I don’t have a 3D printer but I could probably order something. Thanks ahead of time for the video tho & love the content!

@@Trippydozer Maybe I'll provide some downloadable files when the time comes and I'll probs ask around or look for measurements. we'll see! gotta add that to my videos to make XD Ikr! that is exactly why I wanted to make a second monitor. Thanks man! I appreciate you stopping by too!
