Oh yeah, I learned the lesson with sand the hard way. Thinking it's probably smarter not to repurpose a quad and just build one specifically for it. See if I can get opflow and cheap lidar on it for precision.
How much does a beer weigh? And can a drone carry it? |

See if I can get opflow and cheap lidar on it for precision. I just fly back.. get close lift my goggles.. fly LOS, and dis-arm and catch it..it’ was my first quad.. wizard 220, got it used.. put it through hell.. still had the original pdb, and one motors.. can’t tell you how many FCs or ESCs I’ve replaced.. it’s also got 3 different motors.. so if I loose it to Davy Jones’ locker.. I’m ok with it..until i gota replace it 11-Dec-2023, 07:02 AM (10-Dec-2023, 10:18 AM)Rob Axel Wrote: Suros.. I have done that.. it’s my “fishing quad” I carry the bait on a line out past the waves and have a second camera on a switch so I can see down.. look for a good spot.. drop, switch camera and fly back.. just DONT land on sand.ive thought of doing the same sort of fishing build before, but the second camera on a switch is awsome!

I need to find time and slowly go through that thread..very informative and DEEEP down the rabbit hole! A lot more thought out than mine for sure..

Now, I will just have to try that weight test. Yeah, we have a set of those dumbbells. |
