2s 75mm Walksnail Freestyle Build BEGINS – Q&A

What’s the benefit in using those leads over xt30?

Mobula8 frame is quite fragile in my experience. The standoffs where the canopy screws into break off or where the whoop ducts meet the motor beams snap at the joint. I cannot get the petrel over here unfortunately.

Good day Ciotti and all you GG how is everyone doing?

00:01:45 On this stream…..

00:03:37 What’s the thought on 75-85mm DJI 03 builds. I only have dji. What’s would u suggest?

00:06:47 Do the RC drifters ever get annoyed with you getting in their way or hitting their cars?

00:10:48 Heat gun, exacto knife to pry? How to remove the heatsink from the Walksnail 1s.

00:18:01 Just snipped the Walksnail cam and vtx out of my vision40 / operation analog conversion / it'll be heading your way in a box soon enough.

00:19:00 Teddy taking over the stream.

00:20:28 Once you break the seal on that printer and start using it I guarantee you'll go down the rabbit hole

00:20:41 First mob 6 24 problem. Emax transporter goggles. installed sd card and goggles went black on first flight. Still have osd. I think camera is gone. coincidence or can sd card cause a short of some sort

00:22:20 You asked last stream if any of us build during the stream. I wind motors during the stream. I flew my first set of my RS0802 30kkv on my mob7 this week

00:22:44 If I wiggle the camera wires I get some sort of terrible vision. try resoldering? which I've never done but time to learn

00:23:08 Have a Q about my mobula7 have it bound (ELRS) but the sticks and switches doesn't connect, can't arm etc.. what else do I need to check on?

00:24:25 Guess it's my turn this week, broke a U.FL on my vtx few days ago and today my quad dropped out of the sky and the ESC seems to be no more. Best 20×20 ESC? Ever individuals on 3in?

00:30:06 Do you know anything about UWL spec builds? I've been trying to figure out a solid whoop build for UWL, it looks like 75mm is the way to go. I have both Walksnail and HDZero

00:31:51 Another Q one of my mobula6 arms up with the motors running but it’s not lifting up. I checked the rotations of the props n everything is fine. what can I check next?

00:33:41 How much does that heat shield weigh again?

00:39:30 Behavior started after a month off flying.

00:39:46 My rewind 30kkv RS0802's are very close to the IGOW 27kkv, maybe just a bit higher power, I've only flown a couple batteries. Going to wind more since I have 5 sets of the RS0802

00:46:17 I was flying my Mob8 in my basement (large) and just broke my FC frame posts again after T-7000 fixing the last break. Should I buy Mob8 frames or is there a cockroach ‘ish frame to get?

00:47:14 My one and only issue with the SB 20×20 is that it's BLS and not 32, even with the latest shitstorm Chris Rosser showed it had significant advantages. Do you think it doesn’t matter?

00:49:22 Can I see those motors? What’s in the mini Ziplock baggie ? spare bt2.0 connectors?

00:52:44 What is your favorite go to esc for whoops that are easy to order and reliable. Thanks

00:58:19 So do you recommend throttle limiting then on the 802s so we keep the motors more safe?

00:59:24 New 3002 motor best freestyle motor ever.

01:00:56 Does Teddy have any food allergies? I brew beer, and use spent grains for dog treats… (bananas and peanut butter) got a package (non-used parts) going to send it your way. should I send treats?

01:05:30 My freestyle in the sim is 10x better than my freestyle irl, same rates, angle, everything. I even have propwash to max in my sim! any suggestions? Or just any tips on better freestyle? I just want to get better so bad and I don’t know how to push myself. hopefully TinyWhoops will help me do that.

01:08:43 Used the ORT antenna on my Mob7 crashed on the top and the antenna tore the Ufl connector off the X12 FC. Is it possible to steal one off an old FC and solder it back to the X12?

01:09:25 More Teddy

01:12:328 There still seems to be a few 2023 2G4 V3.1 ELRS AIO available

01:12:51 What would 1002 21000kv motors need to be limited down to for 2s?

01:15:07 What tips can you share for chasing BMX bike race this weekend, I'll be using my Pico w Caddx cam. Also have a 3.5" Skylite w Caddx cam. Will probably mount my insta360 on the Skylite.

01:22:32 I’m 15, but unfortunately am not as financially well-endowed as some of these other guys. I built my quad, not from scratch, but with upgrades over time, and it’s so very special to me

01:25:21 Sims were almost nonexistent when I learned to fly Heli’s Real flight I think was just released

01:25:39 My motor broke when I flew hard. I was just in that FLowstate, basically acting like I was in the sim. 9/10 yk? I nearly cried, fixable problem but one that I won’t be able to for a good bit.

01:27:05 Being so good at flying that you go where you want to go is way harder than just not running into shit. Practice, practice, practice.

01:28:42 Pre e = check for white stress lines in frame after each flight and add some e6000 as nec at spots as they develop (till Jello city)

01:28:58 starting to work on the 2s 75mm Walksnail Freestyle Build.

01:51:40 Any tips for reducing yaw wash on mob 8 w/O3 (heavy)? 110g auw with 550mah 2s, 1103 11k Kv, GemFan 2023 props

01:52:00 Instead of cutting off the whole front of the canopy, I cut off just a small bit of it and still let it screw in

01:52:14 Is there a reason you're putting the FC on bottom and VTX on top? Can the VTX go on bottom and FC go on top with motor leads going up?

01:52:53 I have the plug upwards, and half the time I just leave the USB cable plugged in while I fly

01:53:02 Keep the smallest part of the dongle plugged in and just tuck it out of the way when you don't need it.

01:53:12 Could get a right angle version of that connector and do some soldering.

02:06:21 Soldering the battery leads.

02:13:49 Where to put the capacitor?

02:14:49 Is the capacitor in the box for this build? Could you use the capacitor leads to lengthen your power leads just a few mm? I tend to shrink wrap one or both of the exposed leads.

02:16:17 Soldering the motor plugs on the board.

02:27:35 What brand of solder do you use? It doesn't look like it "wets" easily.

Stay safe everyone and have fun flying.
