    I mentioned my buddy is a detailer. He honestly does it because he loves it. He did a small series on how to detail a car. He uses a foam cannon on some vehicles. I will share his series here for you.

    Oh yeah, I had to buy a charger. The stock charger is a joke. It took 3 hours and 45 minutes to charge a battery yesterday. My local hobby shop had several entry level chargers. I bought the best they had in stock, a Venom Pro 3. It's really not bad. I can balance charge, and even see the individual cells as it runs. I get all pertinent info on the screen. It's not bad, really. I fully charged a dead battery in ~ an hour. Charging at 1C that is almost perfect, and for LiPo that is where I want it to be. I paid $84 out the door for it. Tax and all. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/13122833556559734462?q=venom+pro+charger+3&biw=1366&bih=627&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.&bvm=bv.99804247,d.eXY&tch=1&ech=1&psi=BeDPVZXiM8abNtyhqogO.1439686664228.3&prds=paur:ClkAsKraXyHqkjIP9NmOkCP1xXpkZnH0xsTSaEaGKRKZ3HwY6wZgAMSEEL2vleUIWWV2Z4NK8CCYxGIZSTM11zR6w6Yzs9oiSvPE0AWuMk-mLEx2qwg-ATB-YBIZAFPVH71BkesKpQ3bCt19vuw2t3lrwi2wCw&ved=0CAQQpitqFQoTCLn_veayrMcCFY23gAodzAgHJg&ei=EuDPVbmuE43vggTMkZywAg

    Was flying my drone today and a fucking prop snapped in mid air, one blade coming completely off. My son was flying it (he's better than I am) and battling the wind in a headlong high speed run and we head a pop, like a starter pistol. The fucking thing took a dive to the right front corner flipping end over end and slamming the ground hard. It was ~ 60 feet in the air and carried ~ 50 feet forward before coming to a stop. I've heard of that happening with replacement Gemfan props, but this was a brand new prop from Walkera. Damage assessment isn't bad. I figured it was fucked as hard as it hit the ground. It tore a screw out of the front camera and broke a whip antenna. No big deal. I ordered both (screw set and 2 sets of foldable whips for under $15) but temporarily removed the front camera and strapped the one exposed antenna down with a twist tie. But we had fun. We reset the gyros and flew for 10 more minutes. I can honestly say, though, that my son is much better than I am. Walkera is coming out with a fully loaded 250 Runner. Preorder is in September. I'm going to grab one and give mine to my son, as he really enjoyed it. The new model has 2500kV motors instead of 2100. It has a new, more advanced flight controller. They now added a fully functional GPS that provides for flight stability, return to home, and mapped flight features. They added a front bumper (to prevent damaging the camera), new LED light bars, and a fully fitted backpack for travel and storage. I love the red accents, too.

    Have any hot chick peeps to upload to youtube yet Not using the camera yet. I am trying to avoid any distractions while learning to fly it.

    Drone flight tonight. I went through 2 batteries doing simple hovers, acceleration, basic slightly banked turns, and various movements. I had 1 flip of death and bent a prop, but straightening it worked fine. I crashed it a few times but nothing serious. Low altitude prop wash is an issue I will have to get used to.

    So cool! Was something wrong with it? Nope. He drives automatics. He can drive a stick, but he wanted someone to take him for a ride who can really drive a stick. I took my service writer for a drive in my buddy's Elise last fall, and he had Matt bring it down so I could stretch it's legs for him and give him a thrill. I had him shitting his pants. That fucking thing sticks to the ground like it's no one's business. It is really sticky and super twitchy. He just got done getting it registered, so after I drove him around in it, I inspected it for him.

    I always thought imagination was smaller than that?The correct answer was flashlight. Mike was projecting, methinks.

    Oh sorry... Oops, how'd that get in there? Fuckin' sweet, though, eh? Yep, 3 cell 2200mah LiPo. I have seen 12.5 minutes for mellow flight to 5 minutes for abusing and trick flying. I have more batteries and props on the way. They'll be here tomorrow. I'm going to fly it tomorrow night. What'd you get for a charger? Server power supplies ftmfw I am using the stock balancer for now. I am loving the Graupner Polaron EX. I might just grab the Hyperion EOS 0606I, or the 0720I. Either way I will be using Mean Well external supplies. I use the Mean Wells for my hybrid battery rebuilds. They are super robust.

    I don't see how you can see it that far away. It really is pretty small. The body is 9 inches long. You have got to have insane FPV equipment to make that flight realistic.

    1 KM with the Devo 7 radio and stock antenna. I have read up to 2 with the Devo 12 radio and clover antenna.

    It will sustain flight easily with a go-pro, and it does have a camera mount with dampers on top. Most people prefer a Mobius to a go pro, as it keeps a lower center of gravity.

    FWIW, I crashed it pretty hard on cement today. I got scratches on the mushroom and a chip out of a prop, but no other issues. I did set all my failsafes tonight, prop on to prevent flip of death, and motor off when out of range to prevent loss of unit.

    It's a damn monster. It has so much more power then I expected. I crashed it several times in the shop. I will need a lot more room and a lot more practice. I would never have been able to fathom how much power this little thing has. i fired it up on the break room table and turned it up to 25% and it blew paper bags off the table like they were feathers. The LEDs are insane. You can see damage on the mushroom from where I crashed it. It took off so fast, and my reaction was to lay the throttle back to 0%. Not a good idea. . FPV camera head on Ass The radio is pretty fuckin solid. Lots of control, and memory enough to program 20 vehicles.
