It’s quiet here

(Happy leap day) I know it has been really quiet here for a while but that only means I have been really busy lately. I have built many things I have not posted about and I have been planning even more things. Some projects take too ong to finish while others never seem to get going. All of them will...

Contrastick, the plan.

Contrastick, a bicopter with contra rotating motors is a successor for my flying stick design. This post is just about my plan to build one. The cad model and pictures, thoughts and ideas. The motor I’m using with this build, two 2212 1400KV motors stacked together equipped with 9″ propellers. Motor came with a bracket I’m not going to use....

“A Flying Stick”

A flying stick, or a coaxial bi-copter, is what I decided to build once I saw the video by RCTESTFLIGHT. Even though he clearly didn’t put too much effort into the design the concept was cool and the idea was quite simple even if it might look complicated. I knew I could do much better job in creating one of...

PC HDD bay upgrade

Got some more storage for my PC recently. These are the parts that I got from ebay and banggood.com. 4-port SATA expansion card and bays to house 3x 3.5″ drives and one 2.5″ SSD. Disgustingly dusty PC. Cleaned all that too. Just installing these was kind of straight forward operation and not too exciting at all. The important decision, red...

RC-paramotor build

This month I built an RC-paramotor designed by Tom Stanton. To me this was something completely unknown and new. I just saw Stantons instagram post and knew that’s something I want to build, at least partly just because I hadn’t built anything like it before. Here’s Stantons original thingiverse post. First thing was of course to find someone with big...

Head tracker drifting problem, attempted solution.

As I stated in my last post, I thought the problem causing my headtracker to drift was the IPD rods getting magnetized, I changed them, but that didn’t do anything. Even though this didn’t solve my initial problem I thought I’d share this process of opening fatshark goggles. I was warned that it might not be easy and you must...

Fixing drifting head tracker, the problem

Last month I got myself one of these head trackers that fit inside your Fatshark Dominator goggles. Trinity Head Tracker Module – FSV2413 to be exact. I bought it used from a fellow hobbyist so I got for good price with all the cables needed to use it with my Futaba radio or ImmersionRC ezUHF external transmitter that I use...

LEDs on FPV goggles, Ver 2.

In June 2018 I made a first version of these LEDs on FPV goggles. They were cool! They had 12 different animations to run on them and they definitely got some attention everywhere where I was flying. But now it is 2019 and time for something new! During the last race of 2018, me and a flying buddy of mine...

Hexapod, pt.0

I have built one of these now, a hexapod, six legged robot that is supposed to walk smoothly and look cool. Mine does that, almost. I have been seeing these here and there and I think I found some good designs from thingiverse too so I thought that it can’t bee too hard to get one going. I decided to...

Mini Talon, pt. 1

New pan mount for camera Even tho I have not gotten to fly it much, I have done a few upgrades on my mini talon. Mainly to the nose section and FPV gear, as I was not happy to how I did them in the first place and I came up with one great idea recently that got even little...
