“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...

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...

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...

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...
