No way, that’s awesome! I grew up near Robb Ave & Cole St but moved away in 2004. Haven’t really been back much since then. This was a trip down memory lane for me.
Yeah it was a surprisingly random feeling crash. I always pre-flight check over the thing for any kind of stress marks, cracks, and to make sure the propellers are spotless. I'm not really sure what happened but when she landed it's missing a whole propeller so I'm guessing one failed. I do have DJI Care on it so the bird has been sent back for repair/replacement. For a base model Mavic Mini 3 to go 2025km over 355 flights I'm pretty happy with it.
Sure thing. It’s a Full-Race (branded) kit with a Borg Warner 6258. Walboro 255 fuel pump with Acura RDX injectors tuned on Hondata FlashPro. Fully stock long block & trans so in only ever pushed it to 8psi but it did pretty good.
There is a drone service here in Las Vegas NV that offers building contractors videos of potential areas for development. Not sure what equipment they use but your videos are just as good as theirs. Might be something you could look into in your area.
I am working on attaining my FAA Part 107 exam so I can potentially turn this hobby into some supplemental income. Sounds awesome to get paid to fly drones!
Baby pigeons this young are difficult to feed per hand because they use a rather special mechanism that isn't that easy to imitate. Best thing for orphaned babies would be to find foster parents and/or someone who has expirience with pigeons specifically.
Bit of a sad update; went out this morning and the baby bird as on the ground again. This time however it had already died. We're thinking it's fall yesterday may have broken something and caused it to pass away in the nest or get rejected by the other parent birds. Either way bit of a sad ending 😥
I saw your note that the signal was 'more inconsistent now'. What happens if you loose the signal? Does it have an automatic home sequence where it will come back?
Good question! Yeah before it’ll even let me launch the aircraft it has to link up with at least 13 GPS satellites. As soon as it gets link it knows where “home” is (original launch GPS coordinates) and if I fly out of range on the controller it will perform an automatic return to home. It has saved me many of times with signal interference and range limitations. Whatever DJI put in this new aircraft firmware has really hurt my available range, hopefully that gets resolved in the near future. I can barely fly around the neighborhood without severe signal fade/loss now. No new obstacles in the way, full altitude for direct remote-to-aircraft signal path and it’s still not anywhere near how it was.
Any fish in that pond? If so ,are you allowed to fish? Ooh ooh, hope everyone has their small pets inside or they my be lunch!!! If I had one of these drones and flew it around like you are doing, I would be arrested for being a Peeping Tom!!!! Hope no one gives you any trouble.
Appreciate the kind words! I do see some people fishing occasionally. I also have flown over a few gators in that pond, pretty big ones too! Most people in the neighborhood are aware of it and tend to keep some distance. As for the peeping tom part, yeah I try to keep my distance (fly high) so I don't come across as a creeper as that's not my intention at all. So far so good; no complaints or comments other than some people stopping by saying it's cool. Hopefully it stays that way because I still love this little thing!
@@BrandonLanczak Thanks for the reply. I never get tired of aerial views. I took flying lessons in 1966 and after soloing I had to have back surgery. That ended my flying. I keep thinking that a drone like this is a great alternative. As for the gators, maybe you could catch some and ship them to the southern border...LOL
This video exists as a profoundly nuanced odyssey, wherein individuals navigate the intricate realms of self-discovery, forge profound connections, contribute meaningfully to the fabric of society, and tirelessly seek the elusive resonance of their distinctive purpose within the vast and complex symphony of life's unfolding narrative.
Full-Race (branded) turbo kit with a BorgWarner EFR 6258 0.64. RDX injectors, Walboro 255 pump, tuned on a FlashPro for 93oct. Otherwise stock long block. Sounds cool and it’s a lot quicker than it was; but still far from “Fast”
Yes. And it did get better after a month or two. Turns out I was going too easy on it. Mike at Ringer Racing told me to drive it pretty aggressive; which I think with a torque rating of almost 700ft/lbs it’s a bit difficult to “push” on a stage-1 flashed GTi. After a month or two of driving it decently aggressive, the chattering seem to calm down. It never fully went away, but it did get much better.
As long as your battery stays over 8C you will have no real issues flying in cold weather. A battery at 8C means the other electronics are over 2C and well in operating temps. People miss so many opportunities because they are afraid. Fear is a Liar. Nice flights, thank you.
19,900ft. Check out my video titled “Flying the Drone at El Jardin Beach”. It was a long flight over water to an island. In hindsight I should have time-lapsed a bit in that video but it still turned out pretty cool 😎
Wish I could provide a good update but I ended up trading in the car for a newer model year Rabbit. I started to chase a misfire issue and after plugs, coils, carbon cleaning, PCV, injectors (and seals), and so on I just couldn't shake the issue and got frustrated. I even did compression / leak down testing and the EQT coil grounding kit. It was crazy. Clutch was great for the whole time I had the car though. The chatter really subsides but never fully goes away. Tons of bite though! I'd suggest it to anyone looking for a clutch on the MK7 platform.
@@BrandonLanczak thanks for the input. My RSR clutch is starting to show symptoms of slipping after 40k miles of abuse with IS38 Unitronic Stage 2+. I don’t know if I should replace the clutch again or put the car back to stock and trade it in for a newer DSG model…
@@RSXengineering honestly I’ve been in manual cars for the past 13 years or so and when I traded my GTi I went DSG. The DSG is pretty slick! I still enjoy a manual car but I’m a big DSG fan now too.
