TBS Trappy - FPV Spill the Tea #4 Livestream 

Agree

ELRS is not super hard of course. But its harder than crossfire now... Which is not a problem for experienced guys at all. But it could for beginners i guess.

For ELRS: The 2.0 to 3.0 transition was rocky. And the partition size issue was rocky. And the WiFi compiled vs configured was rocky. And the compile toolchain was sometimes rocky. And developers shipping beta code was rocky. But now it's relatively solid and intuitive, but there's now lots of out of date, more difficult than necessary guides and videos.

Swapped out all my crossfire for elrs and 2 out of 4 of my quads didn’t work. You’d think it would be a straight simple swap but nope. One problem was easy enough to solve, but the other was an absolute nightmare, if I had been starting out and had that issue I probably would have given up.

good point. I tried to make every time, but i guess need to do it better lol

Always in stock at my store, I rarely run out since TBS's move

That's a lot to ask from TBS I feel like lol

Yes Sir, noted

See you there man :)

loooooooooool

I said others focus on performance regardless of the tradeoff, not TBS. I had to get permission to access hardware engineering resources within the company, as it wasn't my team. I am now responsible for all of TBS, but I wasn't before (e.g. production speed, development, etc). And I have said multiple times that I am just the front man - and now sole owner. I am not qualified to do most of the engineering, but I decide the direction that TBS is now taking (before it was a democratic process).

@cagmuer -You obviously have no idea how a large multi national company works..............

daayam what you spend that money for exactly?

Yeah what are you buying that frequently?

The sheer ambiguity of your claims earns you no sympathy.

It can definitely get up there at times!!! Most my friends don’t spend that much, especially the less fortunate, mostly because I provide free repairs, gear, and builds to my community. We change out FETs regularly, it keeps ESCs reliable, and running cooler. Also when using a good BEC most other electronics don’t fail (unless mechanically broken). Batteries are honestly the most expensive and the most common stuff that get irreparably busted… but I do disassemble packs, match cells, and keep them going, so that’s mitigated some. When I grind and learn new stuff and fly a lot I can easily go through $200 every few weeks just in batteries. But flying like a normal person my expenses are usually very low. The trips CAN get into the hundreds… I had one rough trip… before I started repairing stuff and building as well as I do now (to mitigate mechanical damage). I went through 5 ESCs, a couple of flight controllers, a couple of VTXs, and 7 batteries and various other frame parts, motors and odds and ends… I didn’t total it up exactly but it was likely $700 or something for less than 20 hours of flying that long weekend… that’s when I realized I gotta fix stuff 😜 It’s just too wasteful otherwise. Rarely do I have electronics that are not repairable nowadays, it’s now mostly, in order, battery cells, frame parts and motors. I do preventative maintenance and inspections, flush my motor bearings every flight day with fresh grease, change bearing, shafts, magnets, and rewind motors when necessary. I don’t do anything for the mangled and cracked bells and bases though… if I can’t fix it in a reasonable amount of time I don’t bother, motors are cheap. Not worth bending or welding or machining or any of that… even though I technically have the skills. Gotta draw the line somewhere 😜

That means, u cant figure out acro, Change your hobby..😅

He's definitely wrong. DJI makes 2 FPV drones. That alone has exposed a massive new population to FPV.

Well yeah, with that picture and name it's kinda understandable

@@audiogek I disagree, blocking someone doing to others what one wouldn't want done to themselves.
