Hi JB, great part 8 video. Thanks for the detained content, it really helps us old guys.
2018-03-05 15:51:51 +0000 UTCThanks for the info, I fly in the mountains not really super long distances and I'm trying to eliminate a lot of my video signal breakup.
2018-03-01 16:14:48 +0000 UTCIt's a fine receiver but you'll need high gain antennas to take advantage of course. I'm not convinced it's much better than a module except in as much as it doesn't move when you tilt your head.

2018-03-01 15:52:12 +0000 UTCI'm thinking of purchasing an IRC DUO5800 v4 Diversity receiver for longer range flying. Is it worth the money or should I look at another product.
2018-03-01 15:20:28 +0000 UTCThe nano receiver comes with the Immortal T so that's what I'm using.

2018-02-28 05:53:36 +0000 UTCIn my testing, which was admittedly imperfect, I didn't see any difference in range between the shorter antennas and the longer ones. But others swear the "short" antennas are MUCH worse than the longer ones. I dunno.

2018-02-28 05:53:25 +0000 UTCMy memory isnt what it was, what was the verdict on the the frsky r-xsr stock antennas that were shorter than others... replace with longer or good to go for good range?
2018-02-26 19:30:30 +0000 UTCHow are you going to orientate your TBS Crossfire antenna, L shape or T shape?
2018-02-26 19:00:39 +0000 UTCWhat grip tape do you use on your Taranis? I saw you turning it around showing the back when you were talking about crossfire
2018-02-26 18:57:00 +0000 UTCAny recommendations on keeping a clean workbench ie what so you to store all your spare parts?
2018-02-26 18:35:15 +0000 UTCwhy is my thottle having some kind of delay ,when i punch it it responds instantly but then when i lower the throttle the quad still accelerates for a moment.before i flashed the newest bf it was ok
2018-02-26 18:33:26 +0000 UTCAny recommendations for box goggles that you can ware with glasses + diversity + 720p?
2018-02-26 18:32:29 +0000 UTCHey JB how do i remove a bad bearing from my emax 2205 motor? I tried everything...Quad Swap?
2018-02-26 18:31:19 +0000 UTChey joshua love the channel i was wondering is telemetry required for a lua script
2018-02-26 18:30:26 +0000 UTCHey JB! I asked it via superchat already, sorry to bother. You think that we're ok to go HV low kv yet? Did you do the tests that you were asked on that two setups that fly the same despite being different in kv and number of cells?
2018-02-26 18:29:42 +0000 UTCAny recommendations for circlip pliers? first ones I got didn't end up fitting into the bottom of a few motors I tried them with
2018-02-26 18:28:52 +0000 UTCHave you heard anything about the update for the LeForge v4 and the Fatshark HD3?
2018-02-26 18:26:58 +0000 UTCHi Joshua, planning a 7" freestyle\long range quad, thinking about adding a GPS with return to home if I failsafe. Any thoughts?
2018-02-26 18:26:25 +0000 UTCHave you notices a change that will not allow you to arm your quad when it is connected to BetaFlight with a battery connected?
2018-02-26 18:18:27 +0000 UTCWhat value do I recommend for the best in OSD between "Main Batt Voltage" and "Avg Cell Voltage"? Thank You
2018-02-26 18:07:31 +0000 UTCI've been getting a lot of failsafes lately on my XSR & XM+ receivers, even at pretty close range (50-75 yards). Do you have any suggestions for antenna placement or testing I can do to make sure I'm getting the correct signal range?
2018-02-26 15:27:08 +0000 UTCCould you go into the, hopefully temporary, split that has happened with ButterFlight? As I understand it, they are working on FKF because it gives better real-world results than FIR. However, some devs argue real-world results are subjective, the math says FKF and FIR produce the same output, with FIR being more efficient which is why FKF was dropped from BetaFlight in favor for FIR. <a href="http://butterflight.co/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://butterflight.co/</a>

2018-02-26 14:11:00 +0000 UTCI asked a question last time, but you probably missed it. I had a question about capacitors on flight controllers. I'm not going to be a MultiGP racer anytime soon, but am still learning. Will a capacitor help me with my builds (I have about 6 right now), or should I not worry about it until I get better?
2018-02-26 02:53:45 +0000 UTCIf you haven't covered this before, please discuss the benefits of following proper ESD procedures when working with flight electronics, such as static protection during soldering, installation, and subsequent handling when make adjustments. Thanks.
2018-02-25 21:46:10 +0000 UTCIf the accelerometer goes bad, you won't be able to use things like crash recovery in Betaflight, horizon mode. Anything that relies on that acceleromter. You will however still be able to fly completely fine in acro mode.

2018-02-25 21:15:06 +0000 UTCWhat are your thoughts on ewized's radio smoothing script for OpenTX? Supposedly it emulates some smoothing behaviors found in Raceflight. <a href="https://github.com/ewized/radio-smoothing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/ewized/radio-smoothing</a>
