Hold on, I think I have a plan to extract and replace the receiver without desoldering motors. Also have a donor receiver on hand.
Build thread Tomoquads Predator X 115mm
- Thread starter theGreenOrange
- Start date
Great success, only had to raise the stack and the receiver squeezed out. Now, do I try again and remove the zip tie and shrink wrap from the receiver on my brushed micro...

I have a video, gotta get a chance to chop it up. I flew one pack, all recorded (hilarious at first). Then I did one punch out with the second pack, and jarred loose an FC power wire. I was planning to redo that anyway, wire arrives tonight. I got a video of the punch out though.

I'm at work but it isn't busy this morning. I brought the sd card with me. I will just do a quick edit here and get it uploaded around lunchtime.
Video is uploading. When it is done in about an hour or so, it will be at this link:
Jerry, you are ignoring my video on purpose!
In my defense:
1. It was windy
2. This thing hovers at 10% throttle
3. It makes me about half as nervous as my 5"
4. That second to last crash was a really dead battery fall out of the sky type crash

Green,
Absolutely not! I've actually been in meetings all day, just got out. I haven't even watched it yet, I'm very excited to do so right now.

Green,
That thing looks like a quick little bugger! I was wondering when you were going to move out into the open. I quit "tree flying" for a while until my skills improve. I was busting up my birds too much. I figure I'll fly in the open for a while until I grasp some of the basic techniques a little better.
Learning, fixing, building and flying are all different skill sets in this hobby, I think that's one of the reasons I like it so much.
Is your video stream breaking up as much as it is in that video? If it is, I'd be looking a a different VTX. I got a few of those new tiny Eachine VTX03 ones for some of my smaller builds, they're getting really good reviews.

Great job and thanks for taking the time to share your video!

No, it is pretty good in my goggles. I only had a directional antenna with me for the DVR goggles so it is half messed up.

Green,
Just for comparison sake, here's what my goggle view looks like on that last flight I posted.

The clear parts of my video is pretty much what I see through my goggles (a little better really). The DVR antenna was pointed toward the golf green. When I flew by the tee box, the antenna was facing directly away and it is directional. Also, I do have more noise than you because of all the Wi-Fi nearby. Every neighbor has like 3 or 5 routers.

Yeah, I got you. I've got no wifi or interference to deal with but my own. And I'm running diversity. I just wanted to give you a comparison for your own analysis. I'm a big fan of sharing videos because the comparisons help me figure out things that may be wrong or different on my birds and the way I fly. I watched Trauma's video the other day and he's getting pretty good at working his throttle and yaws, something that I'm really weak on at this point.
