So I was looking, like I do, and talking to a friend about you. I noticed something else interesting here: tell me about your "stump & putty" system. I feel like you would judge me for not having that, after considering it for a relatively short time.
Is it just a round piece of wood, and some kind of low tack sticky stuff? Do you have 2 or 3 of them for wire extensions, and other sprawling systems that need soldering?

Hi. Its a lead sample i found , from the local galina mine , the mine closed 60 years ago, but some of the brighter locals were using the tailings for driveways and playgrounds and house foundations up untill the early 80s, I kid you not ,Made a big mess . the government spent millions cleaning it up just last year.
Yes it is wall or poster putty on the top and i use it exactly as you say.

That's cool. I need something like that in my life.
Speaking of unhealthy affections for lead: I LOVE the smell of the soldering smoke when I'm building/repairing. It's so hard for me to keep myself from breathing it. Everyone I talk to about it tells me I should NOT be breathing it.

What frame is this? Is this a Yukon Gold? Or that Idahoan Red brand?

Idahoan red

You should perhaps upgrade to TaterFlight 4.2 - so long as you don't make a hash of the upgrade, it will give you very crisp results, will chip off your lap times, and mash the competition - but be warned it can fry your board, so be careful not to jack-et up. (Ok, that last one was a stretch... But let's face it, you started it!)

To get it frying right should i use crincle or strate cut settings in the par boil tab,
Tater flight makes it a bit starchy and the fork feel isnt quite right

Build a 5" Long Range Drone - Transformer Ultralight

Jun 21, 2021

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
