Is OK... he has goats. No need mower.

Better check the oil bet its milky lol

Yea but you know all those quads are warm and dry😁

Was it a running mower? Maybe had it for parts. I'm the same way unless the stuff is for parts. But in that case...get the parts u need and get the rest gone lol

It’s fine he conformal coated the mower

Just about any frame will do that if you mount the pool noodles high enough. There may even be a case for strapping them to the battery on regular frames.

In unobsrtucted water maybe, but anything it can contact and you're likely done.

​@@TheBadRaven Do you mean something similar to that one moment JB dunked the drone into the pool close to the edge so it took a second try to take off again? Yeah, if you hit a piece of debris floating on the water, it will be a little harder to take off. But Turtle mode should work just fine in water and the same thing can happen on land if you hit a tree or a bush and get stuck in it. Actually, thinking about it, this setup with the battery on the bottom may be worse when you hit something in the water and it's sharp enough to damage the battery. With a normal frame with the battery on top, you would be fairly safe.

Thanks for the spicy comment.

@@MysteryD LOL dat spicy scoville comment 😎

Why not a squirt of WD40 in motors ?

@@ezapata3200 wouldn't hurt

@@ezapata3200 All that will accomplish is a lot of WD40 on everything. Plus it is more of a penetrant, not a lubricant. You can use it for something like a door hinge but on things that need real lubricants it is a very bad idea. Even if some made it to the bearings it could simply ruin the good lubricant.

Im not sure if they have one that allows data transmission l, I have only seen chargers.

@M M not tried one myself, but seen other guys using them for tight cinewhoop builds.

Think RDQ sells one that has an extra strong magnet, does data, and might just be the ticket. Also comes with extra USB C tips in case you knock one out.

@@muchthump beauty. Good info, thanks 👍🏻

Those don’t do data I think

Not sure why you ever thought an underwater quad in salt water was ever a good idea 🤨

I think they mentioned the motors having stainless steel bearings

You could just use conformal coating and corrosionx to fly in the wet

poorly my first support case wasnt as cool as the stuff from them... tried to flash BLHeLi, done anything correct, took the right set of bin files (100% sure) ... one of 4 ESCs, gone... tried to reflash Bluejay (yes, it was a batch with Bluejay shipped, my second one was BLHeLi out of box), 1 of 4 ESC still gone... tried flashing, and flashing... nothing... after a while i finally did a wrong flash and took the wrong file. Reflashed the right one, 3 of 4 ESC gone... okey, fair, my fault... but the support also was just like "oh yeah, you bricked. (POINT)..."... i now wait for an arduino like board, to reflash it and unbrick... but i found out about this way, after i ordered a new one... btw. the new one also bricked, but after a mini crash on the grass... no answer from support for a while... just e refound of about 50% of the price... and thats after the first flight... okey, fair. ists a cheap drone, so full refund or 50% refund isnt a big difference... but could be better... Runcam, or speedybee support was completly different level! wrote with them, they looked interested in my problem, tried to analyse it with me... in the end after very good 5-6 mails with them, really friendly and good mails, they offered me to send me 2 new ESCs! because i had to wait, they gave me a lifetime speedybee app code FOR FREE!... poorly i forgot to write them after 3 weeks for the new batch to be sendt...BUT!! AFTER almost a WHOLE YEAR! i wrote them again... no hesistations, no mimi, nothing... my 2 new ESCs are on the way... questionless... THATS a freaking awesome support! ... but nevermind, back to DarwinFPV: I love the stuff, i love the babyape, i got me a third, and i will still buy the baby ape. in my opinion, the absolutly BEST cheap drone for around 100 bucks! great feeling, best with a HV LiPo btw. ... yeah, just felt to write this many lines hahaha

Are we talkin about that aluminum box stack from Axis?? I had never seen anybody mention it being waterproof..🤔

@@willpowerfpv3246 yup, not waterproof but weatherproof

@@stefanozanna1988 oh sweet, thanks for the reply! 😁✌️

That's ultimately up to the Liftoff devs. I kind of like it the way it is though to be honest.

We wanna fly over you in your bed while you sleep.🤣

@Joshua Bardwell Well I'll sent them a strongly worded letter then, when I find my stamps their going to hear about it

I get that reference!

I wouldn't mind the field getting an update.

Wouldn't grease add some friction? These tiny things are quite sensitive to how easily they can spin.

@@Qwarzz grease is used with bearings to lubricate and lessen friction, the heat and water would remove that causing rapid bearing wear and corrosion, a grease port would allow it to be replaced. All new bearings should arrive with a quantity of grease inside them anyway. The wrong type or too higher pressure of grease could increase friction though

When you buy it, since it's a aio it comes with bf 4.3 / elrs 2.5 but there's a bf 4.4/ elrs 3.5 update available as a release candidate

It automatically rights itself based on the location of the floats.

The price is part of that. They have solutions for motors for this that wont die when submersed the first time. One college in Oakland has a program with a drone that can swim as well as fly without any physical human input. Has its own ballast that draws in water to right itself as it dives, then expels that water to turn itself back 90 degrees and make itself "upright" for flying again, right out of the water. The "Loon copter". Rutgers University has one too, though not as elegant.

@@crisnmaryfam7344 I don't know if I like their new version now they took the camera out and they put it in a box like a GoPro it looks weird 🤣, I'm just tired of companies selling us garbage the first time and then be like oh we'll get it the next time around and then they just keep selling us a different model and over and over again can we just build something nice the first time around

So that it flips itself right-side up if it crashes upside down in the water.

fully ceramic bearings are very expensive, most ceramic bearings just replace the balls with ceramic balls but the majority of the bearing is still metal.

@@definingslawek4731 i understand = but the only way to go "water proof" with motors is ceramic bearings

WD40 would displace moisture, but I would be concerned it might also get into the grease and dissolve the grease in the bearings. Not sure about that.

wd40 is generally harmful and should not be used

@@JoshuaBardwell Maybe a teflon based?

@@JoshuaBardwell would inox work or a product you would suggest?

And a T bag sack made out of used dryer sheets around the motors?

You'll be saturating these smaller motors on flips and stuff with the heavy weight.... Even in 20mph wind you'll be able to tell the difference.... Could always throw a biblade on it I suppose, but they won't have quick response on 5" prop(compared to 2306/2207)

@@badfourlife Yea with those big floats inducing so much extra drag it definitively is a weird choice to go so small on the motors. Probably designed for cine/slow cruise

Yeah but I get 12 minutes flight time on a 1550mha.

I have no idea. At first, it looked like it was moving slightly when I armed, but when I walked over to it, it was completely unresponsive even though receiver telemetry was still working. After power cycle it was fine :-/

@@JoshuaBardwell very weird 😐 I wonder if it was the RX or betaflight… the active TLM suggests the RX was working fine 🤷🏻‍♂️ Gotta love the random crap like this 😒

No ELRS won't bind to crossfire. But the ELRS control modules are pretty cheap

use a hair dryer way faster

@@fearlessflyersfpv420 already back in the air. No damage. I’m still a beginner, it was the Cetus x kit. Pretty surprised I must say.

rainx works great, though will need airspeed to move drops off.

Matt Pochwat has a video where he does just that

Just practice.

I agree. But the receiver was still working. Suggests the FC locked up.

Because the Hulk has an SPI receiver which is running ELRS 2.x, and I didn't want to flash my Boxer back to 2.x.

@@JoshuaBardwell there's a bf 4.4 release candidate that updates it to express lrs 3.5 Darwinf4sx1280hd I'm running it now

Correct, but I didn't want to swap the factory firmware for BF 4.4 in case it caused some issue that did not reflect the product as shipped by Darwin. I mostly try to review things in factory-delivered state.

it will lose signal after just a couple inches underwater. Antennas have to be above water lever.
