Robs venturi build - uber quick!

rob.thomson · January 23, 2014, 11:22:15 PM

So...

4 hours on and we have this.

I still need to get the video, att convert and UHF done, but that won't take long.

Biggest issue is that my UHF RX is 'in the post'

Oh I was just going to say. "Thank goodness you didnt spend hours on the finish. Its meant to fly not to look at!" Oh well no point in saying that now :blank:

Mind you fluorescent pink and green is my choice, to help see it in the sky and find it in a field if you have to :laugh:

Lol. I will not be covering it until all the bits are wired up and working .

That sadly means waiting for the vtx and RX!

Why not put a 2.4 Ghz rx (e.gD4R-II) in it while you are waiting and go fly :)

That is actually my plan :)

But still need the vtx to arrive. Should have that sometime next week :)

Why not Fly LOS while waiting for the Vtx...

(OK I'll shut up now! ! ) :laugh:

Well.

I have 4 FPV models, and 12 los models... So not really much of a rush :)

Still waiting for the vtx etc.
But did some 'prettiness' today :)

Not doing anything fancy. I feel less desire to make FPV models look good. Guess its because I can't 'see' them when flying!
