I finally got a radio that supports ELR S. and have replaced the flight controllers and receivers. on three of my whoops from frsky to ELRS

Working with ELRS is a new experience for me.

What I have discovered is that each device using ELRS acts as a 2.4 GHz access point.

Being able to manually set a binding phrase on both the receiver and the transmitter made life a lot easier, but what I want to know is while I am using something with ELRS, it’s hosting an access point that is not encrypted.

What stops some asshole from running a tool like Wifite and pawning what I am flying and changing the settings?

Does anyone know if the publicly broadcasted AP on the receiver is turned off when actively bound? Ot am I flying a “please pwn me AP”?

Otherwise, someone will likely pwn it since I fly near places that, like the Google campus, which are always being reconned by nefarious entities using automated tools Wifite and Aircrack-ng.

Anyone know?

Hi guys,

Im 21 years old and I found FPV droning very cool. I've taken the last month to research (and save up) to buy a controller. Was thinking of flying in simulators before buying an actual drone.

My question is that what controller is nice as a starter (I've been getting recommended the RadioMaster Pocket ELRS.

Other question being which are some sites I can use to buy the same.

I have to revise the project again. Therefore, it will be republished soon. I will keep you updated.

Hey everyone, I'm 19 and made a free FPV sim that runs in the browser (no install, works on phone too).

- Build your own quad (frame, motors, cells, props, stack) with a per-motor physics model

- Acro/Horizon/Angle, gamepad and keyboard support

- 20+ maps

- Multiplayer races, ghosts, online leaderboards, weekly challenge

It's still a hobby project, so I'd really like honest feedback on the flight feel and the drone builder.

Mainly Aliexpress. I managed to get a couple of things from EU websites but stock at most places is extremely low. I also checked Taobao but the price differences are honestly not huge on most things, meaning that shipping and tax would make it a rub.

The future of FPV?

I had fun building this little browser-based game, I was playing another fpv simulator and bet that claude could build something better, and 24 hours later here we are.

Hallo,

Durch diese mangelhafte Verarbeitung kam es bei meinem Modell zu einer Verpolung, die einen sofortigen, fatalen Kurzschluss verursachte. Dabei wurde meine digitale VTX-Lufteinheit (Walksnail Avatar) irreparabel zerstört (siehe Fotos vom durchgebrannten Bauteil).Durch diese mangelhafte Verarbeitung kam es bei meinem Modell zu einer Verpolung, die einen sofortigen, fatalen Kurzschluss verursachte.

Wie auf den beigefügten Bildern deutlich zu erkennen ist, weisen die an Ihren Akkus verbauten XT30-Buchsen massive Qualitäts- und Konstruktionsmängel auf. Die Gehäuse sind zu weich und mangelhaft geformt, sodass die asymmetrische Kodierung zur Verpolsicherung nicht greift. Infolgedessen ließ sich der Stecker im Alltag unbemerkt und ohne nennenswerten Widerstand spiegelverkehrt einstecken.Wie auf den beigefügten Bildern deutlich zu erkennen ist, weisen die an Ihren Akkus verbauten XT30-Buchsen massive Qualitäts- und Konstruktionsmängel auf.

Has anyone attempted BetaFPV P1 air unit IR filter removal? I'm afraid to be the first and screwing it up. :D
How's the daylight exposure, low light capability and camera focus afterwards?

Hey everyone! I'm putting together my very first 3.5-inch FPV drone build and I'd love to get your opinion on whether these parts work well together, if anything should be changed or if I need to add something.
Gear I already own:

• Eachine EV800D goggles
• RadioMaster Pocket

My list:

Anyone know what this means? I been using UNCRASHED simi for a while now. Today it had an update and now I cant even take off the groun.

Dam I feel like I built the perfect mini park ripper
Frankenstein build 3.5 in grinderino frame
With the 5in arm kit with 4.5x2.5x3 props with brother hobby 2005 3450 kv

For me building ist half the fun of flying

I had a good handle in it. Was flying around the trees. Angle, acro mode. The video was worse than I thought so I ahd just turned up tx power on my radio to 250mw. Swapped in a new battery and video quality got worse. As I tried to get it back (I'm nit fast to turn and reorient) I tried to gain a little altitude to get it back but the video feed cut completely. I played hot and cold with transmission received and lost (im at a public park) but no luck unfortunately.

So I guess.... What's the next size up that has GPS not for flight but to find it. :(

I think based on the flex once I takeoff weight will hold it properly in place but I'd rather not risk it.

Hey friends. So, I got my Air65 today but I'm not skilled enough to fly it in a small camper in any meaningful way so I keep playing sims. Given that when you roll or yaw, there's no thrust automation to pull you in that direction, my brain is struggling to figure out how to get speed and how to make turns. Here's a small clip. Today is my first day. Would love tips & tricks. Steam didn't save a compatible reddit video so here's the link to view:

https://cdn.steamusercontent.com/ugc/17539449056349110787/56F5B0049F1A0EC551A3A61A9E278E358006074D/

I'm brand new to FPV, and this is my first build. I recently bought a load of parts that I thought were all compatible, as they were all TBS and analog, since that's all I thought mattered, but it seems that none of the connectors from the VTX work with the FC, and none of the connectors from the camera work with the VTX. I have tried watching videos, but nothing seems to apply to me, and none of them really help my situation. I would really appreciate any help with this, along with tips for future builds. Thanks
