  1. I did something! For my #drone and #uav as well as for my #rc planes/gliders I like to use EdgeTX on my Radio Controllers like the #radiomaster TX15. #edgetx has the possibility to log data during your flights which give useful information later. Use-case like: RC signals, TX power, voltage sag, GPS locations, everything that's send via telemetry link.

    The logs are simple CSV; however you need to do some magic to turn them into graphs. For easy access I've built a web app (PWA actually) that imports a log and renders it using d3.js. The tool is by far not perfect, but it's perfect for my use case - therefore, I'd share it here.

    If you'd like to boost - that's highly appreciated.

  3. ...For about a minute and twenty seconds, before I crashed it into a tree.

    This has been my most successful flight so far.

    Maybe next time I'll land instead of crashing.

  4. RC Airplanes are a wonderful and relaxing (depending on your craft, lol) hobby.
    And it's also quite affordable with ready-to-go starter kits for just over $100.

    But if you want to join an RC club to get access to an actual flying field, you have to shell out $50-$85 per year for the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) membership in the US, and an additional $100 per year for most flying fields.

    I mean, if you're serious about your hobby (any hobby), that might indeed be chump-change to you, but it's really not a trivial amount of money at all.

  5. It’s that time during the build where it’s early enough that you know you haven’t screwed anything up yet, so there’s still to possibility of a perfect build.

  6. For #today I plan on taking advantage of the mild Texas weather and getting one of these beauties up in the air.

  8. My new #readymaderc STRIX Stratosurfer is built (except for the servo linkages). Matek H743-WLITE running #ardupilot, M9N GPS + compass, airspeed sensor. Thinking I'll add a LIDAR rangefinder to the belly to see if automated landing works. But I'll be flying it mostly in fully manual mode because watching it gently glide across the sky under my control is so satisfying and relaxing. #radiocontrol #radiocontrolplane #rcplane

  10. Airworth-ish

    Missing the electronics, some mechanical hardware and some reinforcements, but the body is mostly ready.

  11. Oh heckin' heck, why are RC Tranmitters $300?!?

    It's an MCU, radio, and a cheap LCD, people! What the what!? XD

  13. Was out testing a new drone at my #rcplane field the other evening. It got dark fast, but as I was packing up, I had to stop and appreciate the beauty of a #Colorado sunset

  14. I heard you liek #rcplane? so I put some rc-plane into that rc-plane, so you can fly while you fly!

  15. ...

    I haven't flown an in eight years, and I miss it. I have a little , but that does NOT count. RC Planes are majestic and elegant. Drones are just Space Invaders in the air. ZERO feeling of flight. :P

  16. Have I got it sorted out again after some repairs, a little bit of uptrim and it flew OK #rcplane #rcpilot

  25. My new #readymaderc STRIX Stratosurfer is built (except for the servo linkages). Matek H743-WLITE running #ardupilot, M9N GPS + compass, airspeed sensor. Thinking I'll add a LIDAR rangefinder to the belly to see if automated landing works. But I'll be flying it mostly in fully manual mode because watching it gently glide across the sky under my control is so satisfying and relaxing. #radiocontrol #radiocontrolplane #rcplane
