I think I'm going to install the Fumoto valve today before packing up the garage for the next two months.

Still in tear down. Next step is to get it media blasted and start repairing and modifying panels.

Are you going wide body? I wish I had the space for a project like that.

Morning! Heading to the track for another day of fun. Best time yesterday was a 1:17:95 . The track is 1.5 miles long. I had one spin out after avoiding a car that spun in front of me. We both were fine. Hoping to drop a couple of seconds today!

I am widening the body, yes. Those 165/80 15's aren't going to cut it. It's also going to be a full-time roadster. Think this.

If you mean the vent on top of the oil tank, then you have too much oil in the tank. Extract 5-6 oz

Why someone would cheap out on a relatively inexpensive but important suspension mod is beyond me.

I think I need to bleed the system. I filled it to 1/2" below the top of the reservoir

So here I sit, waiting for the miracle called PB Blaster to do its thing...

If you do, not only is it important you do it for every flight, but you have to make sure you arent near alot of metal, specially underground, like rebars in concrete parking lots. Not doing this properly is big reason those things get lost.

And wheres the video duuuude?

I think what you're talking about is the IMU calibration, and as far as I know, and im almost certain, you dont have to do this every time you fly, you would do it if the drone starts acting a little wonky with its movements.. AND after firmware updates (which I did, with this last update)

eastwest2300 03-24-2019 02:27 PM

definitely a lot more confident though, I need to upload my 1st video...

Yup, that's it. I did it everytime I flew and never lost it. Lol. I was also told to do it whenever you're like x number of miles away from where you last calibrated.

Those engines were so easy to work on! 2300cc is gonna be a nice powerplant for it.

Probably around a 94mm bore & 84mm stroke :ugh2:
