Built a tiny whoop and was just trying it out

Whoop it up, Fish ! Live how you fly it over the air hockey table. Wish we had basements in Texas. Miss the Midwest in that regard.

I gotta get one. Where to buy ?

Super Bowl Sunday and this was far more fun

Don Sims

You're having too much fun with that thing.

Fishbonez

Thanks Don,
You also have a micro quad how is it flying for you? You might like these little gems they are a lot of fun

Don Sims

I'm enjoying it but not doing well with the FPV. The headset didn't work for me because of my glasses and now I'm using a screen that attaches to the transmitter. We'll see how that works out.

Down in your basement, it looks like squares are a lot harder to fly through than hexagons.

I'm still having problems getting a video system to work.
I bought a Tx & Rx from a friend after he demonstrated it worked, after I got home I couldn't get it to work.

I think someone is telling me not to try this for a while.

I have the Convergence VTOL plane it is working good. I want to have a 200 to 600mw video in it, maybe a switchable power Tx. It should be fun flying FPV with that. I screwed up before Christmas, Hobbyking had the FPV goggles similar to yours, complete with Rx for $25.00 on sale for just a few hours. I didn't know I was getting the Convergence for Christmas from my wonderful wife.

Fishbonez

Yes Glasses are a problem, That is why I went with the headplays however Quanum from Hobbyking sells a pretty good kit version as well

or

These all due pretty good with glasses as long as the frames of the glasses are not to large

What is it not doing? Obviously not giving you video but is it because the Tx is not properly powered? Possibly wrong channel?
Edit: Oh yes flying through the hoops takes a lot of practice but once you get used to it, it becomes pretty easy

That would be cool to see either FPV or LOS

dahawk

Well, whoopdee doo ! lol

Glad to hear you're having fun. My wife would disown me if I flew one around the house. Maybe not such a bad thing though. LOL

Fishbonez

As small and as light that they are she would not even know you were doing it then youll be saying WHOOOPIE!!! and then go make some WHOOPPIE

Wildflyer

I got PO'd at the video system quite awhile back, I will get it out and try again.

The TX and Rx have readouts for band and channel, At Jim's house they both worked, 2 days later the on the Tx wouldn't work. Power was right, but didn't have the time to see if the problem was just the just the readout or did the entire board go dead.

I am going to buy a new set of equipment when I pull in some more side jobs.

I want to have the Convergence working when we come to Cheyenne this year.

My daughter and son-in-law may be moving to Billings MT. She is a RN now and there are more good jobs up there, and Bo has family there.

Wyoming Outdoors printed out a 3D Tie Fighter for the Tiny Whoop. I call it the Tiny "Tie Fighter" Whoop, original aye So last Wed. I had to get it together and maiden it. It was a lot of fun



Here is Wyoming Outdoors video of the same night.



If you dont have a tiny whoop you are missing out on a blast

Fishbonez

What to do on Christmas Eve when its colder then a witches...

Fishbonez

Just enjoying the last few days of my vacation before returning back to work

Don Sims

Sure looks like a challenging but fun course!

Panther

Never could get the hang of FPV with Quads. My 500mW seems to run out of range at about 100 meters. I'm sure it used to be better than that once.
Lately I had it mounted on my quad and flew it autonomously. I just went along for the ride

Fishbonez

I need to do something about the ones hanging from the ceiling. They always move when I bump them. I suppose the answer is to stop bumping into them

Fishbonez

That is odd 500mW should be good "till your blue in the face" distance. Are you sure it is not burned up? For example have you at any time fired up the quad w/out an antenna?

Panther

No, not at all. I just tried some different antennas (fat Sharks) and it is just the same. It hasn't had a lot of use but I am using the Quanam Cyclops goggle now and I suspect it has a p'' poor RX in it. More tests to carry out yet.

Fishbonez

Id be curious to know what you find out. I use 250mW on my long range planes and have gone more than a mile.

Fishbonez

Snowing like crazy outside so its time to fly inside. I bring you my ghetto track. Im still not as fast as most but just as fun

Panther

That looks like too much fun. I think you should stop before I get upset.

Fishbonez

It is far too much fun. Im an FPV Addict. Panther we have got to get you in the air. Have you had any success? Trying to think of a way I can help you out. Whooping is a blast I just recently got an Alien Whoop Zero and its a rocket. Cant wait to get it outside and fly some real close by stuff.

formontoya

You're right fish...these things are great when the weather gets away from you. Like the Tie Fighter add on...3D print pretty cool stuff. I just fly mine around the house...need to see if I can find something bigger. Lots of fun for something so small.
