  • Lots of huge SUV’s/trucks and heavy EV’s in LA:

    Think about how many F-350’s or U-Haul’s you see on the road. Not many. Now imagine all the Rivians and Cybertrucks are F-350’s or U-Haul trucks.

    Now think about the handful of Hummer EV’s you see and how it’s nearly as heavy as a commercial truck but, being driven up and down the same roads daily.

    I was assuming you had some crashes with it and maybe some wiring came loose. Totally possible the chip just went bad.

    Good luck learning to solder! It’s a necessity for this hobby. Some tips:

    • use flux paste
    • make sure the iron is really hot
    • better to touch the wire with solder under it and use the transferred heat melt it instead of directly on solder and trying to push the wire in
    • heatshrink tubing comes in handy
    • pointy tip for whoops, flat for 5”+
    • get a smoke stopper so you don’t fry all your boards when learning
    • multimeter comes in handy too

    Don’t worry, it gets a lot better. Less crashes, less repairs, but your wallet never feels the relief because you’ll keep wanting to upgrade to something better or try to fly something different.

    Regarding the VTX, it’s possible some wiring came loose. You’ll have to get good at soldering at some point.

    Good luck and Happy flying!!

    So glad all the time and effort everybody has been putting in to end the genocide in Gaza has finally paid off… and Trump was convicted, so glad he didn’t get a second term… and those Epstein files. Glad all those pedo’s are in jail or dead now.

    Sometimes you just gotta take a break from it all. The average citizen doesn’t have much power in small numbers. If some movement is gonna get big enough to actually effect change, you won’t miss it.
