Volantex Trainstar Ascent - with Snow Skis - 3D Printed Skis
3D Printed Skis. - Volantex Trainstar Ascent
I had planned to do this 4 days ago when we had 10 inches of snow, but a jacked up TBS crossfire receiver caused me to miss the window that day. The following days were high wind and rain. Today it was 15 degrees, so it was more like ice, but I'd rate this as a success.

Darwin FPV 129 - 14 Mins Flight Time Carrying Akso V50x on a Zee 4s 1500 Battery
Description
Darwin FPV 129 is very similar to the Tyro 129 but better. Comes with a better GOPRO/Action Camera mount, a GPS mount, buzzer, and LED strip. The flight controller looks a identical to the TYRO 129, but comes with bluetooth (a plus). The VTX is 800 on the Darwin compared to 600 on the Tyro. It has the same size motors, kv, and props, but I think I get a little better flight time out of the Darwin compared to the Tyro.
PROS:
►Comes pretty much assembled
►Pretty much solder free (you'll probably have to solder your radio receiver
►VTX with Smart Audio (800Mw)
►Beeper/buzzer
►GPS (works when USB is plugged in (no battery), great way to get GPS signal without running our VTX and sucking down power when it is setting on the bench)
►GPS mount with Buzzer Mount
►150mm VTX antenna
►GOPRO/Action Camera TPU mount
►LED
►Sound - The props that come with it are pretty quiet, especially if you staff below 60% throttle
►Hovers with a GoPro like action camera at about 22% to 24% throttle.
CONS
►Beeper doesn't have a battery backup, so if your main battery gets disconnected you won't be able to trigger the beepr
►Beeper is not very loud
►VTX Smart Audio works but won't move the power level off of 1 when the "Low Power Off on Arm" is triggered
Get approximately 10 to 13 minutes using a 4s 1500 Zee battery from Amazon carrying an Akaso V50x.

AKK Micro HD AIO Camera 37CH 120 FOV 400MW FPV Outdoor Performance
I go this to replace the ZOHD VC400 that died in a crash. This combo is better and less expensive. It does pretty well in different light settings that you might find in your house, it is not low light but you can fly it probably 20 mins before dark. HOWEVER it is terrible in direct sunlight or when you are facing the sunset even if it is not directly facing the sunset.
So how do I use this AIO? I put it in new planes that I'm going to maiden to see how they fly and to get them trimmed before putting more expensive cameras, vtxs, flight controllers, etc. It is very quick way to get FPV on your equipment.
VOLTAGE:
This runs on 12 volts so be careful that you are not getting direct battery voltage for 4S. There is no voltage OSD like there is on the ZOHD VC400.
Recommendation:
Would I use as my go to camera on a drone? Nope, you are going to have a flight controller so you might as well get OSD data. Would I use it on anything I want fly over 1/4 mile? Nope. Would I use it as my main camera on a plane I no more than 1/4 mile away? Nope, not out doors. But I would use it as a temporary camera/vtx setup to get a model ready.

Volantex Ranger 1600 Maiden (and crash of course)

FC: Matek F722 WPX
RX Crossfire Nano
After doing the high 5 check in Angle, Acro, and Manual mode, I thought I was launching in Angle, but was in Acro. I had the default bank angles of 30 so I wasn't prepared for it to roll all the way over.
No real damage just fixing some 3d parts that came unglued.

Slingshot Catch Box and Slingshot Ammo Sorter - DIY
OVERVIEW
Made the catch box and ammo sorter using some 2x4s, dog ear pine fence pieces, 1/4 MDF board, 3/4" PVC pipe and some 1/2 EMT conduit pipe that I had laying around.
REASON
I shot different slingshots with different band and pouch setups which don't lend them to all to shooting the three most common types of sling shot ammo I shot (1/2", 3/8" and 1/4"). I used to go around and pick them up with a heavy duty magnet from Harbor Freight (in the back ground you can see a large piece of canvas, that was my previous back stop and then I had a 4 foot by 4 foot catch tray that the ammo fell into. It caught ammo really well, but it was all mixed together. This caused problems when I was reaching into my ammo containers because I was having to sort them on a one by one basis. I needed something a little more automated.
INSPIRATION
►Catch Box: StanCrafted Video: https://youtu.be/QoY-EtSNJWk
►Marble Sorter : Pocket83 : https://youtu.be/ya9zTstjOIU
Both the StanCrafted and Pocket83 workmanship is far superior to the work I've done here.
SPECS
►48" tall
►14 1/2" deep
►20 1/2" wide
►Shelf is 12" from the bottom
CUTS
►Legs (four) 48" 2x2's
►Sides frame (four) 11 1/2 2x2s (2 for the base and two for the
►Back/Front frame (three) 17 1/2 2x2s (2 for the base and one for the top)
►Shelf (two) 11x9 1/4 wafer board
►Sides: (two) 32 x 14 1/2 MDF board
►Backstop: (six) 5x20 1/2 pine fence
WHAT I WOULD DO DIFFERENT
-Catch Box
►Depth - I would make it 24 inches deep
►Shelf - I would raise the shelf to 18 inches (to allow for a steeper slop for the ammo sorter)
►Floor - I would not use wafer board and instead use MDF
-Ammo Sorter
►Rods - Would use 3/8 steel rod
►Rods - Use shorter rods with steeper slope
►Rods - Run the ammo sorter behind the catch box instead of underneath
