Don't stop one. What's up? [12.84] Jack: No, no, no [14.64] Jack: Welcome. The earth is flat and we are also joined by the swarm [20.6] Jack: What's up? [22.68] Jack: a [25.12] Jack: What shape do you think the earth is a [28.0] Jack: Squat sphere [35.0] Jack: Tony as you may or may not know you're in good company tonight because stinger swarm has got ADHD [40.88] Jack: I sometimes wonder about you or whether you're just an asshole [44.88] Kevin Dougherty: Dang, how'd you know that about me? [47.76] Jack: Because I talked to a lot of your friends who find you absolutely amazing and [54.2] Jack: Entertaining I also know you're a real-life pilot of IRL pilot [60.08] Kevin Dougherty: That's true [61.72] Kevin Dougherty: How'd you get away with that? [65.08] Kevin Dougherty: Well, I did that first actually I started out flying full-scale planes [70.68] Kevin Dougherty: actually me and my dad did some RC when I was very young and [74.64] Kevin Dougherty: He took me out and got me lessons and gliders when I was like seven or eight years old [79.0] Kevin Dougherty: then pursued it in college and got all my ratings and got a degree in aviation and [84.56] Kevin Dougherty: Went to the airlines [87.6] Jack: How many hours stick have you got oh [90.72] Kevin Dougherty: My god, I don't even know I I'm bad. I haven't logged any time in like two years [98.16] Kevin Dougherty: I got to update my logbook, but I've probably got somewhere around 9,000 hours [103.92] Tony: That's a good stick Tom. What do you prefer? Do you do you prefer flying? [109.52] Tony: quads or real planes [112.08] Jack: Many quads hands down near man way more fun even though you get paid for the real thing [118.92] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah, well, I mean, okay [121.48] Kevin Dougherty: Well, if you're looking at it like that, then I can't do the mini quads without flying full-scale. What are you drinking? [127.24] Jack: I [128.84] Jack: Just coffee. Oh my god. I can hear stunk in the back as well [135.96] Jack: I think he's the one who who grassed you up for your ADHD [140.72] Kevin Dougherty: Yes [141.72] Kevin Dougherty: I'm here at the field with the mr. Steele skits. Oh, hello ski [147.92] Kevin Dougherty: They say [156.32] Tony: We're gonna have to [163.48] Jack: Tell him he's banned from coming on the show not that we liked him anyway [168.24] Kevin Dougherty: They just banned you from their show [174.68] Jack: Is that steely there as well bent over man, he's probably peeing up something [180.68] Jack: Yeah [182.64] Jack: Dog, isn't it marking his territory? It's hilarious [186.36] Jack: And I just I want to say thank you as well. I'm the guy who you know when you're in Chernobyl the [193.08] Jack: And you were doing that the you uploaded your building [197.72] Jack: You know when you're on top of that building and you were doing you freestyle [200.76] Jack: I was the guy who asked for your DVR footage because I couldn't believe [205.96] Jack: Signal through the building and you were like just this once I wouldn't normally do this [211.6] Jack: And I was like, thank you and I just wanted to thank you in person [216.2] Kevin Dougherty: Well, you're welcome. I I don't mind posting DVR footage here and there but like for a full edit where you got like clips and [223.32] Kevin Dougherty: Clips, it's multiple flights. It's kind of a pain [225.72] Kevin Dougherty: but that was an easy scenario because all I had to do was go find the flight where I [230.68] Jack: That particular flight and then just post the file. Yeah, what what a diversity module you're using [239.04] Kevin Dougherty: now this is a [240.84] Kevin Dougherty: LaForge and [242.32] Kevin Dougherty: then I got the obviously the immersion 5 DBI patch and [246.64] Kevin Dougherty: And then on the other side the blue beam mad mushroom [252.04] Tony: You guys were running 600 though, aren't you? [256.44] Kevin Dougherty: No, I actually I run 200 on most my quads and I just put the I'm running 350 on the immersion [264.68] Kevin Dougherty: What do they call it the tramp? I just started I just put that on one quad [268.92] Kevin Dougherty: I don't know. I'm kind of testing to see how I like it [271.96] Tony: Yeah, we got we got some tramps it in the UK now. Look people are just picking up and and starting [277.98] Jack: I've heard from [280.74] Jack: I'd write yeah [283.74] Jack: Have you got have you got the promotional code yet? [287.06] Tony: I don't know if they are actually available for my drone yet [290.58] Tony: But if anyone wants to buy anything on a Thursday night on ldo if you put in the code ldo 10 [297.5] Tony: You would get 10% off [299.82] Tony: If the first 10 people will get 10% off and then it goes down to 5% and that's just first days for our lucky listeners [308.74] Jack: Sorry about that [313.58] Jack: Yeah, we got to talk about the UK drone show but you're welcome to come along if you want later [321.66] Kevin Dougherty: What is the wait, isn't this the [326.22] Jack: Joint shows like a event that happens in December whether it's a UAV [331.02] Jack: You know show you can buy stuff and wearing racing around and that and then you know [336.26] Jack: We'll have that little little [339.9] Jack: Bunny running round. Yeah, I think you've been subjected to them, isn't you? [345.38] Kevin Dougherty: Benny yeah [348.5] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah, yeah [352.5] Jack: Yeah, he's always a he's always a trip yeah ruining you go for a footage and now I'm wiggling around in his face [360.46] Kevin Dougherty: Yes, but basically taking your selfie stick and stabbing you in the eye with it [367.1] Jack: It sounds like him. Yeah [370.78] Jack: We do apologize. We don't usually export that kind of thing. But I think I think Trump's gonna finish that anyway [378.7] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah, how do you go in man is half the America on fire? [390.26] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah [391.26] Kevin Dougherty: Make it a point not to post on social media about that because nobody cares what I think about politics [396.3] Jack: I just fly and play with toys. Yeah, man. It's a good way to be really. That's why isn't it? Yeah. Yeah [404.22] Jack: Only your quads on fire [406.3] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah [407.98] Jack: Everyone's gonna ask and like moan and nag and stuff. What are you flying right now? What is your setup? [414.54] Kevin Dougherty: I'll tell you what. Let's just grab it please Dennis [417.94] Jack: Oh, shut your phone to it fly around give them something to lie. I'm not gonna do that one. All right, so [426.26] Kevin Dougherty: I've got wait, how can I change the camera on this? Yeah, you'll have a little [431.78] Jack: Hang on. Okay, who's on it found it. All right. So [436.42] Kevin Dougherty: Here we go. I got uh venom packs [440.26] Kevin Dougherty: As a battery i'm using [442.1] Kevin Dougherty: TBS triumph antenna. This one is using [448.02] Kevin Dougherty: I forget what it's that [450.5] Kevin Dougherty: vtx that's like the fox ear slash [454.98] Kevin Dougherty: Lumineer slash whatever that you have to press the button to make it start that always annoys me because I always forget to [460.98] Kevin Dougherty: uh, I got a [463.46] Kevin Dougherty: seriously dodo flight controller [465.94] Kevin Dougherty: whoop [467.62] Kevin Dougherty: hero five session [469.94] Kevin Dougherty: uh run cam swift [472.1] Kevin Dougherty: for the board cam [473.86] Kevin Dougherty: And this quad actually is still running kiss 30 amp escs [478.5] Jack: Wow, old school [480.26] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah, but it still works and it still flies great. So I mean will I change it? [485.46] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah, exactly. Oh, yeah [488.42] Kevin Dougherty: The x hover uh 2204 2300 kv motors [492.98] Jack: With some schizo props by the color of them. Yes [497.06] Jack: No, please tell me you stole them from him [500.1] Kevin Dougherty: Actually to to be honest these are [503.7] Kevin Dougherty: Embarrassingly out of uh hq props at the moment. So these are actually gym fan props that I had left laying around the house [514.9] Kevin Dougherty: I already did [518.66] Kevin Dougherty: What did he say that's exactly the point nothing [522.82] Tony: I [524.82] Tony: Stinger [526.02] Tony: What up? Tell us tell us how you got your name because people want to know [530.58] Tony: People in the uk. Why is he causing this one? [533.78] Kevin Dougherty: so, uh [535.62] Kevin Dougherty: All right, i'll tell the whole story [537.94] Kevin Dougherty: The basic gist of the story was when I was in college. Sorry. I'm like staring at the quad that's flying around the field [543.54] Tony: Yeah, man [544.74] Tony: This is really cool because it's like alive you're out flying with schizo. It's all good for us [549.54] Kevin Dougherty: So, uh when I was in college me and my friends, you know, we did the typical college thing [555.54] Kevin Dougherty: We went out to the bars and hung out and uh to avoid, you know, the whole drinking and driving thing [560.66] Kevin Dougherty: Which is a bad idea. Don't do that anyone [563.46] Kevin Dougherty: We would ride bicycles to the bar, but we would go to the uh dive bars and kind of the redneck bars [569.46] Kevin Dougherty: this was in tennessee and um [572.26] Kevin Dougherty: And so as a joke we started a bicycle gang and uh, we would make we had a logo and we'd spray paint stencils [579.46] Kevin Dougherty: On t-shirts with the uh logo for the bike gang and there was the stingers [584.18] Kevin Dougherty: and um and [586.42] Kevin Dougherty: Stinger swarm was what we called it when we would pull up to the bar [590.58] Kevin Dougherty: We'd show up [591.38] Kevin Dougherty: We kind of like hit the back brake and skid out and like all yell and be obnoxious and that was the stingers swarm [598.58] Kevin Dougherty: After college I ended up adopting that as my like online [602.58] Kevin Dougherty: Email address and social media name and everything and uh, just kind of hung on to it [608.02] Kevin Dougherty: Kind of as an homage to uh, all my friends from college [611.86] Kevin Dougherty: And so when I started applying mini quads, I wanted to uh pick out a name. It was cool [617.14] Kevin Dougherty: um [618.02] Kevin Dougherty: And I was just lazy and never got around to it. And so I just kept [622.1] Kevin Dougherty: Stinger swarm which had been my online persona for years [625.7] Jack: It works and we love it. I think you're a bit more like a little bit more mellow nowadays [631.06] Jack: Like, you know, I wouldn't I can't really see you as some sort of like bicycle hooligan anymore like [638.34] Jack: That's a secret [643.46] Jack: We there you get those little names, isn't it? [645.78] Jack: Yeah, you know we just have to put up with tony. So there you go. Someone [650.1] Jack: We're already going into the [653.06] Jack: chat, but earlier on someone asked you about your [657.3] Jack: Please can you ask evan about his nano sky hunter loll fat kid joey? [664.02] Kevin Dougherty: Yes, uh, that is uh, joe estes and [667.3] Kevin Dougherty: Over at readymade he did send me a uh, it's a little plane. Uh, that's [673.38] Kevin Dougherty: It's a fixed wing plane [675.06] Kevin Dougherty: Three channel, I believe it's just got aileron and elevator and the throttle and uh, it runs the same [681.84] Kevin Dougherty: vtx camera module as uh, the tiny whoop [685.3] Kevin Dougherty: And uh, it's just a really fun little plane that you can fly around in some fields and fly fpv and stuff [690.9] Jack: Well, so it's like a little absolute nano not I wouldn't call it [697.06] Kevin Dougherty: The whole plane is not as small and you're not going to fly it indoors. Let's put it that way you need a [703.54] Kevin Dougherty: A somewhat decent sized field to fly it but it is a lot of fun to fly for sure [708.58] Kevin Dougherty: although on 25 milliwatt if you [711.78] Kevin Dougherty: my experience, uh [714.5] Kevin Dougherty: I was flying it and I managed to get it behind the tree tops and um [719.22] Kevin Dougherty: Did not get turned back towards the field and the video just got worse and worse [723.3] Kevin Dougherty: And uh, it was gone. We did. We did find it. It was like a couple blocks away, but [728.66] Tony: That's how we have to cope in the uk. That's what we [732.58] Kevin Dougherty: Are all 25, huh? [735.3] Tony: Yeah [736.98] Tony: is um [738.58] Tony: I mean I we we spend money on our ground stations put it that way [743.62] Kevin Dougherty: Wow, okay [745.94] Tony: Some of us aren't abiding by the wall. Wow [748.74] Tony: Wow, you can hear him that well at race days at race days. We have to [753.3] Kevin Dougherty: Okay at race days. They have to I just didn't expect the little headphone mic to pick you up that well [758.74] Jack: Yeah, we can hear him. Yeah clagging us off [762.5] Jack: Little animal. How did you get how did you discover and get into the hobby? [768.18] Kevin Dougherty: Uh, let's see. So [770.34] Kevin Dougherty: the hobby [771.78] Kevin Dougherty: I originally a friend of mine, uh that I work with [775.86] Kevin Dougherty: He was getting interested in rc and was watching a bunch of the flight test videos and um [782.66] Kevin Dougherty: Hadn't he didn't build anything but his fiance wanted to get him a birthday present that had uh [789.22] Kevin Dougherty: You know, it was rc related and didn't know what to buy him [792.42] Kevin Dougherty: So she was like, hey kevin [793.38] Kevin Dougherty: Will you watch these videos and figure out what's cool and tell me what to buy him for his birthday? [798.1] Kevin Dougherty: So I started watching the flight test videos and I got addicted and we started out flying things together [804.42] Kevin Dougherty: um and got into like building foamy's and just flying at the park and uh [809.14] Kevin Dougherty: You know watching flight tests. They do a lot of fpv and i'm like, what is this whole fpv thing? [813.3] Kevin Dougherty: so I got like the little um, it was the attitude b2 so they had like a [818.18] Kevin Dougherty: camera and uh [820.26] Kevin Dougherty: Video transmitter module that came as a kit so I got that and started putting that on some foamy's and then built some wings [826.74] Kevin Dougherty: And then from watching fpv videos, I saw the argonay races in france and I was like, oh I gotta do that [832.9] Kevin Dougherty: so after that, uh [835.46] Kevin Dougherty: I got hooked and was watching charcoo's videos [838.34] Tony: And uh, we've all got hooked the same way [841.62] Tony: Yeah [842.58] Tony: Exactly the same way that little swedish drug pressure [846.74] Jack: Yeah [849.3] Tony: It's that damn flight test argonay. Yeah, everything you've just said i've done [856.34] Tony: Exactly [858.66] Jack: So old because I remember like having [861.94] Jack: That argonay video pop up in my subscription [866.58] Jack: Do you know what I mean? I I just [868.9] Jack: I remember seeing the first like blackout [872.1] Jack: like in [873.78] Jack: 2000 [874.66] Jack: like 14 [876.34] Jack: At the hobby king event. It's so weird. Do you know what I mean? It's like what the hell? [881.3] Jack: late september 2014 like someone's got like a blackout mini quad and we're just like what [887.3] Jack: the hell [889.54] Jack: Yeah, I think a lot of people that are getting into this falling and tumbling out the sky [893.78] Kevin Dougherty: I think I know people that are getting into the hobby now don't realize how new all of this is [899.22] Kevin Dougherty: Um, it just hasn't been around that long [902.82] Tony: And it moves so bloody quick. It does [906.26] Kevin Dougherty: obnoxiously fast [908.82] Kevin Dougherty: Unless you're a stodgy, uh guy like me and continue to fly your old escs and [915.54] Tony: Oh [916.58] Tony: If it don't break don't fix it, you know what I mean if it yeah, just fly it [921.78] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah, I don't want any spares. I just lose four of them in hawaii. I put a quad in the uh in the ocean when we were in hawaii [928.66] Tony: Yeah [930.82] Tony: That's never good. Did you get it? [933.46] Kevin Dougherty: No, did not get it back [936.02] Kevin Dougherty: Never good. That's that's fine. I've been doing this long enough. I've I've gone on many trips, right? [942.34] Kevin Dougherty: Figured I would lose a quad and that's the first time i've actually lost it. So I figured i'm ahead at this point [947.54] Jack: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that reminds me of um, [952.1] Jack: Alex's, I think uh, like, um signature on the forehand if it isn't broken [959.7] Jack: Uh, if it's broken fix it if it's not broken i'll soon fix that [964.66] Jack: Yeah [967.62] Tony: I do like sorry tom. What are you saying? I was just gonna say uh stinger seems like the kind of guy who takes [974.98] Tony: Just a bit more risk than the other guys that you always seem to [978.58] Tony: Whenever I watch the videos you always seem to just push that bit more [984.1] Tony: Yeah, well, I mean that's you [986.82] Kevin Dougherty: That was kind of by design when I saw the very first, uh mini quad nick willard just showed up [993.3] Kevin Dougherty: uh [994.18] Kevin Dougherty: When i've done my very first mini quad video that I was turned on by the idea of [999.86] Kevin Dougherty: getting to fly a plane and doing [1002.82] Kevin Dougherty: Stupid and getting to do stupid things. Um and take risks where the only uh cost in the end is uh [1010.98] Kevin Dougherty: money out of pocket and uh time spent repairing so [1015.54] Kevin Dougherty: I kind of looked at it from the beginning. I told myself I was never going to put my gear ahead of [1021.14] Kevin Dougherty: What I wanted to do with it. And so if there's an idea that I have in my head i'll sit here [1026.9] Kevin Dougherty: And basically break all of my things trying to do it until I decide either it's doable or not doable [1033.62] Jack: I can't get over that like you're in that abandoned warehouse and there was that [1038.9] Jack: That big massive tube and you've got through this tiny gap. That's all i'm talking about [1043.62] Tony: That's what i'm talking about [1045.62] Jack: Yeah, I was watching that video and I was like, I can't even see the gap in the video [1050.1] Jack: I didn't even know there was a gap there [1054.42] Jack: and the next thing you're like [1056.8] Jack: Raging through it and i'm just like [1059.94] Jack: I'm just like who is this guy stinger swab like, you know, i'm just like [1064.5] Jack: Get these [1066.5] Tony: He's the balls in guy. He just done it and that and that's what I like language tony [1072.34] Tony: Sorry, take take the risks and go for it. And then when it when it works, it's just a hundred percent. Well good [1079.14] Tony: You're swearing tony [1081.7] Kevin Dougherty: the ones that kill me are the ones that are really hard and [1085.3] Kevin Dougherty: You know, it was a difficult thing to pull off and then it just never translates into good footage [1089.54] Kevin Dougherty: And so you don't see those [1091.3] Kevin Dougherty: I got a handful of uh things that i've pulled off that were really cool [1094.82] Kevin Dougherty: And I was super excited about and then watch the footage and i'm like, oh you can't even tell what I did [1099.94] Jack: Yeah, that's the way [1101.62] Jack: When when roto right first like appeared on the scene, they're like bigging up. Oh my god [1106.58] Jack: You know, like he was the only one brave enough to fly the dam and i'm like, oh my god [1111.86] Jack: Who like have you seen what stinger's up to? [1115.14] Jack: You know like he's not even on the show. You know what I mean? He's just like [1120.42] Jack: kicking around in the background like [1124.1] Jack: Playing with himself. I suppose really you can't show that to kids but you know [1132.18] Tony: Now the forefront of [1135.06] Tony: Stuff like we're seeing your name come up quite a lot now [1138.98] Tony: Which is all good [1141.3] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah, i'm glad to hear that [1143.86] Kevin Dougherty: I just keep coming out uh flying doing what I think is uh, what puts a smile on my face and [1149.38] Kevin Dougherty: Hopefully other people like it, too [1152.34] Tony: You definitely are [1154.1] Tony: And and we loving the risks we're loving that [1157.62] Tony: He's gonna do it and we know he's gonna do it and then you go and do the risk [1161.54] Tony: the risk [1163.78] Jack: Oh, yeah, uh, can you talk a little bit? I know you probably like [1167.94] Jack: spoke about it loads, but [1170.5] Jack: Um, what's your opinion and like your experience in chenobyl because we never really we don't get any vlogs from you [1177.14] Jack: We just want to know [1180.02] Kevin Dougherty: Man, you know how many vlogs I have recorded and never edited [1183.7] Jack: Yeah [1186.26] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah, I don't know vlogging is my thing i've tried I just haven't gotten anything out there [1191.14] Kevin Dougherty: but um, so [1193.54] Kevin Dougherty: Opinions about chernobyl. Uh, it was a really awesome experience. Um [1199.86] Kevin Dougherty: I I think the [1201.38] Kevin Dougherty: the biggest takeaway from that was uh, just the um, [1205.78] Kevin Dougherty: I don't know. It's like how your perspective changes through the experience because when I first heard that uh, [1211.46] Kevin Dougherty: Roto riot was going to chernobyl. I immediately was like, okay steal chat. You got to get me on this trip [1215.94] Kevin Dougherty: I want to go. Absolutely [1217.7] Kevin Dougherty: I didn't even know you could go to chernobyl [1219.62] Kevin Dougherty: But now that I know that you can I have to go and then you start thinking about it like okay [1224.42] Kevin Dougherty: I'm actually going to chernobyl [1226.9] Kevin Dougherty: Uh, maybe I should look up and find out some stuff. I think steel actually got me [1231.7] Kevin Dougherty: Going with that. He was watching all these documentaries and doing research on radiation and uh [1237.38] Kevin Dougherty: Getting a good knowledge base of what we were [1240.1] Kevin Dougherty: Really going into and so you start doing that and then you actually get there [1244.26] Kevin Dougherty: And uh the first time the geiger counter like registers anything above normal ambient you're like, oh my god [1250.82] Kevin Dougherty: And uh you freak out and then you start realizing like what's normal for normal like here and uh [1258.02] Kevin Dougherty: What normal that I experience every day when I go to work and fly on an airliner? [1262.74] Kevin Dougherty: and uh [1263.78] Kevin Dougherty: And then what is safe for short periods of time for like while you're walking through a building versus [1270.34] Kevin Dougherty: or something that you're going to walk by and be exposed to for just a [1273.78] Kevin Dougherty: A very short period of time versus where do we want to set up and fly? It's like, okay this area [1279.22] Kevin Dougherty: Over here is I don't want to stay in there for two hours, but this area over here is okay [1284.02] Kevin Dougherty: And so it's like I don't know. It's it's I can't I don't do a really good job of putting it into words and uh [1290.9] Kevin Dougherty: The realization that you get of the invisible dangers that are still there [1295.22] Kevin Dougherty: um in terms of radiation and also just the massive scale of the whole city that's just [1301.3] Tony: Abandoned and not usable anymore. I think that's the people can't get is the scale how big it is. Yeah [1308.58] Tony: Yeah, I think it it did come across in you guys videos and roto riot videos. It did it did come across [1316.18] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah, that roto riot video from uh from turnoble was just amazing. Um, they [1321.78] Kevin Dougherty: Uh, there's so many more perspectives than just um the flight footage perspective [1327.54] Kevin Dougherty: Um that we normally get with miniquas. It was really cool really uh something interesting and uh [1334.42] Tony: Amazing to be a part of for sure.

I would love to bring out gear [1730.92] Kevin Dougherty: But I don't want to bring out stuff that uh, I don't really believe in so you tell me what we need and uh [1736.44] Kevin Dougherty: And i'm gonna see what I can do about that [1738.92] Jack: Well, do they have on I I think you should do like a uh, maybe some airline blankets or something, you know [1747.4] Jack: The stingy blankie, yeah stingy blanket with the signature haircut and moustache [1755.32] Jack: You know like your little [1757.64] Jack: Um or a usb c connector converter, maybe [1762.04] Jack: Yeah, by the sound of it. Are you rocking a new apple laptop? [1765.48] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah, i've uh, it's not the new macbook pro i've got that teeny tiny 12 inch macbook [1771.32] Kevin Dougherty: um, yep [1772.44] Kevin Dougherty: Uh, which I love it. It's it's powerful enough to run final cut and uh [1777.48] Kevin Dougherty: All the other stuff and it's small enough that I can use it [1781.08] Jack: That it's it's super small and super light too. Well, technically it's not powerful enough to run the final cut [1787.32] Jack: Private just does all the rendering in the background [1790.36] Jack: As you're working on it [1792.44] Kevin Dougherty: This is true, but it is not powerful enough to run premiere [1796.52] Kevin Dougherty: But it will run final cut pro and fills just as fluid as uh when i'm working on my 27 inch iMac [1802.84] Jack: Yeah, sorry. I just wanted to be like don't lie to us stingy. I'm watching you [1807.8] Kevin Dougherty: I mean, what's the difference whether it's rendering in the background and [1811.8] Kevin Dougherty: Experience or it's rendering real time and you have a fluid experience. Yeah, it just it works [1816.76] Jack: Does it complete the job i'm trying to do? [1820.04] Jack: Um, yes, exactly just to annoy you because I already know the answer to your get fpv mini [1826.58] Jack: Fpv screen. Do you remember when steel was diving down the edge of the building and fail safe? [1833.16] Jack: Yeah, everyone's like where do you get that monitor? They don't even sell it anymore. Blah, blah, blah. Do you want to just tell them? [1839.0] Kevin Dougherty: Yeah, it was it was a get fpv monitor man. That is a question. I get asked more than anything else [1846.76] Kevin Dougherty: What is that monitor? [1849.48] Kevin Dougherty: It's it's a cheapo monitor that has a dvr built in that I bought like two years ago when I first got into fpv [1856.76] Kevin Dougherty: So that I could record dvr footage because I had attitude b2s that didn't have a dvr [1862.2] Kevin Dougherty: And uh doesn't do raceband. It does not do a raceband. They've got a newer version of it now [1868.6] Kevin Dougherty: and it's like [1870.2] Kevin Dougherty: It for what it does [1872.12] Kevin Dougherty: It's nice ish. I would not I think it was like 150 when I bought it. I would not spend that much on it today [1879.24] Kevin Dougherty: And uh, I would not recommend you spend that anyone else spend that much money on it [1883.24] Kevin Dougherty: But i've already got it and so I like throw it in my bag when we're going out so that if we [1889.16] Kevin Dougherty: jump on a live [1892.44] Kevin Dougherty: What a facebook live or periscope, uh, I can point the camera at that screen and have [1899.0] Kevin Dougherty: You know [1900.04] Kevin Dougherty: Or share it with somebody that walks up [1902.44] Jack: so i've got i've got this which is a [1906.5] Jack: 20 pound in the uk, so that's about 30 odd dollars [1912.04] Jack: Um, nice. Hang on. Uh, it's called a snowflake screen on banggood. Hang on. Let me just [1920.76] Jack: Let me just grab a lipo [1925.32] Jack: Right, so [1926.84] Jack: Yeah, so i've got [1929.0] Jack: I've got that and you take it [1931.16] Jack: You you open it [1934.12] Jack: And you put a buck back into it [1938.04] Jack: So that it can run on a three cell [1941.72] Jack: Uh more efficiently. So then you've got that and then you get a [1946.2] Jack: diversity receiver, so i'm using the [1948.92] Jack: the um [1951.0] Jack: RC with the raceband and just tag through the [1954.76] Jack: The buttons and then i've just got a loom. So it goes out the side of the screen instead of the back [1961.0] Jack: into the bottom [1962.68] Jack: and then the normal thing with [1966.44] Jack: a [1967.96] Jack: xt60 and then basically [1970.68] Jack: plug it in [1973.0] Jack: And then put the battery at the back with the velcro [1977.24] Jack: And then you got the essentially a little fpv monitor that fits in your hand [1981.8] Jack: So you can also make and then when you're not using this and you want to use it as a ground station [1986.84] Jack: You can just attach it and then use the extra hole or [1991.24] Jack: Take it off and just use it as a normal ground station [1994.6] Jack: But you inspired that [1996.92] Jack: so [1998.12] Jack: because of your little i was like [2001.08] Jack: Now I know that you can't buy it and it hasn't got raceband and blah blah make it i'll make my own [2006.84] Jack: But that's a good idea thing [2011.64] Jack: You're the reason that exists some guy in the uk made something because you had something cool [2020.6] Tony: Yeah, awesome [2025.08] Tony: What would you like to bring out branded in your name, is there anything in your [2030.52] Jack: Why don't you come out with that monitor get get get them to remake it and make this this thingy storm [2040.28] Jack: That's an idea that is something that would be cool. Yeah, I'd be like you could buy it from me get someone to make it [2046.28] Kevin Dougherty: Send it to china [2050.84] Kevin Dougherty: That is my branded monitor [2052.84] Tony: Yeah, that's it [2055.0] Tony: Is there anything else that you want to do like people have done props motors? [2059.72] Tony: Is there anything out there a bit differently you want to do? [2063.08] Tony: Um or thought about or anything like that [2066.68] Kevin Dougherty: Hey, no [2069.08] Jack: He doesn't care.
