[12.88] Jack: In particular we'd like to thank these guys, Art Faulkner, Mikey Dredd, Wacky Wes, David Powell. [24.24] Jack: Thank you guys, you're the best, we can edit our podcast, thank you. [59.5] Jack: Hello and welcome to another episode of Let's Drone Out. [63.1] Jack: Tonight you are joined by Curry Kitten. [66.38] Jack: Hello. [67.66] Jack: Disclaimer. [69.42] Curry: I'm going into hand, carry on, I'll get back to it. [73.02] Jack: Oh, can you flash it up? [74.7] Jack: Any views expressed by any guests on the show, personal or may not reflect the views of the [79.58] Jack: others or the show? And Andy, I'll see. [82.94] Curry: We live in special times, everyone's too busy thinking about other things. [86.94] Frank: It's all right, the courts are closed. [89.42] Jack: Well, no, they now host legal stuff over the internet secure network, [96.22] Jack: and you get trialled remotely now. [99.5] Jack: Andy, I'll see. [100.94] Jack: Hello. [102.78] Jack: My little Tony. [104.62] Jack: Bonjour. [106.3] Jack: And the slightly alcoholic Frank. [109.58] Tony: Good evening. [110.46] Tony: It is Frank, I've got a new drink here tonight. [112.7] Tony: Can we talk about IPA for a while? [114.62] Tony: I've got no drone topics to talk about. [118.06] Tony: We actually haven't flown, nothing's new, we've got nothing to do. [122.46] Tony: It's crap, we're not allowed to go to our local fields, we're not allowed out. [126.14] Tony: It's a lot of rubbish. [127.66] Tony: Let's do a beer drinking channel. [132.06] AndyRC: Are they allowed to announce some good news today? [134.78] AndyRC: Sorry, go on, Jack. [136.38] Jack: And I'm bright until I fly, not that I matter. [139.02] Jack: I'll see you later. [140.14] AndyRC: Have fun, lad. [141.5] AndyRC: Frank. [144.06] AndyRC: Jack was waiting to do that from the start of the show. [147.26] AndyRC: He was not committed, he was soldering when he joined us. [150.54] Curry: He's still soldering. [151.74] Curry: Also, when's the last time anybody said, hey, bright until I fly, what are you doing? [156.22] AndyRC: Do you know what, I'm going to meet mine and turn my car off until he comes back. [162.54] AndyRC: Oh, this is going to be a great show, should I do it as well? [166.06] Frank: Well, just want to kick us off with some very solidly drone related news. [172.94] Frank: It's not exciting, but you know, the CAP1789, the guidance on the July rules in quotes. [184.7] Frank: Oh, I'm back, what about the July rules? [189.1] Frank: There's been an updated version of the guidance released [193.98] Frank: yesterday, the 29th of April, and there's some minor adjustments in there. [202.46] Frank: Mainly the biggest thing is that they're kicking it back until at least 1st of November. [207.5] Frank: So everything stays as it is until the 1st of November. [211.02] Frank: That's kind of the main things to take away from it. [214.14] Frank: There is also mention of remote ID in the beginning January 2022, but [219.98] Frank: it's very, very vague. [225.18] Frank: It references another document, which looking at that is also pretty vague. [229.5] Frank: There's more details on this on the LDO discord. [232.54] Frank: If you're really interested in finding out some more details, [236.3] Frank: I was pasting some screenshots to Winterblue earlier today or yesterday. [241.9] Frank: Either way, in the LDO discord, if you want more information on the CAP1789 guidance. [250.78] Frank: There we go, solid drone news. [252.46] Curry: We're still very upset about our £9.50. [254.38] Curry: We're still not getting back for even longer. [257.82] Curry: Boom. [258.86] Frank: Well, they just put it on or whatever. [261.26] Frank: I've met the quota for drone news. [265.1] Curry: No, they're small drone news, isn't there? [266.86] Curry: Because you've got virtual mini air show to talk about. [270.46] Frank: There is virtual mini air show. [272.94] Frank: We're now definitely doing this. [275.18] Frank: This is definitely happening. [276.7] Frank: The website has been updated and everything. [279.42] Frank: If you go to miniairshow.co.uk, it will tell you that you can go back there and find out more [285.98] Frank: and watch streams and stuff. [287.82] Frank: What it is, is we're going to have a schedule of YouTube live streams. [294.3] Frank: It's going to be happening throughout the day and on different channels, on different topics. [301.9] Frank: Some doing some live builds. [303.74] Frank: Some doing some talks and Q&As. [307.82] Frank: Some doing simulator sessions. [311.1] Frank: Fingers crossed some racing, but at least some freestyle competition. [318.78] Frank: So that is going to be happening on the actual Saturday that there was going to be the mini air [325.74] Frank: show. [326.3] Frank: So that is the 16th of May. [330.14] Frank: So that's only a couple of weeks away. [332.78] Tony: Was that off going to be our first all meet up? [337.9] Tony: Oh my God, it's so poo that it's not happening, isn't it? [343.58] Frank: I'm really, really confident that this is going to be the best RC event of spring 2020. [350.22] Frank: It's going to be the only RC event of spring 2020. [354.22] Frank: It's going to be the best RC event of spring 2020. [357.58] Curry: Frank, who's lined up to talk and do things so far on the streams? [361.66] Frank: So we've got Lurgie doing builds. [363.58] Frank: We've got Painless doing Q&As. [365.5] Frank: We've got Tiny Woop Go is going to be involved, potentially Jesse Perkins. [371.26] Frank: He's interested in co-commentating some of the Tiny Woop racing. [377.82] Frank: A bunch of other people talking to at the moment, talking about the things that they [381.5] Frank: might be doing, but we haven't worked out exactly what or when. [384.86] Frank: So I don't really want to put them on the spot until I actually got confirmation from them. [390.22] Frank: But yeah, there's a huge long list of people to be working out some schedules with. [398.22] Frank: So hopefully we'll have something like that about mid next week. [403.9] Frank: That's what we're aiming to do, is to firm up the schedule by then. [407.66] Frank: So yeah. [408.7] Tony: I'm glad we're not all going to meet each other. [411.82] Tony: I mean, online, it's going to be cool. [413.74] Tony: It's going to be great. [414.62] Tony: I mean, you're doing well, Frank. [416.54] Tony: Fingers crossed. [419.1] Tony: It's gutting that we're not going to all meet up and have cuddles and fly stuff and drink beer. [430.62] Frank: We're going to be using a selection of simulators. [434.22] Frank: Different slots are going to use different simulators. [435.98] Frank: But the big headline one, I'm pretty sure, is going to be the Tiny Woop Go. [440.38] Frank: I think that's going to be... [442.22] Frank: I've not heard of that. [443.66] AndyRC: Tiny Woop Go. [445.02] Frank: That one, Jesse's... [446.62] Frank: Exactly, so it's, yes, it is interesting. [451.82] Frank: Go take a look at it. [452.86] Frank: Go download it. [454.14] AndyRC: I'm just thinking for the people who want to join in. [457.34] AndyRC: It is free to use. [459.74] AndyRC: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. [460.94] AndyRC: You know, people need to get it in advance. [463.34] AndyRC: Or is that not the idea? [464.86] AndyRC: Because then they know all the tracks and stuff if they got it in advance. [469.34] Frank: Well, that's the thing is that, speaking to them, they are potentially giving us the ability [475.9] Frank: to make our own track. [478.14] AndyRC: Oh, cool. [478.94] AndyRC: Okay. [482.3] AndyRC: Will that be the Rotor Brush, guys, then? [484.94] Frank: So it's kind of... [486.14] Frank: It is almost a fork of Rotor Brush. [490.14] Frank: Specifically for the Tiny Woop stuff. [495.42] Frank: But yeah, it's pretty good. [498.46] Frank: Having played around with it a little bit. [501.74] Frank: Yeah, you can have a go at that. [504.78] Frank: I'm sure we'll be having a go with Currier Simulator as well, [509.9] Frank: which is also free. [511.26] Frank: So you can try a selection of free simulators. [515.74] AndyRC: I was just playing that. [518.06] AndyRC: Yeah. [518.54] AndyRC: Which one? [519.02] AndyRC: I was just playing yours, Wayne. [520.54] AndyRC: Very good. [521.1] AndyRC: Very impressed. [523.42] AndyRC: Does it fly like a real one? [526.46] AndyRC: I had to play around with the rates and the throttle multiplier and the gravity, [531.66] AndyRC: but I was very impressed. [533.26] AndyRC: I think if you had never flown FPV before, [537.18] AndyRC: you could definitely get going with it for sure. [541.34] Curry: Yes, you definitely need to mess around with it [543.82] Curry: to make it feel like you want it to feel. [545.9] Curry: Me and Frank were trying it. [546.94] Curry: We were trying the very... [548.7] Curry: My Wednesday, let's see if I can write Networking a Day feature, [553.1] Curry: which kind of works if you don't mind. [555.74] Curry: It kind of looks like someone's got your quad on a string [558.38] Curry: and is doing this to it. [559.74] Curry: Oh, yeah. [560.38] Curry: It's a bit wobbly, but we think we fixed that bit now. [563.26] Frank: But it was very accurate in that we could barely find each other to follow each other. [568.78] Frank: Barely find each other. [569.98] Curry: Where are you? [570.54] Curry: I'm by the tree. [571.34] Curry: Which tree? [572.14] Curry: By the hoop. [573.02] Curry: I can't see you. [573.82] Tony: I'm still offering. [574.46] Tony: I'm running out of battery. [577.66] Curry: So, we've nailed the authenticity of quad chasing [581.26] Curry: and the fact you can't find each other. [584.86] Frank: Oh, he's fast. [588.94] Frank: The networking side of it seemed to work pretty flawlessly. [592.38] Frank: That was just the case of fire it up, pick a name in, and it worked. [597.66] Frank: So, that side of things looking pretty promising. [601.74] Curry: Well, hopefully I have something ready in a couple of weeks at least. [604.7] Frank: Yeah. [605.1] Curry: In case people want to virtually mess with each other. [608.38] Frank: And if nothing else, I'm sure we can do the FPV pre-style competition [614.86] Frank: that we usually do at the Mini Air shows by screen sharing from Asim, if nothing else. [621.58] Jack: Can we buy an NJ so people can have a chance of winning? [628.22] Frank: Well, he was a judge last time. [630.62] Jack: Oh, good. [631.58] Frank: He's got the handicap of he's spending all hours, God sends, doing [637.82] Frank: what we're doing at the moment, guitar lessons. [640.94] Jack: Available from NJ on Cloudcake server. [647.58] Frank: Yeah, that's his handicap. [649.5] Curry: In order to make a handicap, what we should make is some sort of guitar MIDI controller [655.5] Curry: to joystick input. [657.18] Curry: And he has to solo in order to fly quad. [660.94] Jack: Oh, that is hilarious. [663.02] Jack: Yeah, his throttle is accumulated by how many notes he can play. [669.98] Curry: Yeah, if he drops under 300 notes a minute, he crashes. [672.62] Curry: I'd say he has to keep playing. [673.98] Frank: But just in the chat from tailspin saying sync FPV has a new freesim as well. [684.7] Frank: That's on the scene. [688.22] Jack: I invited you guys to the chat. [693.66] Curry: Is it all live stream? [694.7] Curry: I did. [694.86] Curry: Yeah, we did watch afterwards. [697.82] Curry: It looks amazing graphically. [699.82] Curry: It's from a sort of defunct MMO where people can build their own islands and things. [703.98] Curry: Love the art style. [705.02] Curry: What's MMO short for? [707.42] Curry: Massively, well, it's a memorabrug. [709.98] Curry: It's a massively multiplayer online role playing game. [713.58] Curry: A bit like, you know, the I can't think of any now, you know, [719.5] Curry: World of Warcraft. [720.22] Curry: There we go. [722.46] Curry: You're meant to be a nerd. [724.54] Curry: Yeah, but I never play these. [726.3] Curry: I cannot commit to playing a massively multiplayer online role playing game [730.06] Curry: because I'll just be doing that forever instead of getting them with the hundreds [733.18] Curry: of other games that sat on the shelf there, which I'll never finish. [735.66] Curry: I know. [737.02] Jack: I'm having to try and not play Minecraft constantly. [740.86] Jack: Well, that's not a big game. [742.14] Curry: Don't get me started on that. [744.06] Frank: I think the solid unique selling point of Curry Sim is that it can run on my laptop, [753.18] Frank: which is not built for running anything except for the end. [756.7] Curry: It runs on Pooh. [757.98] Curry: To be fair, I'm calling it a design decision. [760.3] Curry: It's mainly because I can't draw. [761.98] Curry: So the graphics aren't very good. [765.38] Curry: Hence, it will run on stuff. [768.66] Frank: Brutally honest there. [771.06] Frank: But it works. [772.1] Curry: I would ask Jack to draw stuff for me, but we've seen his drawings [775.78] Curry: and not work safe at all, are they? [778.02] AndyRC: No. [778.74] AndyRC: I really like how it's easy to set up on the controller. [784.34] AndyRC: You know, you've got your picture of an F-R Sky transmitter and because I fly mode one, [790.1] AndyRC: I lifted my throttle up and it started to do yours. [793.86] AndyRC: So I just did the calibrate option and just followed it along. [798.26] AndyRC: You have to make sure that you only put one input in. [800.26] AndyRC: Don't you? [800.74] AndyRC: Otherwise it'll record the second. [802.98] AndyRC: But other than that, it was like, yeah, all set up. [806.26] AndyRC: Great. [806.74] Frank: It did take me a couple of times to not accidentally set my pitch as the [815.86] Frank: reset switch somehow. [817.14] Frank: Yeah. [818.74] AndyRC: Oh, okay. [820.1] Frank: It kept taking that as like whatever it wants to do. [823.3] Frank: But if I literally put it down and didn't touch it, then it was fine. [828.18] Frank: So that's why I ended up doing it. [829.54] AndyRC: One thing I didn't get around to, Wayne, is there a field of view option change? [833.62] AndyRC: I didn't look that far. [836.9] Curry: No, it's something I feel is holding it back. [840.66] Curry: And it's something I want to sort out. [843.86] Curry: But will it run a Raspberry Pi? [846.5] Curry: It'll run on Linux. [848.82] Curry: And depending on what distribution of Raspberry Pi, who knows? [853.06] Tony: I haven't tested it. [856.34] Tony: Talking about Raspberry Pis, Frank, what have you been doing with your... [860.1] Tony: You've had some fingers in the Pi, haven't you? [863.7] Frank: I've had... [864.74] Frank: There's a Raspberry Pi up on my windowsill just now, just out of shot with an RTL SDR, [873.7] Frank: which I know is software defined radio, but I can't remember what the RTL stands for. [878.58] Frank: But that's doing ADS-B reception. [882.42] Frank: So the remote ID of the aircraft world that's apparently been sort of... [890.66] Frank: The kind of idea of it has been... [893.3] Frank: Which has been sort of worked on since like the 40s, late 40s. [898.26] Frank: So it's been around for quite a while. [902.1] Frank: But it's on 1080 megahertz, at least in EU, they're pinging out a message that says, [913.3] Frank: this is what my location is, this is what my altitude is, this is how fast I'm going, [919.46] Frank: what direction I'm going, all that kind of thing. [921.62] Frank: And a squawk code, which uses some interesting design choices. [926.26] Frank: But yeah, there's that as well. [928.5] Frank: And then... [930.1] Jack: Does it let people know your intentions? [933.54] Frank: Kind of. [936.9] Frank: But yeah, so that's being picked up on my windowsill from 100 kilometers away. [941.46] Frank: Can I see you? [943.94] Tony: You're just listening? [946.18] Frank: Yeah, this is just listening. [947.46] Frank: And then feeds it into the internet. [950.98] AndyRC: Is that how things like flight radar work then? [954.58] AndyRC: So does it purely rely on people creating these hot spots like you have? [962.98] AndyRC: So hobbyists, essentially. [964.98] AndyRC: And then you can use something like... [967.38] Frank: I don't know how flight radar do it. [968.9] Frank: I know you can set up a feed to feed flight radar, [974.58] Frank: I've set up this one for feeding a kind of almost open source competitor to flight radar 24, [982.18] Frank: which is... [982.66] AndyRC: An ADSV exchange, or is it that one? [985.22] Frank: Exactly, ADSV exchange. [986.98] Frank: And that's what I've been using. [988.18] Frank: That's what this is feeding it to. [990.42] AndyRC: So it's a way to track aircraft as almost... [993.86] AndyRC: Is it used outside of a hobby? [996.26] AndyRC: Is it used by the aviation world as well? [999.62] Frank: Oh yeah, so anywhere where there's air traffic control, [1008.58] Frank: they might have radar as well, [1010.74] Frank: but they won't know from radar who it is, [1014.98] Frank: or where they're going, or anything like that. [1019.62] Frank: So by using ADSV, it kind of annotates radar and says, [1025.94] Frank: this is who that is and what they're doing. [1029.38] Frank: And what name you need to call if you're calling them on the radio or whatever. [1034.9] Frank: Yes, so that's kind of... [1037.22] Frank: And that's interesting enough related to drones. [1041.06] Frank: That's also kind of a lot of what the remote ID is kind of being based around, [1048.74] Frank: or at least being thought around. [1049.86] Frank: So there was one ping that has been around for a good three, four years. [1058.66] Frank: That is like an ADSV, a miniaturized ADSV, [1062.02] Frank: specifically for unmanned aircraft. [1067.86] Frank: And then there's... [1069.22] Frank: I'm pretty sure this is what the DJI, the latest one, [1074.26] Frank: I think the Mavica 2 might even have some ADSV. [1078.1] Tony: That looks quite nice though, [1079.22] Tony: but I think that's only in the US and Canada, isn't it? [1084.18] Tony: I don't think it's in Europe. [1085.46] Frank: But anyone paid any attention to the US stuff recently? [1091.58] Tony: I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's only America and Canada. [1095.34] AndyRC: I was surprised they released a camera drone at a time [1099.26] AndyRC: when you can't really use them. [1100.94] AndyRC: But perhaps... [1102.94] AndyRC: Maybe if I could go further. [1104.06] AndyRC: If I could fly on there apparently as well, yeah. [1108.38] Frank: I know there's somebody who bought a Mavic Mini like a week ago, [1113.58] Frank: who messaged me like, [1117.34] Frank: what do you recommend? [1118.62] Frank: What do I need to do? [1119.66] Frank: Where should I learn? [1121.1] Frank: All that kind of stuff. [1122.06] Frank: And so I gave him some things. [1123.18] Frank: But he is in Wales, [1129.82] Frank: but I can't imagine he's as far enough into the middle of nowhere [1133.74] Frank: to just be able to go on flying. [1136.14] Tony: I was right. [1137.42] Tony: Mr. Shady says I was right. [1139.42] Tony: It's only US and Canada. [1144.14] Tony: It's weird because why wouldn't I do it in Europe? [1150.62] Frank: So Winterbloo in the chat is talking to Zoe at the moment. [1159.58] Frank: Did she just cry at me? [1160.78] Frank: Have you seen Zoe's new workshop? [1163.98] Jack: No, she moved into an apartment. [1166.22] Jack: That's the last I saw of it. [1168.38] Tony: Speaking of an apartment. [1170.14] Tony: I thought she was still on the road. [1172.14] Jack: No, she was getting one, I think. [1175.58] Jack: Last I heard. [1177.58] Jack: I was on her Discord out of limits. [1183.82] Jack: It's open Discord. [1187.42] Jack: Frank, speaking of apartments, chair or screen? [1195.1] Frank: I am going to watch this chair if I don't get any chairs in. [1199.66] Frank: Because spending most of my day on this chair is killing me slowly. [1208.3] Frank: So yeah, I'm desperately in need of a new chair. [1212.22] Tony: You're going to shell out then, Frank? [1213.9] Frank: Yeah. [1214.94] Jack: Always buy a new chair. [1215.42] Jack: Should we start a chair, Fun? [1217.9] Tony: Gaming chair? [1219.74] Tony: I just hit it on a tin thing. [1222.54] Tony: Folder, tin, horrible thing here. [1225.66] Frank: I just need to find somewhere that has an office chair in stock at the moment. [1229.66] Frank: Because it seems like along with webcams and keyboards, [1235.66] Frank: I can tell everyone has bought one for their home recently. [1238.94] Frank: And there aren't many around. [1240.62] Frank: Interesting. [1241.02] Frank: Anyone has a line on not too expensive office chairs? [1245.34] Frank: Webcams, chairs and toilet paper. [1247.9] Frank: Interesting. [1248.46] Frank: And toilet paper, yeah. [1250.86] Frank: And it's all from the same problem, [1251.9] Frank: which is that everyone's spending time at home, not in the office. [1254.38] Frank: So they're using toilet paper in the home and the office. [1256.94] Frank: They're using chairs in the home, not in the office. [1259.18] Frank: Webcams in the home, not in the office. [1260.94] Frank: And so the supply chains have struggled to move everything [1267.1] Frank: that they've had in the office supply chains over to the commercial supply chains. [1271.9] Tony: I'd like a new webcam to be fair. [1273.9] Tony: This one I've got on my laptop. [1276.7] AndyRC: He said it freezes up just as he says it. [1282.06] AndyRC: I think we need a new computer tone. [1284.38] AndyRC: We've lost tunnel. [1285.74] AndyRC: Do you think we're going to be allowed out after next week? [1289.5] AndyRC: Let's speculate on that because it's looked like there might be some plans [1293.74] AndyRC: for us to be able to do that. [1296.22] Jack: Probably you youngins will be allowed out. [1298.46] Jack: So that will be Frank. [1300.54] Jack: Can you tell me, yeah, Frank's like... [1304.22] Jack: Yeah, who's... [1306.06] Frank: I might be going back to work on the 11th. [1311.58] Jack: So that's about it. [1313.18] Jack: Talk about the new folding five-inch prop. [1315.58] Jack: Oh, my God. [1316.3] Jack: Have you guys seen that? [1317.9] Jack: The folding... [1319.74] Jack: Is it... [1320.22] Jack: Dow... [1322.22] AndyRC: Yeah. [1322.62] Jack: Yeah. [1324.78] AndyRC: Dow five... [1327.1] AndyRC: Folding five-inch three tri-blade. [1330.38] AndyRC: Yeah, Dow prop four. [1331.42] Curry: Yeah. [1331.9] Curry: Can you collect it into itself in one prop ball? [1337.1] AndyRC: Three prop soles fold down. [1339.02] AndyRC: Think of like a DJI dual blade, but a tri-blade version of that. [1343.5] AndyRC: And it's basically that. [1345.1] AndyRC: But it looks like a Dow prop. [1349.66] AndyRC: What is the point? [1351.18] Jack: It's just like fidget spinners. [1354.54] Tony: What's the point of these? [1357.74] Jack: I think someone's had some sort of fever dream and has gone... [1361.1] Jack: I'm completely... [1362.14] Curry: As I said, everyone's so bored that they're just... [1364.86] Curry: Let's design something that will fold up. [1366.86] Curry: It's like props don't last long enough to fold up. [1369.02] Curry: Don't worry, just design it. [1370.78] AndyRC: I mean, to be fair to them, though, [1372.86] AndyRC: props are the most annoying thing on a quad, aren't they, [1375.66] AndyRC: when it comes to, like, storage, you know? [1378.46] AndyRC: I mean, quads are really minimalistic when they've got the props off. [1381.98] AndyRC: You can store them in a box, but as soon as they've got the props on, it's... [1386.06] Curry: I'm not happy with some sort of universal, sort of, quick release [1389.1] Curry: and put-back-on mechanism for props. [1391.18] Tony: They've already done that, and the po-po... [1393.26] Tony: Someone did one, but... [1394.22] Curry: You catch on, did they? [1395.82] Curry: No. [1397.34] Curry: If they tried everywhere, it'd be better. [1400.38] Tony: I mean, I took my X-Class ones off to hang it on the wall [1404.3] Tony: because it was taking up too much room. [1406.14] Tony: Well, that was where I saw it. [1407.66] Frank: It was in the macro quads Facebook group. [1413.82] Frank: There's seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven-inch quads. [1419.18] Frank: And they're kind of saying on there, like, [1422.7] Frank: don't do it for five-inch, do it for, like, nine-inch. [1425.74] Frank: Do it for 12-inch props. [1428.62] Frank: Do it for big props, where that way, you know, [1433.98] Frank: you're sticking it in your car or whatever, [1436.14] Frank: you don't have to take the prop off to actually fit it in through a doorway or whatever. [1442.7] Frank: And the other thing is, you know, with the X-Class size props, how much do they cost, Tony? [1449.18] Curry: It's a 50-per... [1453.28] Curry: It was so offensive, it might disconnect. [1459.6] Curry: Is that a 50-pound for a set of four, each prop? We don't know. [1463.36] Frank: Stay tuned to find out. [1465.36] Frank: If Tony can come back. [1468.24] Frank: They're very expensive. [1469.2] AndyRC: That's got to be for a set of four, surely. [1472.48] Curry: Yeah, he's back in the chat now. [1475.76] Frank: So if he could have, yeah, 50 pounds for four. [1479.2] Frank: But if he could, you know, maybe have it a little less. [1484.8] Frank: So it'd still probably be, like, 50 pounds for the whole lot, [1487.44] Frank: but at least then if you break one, you only have to replace half of one. [1495.52] Jack: Thing is, when those big guys crash, I mean, they crash. [1500.4] Frank: They really, really... [1501.92] Frank: Like, the thaw being stress-tested, let's say. [1507.92] Frank: Like, that was a case of putting a new arm on it, which the aluminium tube, [1512.72] Frank: and then it was pretty much up and away from there, wasn't it? [1517.04] Frank: I've seen it definitely crash and fly again in the same day. [1523.28] Frank: Which, you know, for something that size, if it's a wing, [1526.96] Frank: that's not going to be flying again the same day. [1531.44] Frank: It's no hot-swapping components on a, you know, balsa model. [1537.44] AndyRC: I think it's just for convenience, you know, shoving it in your bag or whatever. [1540.72] AndyRC: You know, if you can't really shove a quad in your bag, [1542.88] AndyRC: because the props will either get bent or they won't fit. [1545.92] AndyRC: But I can't see it catching on, really. [1548.8] AndyRC: They look very heavy, those hubs do, don't they? [1552.88] AndyRC: And then you have to think, as well. [1554.56] AndyRC: They're probably going to vibrate some, as well, aren't they? [1557.52] AndyRC: With them flexing, you know? [1559.52] AndyRC: With them, sorry, like, moving, being able to move, you would think. [1564.16] AndyRC: Or it'd be difficult to balance them, for sure, [1566.08] AndyRC: when you start putting screws and things in there that, you know, [1572.32] AndyRC: cheaper to bin a set of props rather than fold them each time. [1575.6] AndyRC: I think it's more for storage, you know? [1577.68] AndyRC: It's every time, you know, if you're flying on a daily basis, [1582.96] AndyRC: then you don't want to be taking your props off. [1584.88] AndyRC: Sometimes it can take, you know, maybe five minutes. [1589.76] AndyRC: In the UK, five minutes of the difference [1591.76] AndyRC: between getting a flight in and it raining, you know? [1596.0] Curry: It does seem a bit niche, though. [1597.36] Curry: It feels like they're trying to fix a problem that may not actually exist. [1600.8] Curry: Oh, no, I agree with it. [1602.48] AndyRC: I'm not sure that is the solution, you know? [1606.32] AndyRC: The DJI propellers on the Phantom, very easy to do, you know? [1612.32] AndyRC: Just like a lift-on system sort of thing. [1617.2] AndyRC: Or is it a push-down and twist kind of thing? [1620.56] Curry: Well, loads of the GTIs are threaded ones as well, don't they? [1624.96] Curry: Where you just thread them straight on [1626.88] Curry: and the way the motor turns will keep them tight [1629.68] Curry: and then you just unscrew them straight off again. [1631.68] AndyRC: I think since the Phantom 4, they've all had a couple of them. [1636.72] AndyRC: They've all had a push-on and twist system. [1639.84] AndyRC: So I can't see why we can't adapt that. [1643.04] Frank: Personally, quarter turns seem like a much better fastener than threads. [1647.68] Frank: Like threads of finicky and strip and... [1651.92] Curry: I'll tell you why it's not catching on. [1653.92] Curry: Probably because as soon as they say this, [1656.4] Curry: the racers will say, oh, no, that weighs an extra gram. [1658.64] Curry: We can't have that as the winner fly. [1661.68] Curry: Our prongs weigh one. [1662.56] Curry: And then everybody says, oh, fair enough. [1664.16] Frank: Well, that's where it is, is that rather than racers, [1667.76] Frank: for freestylers, bandos, you know, people, [1673.2] Frank: like you say, Andy, chucking them in the backpack, [1675.92] Frank: going to a spot, pulling it out, [1679.28] Frank: putting it around for a pack or even half a pack [1681.52] Frank: and then chucking it back in the bag [1684.4] Frank: and walking onto the next spot. [1686.32] Frank: Yeah, exactly. [1688.16] Frank: This episode was recorded in front of a live online audience, [1691.68] Frank: downloaded and edited to make sense when it played audio only, [1695.2] Frank: censored to please the iTunes people, [1697.04] Frank: hosted on the internet, [1698.08] Frank: forwarded through to your podcast provider, [1699.92] Frank: downloaded, playing on your device [1701.76] Frank: and is now playing in your ears.

[1709.2] Frank: Find out more at patreon.com forward slash let's drone out. [1714.0] Frank: But, Jack, have you tried to carry a symbiote, Jack? [1719.52] Frank: No. [1720.4] Frank: Why not? [1720.88] Frank: What's your excuse? [1722.24] Frank: Very good. [1723.28] Curry: Just a friendly little cat porn [1726.24] Curry: and threatening to rape hedgehogs. [1729.68] Curry: Rake hedgehogs, I'll have you know. [1733.6] Curry: It's the mind it goes into. [1739.28] Curry: Wasn't the mind you were talking about? [1741.6] Curry: Poor hedgehogs. [1743.92] Tony: Hey, Mike, it dreads in the chat. [1747.52] Jack: Make me laugh. [1748.96] Jack: I tried curry sim. [1750.24] Jack: Super cool. [1751.52] Curry: Make me try it and then he opened up an issue [1756.48] Curry: which he's quite welcome to [1757.68] Curry: and then discovered he made a mistake. [1759.2] Curry: So that was the kind of issue I liked [1760.96] Curry: because we could close it straight off again. [1764.56] Frank: It adds to your issues closed. [1766.88] Curry: My issues closed is looking good. [1768.88] AndyRC: You're talking about getting the field of view changed [1772.0] AndyRC: I think when people went up tangent. [1773.76] AndyRC: So where are you at with that? [1776.8] Curry: It's my thing to do after networking in Steam. [1781.2] Curry: There's this thing in the game engine [1783.2] Curry: where I can say this is the angle of the camera. [1785.84] Curry: And what's happening is if I increase the view of the camera, [1789.68] Curry: it looks like everything gets stretched out like that. [1794.08] Curry: When we increase the field of view in an FPV camera, [1796.48] Curry: basically we get that distortion at the sides [1798.72] Curry: and things goes away at the sides [1800.48] Curry: and that's where they distort. [1801.84] Curry: In this one, by default, it's going away in the center. [1805.04] Curry: So what you end up with is the arms stretching out like that. [1809.04] Curry: And I was like, that's not the look I'm looking for here. [1811.44] Curry: So basically I have to write a shader [1814.56] Curry: to install my own sort of field of view thing somehow, [1818.48] Curry: which I don't know how to do because it's in shader language. [1820.56] Curry: So it's another thing to learn. [1821.6] Curry: Hence, I've left it to one of the last things. [1824.32] Curry: But I agree. [1825.84] Curry: The field of view is a problem [1827.2] Curry: because when you're approaching a gap, [1830.72] Curry: it feels like you're a massive quad and the gap's not very big. [1834.48] Curry: When me and Frank just messed around following each other, [1838.4] Curry: we're like, we're tiny. [1839.76] Curry: This is like following that. [1841.04] Curry: So you see Frank go through like the gap under the building, [1846.72] Curry: which he crashed into, by the way, because it was so messy. [1849.2] Curry: Yeah, I saw that when you were in... [1850.64] Curry: He looked absolutely tiny. [1852.64] Curry: But from his point of view, it would look, [1854.96] Curry: because the field of view is not as big as I want it, [1857.2] Curry: it looks like there's not that much space. [1860.08] Curry: So that's definitely one of the things I want to fix. [1863.6] Curry: But yeah, I have to go away and think about [1865.36] Curry: how to write a specific shader for it, [1867.2] Curry: which basically takes the image that we've got [1870.64] Curry: and rearranges it in a situation [1872.4] Curry: where we can basically emulate a sort of wide angle lens. [1878.24] Curry: And then I have to think about how I can change that [1880.4] Curry: through various things, which looks complicated. [1886.08] Frank: Until the networking is actually released, [1889.12] Frank: the best, well, the two best parts are hitting spacebar [1893.76] Frank: and getting some cars or planes to chase. [1900.08] Frank: Or the other bit is the wind turbines. [1904.08] Frank: I spent like a whole morning yesterday, [1906.8] Frank: I think it was, just chasing blades of wind turbines, [1910.64] Frank: just trying to match them. [1912.32] Curry: I need to download this, don't I? [1914.0] Curry: Oh, I definitely like chasing the planes [1915.6] Curry: and the cars around most, [1916.8] Curry: because chasing planes is exactly the sort of thing [1919.6] Curry: I like to do when I go out flying with friends. [1923.52] Curry: I remember we tried to do it with your plane [1925.28] Curry: when you came to my spot, [1926.24] Curry: but you were flying line of sight [1927.44] Curry: and that wasn't as successful. [1930.64] Curry: You'd have to pull it into the ground. [1935.28] Curry: And yeah, I never got a chance to chase drift cars [1939.04] Curry: like Tony has, so I wanted to put something in there. [1941.44] Curry: That was fun. [1943.44] Curry: Yeah, looks fun. [1945.36] Frank: The following the plane is good fun. [1950.08] Frank: I was trying to form up with it [1952.96] Frank: in like a flight test formation [1955.28] Frank: of just below it looking backwards [1957.04] Frank: and flying backwards. [1960.0] Frank: And yeah, it's good fun. [1963.76] Curry: One of your challenges is, [1964.72] Curry: and it's possible to do, I've done it, [1966.16] Curry: if you hit the plane hard enough, [1968.24] Curry: you can crash it into the ground. [1969.84] Frank: Really? [1971.04] Frank: I did discover that it had a collider on it, [1973.36] Frank: it's got a collider. [1974.8] Curry: Although it's on a flight path, [1977.28] Curry: it works on waypoints. [1978.4] Curry: So it says fly to here, fly to here. [1980.72] Curry: The how it does it, [1982.0] Curry: is it interprets the waypoints [1985.04] Curry: is like I have to turn into turn, [1986.32] Curry: I have to like do this. [1987.76] Curry: So if you whack it hard enough, [1990.0] Curry: it will screw up the point. [1991.12] Curry: And if you like, for example, [1992.48] Curry: when it's going towards the buildings [1993.76] Curry: where it's quite tight, [1994.64] Curry: if you give it a good whack there, [1995.92] Curry: you can get it to fly into a building, no problem. [1999.68] Curry: It's one of the challenge things to do. [2003.2] Curry: Yes, it does work on a Mac. [2004.32] Curry: I developed it on a Mac, [2005.28] Curry: and it works on Windows, [2006.32] Curry: and it works on, [2008.08] Curry: what's that other, Linux. [2011.12] Curry: Works everything, except Pi. [2014.72] Curry: Because I've just remembered [2015.84] Curry: that it's on an ARM chip, [2016.96] Curry: so that's probably not going to work. [2019.36] AndyRC: I think as well, [2021.6] AndyRC: for me when I was playing it, [2023.04] AndyRC: because I haven't flown for probably about a week, [2027.04] AndyRC: it's really a good way to get your FPV fixed. [2029.92] AndyRC: I was like, oh, I'll probably be, [2032.24] AndyRC: I don't know, five minutes on this, [2033.92] AndyRC: and then, you know, 40 minutes later, [2035.92] AndyRC: I'm like, where did that five minutes go? [2039.04] AndyRC: Well, I think it was fun. [2041.2] Curry: But yeah, that's why I wanted to, [2043.12] Curry: that's why I've skipped ahead a few things [2045.76] Curry: to work on the networking, [2047.2] Curry: because I thought it's always fun [2049.36] Curry: to fly with your friends, isn't it? [2050.48] Curry: Because if we were out in the field together, [2052.56] Curry: we wouldn't sort of like, [2053.44] Curry: everybody stop and watch Tony, [2054.64] Curry: everybody stop and watch Andy, [2055.6] Curry: we'd all sort of get up together, [2057.52] Curry: and then see how things were like, [2058.48] Curry: where are you by the tree? [2059.68] Curry: What tree? [2060.4] Curry: No, that tree. [2061.28] Curry: Other tree. [2061.92] Curry: And then we'd land where we had no battery [2063.76] Curry: and not find each other, [2065.28] Curry: but you know, it's the same sort of thing. [2068.56] Curry: Will it be possible to fly the plane or the cars? [2071.04] Curry: Sorry, I've got a comment coming out from Neil Jones there. [2074.56] Curry: It will be possible to fly the plane. [2077.44] Curry: There's a feature there to add it in [2080.0] Curry: that needs just a bit more restructuring. [2082.08] Curry: There's an issue. [2083.28] Curry: I've opened myself up my own issue to say, [2085.68] Curry: be able to fly the plane. [2087.76] Curry: The codes all there, [2089.12] Curry: it just needs some messing about with. [2091.52] Curry: Because of course, one of the things I want to do, [2095.04] Curry: and we've talked about before, [2096.56] Curry: and Frank especially had some ideas about this, [2101.28] Curry: when you're learning to fly, [2103.04] Curry: the idea is that you sort of take people's minds off [2106.64] Curry: flying and put them on something else. [2108.16] Curry: So if you can make a game out of it, [2109.76] Curry: like one person fly the plane, [2111.92] Curry: the other people crash into the plane and make him crash, [2114.4] Curry: how long can you last? [2115.52] Curry: Or stuff like the beach ball, [2117.44] Curry: what if we turn that into like, [2118.88] Curry: who can score a goal against each other? [2120.88] Curry: Are all things where you're sort of developing skill [2123.04] Curry: and you're not thinking about your thumbs and stuff, [2125.12] Curry: and you're just getting on with it, [2126.16] Curry: and that then translates into real life. [2128.08] Curry: Although you won't go out necessarily [2129.84] Curry: and hit planes or hit beach balls, [2133.52] Curry: you'll have that muscle memory, [2135.28] Curry: and you'll be more confident about flying in real life. [2137.68] Curry: That's the plan. [2141.31] Frank: So I've got a news flash of an airshow [2144.19] Frank: that I've just been notified about in the chat. [2149.07] Frank: That potentially sounds like we'll have a nurk there. [2154.59] Frank: Wow. [2155.07] Tony: First one. [2156.51] Tony: That'd be cool. [2157.55] Tony: Nice. [2160.67] Tony: Numskull was talking about the Ender 3, I think, printer. [2165.47] Tony: One of my close friends has just bought six of them from France, [2169.87] Tony: and they were here in England within three days. [2174.91] Tony: So I could find out if he really wanted to know. [2181.23] Curry: It sounds like he's ordered a new seven-inch frame instead. [2183.87] Curry: He got fed up with the idea of waiting, I think. [2186.51] Tony: Okay. [2188.03] Tony: Well, as I say, my mate got six of them in three days. [2194.03] Tony: He's printing out loads of face mask stuff for the NHS. [2197.87] Tony: He's been on TV. [2199.23] Tony: Well, his stuff's been on TV and stuff. [2203.23] Tony: So yeah. [2205.07] Tony: Wings and Wheels is cancelled till next year, too. [2207.87] Tony: Oh, man, that was my favourite last year. [2211.23] Tony: Has it really been cancelled? [2212.67] Tony: That's because I'm not on Facebook. [2216.83] Tony: I think it's going to be a non-meetup year then, isn't it? [2220.91] AndyRC: I think Weston Park's still going ahead so far in October and November. [2225.47] AndyRC: I don't think they've got it. [2226.59] AndyRC: It'd be minus 12 and raining odd. [2229.31] AndyRC: It will, yeah. [2230.91] AndyRC: No, I'd go anyway. [2232.43] AndyRC: I believe that the reason why they pushed it... [2235.07] AndyRC: I think it might be November. [2236.75] AndyRC: I think my friend was telling me that the fireworks at Weston Park [2241.87] AndyRC: started on Bonfire Night doing a special fireworks display [2246.27] AndyRC: and they built it into the summer show. [2249.07] AndyRC: So it's not something they haven't done before. [2253.23] AndyRC: But there's nothing to say that the events will happen in October. [2258.35] Frank: We accept all Mini Airshow, which you'll be able to join in live. [2263.55] Frank: MiniAirshow.co.uk on the 16th of April. [2266.19] Curry: We're bringing 2020 back, people, with Mini Airshow Virtual Edition. [2270.99] Curry: Yep. [2273.79] UNKNOWN: Exciting. [2274.43] Frank: You're missing all the events. [2276.51] Frank: This will be the best event of Spring 2020 by far. [2282.51] Curry: Did anybody actually manage to fly anything this week? [2285.63] AndyRC: Not this week, no. [2288.54] AndyRC: We've had the rain set up here. [2291.66] AndyRC: I don't know about you guys, but we've had... [2294.22] AndyRC: Yes, it's about Saturday. [2296.06] Curry: Yeah, and then I won't be able to fly at the weekend. [2299.82] AndyRC: But I've got the Diatom Tina to check out. [2304.06] AndyRC: I don't know if you're aware of that one. [2306.62] AndyRC: No. [2307.26] AndyRC: It's an interesting one because it's got the Flight One firmware on it. [2312.62] AndyRC: Oh, I didn't know that. [2314.62] Curry: Oh, I didn't know that. [2315.98] Curry: I'm supposed to get in that, but it was quite a different design, wasn't it? [2319.82] Curry: Because it's like it's got an upper and lower frame part where it's all sort of enclosed. [2326.14] AndyRC: Very similar to the... [2327.74] AndyRC: I mean, there is a company, FlexRC, Dimitri from FlexRC. [2332.06] AndyRC: He's been making those kind of designs for years and years. [2335.66] AndyRC: But as these small models become more populous for flying indoors, [2341.98] AndyRC: they've sort of taken that design and made it smaller. [2346.78] AndyRC: Yeah, it comes with the Flight One. [2349.66] AndyRC: Is it called the Falcor? [2351.1] AndyRC: Not Falcor. [2351.58] AndyRC: It's not Falcor. [2353.02] AndyRC: Falcor's a camera, isn't it? [2354.7] Curry: From... [2355.9] Curry: No, no. [2356.86] Curry: Falcor was a camera. [2358.78] Curry: No, it wasn't. [2359.66] Tony: It was a massive thing that you used to ride on in NeverEnd in Story, wasn't it? [2367.58] Tony: Game, right? [2368.94] Tony: All right. [2369.5] Tony: But it was also a... [2370.38] Curry: Falcor was a camera. [2374.3] AndyRC: Falcor X. [2375.1] AndyRC: You see, they know up to more stuff than... [2377.58] AndyRC: Yeah, Falcor X, I believe it's a firmware-like beta flight, [2380.86] AndyRC: but all of the settings are done through the on-screen display. [2383.66] AndyRC: They aren't done through... [2387.34] AndyRC: As far as I'm aware, they aren't done through an interface. [2391.74] AndyRC: But there's been some problems with it, apparently. [2393.98] AndyRC: It's got an auto-turtle mode, and apparently that's causing the ESCs to catch fire. [2399.9] AndyRC: So they're switching to beta flight. [2402.62] AndyRC: So, yeah, I got it. [2404.14] Curry: Can I just do a Tony impression? [2405.58] Curry: Falco, that was a character from Star Fox, wasn't it? [2409.02] Curry: It's like something irrelevant. [2411.42] Tony: Right, Falcor's from NeverEnd in Story. [2414.62] AndyRC: No, I'm just going to say, yeah, it's self-set up, you know? [2418.78] AndyRC: It'd be an interesting thing. [2420.7] AndyRC: I kind of want to try the flight... [2424.22] AndyRC: Is it called Flight 1? [2425.42] AndyRC: And then Falco X is the firmware. [2431.1] AndyRC: I want to try it, but they're saying they're moving to beta flight with it [2433.82] AndyRC: because their ESCs keep catching fire. [2435.9] AndyRC: And with it being like an indoor model as well, [2438.54] AndyRC: you don't want your carpet on fire, do you? [2442.22] Curry: It's a kitchen fly, this one, just in case. [2444.86] AndyRC: Yeah, maybe. [2445.98] AndyRC: But I could fly it outside if we get some decent weather [2448.94] AndyRC: and then see what that's like. [2450.22] AndyRC: But they're saying they've had that many ESC issues [2453.1] AndyRC: that they're switching to beta flight anyway, [2455.02] AndyRC: so that makes it kind of pointy. [2457.82] Tony: All I want to do is buy the 360Go Insta360Go 20-gram camera [2464.22] Tony: with really good... [2469.34] Tony: What do we call it, innit? [2471.02] Tony: Stabilization. [2471.9] Tony: Stabilization, thank you. [2473.9] Tony: Looks really good, and it's 20 grams and tiny, [2477.1] Tony: but it's 180 quid, and I'm trying to save money at the money. [2480.94] Frank: Doing some targeted advertising, haven't they? [2483.18] Frank: I've seen, like, this is perfect for FPV. [2488.38] Tony: I saw it a couple of months ago, and I was like, [2491.34] Tony: I'm going to put this on something tiny, [2493.9] Tony: and it'll be fun to fly around the house and stuff on the outside. [2498.86] Tony: Stabilization looks pretty good. [2500.38] Tony: It doesn't have a limited runtime. [2501.98] Tony: Five minutes. [2502.78] Tony: Yeah, it's not very limited. [2503.82] Tony: It was 30 seconds, but they've put it up to five minutes now. [2507.18] Tony: To be fair, it's not enough as long as the battery, is it? [2509.9] Tony: It's not quite, yeah. [2511.58] Frank: I've had it with, like, 60 seconds, [2513.02] Frank: but maybe, yeah, maybe it's not good. [2514.78] Tony: They've changed something, and it's five minutes now. [2518.54] AndyRC: What resolution is it? [2519.74] AndyRC: Because it looks like it's going to be small. [2521.58] Tony: I think it's 108060. [2523.58] AndyRC: Yeah, that's not enough for 360. [2526.06] AndyRC: I don't know. [2526.46] Frank: No, no, it's not a 360 camera. [2528.38] AndyRC: Oh, it's not a 360. What is it, then? [2530.22] Frank: Nice. The Insta360 Go is just a little action camera, [2534.7] Frank: but it's basically, like, if you took the Insta360 One X [2538.38] Frank: and, like, chopped it in half so that you only had one camera, [2543.02] Frank: and then you used that, and it just used that wide field of view [2547.74] Frank: but cropped it down so that you got a 1080p stabilized footage. [2553.5] Frank: That's kind of what it's all about. [2556.38] Tony: Yeah. [2557.66] Tony: Well, it's 180 quid, and I'm trying to save money. [2561.42] Curry: That's practically a set of props. [2564.38] Curry: Those Tony things that are very loud. [2566.62] Curry: I thought maybe you were taking a piss [2570.14] Curry: when you said it's, like, 620 grams, [2572.62] Curry: which is exactly what this came out to [2574.3] Curry: when I stuck a battery on it. [2575.82] Curry: It's like, is that really going to take off? [2578.3] Curry: I have to wait till, like, the rest of my family is away somehow. [2582.94] Curry: I can even hover it in the garden, [2584.86] Curry: and all my neighbors have, like, moved out or something. [2587.18] Tony: They're good at doing their jobs. [2588.62] Tony: I can't even imagine it. [2591.26] Tony: Well, I went out for a bike ride and took the quad [2593.9] Tony: and flew through the bluebells the other day [2595.74] Tony: and got some really good shots of it. [2597.9] Tony: Flew it up a stream and flew some bluebells and stuff. [2603.58] Curry: I like what they do. [2605.34] Curry: I look forward to flying it. [2606.54] Curry: It's kind of interesting because when I got it out [2609.66] Curry: before I put, like, the GoPro on it, which weighs a ton, [2612.62] Curry: because this is foam, it's not as heavy as I thought. [2615.98] Curry: And then you put the stuff on it and you're like, [2617.42] Curry: Jesus Christ, it is literally a pig. [2620.14] Curry: It's going to be a flying brick, isn't it? [2622.22] Curry: But it'd be interesting. [2623.98] AndyRC: Don't worry. [2624.54] AndyRC: It compensates with in power and noise. [2629.9] Curry: But you're right. [2630.38] Curry: The weather's been so bad because I flew a quad I reviewed, [2635.02] Curry: which I've already forgotten, the Sector 1 Frito. [2636.62] Curry: I think I did that on Friday. [2638.14] Curry: And I basically went around the garden and in the house [2641.02] Curry: because it wasn't too big. [2642.38] Curry: But then, today, I managed to get out for two minutes [2646.94] Curry: to do a GPS test, which is the extent of my testing for part one. [2650.46] Jack: I kept doing it in the middle of my road in my pyjamas, [2654.14] Jack: my GPS testing and my neighbors. [2656.94] Curry: I got dressed especially just to go outside [2659.26] Curry: because I was, like, being filmed. [2661.18] Curry: Otherwise, the HGLRC are sort of doing stand-alone GPS's [2667.58] Curry: and GPS with compasses as well. [2669.9] Tony: I was putting a HGLRC group today. [2673.9] Tony: I was like, what's going on in here? [2676.06] Tony: I don't know. [2676.54] Tony: There's loads of pilots in there. [2680.86] Frank: It was on Saturday, wasn't it? [2682.78] Frank: There was a winter blues stream. [2686.06] Frank: Ice stream? [2686.78] Jack: Yeah, with... [2689.58] AndyRC: Syncfb. [2690.86] Jack: Yeah, sync, that's it. [2691.9] Jack: Yeah. For a minute, then, I keep thinking of the bathroom sink [2696.06] Jack: or the kitchen sink, not, like, stink-on-luma, you know? [2702.14] Jack: Oh, my gosh. [2704.06] Jack: I'm going mad. [2705.58] Tony: I popped in and said, like, I'm on the stream. [2707.9] Tony: Yeah, I missed you guys. [2709.1] Frank: I had it on the background, but I was busy with it. [2712.7] Frank: I didn't say anything in the chat, so I was just lurking. [2716.46] Curry: Raciously, he hadn't heard of LDO before. [2719.26] Tony: I know. That's why... [2720.3] Tony: You're going to set her off. [2721.26] Tony: Exactly when I left. [2722.22] Jack: Yeah, totally. I was like, I'm done. [2725.34] Jack: I was like, open the chat. [2726.7] Jack: I was like, don't listen to it. [2727.66] Curry: It's a load of ****. [2732.54] Curry: That's how Spokesman put an ad line out there. [2735.26] Curry: Yeah. [2735.66] Curry: I listened to it. [2736.22] AndyRC: I think it's hard to talk about his background and stuff. [2740.22] AndyRC: Sounds quite interesting. [2741.5] AndyRC: He's a game developer, so... [2743.34] Jack: Yeah, and he's got RT misses as well. [2747.26] Jack: So... [2747.74] Jack: You all go there when you do that. [2749.82] Jack: You can also draw off. [2752.54] Jack: Well, yeah. [2753.34] Jack: I was like, draw a different artist to Drew. [2756.78] AndyRC: Drew? [2759.82] AndyRC: Very good. [2760.3] AndyRC: I don't know what they meant to do that, or it was a mistake, [2762.22] AndyRC: but either way, it was funny. [2764.54] Jack: I know. I just gave the hassle. [2766.3] Jack: Also, Sync FPV has got the coolest hair ever. [2769.9] Jack: I mean, look how cool his hair is. [2771.9] Jack: What color? It's like grime. [2773.42] Tony: Yeah, he's got a silver back. [2775.82] Tony: Is he like... [2776.3] Jack: He's got a silver... [2778.22] Tony: Should we call him Scofield? [2779.9] AndyRC: Scofield. [2780.54] AndyRC: So I missed Scofield. [2783.18] AndyRC: Look at him. [2783.66] Jack: Look at the beard hair and the rubbing. [2786.86] Jack: And also, I don't know what preamps he's using, [2789.1] Jack: but he sounds good. [2791.34] Frank: Do you want to call us out then, Jack? [2794.22] Jack: You've been listening to Thursday Night. [2797.9] Jack: What's it called again? [2799.98] Tony: What are we doing? [2800.78] Tony: Oh, what is it called, Jack? [2802.54] Tony: That's because no one's flown for like weeks. [2805.5] Frank: It's a soft left hand corner, just so you know. [2808.62] Frank: Oh, really? [2810.06] Jack: Where am I? What am I doing? [2812.3] Frank: It says it in both the top left hand corner for us [2814.78] Frank: and the top right hand corner for everyone watching as well. [2818.78] Jack: I've got Steve Gadlin's squad, [2820.78] Jack: so you might be able to get the build videos. [2823.82] Jack: Hello. You've been watching and listening too. [2828.46] Jack: Let's drone out. [2829.98] Jack: Yay! [2832.06] Jack: Tonight, there's been hosts and people on the show have been. [2837.5] Jack: Curry Kitten. [2839.02] Jack: Goodbye. [2840.78] Jack: Everyone's favourite liability Andy RC. [2843.58] Jack: Good evening. [2845.42] Jack: My little Tony. [2846.94] Jack: How do. [2848.94] Jack: And I must say, I much prefer that Andy RC's not saying how do anymore. [2855.5] Jack: And everyone's favourite virtual Mini Air Show organiser, Andrew Stashrang. [2861.02] Frank: Join us on the 16th at minearshow.co.uk. [2864.22] Frank: Bye. [2865.66] Jack: And I've been bright until I fly. [2868.54] Jack: Thank you guys and good night. [2870.7] AndyRC: Telemetry lost. [2874.11] UNKNOWN: Thumbs up, please.
