It doesn't fly itself to a little whoop [138.22] Jack: And now, what are you? Because I don't recognise you [143.22] Jack: I don't know who you are [145.22] Koel: Yeah [146.22] Koel: Well, I do remember that time you gave me the transmitter [149.22] Koel: Like yeah, just try out this little tiny whoop in the house [152.22] Koel: And I couldn't even get it to hover [155.22] Koel: It was just flipping out everywhere [157.22] Koel: Pardon my French there [158.22] Koel: But dude, I was so scared of those [162.22] Koel: I was like, I'm never flying those things again [165.22] Koel: Yeah, that was crazy [168.22] MULTIPLE: Now you're jet-sitting [170.22] MULTIPLE: And flying all over the place [172.22] MULTIPLE: You're jet-sitting and flying all over the place [174.22] MULTIPLE: Long range [175.22] Stephen: Long range, shall we say [177.22] Stephen: But certainly not just proximity [179.22] Stephen: Definitely got me on that [181.22] Koel: Yeah, well, I don't know, man, it's crazy [184.22] Koel: Like with the Mavics originally [186.22] Koel: It's like, you know, you can trust them to go out a reasonable distance [190.22] Koel: But with like a 5-inch freestyle quad without a GPS [193.22] Koel: And without any of the sort of safety things [196.22] Koel: You don't really want to send it out too far [198.22] Koel: Because, you know, likely chance you're not getting it back [201.22] Koel: If something goes wrong, right? [202.22] Koel: So, yeah, I don't know, man [204.22] Koel: It was like, if I have a crazy place that I can go out and fly [208.22] Koel: That has the scenery to do so [210.22] Koel: I'd probably like to send it out a little further than, you know, 20 meters [214.22] Koel: Or 100 meters at most [216.22] Koel: But it's been pretty, it was pretty cool flying out there [222.04] Koel: Actually, probably be able to show you guys in the clips [226.29] Koel: I've actually put out two videos since being back [229.29] Koel: And, yeah, pretty crazy place to be flying, man [233.29] Koel: I'll tell you that much, like basically the jungle [236.29] Koel: And, yeah, I don't know [239.29] Koel: I actually don't really have words for it [241.29] Koel: Like, I'm still in awe that I got to fly these places [244.29] Koel: Like, it's pretty unbelievable [247.29] MULTIPLE: Cool, cool, cool [248.29] MULTIPLE: That's fantastic [249.29] MULTIPLE: Maybe you can show us a couple [250.29] Koel: Yeah, for sure [251.29] MULTIPLE: Show us a bit [252.29] Koel: I'm trying to think, so [253.29] Koel: What can I show first? [255.29] Koel: I guess we can do a little playback from the couple videos that I put out so far [261.29] Koel: Let me see if I can just pull them up here [264.29] Jack: What I'll suggest is if Cole posts the links to what he's been playing [273.29] Jack: In the description after the show [277.29] Jack: And then anyone listening to this [282.29] Jack: And, you know, we'll try and get Cole to describe everything that's happening [288.29] Stephen: But then if you want to get the links in the chat as well [291.29] Jack: Yeah [292.29] Stephen: Cole, I don't know if anyone else is hearing this, but I've got a bit of static and crackling off your mic when you're talking [297.29] MULTIPLE: Oh, do you? [298.29] MULTIPLE: I think it's Jack cutting something [300.29] Stephen: Is it Jack? [301.29] Stephen: I think it's... [302.29] Stephen: There's some sizzle coming through [304.29] Stephen: And there's a little bit of a crunchiness [307.29] Koel: Maybe mine's a little bit too loud [309.29] Koel: I could turn it down a little bit [311.29] Stephen: You're okay now [312.29] Stephen: I just sounded a little bit like... [314.29] Stephen: I was getting a little bit of that through [317.29] Jack: Oh, buying contact cleaner and... [319.29] Jack: You could buy deoxy [321.29] Jack: I think you can, because you're North America [326.29] Stephen: It's back from Taiwan [327.29] Stephen: He's probably got a suitcase of stuff that we can't buy over here [332.29] Koel: Yeah, you know what? [333.29] Koel: The main things I wish I could have brought back was actually food [336.29] Koel: Like, the food over there is unbelievable, man [340.29] Koel: Like, you're getting fresh vegetables out of the garden every day [345.29] Koel: Especially if you're up in the mountains and stuff [347.29] Koel: It's like, you see the big garden [349.29] Koel: It's like a vegetable garden half the size of a soccer field almost [353.29] Koel: Well, maybe that's an exaggeration [354.29] Koel: Just a few cabbages, just in case [356.29] Koel: Just a couple, yeah, right? [358.29] Koel: Don't have to go to the grocery store for that [361.29] Koel: Do they have monkeys? [362.29] Koel: Oh, man, do they have monkeys [364.29] Koel: They have baboons [366.29] Koel: And... [367.29] Koel: Well, let's just say this [369.29] Koel: Monkeys are amazing [370.29] Koel: I will say this [373.29] Koel: I call them the natural baboons [375.29] Koel: Or, like, the natural monkeys that are in nature [378.29] Koel: They're super cool, man [379.29] Koel: They do their own thing [380.29] Koel: They stay away from you [381.29] Koel: They, you know, they might be a little curious [384.29] Koel: But they're not really coming up to you [386.29] Koel: Whereas, basically, like I say, there's natural monkeys [390.29] Koel: And then there's crackhead monkeys [392.29] Koel: The crackhead monkeys are like the monkeys that hang out [396.29] Koel: Think of crackheads in a city [398.29] Koel: They hang out by the convenience stores on the corner [401.29] Stephen: And they're begging for processed sugar [403.29] Koel: Yeah, trying to, you know, grab things from your hands [406.29] Koel: You know, no questions asked [407.29] Koel: They just jump on you [410.29] Koel: Yeah, so I don't mind the natural monkeys [412.29] Koel: But the crackhead monkeys, they need to get the F away from us [415.29] Koel: Because two of them actually jumped at my girlfriend [418.29] Koel: And I was, like, actually almost ready to fight two monkeys [420.29] Koel: It was crazy [422.29] Koel: It was... [424.29] Koel: I mean, yeah [425.29] Jack: Sounds like me and Tony [426.29] Jack: Same species, but different attributes [431.29] Jack: I'm definitely way more crackhead than you are [433.29] Stephen: I'm talking about the conditioning, man [435.29] Stephen: It's about, like, nurture, isn't it? [437.29] Koel: Nature versus nurture [439.29] Koel: Totally [440.29] Koel: But yeah, I mean, I actually got to... [442.29] Koel: I was... [443.29] Koel: So in the countryside at Grandpa's place [446.29] Koel: He actually has monkeys just in the backyard [449.29] Koel: Like, they're up in the trees [450.29] Koel: And there's one baboon that's actually banished from, like, the pack [455.29] Koel: He's, like, a lone... [457.29] Koel: He's like a lone baboon [459.29] Koel: He kind of just hangs out by himself [461.29] Koel: And I actually was able to get probably within, like, 10 meters of him [466.29] Koel: Like, he was really close to me [468.29] Koel: Not even 10 meters, maybe 5 meters [470.29] Koel: And I got to get some really cool photos of him, actually [473.29] Koel: He was almost, like, posing for me [475.29] Koel: He kept, like, changing his pose [476.29] Koel: And I'm, like, snub [478.29] Koel: He was, like, my little model, actually [479.29] Koel: It was really hilarious [480.29] Koel: Have you seen their teeth? [482.29] Koel: Oh, their teeth could really mess you up [485.29] MULTIPLE: Really mess you up [487.29] MULTIPLE: They're quite strong [488.29] MULTIPLE: Did you see that monkey rip that woman's face off? [492.29] Stephen: Yeah, yeah [493.29] Stephen: Ripped her face off [494.29] Stephen: I'm, like, Hannibal Lecter style [497.29] Koel: Pretty much, yeah [498.29] Koel: Well, the crazy thing about the ones at Grandpa's place out there was [503.29] Koel: It was, like, chilling just in, like, the low tree area [507.29] Koel: Just beyond where the garden is [509.29] Koel: And I might try to get a little bit closer [512.29] Koel: But then he starts trying to get a little closer to me [514.29] Koel: And he's kind of, like, squaring up [516.29] Koel: Like, he's trying to show down [517.29] Koel: So then I'm having to stand a little taller [519.29] Koel: And, like, puff my chest out [520.29] Koel: And, like, I hope he doesn't come any closer [523.29] Koel: Like, oh, man [525.29] Koel: Yeah, it was interesting [526.29] Koel: But, yeah, just, like, AudioGek says [529.29] Koel: Yeah, not going anywhere near wild monkeys [531.29] Koel: Crackhead or not [532.29] Koel: Too much YouTube videos, yeah [534.29] Koel: Yeah, it was my first experience that close to a monkey [537.29] Koel: I'll just put it there [538.29] Koel: And I don't know [540.29] Koel: Like I said, there's good monkeys [542.29] Koel: There's bad monkeys [543.29] Koel: Just, like, you know [546.29] Koel: It's true now [549.29] Koel: Let's throw it out, members [550.29] Koel: No, I'm just kidding [552.29] Koel: But, yeah, so I guess back to the [555.29] Stephen: So on the flying, because, like, there was no flying around monkeys [558.29] Stephen: Because that would be, that would be dangerous [561.29] Stephen: Especially, you had, like, a long-range seven-inch [563.29] Stephen: Just reminders of your build [565.29] Stephen: You were, like, opening up this brand-new build [567.29] Stephen: Weren't you? [568.29] Koel: Yeah, yeah, so it's a rad lion [571.29] Koel: If you guys know who Falconrad is [573.29] Koel: A Canadian long-range guy [575.29] Koel: He makes a frame called the Rad Lion [577.29] Koel: It's a seven-inch quad [579.29] Koel: So, basically, that frame, actually, I got [582.29] Koel: It was almost like a, it wasn't a hand-me-down [584.29] Koel: It was, like, a pass-me-down [586.29] Koel: From a friend of Falconrad's [588.29] Koel: Who's a friend of mine [590.29] Koel: And, so, I guess Falconrad gave him the frame [594.29] Koel: He ended up giving me the frame [596.29] Koel: And, so, basically, it's actually, the frame that I have [600.29] Koel: Is actually, like, a beta version [602.29] Koel: It was an earlier version of the frame, so [604.29] Koel: But, yeah, it's an awesome frame [606.29] Koel: It's meant for lithium-ion packs [608.29] Koel: Like, it's kind of made for that [609.29] Koel: But you can definitely strap a lipo on there [612.29] Koel: Just not too long of a lipo [614.29] Stephen: Yeah, I was running short lipos, specifically [617.29] Stephen: Because you were looking, you had, like, a hundred mil, right? [620.29] Stephen: 10 centimeters, 11 centimeters [622.29] Koel: Well, you know what, I was actually, I measured it wrong [625.29] Koel: I was measuring it from the first, or the second set of bolts [628.29] Koel: On the top plate [629.29] Koel: When, really, the GoPro mount is actually further up [632.29] Koel: So, I actually had about another centimeter [634.29] Koel: And a half, or so, to play with [636.29] Koel: So, I could check, like, if it's, like, 12 centimeters [639.29] Koel: That might be, like, the tops, I'd say [642.29] Koel: But, so, yeah, so it's a Radlion 7-inch [644.29] Koel: Running KISS Ultra V2 [647.29] Koel: T-motor F55 ESC [651.29] Koel: It's the V2 version [653.29] Koel: T-motor [655.29] Koel: What are they, the F90 [658.29] Koel: 1,300 KV motors [660.29] Koel: I think that's, like, 2806.5s [664.29] Koel: Rush Solo tank on the VTX [669.29] Koel: What else? [670.29] Koel: I saw we were running a Diversity Crossfire [672.29] Koel: So, Bard Pole Antenna and Mortal T [675.29] Koel: And GoPro Hero 11 Mini [678.29] Koel: What else? [679.29] Koel: I think that's everything that goes in the quad [681.29] Stephen: What battery do you end up flying it with? [683.29] Koel: Ah, so, actually, if you guys ever watch [688.29] Koel: What is his name? [689.29] Koel: The guy who does all the super in-depth review stuff [694.29] Koel: He also makes, Chris Rosser, Chris Rosser [698.29] Koel: So, he calls them Gold Line batteries [702.29] Koel: And I've always called them O-Line [704.29] Koel: But I didn't do the math on it, realizing [707.29] Koel: AU is the periodic, whatever, symbol for gold [711.29] Koel: So, every time he's talking about these batteries, I'm like [714.29] Koel: Why are you calling them Gold Line? It's A-U-L-I-N-E [717.29] Koel: But, I figured it out [719.29] Koel: But, yeah, so, basically, I was flying these O-Line [722.29] Koel: 4000 mAh packs [725.29] Koel: 6S [727.29] Koel: They're rated to 45A constant [729.29] Koel: So, they're actually one of the higher rated lithium ion packs you can get [734.29] Koel: I don't know exactly what cells are inside them [737.29] Koel: I'm sure it's listed, but, yeah [740.29] Koel: I mean, as far as I know, my little knowledge here [743.29] Koel: They're pretty good, they worked for me [746.29] Stephen: How do they feel compared to your freestyle quad? [750.29] Koel: Well, I don't know how it feels compared to my freestyle quad [753.29] Koel: But I know how my freestyle quad feels compared to it [757.29] Koel: Because I was flying long range, mainly [760.29] Koel: I was flying my 7-inch, mainly, right? [762.29] Koel: And then, when I went to go fly my 5-inch freestyle quad [764.29] Koel: I was like, dude, I'm going so fast [767.29] Koel: And my rates are crazy [769.29] Koel: I got to relearn how to fly this again [771.29] Koel: And it was almost, like, kind of scary, to be honest [773.29] Koel: Like, the 7-inch quad is, like, super chill [775.29] Koel: Go for, like, some nice cruising [777.29] Koel: And, like, you know, with a lithium ion pack [780.29] Koel: You're not running crazy amps through it, right? [783.29] Koel: So, you're not trying to pull crazy amps, I should say [788.29] Stephen: You didn't have to force yourself to slow down [790.29] Stephen: So, I imagine I'd be tempted and be like, let's just run and bunch [794.29] Stephen: You didn't have any of those objects [796.29] Stephen: You had to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa [798.29] Stephen: Well, look, my voltage is at 2. something now [801.29] Koel: Well, here's the weird thing [805.29] Koel: I had a few, I actually had some really scary [809.29] Koel: My first test flight out there, I had a really scary experience [813.29] Koel: A couple of really scary experiences, actually [816.29] Koel: And it could have been so fatal that I wouldn't have had a quad to fly the rest of the trip [821.29] Koel: So, I guess I'll start with that [823.29] Koel: So, the day we go out, the day before we're going out to the countryside [827.29] Koel: I go to my known sort of, like, home-based spot that I can fly and do some testing [831.29] Koel: Because, basically, I wanted to just test my return to home [834.29] Koel: Make sure everything's good [835.29] Koel: Because I hadn't even set up return to home before I went out there [839.29] Koel: It was my first time doing all that [841.29] Jack: But you never tried testing it, did you? [844.29] Koel: Well, yeah, I had it set up, but I didn't do any testing [846.29] Koel: That's right, you're right, Jack [847.29] Stephen: I mean, that's what they tell you, right? [848.29] Stephen: Like, when you build a long-range quad with GPS, don't test it [851.29] Stephen: Because it takes all the fun out of it [853.29] Stephen: And just before I got bored on the day, nothing interesting happened [857.29] Stephen: The excitement's gone [860.29] Jack: We're listening to this [861.29] Jack: Do the opposite of what Stephen just said [864.29] Koel: Yeah, yeah [865.29] Koel: But, so, basically, so I go out to the spot [868.29] Koel: It was, like, just before, like, a little bit before sunset [871.29] Koel: Like, maybe an hour before sunset [873.29] Koel: So, I'm like, okay, I got plenty of time [875.29] Koel: I got two batteries [876.29] Koel: I just wanted to test return to home and just see it come back to me [878.29] Koel: That's all I wanted to do [881.29] Koel: So, I set some values in the kiss gooey [883.29] Koel: And I set it up to how I thought it would be fine [888.29] Koel: But this was the weirdest thing [890.29] Koel: So, actually, should I embarrass myself here? [895.54] Koel: Maybe I'll embarrass myself a little bit, okay [897.54] Koel: That's fine, yeah [899.54] Koel: So, basically, I fly old-school stuff [903.54] Koel: Because it's kind of what I was taught from Jack, I guess [906.54] Koel: Everyone keeps telling me, oh, it's old-school, it's old-school [908.54] Koel: Yeah, so I fly idle up [911.54] Koel: Or, that's what it is, right? Idle up, right, Jack? [914.54] Koel: Yeah [915.54] Koel: So, I was basically, like, you know [919.54] Koel: I set my quad up for idle up [921.54] Koel: And I was then told on the internet [924.54] Koel: By, you know, anybody who was on the internet [926.54] Koel: Like, what are you doing flying idle up? [928.54] Koel: And the idle up value needs to be higher [930.54] Koel: It's already a seven-inch quad, so, whatever [932.54] Koel: So, I was like, okay, **** it [934.54] Koel: I put my idle up just a little bit higher [937.54] Koel: So, instead of it being, like, 10.60 or 10.70 [940.54] Koel: I put it to 10.80 or whatever [942.54] Koel: On the throttle thing [944.54] Koel: Well, little did I forget how I set things up in my radio [947.54] Koel: So, I go to do my test flight [951.54] Koel: And I'm like, okay, cool, it's flying great [953.54] Koel: Go to do a flip [954.54] Koel: My quad, like, dead ducks [957.54] Koel: And, like, it's just going to follow the sky [959.54] Koel: And then, because when the throttle goes to zero [961.54] Koel: There's no freaking pit loop, right? [963.54] Koel: So, I made a serious mistake there [966.54] Koel: It was, like, ridiculous [968.54] Stephen: It's called potato mode [970.54] Stephen: We're not flying multi-way anymore, you guys [973.54] Stephen: Just quit screwing with idle up [975.54] Stephen: It's, like, trying to go everywhere on one leg [978.54] Stephen: Just because you feel like it [980.54] Stephen: It's, like, hopping like a walk [982.54] Jack: You've got to, like, not to make excuses, right? [986.54] Jack: Stephen, I value your opinion [988.54] Jack: You're a very smart guy [989.54] Jack: But what it was [992.54] Jack: Is Cole was [995.54] Jack: You know when you first start flying FPV [998.54] Jack: You're the only person [999.54] Jack: You're the only FPV-er in the village, aren't you? [1002.54] Jack: Right? [1003.54] Jack: And the thing is [1005.54] Jack: Is that Cole's out there [1007.54] Jack: And you don't know what influence he's going to get out there [1011.54] Jack: Or the people that are going to meet [1012.54] Jack: And I'm remotely trying to teach him everything that I know [1016.54] Jack: And the whole idea of it is [1018.54] Jack: Is I learned it [1020.54] Jack: And the incident that springs to mind [1022.54] Jack: Is when Tony said [1024.54] Jack: Flip my board 180 degrees [1028.54] Jack: And I was, like, that's not going to work [1029.54] Jack: Because my gyro is broken [1031.54] Jack: But it's the ability to take your settings from your own quad [1036.54] Jack: And then put it onto someone else's [1038.54] Jack: To know it will work [1040.54] Jack: So it meant that Cole could play around [1042.54] Jack: Fiddle with stuff and learn [1044.54] Jack: And if he couldn't get back to it [1046.54] Jack: He could then just take my settings [1049.54] Jack: And in my defense, Cole [1052.54] Jack: I did warn you about it [1054.54] Jack: I said, I use idolarp [1055.54] Jack: It's a bit long-winded [1057.54] Jack: Like, not many people use it [1059.54] Jack: And I did give the four warnings [1061.54] Jack: But we both agreed [1063.54] Jack: We both agreed [1064.54] Jack: That he was like [1066.54] Jack: This is a joke [1067.54] Jack: If it works [1068.54] Stephen: This is like the latest in the joke saga [1070.54] Stephen: That is Jack's kind of less knee of idolarp excuses [1075.54] Stephen: And I don't expect it to be rational [1077.54] Stephen: I'm not even really condemning you at this point [1080.54] Stephen: It's just like [1081.54] Stephen: Here's this weird thing that you do [1083.54] Stephen: And once again, it's caused this whole [1085.54] Stephen: Like, drama [1087.54] Koel: It didn't cause it [1088.54] Koel: It wasn't his [1090.54] Koel: I will defend Jack [1091.54] Koel: It wasn't him that caused the drama [1093.54] Koel: It was me changing a value [1095.54] Koel: And doing something stupid [1096.54] Koel: Without even thinking [1098.54] Koel: But I don't know, it's weird [1099.54] Koel: Because everyone talks so much about idolarp [1102.54] Koel: But, like, my quad's alone [1104.54] Koel: And everyone's fine [1106.54] Koel: And I can do my pre-arm [1109.54] Koel: And, you know [1110.54] Stephen: It's just kind of not needed [1111.54] Stephen: It's like [1112.54] Stephen: Do you ever remember having a really basic car [1114.54] Stephen: When you had to, like, pull the cluck [1116.54] Stephen: You had to pull the whatever out [1118.54] Stephen: To, like, choke out [1120.54] Stephen: To get the engine richer [1122.54] Stephen: And everyone's like, oh, I'm going to need that [1124.54] Stephen: Because I need to be able to start my car properly [1126.54] Stephen: And people would, like, complain and say [1128.54] Stephen: Oh, yeah, I've got to have that [1130.54] Stephen: When I manually choke [1131.54] Stephen: Because otherwise it's not going to work [1132.54] Stephen: And that's just kind of [1133.54] Stephen: No, not to any fault [1135.54] Koel: So, as someone who's completely ignorant then [1137.54] Koel: Can someone just completely lay it out straight [1139.54] Koel: Like, what is the best and newest thing [1143.54] Koel: For arming your quad? [1146.54] Jack: Air mode [1147.54] Koel: Not that [1148.54] Koel: Air mode, yeah, air mode [1150.54] Jack: Which [1151.54] Jack: You are specifically [1152.54] Stephen: More specifically [1153.54] Stephen: Like a smart air mode [1155.54] Stephen: Air mode comes in [1156.54] Stephen: When you go over a certain throttle percentage [1158.54] Stephen: So it doesn't start [1160.54] Stephen: Going crazy on the ground [1161.54] Stephen: But most implementations [1162.54] Stephen: So, like, air mode is going to cut in [1164.54] Stephen: When you're over 10% throttle for a couple of seconds [1167.54] Stephen: And then you're in air mode [1169.54] Koel: Isn't that basically the same thing as idle up, though? [1171.54] Koel: You flick a switch and then [1172.54] Koel: You don't need to do it on the radio [1174.54] Stephen: The quad just does it [1175.54] Stephen: The quad [1176.54] Koel: Oh, true, true [1177.54] Koel: Yeah [1178.54] Stephen: So your radio is just simple [1180.54] Koel: Just leave it up to the flight controller [1182.54] Koel: Yeah, you don't need a switch [1184.54] Koel: Yeah, okay, okay [1186.54] Koel: You just have, like, an arm switch [1187.54] Koel: And then you take off [1188.54] Koel: Good to go [1189.54] Koel: Yeah, okay, okay [1190.54] Koel: Yeah [1191.54] Jack: The, like, the weird thing is [1194.54] Jack: Is, like, back in the day [1196.54] Jack: There used to be this thing where [1198.54] Jack: If you were flying, beat your flight [1199.54] Jack: You'd come in [1200.54] Jack: And you'd go to land on the ground [1202.54] Jack: And the quad would bounce [1203.54] Jack: And you would then get sort of, like, an erroneous [1206.54] Jack: If you come in, landed really hard [1209.54] Jack: There used to be this thing [1211.54] Jack: Where the PID loop would do the sort of spin [1214.54] Jack: Like, fight to recover [1217.54] Jack: Which [1218.54] Jack: Could be dangerous [1220.54] Jack: Start from the olden days [1222.54] Jack: When me and Tony were first flying [1224.54] Jack: When you were racing, if you clipped a gate [1227.54] Jack: Your quad [1228.54] Jack: You just used to disarm [1229.54] Jack: Because there was never any way of recovering [1232.54] Stephen: Because it was just going [1233.54] Stephen: And it was off [1234.54] Jack: Yeah [1235.54] Jack: And then when Boris, like, basically [1239.54] Jack: Started forking the code [1240.54] Jack: And then added a notch filter [1242.54] Jack: Then quads became really a lot easier to fly [1247.54] Jack: And then we started noticing [1248.54] Jack: You'd clip a gate [1249.54] Jack: Your quad would spin for a bit [1251.54] Jack: But then it would stay in the air [1252.54] Jack: And settle out [1253.54] Jack: And it's that [1255.54] Jack: That initial, like, filtering [1257.54] Jack: But now the filtering's so good [1259.54] Jack: That, you know, when KISS first come out [1262.54] Jack: That was the noticeable thing [1263.54] Jack: You would have air mode on [1265.54] Jack: You'd come into land [1266.54] Jack: And it would just land flat [1268.54] Jack: And just go, like that [1269.54] Jack: And not bounce [1271.54] Jack: With beat your flight [1272.54] Jack: It's hard [1273.54] Jack: Sorry, I know, if you're listening to this on ordinary [1275.54] Jack: You get the little bunny hops there [1279.54] Stephen: Yeah [1280.54] Stephen: And that's been solved as well [1282.54] Stephen: But, yeah, there's those issues of what you're fighting [1285.54] Stephen: There's something called, like, easy landing now [1288.54] Stephen: Which just, like, does a suspiciously smooth settle [1292.54] Jack: Yeah [1293.54] Jack: That's cool [1294.54] Jack: And then you never used to have stuff like soft start motors [1298.54] Jack: So you'd arm [1300.54] Jack: And then if you happen to be on a bit of toughness [1304.54] Jack: Or a bit of tough to grasp that your motor can overcome [1308.54] Jack: It would jam it [1309.54] Jack: And basically your throttle would jam up [1312.54] Jack: And then, you know, we didn't have such beefy fets [1316.54] Jack: Or incredible as many caps [1319.54] Jack: And then you'd smoke in the FC after a while [1321.54] Jack: Which Tony, also, yeah [1324.54] Jack: And also you'd have stuff like [1326.54] Jack: It would damage the caps [1328.54] Jack: So then you'd be more susceptible to spikes [1331.54] Jack: And then randomly you'd do a punch out [1333.54] Jack: And then your VTX would fry for no reason [1337.54] Jack: And it turns out that some of your caps, you know [1340.54] Jack: You'd go with a multimeter and use continuity across them [1344.54] Jack: And then you'd find some of them had a direct short [1347.54] Jack: Because the tantalums had melted [1349.54] Stephen: Just because they got too hot, yeah [1351.54] Stephen: Yeah [1352.54] Jack: So, but you don't live in that world anymore [1356.54] Jack: You wouldn't need to [1357.54] Jack: There's people, you know, there's people that have helped with quads [1360.54] Jack: Who've come around mine [1361.54] Jack: And I do some stuff and I kind of know where to look [1364.54] Jack: It was like you, you were like [1366.54] Jack: Oh, my quads just won't lift off the ground [1368.54] Jack: And I'm like, it's low battery [1369.54] Jack: And you're like, how do you know that? [1371.54] Jack: And it's just stuff that you don't have to deal with anymore [1374.54] Jack: Because, you know, you'd literally plug it in [1377.54] Jack: And your quad now tells you like low battery [1380.54] Jack: Automatic telemetry [1382.54] Jack: Like that, like legacy of bullsh** [1385.54] Jack: Like moron threshold [1387.54] Jack: Like no one would know other than [1390.54] Jack: I mean, like ask Tony about the PID loop [1394.54] Jack: The, the [1397.54] Jack: Yeah, he made you argue [1399.54] Jack: Yeah [1401.54] Stephen: He's got these basic things [1403.54] Stephen: But they've all got [1404.54] Stephen: What you've got there is like a manual coping mechanism [1407.54] Stephen: And now all of those coping mechanisms used to have as workarounds [1410.54] Stephen: Those all got put into the code [1412.54] Stephen: So the code just does all those coping mechanisms [1415.54] Stephen: Now instead of you as an operator having to like [1418.54] Stephen: Remember to do this stuff together [1420.54] Koel: Yeah, yeah, yeah [1421.54] Koel: Okay, so back to my story, I guess [1423.54] Koel: So I'm, I'm doing all this stupid sh** [1425.54] Koel: I'm like, like why is my quad being so weird? [1428.54] Koel: So then, then I have a little [1431.54] Koel: Like all of a sudden I have a little thing in my brain [1434.54] Koel: Because I always take screenshots of my before changes [1437.54] Koel: And my after changes [1438.54] Koel: Or I save them, you know, kind of thing [1440.54] Jack: Wonder where you got that habit from [1442.54] Koel: Yeah [1444.54] Koel: So basically [1447.54] Koel: I knew I had a backup of my settings [1449.54] Koel: Or a screenshot [1450.54] Koel: And then I looked back and I was like, oh [1452.54] Koel: This is the one thing that is wrong [1454.54] Koel: So I change it, boom, quad's fine [1455.54] Koel: It's all good [1456.54] Koel: So then I'm like, okay, sweet [1457.54] Koel: Back to my return to home testing [1459.54] Koel: So it was like, I go out [1461.54] Koel: And all of a sudden my quad's flying like [1462.54] Koel: And I don't know what's going on [1463.54] Koel: So then I fix it [1464.54] Koel: Then I'm testing return to home [1465.54] Koel: And everything's fine [1467.54] Stephen: Are you testing return to home in the jungle at this point? [1470.54] Koel: No, no, no, no, no, no [1472.54] Koel: So basically [1475.54] Koel: Where I stay in the city [1476.54] Koel: Just outside of the city [1477.54] Koel: There's like [1478.54] Koel: Basically this like [1479.54] Koel: Almost like industrial tech area [1480.54] Koel: That has like a big open field [1482.54] Koel: That's like the middle of nowhere [1484.54] Koel: That's where I'm kind of doing my testing [1487.54] Koel: But okay [1488.54] Koel: So now I'm moving on to testing return to home [1491.54] Koel: I have my return to home throttle value set [1493.54] Koel: I have my, you know, how much it's going to go up [1496.54] Koel: Before it starts to come home, yada, yada [1499.54] Koel: So in my mind, I'm like, okay, well [1501.54] Koel: I'm flying lithium ion packs [1503.54] Koel: So I'm not going to have my return to home [1506.54] Koel: Throttle [1507.54] Koel: Value [1508.54] Koel: Whatever [1509.54] Koel: Too high [1510.54] Koel: Because these lithium ions can't take too much [1512.54] Koel: You know [1513.54] Koel: As far as amp draw [1514.54] Koel: So [1515.54] Koel: I found out [1516.54] Koel: Actually [1517.54] Koel: Thanks to Alexander Fedorov from Kiss Ultra [1520.54] Koel: That my setting was too low [1521.54] Koel: Because I would flick the switch, set return to home [1524.54] Koel: And first it's going to go up [1526.54] Koel: Well [1527.54] Koel: He's actually written it in the code [1528.54] Koel: That if it doesn't get to your set height [1531.54] Koel: Within [1532.54] Koel: Instead of either 10 or 20 seconds [1534.54] Koel: It goes balls to the wall [1535.54] Koel: And it's going to get to that height [1537.54] Koel: Well [1538.54] Koel: That started scaring the s*** out of me [1540.54] Koel: Because my throttle was too low [1542.54] Koel: And then this lithium ion pack's just going to the moon [1544.54] Koel: And I'm like, no, like it can't handle this much current [1547.54] Koel: And then I talked to him and he's like, yeah, dude [1550.54] Koel: Just like put the number a little higher [1552.54] Koel: It's going to get to that height quicker [1553.54] Koel: And it's not going to start going balls to the wall [1555.54] Koel: I was like, oh [1556.54] Koel: Well, beautiful, thank you [1557.54] Koel: There's [1558.54] Koel: Like [1559.54] Koel: If I would have known that [1560.54] Koel: I would have [1561.54] Koel: Put the number lower [1562.54] Koel: I'm like, oh, no, like what's going on? [1563.54] Koel: But really I had to put the number higher [1564.54] Koel: So yeah, I learned something [1566.54] Koel: And it wasn't from Joshua Bartwell [1568.54] Koel: Um [1569.54] Koel: But [1570.54] Koel: Or Jack [1571.54] Koel: I have it [1572.54] Jack: I have it [1573.54] Jack: It's like [1574.54] Jack: What is it, idle up [1577.54] Jack: The same idle up [1579.54] Koel: That's fine [1580.54] Koel: I still like idle up [1581.54] Koel: Yeah [1582.54] Koel: But [1583.54] Koel: So that [1584.54] Koel: So that's all good [1585.54] Koel: So my quad is not [1587.54] Koel: You know [1588.54] Koel: The pit loop is still activated [1589.54] Koel: When my throttle's down [1590.54] Koel: Good [1591.54] Koel: There's one thing solved [1592.54] Koel: Uh [1593.54] Koel: I've set the value of [1595.54] Koel: The ascending value for the return to home [1597.54] Koel: Whatever [1598.54] Koel: And now it's not just like burning out [1600.54] Koel: My lithium ion pack [1601.54] Koel: Great [1602.54] Koel: So [1603.54] Koel: Now I'm actually [1604.54] Koel: Just [1605.54] Koel: You know [1606.54] Koel: Doing some return to home tests [1607.54] Koel: All good, whatever [1608.54] Koel: Well, so [1609.54] Koel: If you guys have a tango two [1610.54] Koel: Basically [1611.54] Koel: Or if you know what a tango two [1612.54] Koel: Switches are set up [1613.54] Koel: Like it's like [1614.54] Koel: There's a three position switch on the left [1616.54] Koel: With a [1617.54] Koel: With a two position switch on the right [1619.54] Koel: Of the left hand side of the controller [1621.54] Koel: And then it's basically mirrored on the other side [1623.54] Koel: Well [1624.54] Koel: I'm a complete freaking idiot [1627.54] Koel: And [1628.54] Koel: In the middle of [1629.54] Koel: Uh [1630.54] Koel: In the middle of [1631.54] Koel: Return to home [1632.54] Koel: Like I [1633.54] Koel: Basically I went up [1634.54] Koel: I pressed return to home [1635.54] Koel: It's coming home [1636.54] Koel: Cool [1637.54] Koel: Like it's basically not too far away from me [1639.54] Koel: So I'm like okay [1640.54] Koel: It's working [1641.54] Koel: That's all I need [1642.54] Koel: I don't need it to land for me [1643.54] Koel: I just need it to come back to me [1644.54] Koel: If I lose video [1645.54] Koel: And then I get video again [1646.54] Koel: Well [1648.54] Koel: Still the old me [1649.54] Koel: I go to [1650.54] Koel: Flick off [1651.54] Koel: Return to home [1652.54] Koel: And [1653.54] Koel: Actually my brain is reversed [1654.54] Koel: And I fucking disarmed my quad [1655.54] Koel: From like a hundred meters up [1658.78] Koel: Yeah [1659.78] Koel: Yeah [1660.78] MULTIPLE: Scary [1661.78] MULTIPLE: Yeah [1662.78] MULTIPLE: Did you re-alb it in time?

[2265.78] Koel: Yeah well they're all indoors [2266.78] Koel: They're outdoors [2267.78] Koel: They're all [2268.78] Koel: It's all the same [2269.78] Stephen: Yeah [2270.78] Stephen: When you said these are the only outlets [2271.78] Stephen: I had I was like [2272.78] Stephen: What they only have plugs [2273.78] Koel: Outdoors? [2274.78] Koel: Oh the only type of outlet I should say [2275.78] Koel: Okay [2276.78] Koel: But luckily [2277.78] Koel: Uh [2278.78] Koel: The one uncle out there [2279.78] Koel: Had this adapter [2280.78] Koel: But like [2281.78] Koel: I didn't know that for like [2282.78] Koel: A couple hours [2283.78] Koel: And then he's like [2284.78] Koel: Oh yeah I have this [2285.78] Koel: I'm like [2286.78] Koel: Oh thank god [2287.78] Koel: Uh [2288.78] Koel: Because [2289.78] Koel: Or else I wouldn't have been [2290.78] Koel: Able to fly out there [2291.78] Koel: Uh [2292.78] Koel: So let's see [2293.78] Koel: So [2294.78] Koel: Alright [2295.78] Koel: So basically I go and I'm standing over [2296.78] Koel: By the vegetable garden [2297.78] Koel: It's like seven [2298.78] Koel: I think it was like [2299.78] Koel: 7.30 ish [2300.78] Koel: At this point [2301.78] Koel: And uh [2302.78] Koel: So I just take off [2303.78] Koel: But this is what I'm seeing [2304.78] Koel: It's like [2305.78] Koel: The fog's just kind of [2306.78] Koel: You know [2307.78] Koel: Really low in the sky [2309.78] Koel: And this is actually flying [2310.78] Koel: The opposite direction [2311.78] Koel: As I was in the previous video [2313.78] Koel: So the other way is up the hills [2315.78] Koel: And this is like [2316.78] Koel: Sort of in the valley [2317.78] Koel: Um [2319.78] Koel: So [2320.78] Koel: I'm just cruising [2321.78] Koel: You know [2322.78] Koel: Like I'm not doing anything crazy [2323.78] Koel: I'm just [2324.78] Koel: Like I'm just [2325.78] Koel: This is my first pack of the morning [2326.78] Koel: The next day [2327.78] Koel: So [2328.78] Koel: Um [2329.78] Koel: I'm actually just trying to see [2330.78] Koel: Where I can fly for the most part [2331.78] Koel: I'm just trying to figure out [2332.78] Koel: Where my flight paths are [2333.78] Koel: I'm trying to see where I have video [2335.78] Koel: Where's [2336.78] Koel: Like [2337.78] Koel: Um [2338.78] Koel: Just trying to figure out [2339.78] Koel: Where [2340.78] Koel: I can actually fly [2341.78] Koel: And [2342.78] Koel: I'm not even high up at all [2343.78] Koel: But [2344.78] Koel: I'm with the clouds [2345.78] Koel: I'm above the fog here [2346.78] Koel: Which was really [2347.78] Koel: Really cool [2348.78] Koel: Like [2349.78] Koel: First experience ever for me [2350.78] Koel: I don't know if you guys have ever had [2351.78] Koel: That kind of experience before [2352.78] Koel: But [2353.78] Koel: Um [2354.78] Koel: It [2355.78] Koel: I don't know man [2356.78] Koel: There's something different about it [2357.78] Koel: Like I [2358.78] Koel: I mean I don't [2359.78] Koel: I never fly my quad [2360.78] Koel: Like high enough [2361.78] Koel: Where [2362.78] Koel: Especially here in Canada [2363.78] Koel: Where I'm going to be above clouds [2364.78] Koel: Because that would just be like [2365.78] Koel: Extremely irresponsible [2367.78] Koel: Uh [2368.78] Koel: But [2369.78] Koel: When you're in a place like this [2370.78] Koel: Where [2371.78] Koel: You're in the countryside [2372.78] Koel: It's in a valley [2373.78] Koel: And you're not even that high up [2374.78] Koel: Like [2375.78] Koel: And the clouds just were there [2376.78] Koel: It's like well [2377.78] Koel: Man I guess I'm going to fly over these [2378.78] Koel: Heh [2379.78] Koel: Yeah I pretty much just made like [2382.19] Koel: A little cinematic edit kind of thing [2384.19] Koel: Just [2385.19] Koel: This is just the first pack kind of [2386.19] Koel: Going around and [2387.19] Stephen: I wonder how you interpret the law [2389.19] Stephen: When you've got just so much undulating terrain [2392.19] Stephen: Are you technically supposed to like [2393.19] Stephen: Hug [2394.19] Stephen: A hundred meters above [2396.19] Stephen: Every part of the terrain [2397.19] Stephen: That would be pretty difficult to figure out [2400.19] Koel: Well that was [2401.19] Koel: That is something that [2402.19] Koel: Um [2403.19] Koel: You hear a lot of these [2404.19] Koel: Long-range guys say like [2405.19] Koel: You know they're [2406.19] Koel: They're flying up a mountain or whatever [2408.19] Koel: But they're only ever [2409.19] Koel: Ten meters off the ground [2410.19] Koel: Right so [2411.19] Koel: Heh [2412.19] Koel: But I don't know [2414.19] Koel: I mean I was never going up that high [2416.19] Koel: I was [2417.19] Koel: I kept it pretty [2418.19] Koel: Responsible for the most part [2419.19] Koel: Like [2420.19] Koel: Um [2421.19] Koel: Especially in a foreign country man [2422.19] Koel: I'm not really trying to break any laws [2423.19] Koel: Like [2424.19] Koel: I [2425.19] Koel: I got my [2426.19] Koel: I got my foreign operators license [2427.19] Koel: Registered my stuff [2429.19] Koel: You know [2430.19] Koel: I'm following the [2431.19] Koel: The drone math I have out there [2432.19] Koel: As far as like [2433.19] Koel: The different zones [2434.19] Koel: There's green zones [2435.19] Koel: Yellow zones [2436.19] Koel: Red zones [2437.19] Koel: Um [2438.19] Koel: And I'm actually [2439.19] Koel: I'll basically [2440.19] Koel: In a later episode [2441.19] Koel: Obviously on this one [2442.19] Koel: I'll show you more stuff [2443.19] Koel: Where I actually end up [2444.19] Koel: Getting to fly in a national park [2445.19] Koel: And I actually [2447.19] Koel: I submitted an application [2448.19] Koel: And I got approval to fly in a national park [2450.19] Koel: And it was actually [2451.19] Koel: I was flying at over [2452.19] Koel: 3,000 meters altitude [2454.19] Koel: It was insane [2455.19] Koel: Um [2457.19] Koel: And [2458.19] Koel: A whole other thing [2459.19] Koel: But [2460.19] Koel: Yeah it was [2461.19] Koel: It was really cool man [2462.19] Koel: It was [2463.19] Koel: Um [2464.19] Koel: Well [2465.19] Koel: Yeah but we can [2466.19] Koel: That'll be a [2467.19] Koel: Us for another day I guess [2468.19] Koel: But [2469.19] Koel: But yeah I guess that's a good question though [2470.19] Koel: As far as interpreting [2471.19] Koel: You know the height [2472.19] Koel: And whatever [2473.19] Koel: From terrain and whatnot [2474.19] Koel: But [2475.19] Koel: Yeah I was [2476.19] Koel: I was definitely under [2477.19] Koel: 120 meters [2478.19] Koel: So that's [2479.19] Koel: That's good [2480.19] Koel: Looks lovely [2481.19] Koel: Oh man [2482.19] Koel: I mean [2483.19] Koel: I imagine you [2484.19] Koel: Wake up in the morning [2485.19] Koel: And you're up at [2486.19] Koel: 7.30 [2487.19] Koel: And you put on some really chill music in the headphones [2489.19] Koel: And you just [2490.19] Koel: Just go and explore [2491.19] Koel: You know [2492.19] Koel: Like [2493.19] Koel: It's [2494.19] Koel: It's pretty unreal [2495.19] Koel: It's pretty magical honestly [2496.19] Koel: Like [2497.19] Koel: Hmm [2498.19] Koel: I don't know [2499.19] Koel: It [2500.19] Koel: I don't even really have [2501.19] Stephen: Words for it [2502.19] Stephen: I think the only place I've seen that's [2504.19] Stephen: Quite like that is [2505.19] Stephen: I went to Sri Lanka a couple of years ago [2508.19] Stephen: Ah yeah yeah [2509.19] Stephen: That's the nearest thing I [2510.19] Stephen: I can bring to memory [2512.19] Stephen: Bring to mind [2513.19] Koel: Well the cool thing about Taiwan is that [2517.19] Koel: The south is tropical [2519.19] Koel: The lower half is tropical [2521.19] Koel: And the upper half is subtropical [2523.19] Koel: And here [2524.19] Koel: Where I'm [2525.19] Koel: Where I'm here is actually [2526.19] Koel: In the tropical part of it [2528.19] Koel: And I mean clearly there's like [2530.19] Koel: Palm trees and stuff everywhere [2533.19] Koel: But [2534.19] Koel: Yeah it's just [2535.19] Koel: The kind of weather you get out there [2537.19] Koel: Is just nuts [2538.19] Koel: Especially in these sort of like [2539.19] Koel: Mountain valleys and stuff [2541.19] Stephen: It's [2542.19] Stephen: Pretty freaking cool [2543.19] Stephen: Do you have the rain like [2544.19] Stephen: Rolling in [2545.19] Stephen: The late afternoon [2546.19] Stephen: Like as soon as the temperature drops [2547.19] Stephen: It just hammers down my brain or [2549.19] Stephen: Was it pretty easy going? [2551.19] Koel: Sometimes [2552.19] Koel: Sometimes it will come in [2554.19] Koel: But I got really lucky [2555.19] Koel: Because I was there for I think five days [2558.19] Koel: And [2559.19] Koel: It didn't even rain once [2560.19] Koel: And then the day afterwards [2561.19] Koel: Apparently it was just [2562.19] Koel: Fucking down [2563.19] Koel: So [2564.19] Koel: I just got super lucky [2567.19] Stephen: That looks awesome [2568.19] Koel: Then I'm just [2569.19] Koel: Coming in for a landing [2571.19] Koel: And [2573.19] Koel: It was weird [2574.19] Koel: Cause like [2575.19] Koel: A lot of people saw this [2576.19] Koel: And they mess me [2577.19] Koel: They're like man [2578.19] Koel: How were you not sitting for that? [2579.19] Koel: I'm like well [2580.19] Koel: I didn't have a chair there [2581.19] Koel: So [2582.19] Koel: Yeah [2583.19] Koel: And just walking back [2584.19] Koel: To the [2585.19] Koel: To the [2586.19] Koel: To the place [2587.19] Koel: Where I was staying at [2588.19] MULTIPLE: Yeah [2589.19] MULTIPLE: It was pretty cool [2590.19] MULTIPLE: Chill flight [2591.19] MULTIPLE: How long was the flight? [2592.19] Koel: Is it the same minutes [2593.19] Koel: 11 [2594.19] Koel: Was that 11 minutes? [2595.19] Koel: No that was round trip [2596.19] Koel: 11 something kilometers [2597.19] Koel: But I think [2598.19] Koel: The average [2599.19] Koel: I think the average flight time [2600.19] Koel: I was being really safe [2601.19] Koel: With the batteries [2602.19] Koel: Like [2603.19] Koel: 15 to 18 minutes [2604.19] Koel: Or something [2605.19] Koel: The flight time on [2606.19] Koel: Like per pack [2607.19] Koel: And the nice thing [2608.19] Koel: About lithium ions [2609.19] Koel: Is you can fly them [2610.19] Koel: Lower than lipos [2611.19] Koel: Right? [2612.19] Koel: So [2613.19] Koel: That's pretty sweet [2614.19] Koel: I do have more [2615.19] Koel: DVR actually though [2616.19] Koel: Do you guys want to see [2617.19] Koel: Some more [2618.19] MULTIPLE: Do you want some DVR? [2621.82] MULTIPLE: Yeah [2622.82] MULTIPLE: Why not? [2623.82] MULTIPLE: You have to talk us [2624.82] MULTIPLE: Through it though [2625.82] MULTIPLE: You're doing a good job [2626.82] MULTIPLE: Yeah [2627.82] MULTIPLE: People who listen [2628.82] MULTIPLE: Will want to [2629.82] Koel: Totally [2630.82] MULTIPLE: Want to hear [2631.82] Koel: What's going on [2632.82] Koel: So [2633.82] Koel: I don't exactly [2634.82] Koel: Know which day [2635.82] Koel: This is [2636.82] Koel: I have this just exported [2637.82] Koel: But [2638.82] Koel: Let's see [2641.1] Koel: So [2642.1] Koel: I'm just trying to see [2644.1] Koel: What I'm [2645.1] Koel: So I'm here [2646.1] Koel: I'm waiting for satellites [2647.1] Koel: I'm just [2648.1] Koel: Oh okay [2649.1] Koel: Actually this is a pretty cool little [2650.1] Koel: Starting part of the flight [2651.1] Koel: So [2652.1] Koel: This is a [2653.1] Koel: I think this may have actually [2654.1] Koel: Been the same day [2655.1] Koel: Just maybe later in the day [2656.1] Koel: But I'm just waiting for satellites [2657.1] Koel: And then [2658.1] Koel: And I'm still scoping out [2659.1] Koel: My flight pass [2660.1] Koel: So [2661.1] Koel: I kind of know [2662.1] Koel: This way [2663.1] Koel: Actually down this road [2664.1] Koel: There's a huge hole [2665.1] Koel: In the road [2666.1] Koel: From some kind of erosion [2667.1] Koel: But I just flew past it [2668.1] Koel: So I'm just kind of flying through [2671.46] Koel: Just kind of seeing [2672.46] Koel: Where I can fly and whatnot [2673.46] Koel: Then I found this cool little pocket [2675.26] Koel: Through these trees [2676.26] Koel: And I was like [2677.26] Koel: Zing! [2678.26] Koel: Just kind of zip through [2679.26] Koel: Those [2680.26] Koel: It was kind of cool [2683.26] Koel: And [2684.26] Koel: But yeah [2685.26] Koel: I think this was the same day [2686.26] Koel: Just later on in the day [2687.26] Koel: Because it was [2688.26] Koel: It was pretty [2689.26] Koel: Kind of like a foggy day [2690.26] Koel: Sort of thing [2691.26] Koel: Let me see [2692.26] Koel: Do I go [2693.26] Koel: Yeah [2694.26] Koel: I went the other way [2695.26] Koel: And then [2696.26] Koel: I hit the [2697.26] Koel: I hit the [2698.26] Koel: The bridge gap [2699.26] Koel: Or whatever you want to call it [2700.26] Koel: Which is [2701.26] Koel: You know [2702.26] Koel: It's not that spectacular [2703.26] Koel: But I was going [2704.26] Koel: Like [2705.26] Koel: It looks way slower than it is [2706.26] Koel: But I was going like [2707.26] Koel: 70, 80 kilometers an hour there [2710.26] Koel: Which is pretty cool [2712.26] Koel: But I'm just [2713.26] Koel: Basically just checking out the countryside [2716.26] Koel: Maybe this is the one where [2717.26] Koel: A bird got my attention [2718.26] Koel: Yeah [2719.26] Koel: So I was flying [2720.26] Koel: And I got distracted [2721.26] Koel: By a bird [2722.26] Koel: That went in front of me [2723.26] Koel: Probably not going to be able [2724.26] Koel: To see it too well [2725.26] Koel: Over the DVR [2726.26] Koel: It's probably [2727.26] Koel: Right around here [2728.26] Koel: Oh yeah [2729.26] Koel: You're not going to be able [2730.26] Koel: To tell [2731.26] Koel: It's analog video [2732.26] Koel: But I kind of got [2733.26] Koel: Distracted by it [2734.26] Koel: And I like [2735.26] Koel: I went to go [2736.26] Koel: Kind of like [2737.26] Koel: Follow it a bit [2738.26] Koel: But then [2739.26] Koel: I was like [2740.26] Koel: Yeah that's kind of boring [2741.26] Koel: So then I go back over here [2742.26] Koel: I'm just kind of like [2743.26] Koel: Flying sort of [2744.26] Koel: Well I was [2745.26] Koel: Trying to fly [2746.26] Koel: Beside the road [2747.26] Koel: But apparently I was [2748.26] Koel: Slightly over it [2749.26] Koel: But that's okay [2750.26] Koel: There was no cars around [2751.26] Koel: So [2752.26] Koel: There was no video here [2753.26] Koel: And I'm like [2754.26] Koel: Oh okay I got to go higher [2755.26] Koel: Got to go higher up [2756.26] Koel: Uh oh [2757.26] Koel: I can't see anything [2758.26] Koel: I'm like okay [2759.26] Koel: Someone put the channel [2760.26] Koel: On the right [2761.26] Koel: You know they switch the channel [2762.26] Koel: Back to the right one [2763.26] Koel: So [2764.26] Koel: I'm just like flying over [2765.26] Koel: This little valley [2766.26] Koel: With the other river [2767.26] Koel: And everything [2768.26] Koel: Like super chill [2769.26] Koel: I'm going up and going up [2770.26] Koel: And then all of a sudden [2771.26] Koel: Look at this [2772.26] Koel: I didn't even mean for this to happen [2773.26] Koel: I just [2774.26] Koel: I was just going up to get better video [2775.26] Koel: And then now [2776.26] Koel: Now this is happening [2777.26] Koel: So I'm like [2778.26] Koel: Oh [2779.26] Koel: This is another [2780.26] Stephen: We're not sure [2781.26] Stephen: Quite what's happening [2782.26] Stephen: Oh [2783.26] Koel: Oh yes [2784.26] Koel: So I'm climbing up [2785.26] Koel: I'm climbing up [2786.26] Koel: And then again [2787.26] Koel: It's another sea of clouds [2788.26] Koel: Essentially [2789.26] Koel: Or sea of fog [2790.26] Koel: Or clouds [2791.26] Koel: Whatever you want to call it [2792.26] Koel: And now I'm flying above the clouds again [2795.26] Koel: And I'm not even that high up [2797.26] Koel: It's like [2798.26] Koel: It's just [2799.26] Koel: It's so cool [2800.26] Koel: So then I'm [2801.26] Koel: I'm just kind of scoping stuff around [2802.26] Koel: I got [2803.26] Koel: You know most of these [2804.26] Koel: Kind of packs [2805.26] Koel: I'm just [2806.26] Koel: I'm just seeing what I can see [2807.26] Koel: It's not like [2808.26] Koel: I have any real intention [2809.26] Koel: It's just like [2810.26] Koel: I want to see where I can go [2811.26] Koel: I want to see where I can't go [2812.26] Koel: Video started to get a little sketchy at the top of that hill [2815.26] Koel: But I think it's because of how I was sort of [2817.26] Koel: Tilted to the one side or rolled to the one side [2821.26] Koel: But I will say [2823.26] Koel: Flying over top of fog and clouds like this is kind of weird [2826.26] Koel: Because [2827.26] Koel: I mean it's nice to have the GPS or whatever [2829.26] Koel: But video signal does tend to get a little [2833.26] Koel: Strange I guess [2835.26] Koel: When there's a [2836.26] Koel: You know a layer of like clouds [2838.26] Koel: A bit of moisture in here [2840.26] Koel: Yeah [2841.26] Koel: Like I'm only [2842.26] Koel: I'm not far from myself [2843.26] Koel: But you can see it's like [2844.26] Koel: It's starting to get a little noisy [2846.26] Koel: It's not bad [2847.26] Koel: It's not even bad at all [2848.26] Koel: In terms of you know [2849.26] Koel: Breakup and especially analog breakup [2851.26] Koel: But it was a bit weird [2852.26] Koel: So I'm like okay [2853.26] Koel: I'm going to turn around now [2854.26] Koel: And then I kind of just like [2856.26] Koel: Dove down through [2858.26] Koel: This little foggy part here [2861.26] Koel: And [2862.26] Koel: Just so chill [2864.26] Koel: Oh man [2865.26] Koel: I can't really [2867.26] Koel: I can't express how chill [2870.26] Koel: It was flying there [2871.26] Koel: Like it's just [2872.26] Koel: It's the total opposite of freestyle [2874.26] Koel: Like you're just [2875.26] Koel: You're chill [2876.26] Koel: I mean your heart rate is still going [2877.26] Koel: Similar to freestyle [2878.26] Koel: But you're just kind of cruising [2880.26] Koel: And it's just like [2881.26] Koel: It's in a way kind of relaxing [2882.26] Koel: And almost like meditative [2885.26] Koel: Um [2886.26] Koel: Which sounds really strange [2887.26] Koel: But yeah [2888.26] Koel: It's [2889.26] Koel: It's pretty cool [2890.26] Koel: So [2891.26] Koel: So that's that [2892.26] Koel: I'm kind of just [2893.26] Koel: Going around [2895.26] Koel: Hitting the [2896.26] Koel: Hitting the [2897.26] Koel: The gap there [2898.26] Koel: Going up [2899.26] Koel: Seeing the clouds again [2900.26] Koel: And just [2901.26] Koel: This was a really sh** part actually [2903.26] Koel: So [2904.26] Koel: So I wanted to dive down [2905.26] Koel: Because I [2906.26] Koel: I really wanted to do some sweet dives [2907.26] Koel: But the problem with this terrain [2909.26] Koel: Is that it's all [2910.26] Koel: Trees [2911.26] Koel: Really? [2912.26] Koel: And it's kind of strange lumps so [2914.26] Koel: Um [2915.26] Koel: And I have to be very careful [2916.26] Koel: About my video signal [2918.26] Koel: So I [2919.26] Koel: Here I'm about to go try and do like a dive [2921.26] Koel: But you'll see my video like [2923.26] Koel: Just goes really bad [2925.26] Koel: Like really bad [2926.26] Koel: Where I can't see anything [2928.26] Koel: But I know [2929.26] Koel: I mean I'm not [2930.26] Koel: Like [2931.26] Koel: I'm aware of how my quad is [2932.26] Koel: And I know how I need to orient it to get video back [2934.26] Koel: But [2935.26] Koel: I mean I lost [2936.26] Koel: A lock on my fusion there [2937.26] Koel: And then now it just came back [2939.26] Koel: But [2940.26] Koel: Um [2941.26] Koel: Yeah [2942.26] Koel: That was [2943.26] Koel: Those were definitely terrifying moments [2945.26] Koel: Like [2946.26] Koel: But [2947.26] Koel: It's still fun [2948.26] Stephen: Pretty easy to lose orientation as well [2950.26] Stephen: When you're up in the clouds [2951.26] Stephen: Look at this one [2952.26] Koel: Let's count the seconds here that I can't see [2954.26] Koel: Okay [2955.26] Koel: Let's see [2956.26] Koel: So [2957.26] UNKNOWN: Let's see [2958.26] Koel: We'll count it from here [2961.26] Koel: One [2962.26] Koel: Oh no [2963.26] Koel: Like one [2964.26] Koel: Two [2965.26] Koel: Three [2966.26] Koel: Okay maybe like three or four [2968.26] Koel: Like three or four seconds like [2969.26] Koel: It's still [2970.26] Koel: It's still scary isn't it [2971.26] Koel: When you [2972.26] Koel: When you can't see [2973.26] Koel: It's still a must [2974.26] Stephen: It's time that you're completely drenched in sweat [2976.26] Stephen: When the video does come back [2977.26] Stephen: Yeah [2978.26] Koel: A little bit [2979.26] Stephen: Especially when you're far out [2980.26] Koel: Yeah I mean [2981.26] Koel: The thing is [2982.26] Koel: Is like [2984.26] Koel: I guess you kind of grow accustomed to it in a way [2986.26] Koel: Like [2987.26] Koel: In a lot [2988.26] Koel: In a lot of ways you almost know when your video is going to break up [2991.26] Koel: Or how it's going to break up [2992.26] Koel: Or what you need to do to get it to come back properly [2995.26] Koel: A lot of times you just have to like roll [2997.26] Koel: You know [2998.26] Koel: Like [2999.26] Koel: If you're rolled this way [3000.26] Koel: And the orientation is weird [3001.26] Koel: But then you roll back this way [3002.26] Koel: Then you might get video again [3003.26] Koel: Or maybe pitch a little more [3005.26] Koel: Or [3006.26] Koel: It just like [3007.26] Koel: Yeah [3008.26] Koel: It depends on like the [3009.26] Koel: I guess the null points [3010.26] Koel: And also the terrain [3011.26] Koel: It's a bit of a [3013.57] Stephen: What was your video antenna?
