I am so sorry I haven’t been able to talk lately. I have had sols, an exam, and a lot of homework to do. I pass advanced all of them, :) but I haven’t been able to play around in sp. Anyway, here are some things to look for in a damaged battery:
The 4s’s nominal voltage is 14.8v, so 5v definitely isn’t normal, likely even when the battery is discharged normally.
Is the battery puffy or warm? If so GET RID OF IT.
Is the value exactly 5v? If so, it’s likely a drone malfunction, and not a battery problem.
Does the battery voltage decrease when you arm the drone, and will the drone even arm? If the voltage does decrease or it won’t let you arm, UNPLUG IT and get rid of it!
If you really want to be safe though, you should get rid of the battery. (especially if it is puffy or gets hot) If you put in a new battery and it still has a problem, then it’s the drone. A 4s battery should never be able to discharge to 5v, and idk if it’s even possible, which makes me think it’s the drone. Tbh though, you’re better safe then sorry with this one. Lipos can be VERY dangerous and fiery. Would you rather shell out some extra money for a new battery or risk scorching your hand off and burning down your house?
@DeveloperKorzalerke I don't really know enough ft to help idontknow8b, but let me at least explain to you what they want with the gyro. So I'm pretty sure they want a gyroscope on their drone that keeps the drone at the exact angle where you release the controls. So like, you roll upside down and let go, and the gyroscope keeps the drone upside down until you roll back around.
@HuskyDynamics01 This happens to me all the time. The best thing to do is save the plane, then drag the part connected to the cockpit to the delete button. Then, you will only be left with the disconnected parts. Reload the plane, locate the parts and reconnect them. Just one more way for SP to make life harder.
Should I be afraid of you now? Also, nerf guns are awesome! If you ever get into modding, I’ve got quite a few tips for you. Also, if you like nerf, don’t buy nerf brand. Dart Zone is much better in price, performance, and quality. Get a villainator or nexus pro. Then, those bullies will tremble in fear when they see you.@Kthepersonorguy
Yep. I tried to fix that, but to no avail. I warned in the description not to do that, because the system isn't perfect. I might try harder to fix it later.@AlmostADev
Thanks. I would say the Cormorant is the most beautiful mech I’ve seen though. What I can say, however, is that this mech certainly took awhile. And it’s not done yet! I’ll keep adding features and improving things. @Dragorans
@RoastHam9146 Actually, I figured out how to do it. However, the problem is that it is a tiny bit shaky because the rotators move 1 degree at a time. Is there any way to make the rotators move more smoothly?
@GhostHTX Thats a good point, but I think that sometimes its hard to not think about upvotes at all. I don't build for upvotes, but I also don't particularly like building in simpleplanes. However, I like to see my finished product and feel accomplished. I made that, and it's cool! It's also nice to just talk with the amazing people on this site. Upvotes are just a side quest.
@idontknow8b I'm so exited to see the quad! Make sure to tag me! Also, just to let you know- the Ao Jun now flies and walks. It's got some kinks and I've still got to work out the transformation cycle, but I'm getting close!
Nice! FPV is so much fun. You'll love it. Here are my tips and recommendations:
If you're looking for a small, quality camera, a runcam nano 3 or 4 should do the trick. If you want something cheaper, I'd recommend the runcam nano 2. I've got it on my tinyhawk 2 freestyle, and it looks great. I'll probably upgrade eventually, though. I'm not sure about the FOV, but it looks fine on my goggles.
If you like flying just off your phone screen, that's fine. This drone doesn't seem like it has a normal VTX, so you probably can't connect the drone to goggles. However, if you do eventually upgrade to a new quad and are looking for good FPV goggles, it's important to find a model with a fan, two antennas and a DVR. The fan keeps the goggles from fogging up, the two antennas improve video range and the DVR lets you record flights to an SD card. You don't have to get something expensive, but tbh it has to have a fan in it, otherwise the fogging gets annoying. I have the EMAX transporter goggles and betafpv VR01. The VR01 doesn't have a fan, but doesn't fog up as much because of how I wear it, slightly higher on my face. I've heard the EMAX Transporter 2 is also pretty good, but I don't have it.
To get your quad to fly right, I'd recommend tuning it in betaflight if you can. Look up how to install it and connect the quad to your computer. If your quad is compatible, you can change the onscreen video display to give it a HUD, or you can change how fast it turns, rolls and pitches. You can basically change everything about how the quad flies.
Note: Your quad might not be able to connect to a computer. In which case, ignore this tip.
If you want to fly FPV, you need to be able to fix the quad when you break it. And yes, that is a when. You will eventually crash it and break it. I'd recommend having a cheap, but quality soldering iron around to resolder burnt-out motors. See if you can also buy extra frames for it, so if you break one of the quad's arms you can replace it. I don't crash very often, but when you do crash while flying freestyle, it's easy to break something. My quad is probably about 75% replacement parts. You probably won't be flying at high speeds with your tinywhoop but it's good to be prepared.
Lastly, you want to pick gear that can grow with you. Don't buy the cheapest of the cheap goggles and transmitter, because you'll end up replacing them and spending more money. Buy quality gear so when you want to upgrade to a new quad, you don't need to buy new equiptment. I've already recommended goggles, but I also have some suggestions on controllers. I'd recommend the Jumper-T Lite, because it has great gimbals and can connect to many different drones and planes. It has two different protocol chipsets you can get, so make sure you get the right one for your quad. If your drone uses a proprietary binding protocol, you'll have to use the included controller. If you eventually decide you want a faster, higher-quality quad later on, I'd recommend the EMAX tinyhawk 3 for for indoor/limited outdoor use, or the EMAX tinyhawk 2 freestyle for outdoor freestyling/racing.
@Enigmama Some dumb spammer made an alt and @Kangy tried to give 'em a taste of thier own medicine. Then @Pyrrha found another one of the moron's alts and got both of them banned.
Yup, then you’re all good. I’m glad it was nothing, Happy flying! @idontknow8b

+2@idontknow8b Awesome! Congrats! Also, I love the screenshot you took for this build. Thats a nice visual effect. Good plane too!
+2@SheriffHackdogMCPE @BeastHunter I can't upvote either, but I'll make it up to you on a different build!
+2Also, did you guys catch that WNP78 missed #6? Hmm, suspicious imposter conspiracy theory material?
+2@JustDragon Nice! Also, completely forgot to upvote! Sorry!
+2Whoa! Incredible!
+2@BeastHunter Perfection.

+2- Praise me, for I created the almost joke. I’m almost sure.
- Until you become a true SPer, you will never understand the true meaning of effort.
+2That looks really good. Nice job! Now, simply make it fly and advertise it as the supermarine stevefire.

+2@X99STRIKER I should have known someone would say that.
+2Great movie by the way, would watch again. Who plays the antagonist again? Jundroo itself?
+2Just a guess, but I think it has to do with SPVR.
+2This is absolutely legendary. I hope this post gets over 100 upotes.
