    What is a Grease - Cable Sleeve...?

    My focus is with the dealer who have had to order this part from Germany to fix an electrical issue, any idea where it is used in the engine and how a damaged one might affect electronics? I bought a mk3 (2017) focus less than 2 weeks ago from a large Ford dealer network and it's already been...

    Old Gmail account weirdness..

    Same same, someone is using my email minus the "." or with the . in different places. I'm now getting requests from the Director of Pastoral Care to organise the parish meetings in New Jersy, some mobile rpg game I was able to log into where apparently I had a blinging cloak because everyone was...

    Multirotor, multicopter and quadcopter discussion - The Drone thread

    I'm amazed at how well you can train fpv skills up in simulators like Velocidrone! I got into the hobby around sept last year, building a Martian from scratch and buying an X215 Pro because it was cheap, but not actually getting to fly more than just level mode LOS because of the wind, rain and...

    Multirotor, multicopter and quadcopter discussion - The Drone thread

    Think i've solved it - soldered the power for the RX to the PDB 5v because the 5v on the FC SBUS was flaky. Lesson learnt: cheap chinese FCs need to be paired with a proper PDB!

    It dies within a minute or two. I'll do more testing today and give that a go. It doesn't even need to be flying, just plugging in with no props sitting on the desk :/ Still having fun with the cam and goggles though - goggles on, hold camera on shoulder, other arm in front of you, instant real...

    Multirotor, multicopter and quadcopter discussion - The Drone thread

    Turns out it was a power issue - spent all day today rebuilding with a regulated PDB so I have proper 5v and 12v rails for the cam and VTx respectively, works a charm now :) Edit: spoke too soon :o:(

    Multirotor, multicopter and quadcopter discussion - The Drone thread

    Runcam eagle 2 so it should take up to 36v. The VTx is a cheap chinese one (GTX226 5.8G) so maybe it's drawing too much power or something? It does get very warm. It's a relatively cheap build so I'm not suprised there are random issues cropping up...probably shouldn't have scrimped on the FC...

    Multirotor, multicopter and quadcopter discussion - The Drone thread

    Sorry I meant RX, it just conks out a minute or so after plugging in the battery. Camera and FC stay on but RX loses power and Taranis loses telemetry. Unplugging the cam and vtx fixes it so I've ballsed up the power I guess. Currently running the VTx from vbat (3S battery) and the cam from the...

    They're good! Just finished wiring up the Runcam eagle 2 and vtx so I could try the goggles - Comfortable, clear screen (slightly blurry at the edges on 16:9 mode) easy to use. Very happy with them so far, would recommend A++++ I think i've messed up somewhere, however, as the TX dies after a...

    These things are quite addictive! I escalated quite quickly from a little Eachine E10C to a Syma X5C-1 and now this (self build): Been trying to practice LoS acro but weather/no time is making it difficult! I have the FPV gear ready to be installed this weekend and commander goggles on the...

    **** The Official Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge Thread ****

    I've been having this issue too and removing Oculus seems to have helped but you need to remove the main app plus all related oculus apps/services via Settings > Applications > Application Manager. I removed the Gear VR stuff and Oculus games too just in case..

    Hydraulic disk brakes making horrible noise

    I tried bedding in some more on a hill but it didn't seem to make much difference. The rear brake isn't too bad but the front one vibrates the whole fork and makes a sound that causes everyone near by to turn and stare! It sounds/feels like the pads are skipping on the cut-outs on the rotor...

    Hydraulic disk brakes making horrible noise

    I could do with some advice with my new Whyte Portabello which i've not had much luck with so far.. sorry if I drone on a bit, been a long process getting this bike. Basically the Tektro Auriga disk brakes are making this noise (not my video but exact same noise): Both front and back...
