Christmas Star on the day After Conjunction 2020-12-22 Laura and Dave out on the back deck checking out the remainder of the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn sometimes call the Christmas Star.

Basically this is a test to see if 1258 Mhz video can be used in close proximity to 1280 Mhz video. Looks like it can but see for yourself.

Part 2 of my Tiny Whoop build where I show how to add a Crazepony FPV Tiny Whoop Camera with VTX, How to upgrade Inductrix props and upgrade to Bangcool 220mah batteries.
In part 3 we will upgrade the flight controller board to a Beecore F3 EVO Brushed ACR FC and configure CleanFlight.
In the previous video part 1 video we did the Inductrix Strix motor upgrade, the RakonHeli frame upgrade.
In this case I am using the Crazepony Tiny Whoop FPV Camera with VTX and the Apex Prop upgrade. If you have other suggestions upgrades go ahead make a comment or just tell us what you are using and how you like it.
At the end of the video there is a flight test at the shop. I thought the FPV feed looked clear the range was good. No problem with the props rubbing the frame this time and the Bangcool 220mah batteries gave ample flight time.
The cover that came with the Crazepony cover may needs something extra to hold it to the frame because it comes loose easily.
Overall the Inductrix was around 4 grams heavier but still had okay flight times and FPV was blast. The Bangcool 220mah battery will added a little more weight.

Mavic Mini Drone Filming at Night - Setup Exposure Settings with Fireworks (4th of July 2020)
Testing the setup for Mavic Mini exposure at night such as ISO, Shutter Speed, Frame Rate.
https://youtu.be/My9ze4-ieoU Seems the Mavic Mini will do quite well with fireworks as long as it is close, like within 1/2 of a mile from the event.

DW EPP Mini Eagle RC Plane Build Part 4 - Adding Ailerons & Battery Tray
In this video https://youtu.be/l3Q-Cwi6ul4 The main wing is built and ailerons are added which are not included in the kit. Another modification is to add a battery tray in the front to make it easier to install the battery. We then measure the flying weight and weight with a 1500 mah 3s battery. The plane is now ready to fly. See the maiden flight video to see how this eagle flies!

The Eagle EPP arrives as a kit so most assembly is required, though the parts count is low, meaning it can easily be built in one evening of work. You need a small outrunner that with the included propeller makes for a perfect combination of power, yet ultra quiet performance. A O-ring style prop saver protects the prop in case of those abrupt arrivals with the ground as does the rubber band on wing. A full carbon spar keeps the wing stiff, providing a more consistent control feel. Just add your choice of 9g servos, 20~30A ESC, and 3S 11.1V 2200mAh Lipo, and you can have the Eagle EPP in the air in no time flat at a very economical price.

Item name: Wingspan 1200mm Eagle EPP Slow Flyer Kit
