Hooray I got it flying again! I am getting short of props again
though and as I said the supply line is long. <br>
<br>
Soon as I fixed it I tried getting this little critter to lift a
quarter (25 cents) taped to the bottom. I got it in the air once or
twice, where it was wildly uncontrollable. It mostly did a lot of
bouncing across the floor.<br>
It occurred to me that with a little bit larger machine you could
build a flying repeater, cross band of course. I forget what they
call them, but when you transmit to a gizmo and it takes the signal
and converts is to another without taking it down to audio.
Translator? Transponder? Well I think such a device could be made
very light and not too power hungry. I guess to make this project
fly (pun) you would have to organize the first national ham radio
drone to drone contact contest, oh DDCC sounds good, WAS DDCC even
better. Perhaps a new designation for Field Day C/D for Drone
mobile? Anyway the coffee is wearing off....<br>

<div>Yeah, I had the same problem with what looks like the same
motor on my little quad. I used a point-tip for soldering on
an Antex 25W iron, tinned the wire, put a little solder blob
on the tip and dabbed it in place, holding the wire with flat
tweezers. No problem.</div>

<div>Watch that coffee isn't too strong. You need to just stop
shaking and not get over-stimulated. :-)</div>

just put the dial caliper on it and it is only .020"
wire! So any tips on how to strip it? How about solder
it?<br>
Well I put on a loup and used a sharp exacto knife to
strip it. I think I'll wait for tomorrow morn and a
fresh cup of coffee before I attempt the solder. There
are a couple of fuzzy solder joints on the board. Also
I wonder if I could suck some of the excess solder off
to save weight? I guess one thing at a time, eh?<br>
The antenna is a short bit of wire bent into a U. It is
insulated wire and heavier by far than the motor wire.
There might be a chance for some weight saving there. <br>
All and all this little thing is pretty amazing and the
fact that it only cost $16 including shipping is just
plain crazy.<br>
I got more spare props on order and a new airframe too.
It's a long supply train all the way to the other side
of our little planet.<br>
