Team Blacksheep Oblivion Frame Adapter Plate

I made a Thing and you too can print this Thing for your Team Blacksheep Oblivion Frame.
Don't want to read on, here's the link to get it from http://thingiverse.com


Upon receiving the Drone Drop subscription this month I was pleasantly surprised to find a TBS Oblivion Frame as part of the boxes contents.

This being my first month on the subscription I can say that they killed it with this one. I mean that in
such a good way as this was on one of my To Buy lists in the future. Not just because I am a big fan of TBS, but because this frame is designed to take a beating from a beginner.

Not having a lot of spare 30x30 stacks handy at this time, I set about finding a way to mount one of my 20x20 flight stacks in there. The frame is already a bit heavier than any of my other carbon fiber frames so this may be a mild weight savings that some people are looking to do as well.

Long story short, I couldn't find one to run through my 3D printer. I thought about drilling the frame, but I so hate doing that if I don't have to in these cases. So off to Fusion360 I went and came up with this design.

The view above is of the bottom of the adapter. It has all the cutouts to fit very precisely on the frame and run the 3mm bolts up through the frame to hold this in place.

The stack I am using accepts 2mm bolts and the flight controller, 4in1 esc's, and VTx are all soft mounted using 3mm to 2mm squishes. So in this design the adapter uses 25mm long 2mm socket head screws. I got my hardware from PyroDrone which is another great company with fast shipping.

Printed out at 2mm layer height and Flexible PLA created a piece that is strong and slightly flexible. (think rubber duck type material).

Thanks for stopping by!

FlightOne(formerly RaceFlight) Mode-2 Gizmo Build

So I ended up with a RaceFlight, now FlightOne, Millivolt v1 and Spark 4 in 1 ESC from a sale recently. They were 50% off and since everything I've built up to this point has been a BetaFlight config I felt I needed to see what the "hype" was all about. I had this 3" frame from Mode-2 that I bought mostly because of the name. GIZMO. One of my favorite movies from back in the day and my nickname from my time on a competition paintball team. The Mode-2 GIZMO is a 3" stretch X design with a few features that I really liked. The SMA mount on the rear which makes adding the Lumenier AXII antenna nice and simple. Carbon fiber camera mounts in the front with perfect spacing for most micro cameras. The guys at Mode-2 sent me the 3d print files for pretty much anything I'd want to tack onto this frame with just a quick message to them on Facebook. All parts were acquired from one of these three retailers HeliNation PyroDrone NewBeeDrone Fra

Team Blacksheep / AlienWhoop F4 build.

Last year I was one of the forntunate people to be able to acquire a handmade AlienWhoop F4 from one of my favorite people in the FPV community, Charlie Stevenson. His AlienWhoop boards have become my personal favorite to use when building my TinyWhoops. I initially built this Whoop with FrSky R-XSR receiver and an AIO camera from WolfWhoop, and had a blast ripping through the house and loved being able to tune up this board through the telemetry options. However, with being the Geek I am, I really wanted to fully utilize the OpenTx lua scripts and control the camera as well but I didn't personally like utilizing the only option available. That included using the Beeper POS+ line and Softserial remap of the resource to handle the SmartAudio. (which can be flaky at times) So you have options if you want to stick with FrSky Rx's but it's not a method I liked using personally.  I'll cover that in another post if needed but there is a fantastic s
