Or, you ran straight out the door. You’re flying up in the air in a matter of minutes. And then you got it stuck in a tree like this…

Or worse, it flies away or crashed to pieces. Did you know there is a setup procedure you must do before flying your drone? The drone won’t do it itself! They’re just not that smart.  Santa delivered the drone. But not the safety and skill to fly them.

The FPV Experience at The Air Expo

QuadCopter Coach at the SAFEE Flight event


SAFEE Flight Opa Locka FL 2018


Joel LikeCatcher volunteered his time to give the kids and teachers “The FPV Experience” at his booth.


The Air Expo was a FREE family fun day at the Airport on April 21th. Miami is an international hub for aviation. The South Florida Air Expo showcases all of the businesses and exciting opportunities flying into and out of our area everyday. Visitors came to see the planes, simulators, and displays. Briefings are conducted by pilots, aviation enthusiasts, air traffic controllers, flight schools, technicians and other members of the aviation industry.


The expo, the camps and the academies are all part of a SAFEE’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) outreach programs coordinated by the FAA, Miami-Dade and Broward Schools, colleges, universities and local aviation and aerospace industries and organizations. SAFEE’s goal is to introduce as many youth, young adults, and members of our community to the huge impact that aviation has in South Florida. 


Hellburner Build RETRO quadcopter


 By  2 Comments 
I had just completed my Hellbender build when badness happened.


I decided to make an oldschool quadcopter using the Hellbender 204 V2 frame by Ready Made RC (RMRC). My plan was to use a mix of old favorite parts on this old “dead cat” frame with the newest DSHOT tech. Well planned 3-hour quadcopter build didn’t go seo well. Multiple part failures on the bench. Unbelievable! This what happens when you are working with older parts mixed with newer tech I guess. But it kinda goes both ways too. Enjoy the video below for the full story…




I had 4 part failures on the bench!


1st failure:


Hellburner build
Bad


Hellburner build
Good


The flight controller’s serial USB connected fine to my computer, and I began programming in BetaFlight. Then it just locked out and never came back . This is a brand new/unused MotoLab Cyclone flight controller. So I had to order a Lumenier LUX V2 to replace it.


Hellburner build2nd failure:

I received four 30 Amp DSHOT ESC’s in my Done Drop Box and decided to use them. They failed to program. BLHeli Configurator (both 64bit and 32bit) failed to connect to them. All I could get was power on tones. It was like they had no pre-installed firmware. So I had to order four DYS XSD 30A V2 BLHeli-S ESC’s to replace them. 


3rd failure:

Hellburner buildI was going to reuse my old Lemon RX DSMX receivers in this build. Bad move. Both my 2 receivers died. So I pulled a Spektrum Satellite receiver out of my Chameleon quad for this build.


4th failure:

Hellburner buildNot really a failure as much as an inconvenience. The blue standoffs supplied with the Hellbender frame blocked the USB connector on the LUX flight controller. This was an easy fix! I happen to have red standoffs with a narrow fluted shape. The red standoffs gave just enough clearance for me to plugin the USB connector so I can programme the flight controller.


Don’t buy a drone before you read this.

My priorities had shifted abruptly.




Life has been quite sad for me lately. My Mom passed a few days before Thanksgiving. Dad got something like “aggressive Alzheimer’s disease” at the same time. I was his full-time caregiver for 3-weeks. We placed Dad into a fine assisted facility to support him.


It’s almost New Years 2018 as I’m becoming use to my new normal. Your promised videos and more training stuff will be posted soon. I have so many things to give you. Please stay tuned.


Thanks for your patents… Joel LikeCatcher
