For 4s1p - shrinking tube should be 90mm - 21700 is 21mm*4 Good sources: Complete Guide for Tech Beginners : 14 Steps (with Pictures) - Instructables   Connecting the Dots: Series vs. Parallel Circuits (recurrentauto.com) To solder 18650 or 21700 batteries, ideally, you need a spot welder, on amazon, they cost arround 50€. You also need balance leads and positive/negative leads. Buy option: Molicel INR21700-P45B 4500mAh - 45A - 21700 & 20700 - Li-ion - Rechargeable batteries | NKON Series lipos: example for 2S (1S added to another 1S): If we take two batteries of 3.7v, 2000mah each, and connect them in series, you will get a new battery of 7.4v, 2200mah's. 3.7 v is the storage voltage, for a lipo, if charged, it would be 4.2volts and 2200mah's We keep the amount of mah's.

Register RC models in Portugal

 In order to fly legally in Portugal, we must register our models. To fly without a camera : This is where:  Registry (anac.pt) Also, we need to print our registration numbers on the models. To fly with a camera , you need to ask for authorization here: e-AAN Old notes: 1º Registar-se como operador no site da ANAC. https://uas.anac.pt/. 2º depois do operador estar validado, colocar o número de operador no drone ( a multa é de 2000€ ). Pode ser colado numa etiqueta, escrito, como entender. 3º Se o drone pesar menos de 900 gramas não necessita de seguro. Se o drone tiver mais de 900 gramas o seguro é obrigatório. 4º registar-se no site da AAN. No site da AAN é que vai pedir autorizações para voar. O registo pode ser feito aqui: https://backoffice.aan.pt/checklogin . E por último, se ainda não tiver a formação A1/A3, tem de andar com este documento que o isenta da formação até fins de maio: https://www.anac.pt/SiteCollectionDocuments/UAS_DRONES/Declara%C3%A7%C3%A3o%20RP%20CIA%200...

3D Printing

Printers: I am using the Prusa MK4 and I am very happy with it. I had the Prusa MK3S+ and Ender V3 in the past. I have built several printers or worked on others. The MK4 is my choice for my hobbies. Filaments: Humidity It is very important to remove the humidity, the results are tremendous. I use the EIBOS:  EIBOS 3D Filament Dryer Series X: Easdry – EIBOS3D They send from Europe. I also use their bags and vacuum to store filaments that I won't use so often. Wood PLA : Very briddle - hard to print, recommended to use a 0,6 nozzle. I need to try to remove the humidity to see it it works better. PLA and PETG: on this MK4, I print any PLA or PETG really... so I don't care too much, just buy the cheapest one. If I want something good, I buy Prusament. LW-PLA: This is mostly for airplanes - Coloprfab is my current choice, but order a new from amazon:  PolyLight 1.0 LW-PLA Natural 1 kg 3DLabPrint : Amazon.de: Business, Industry & Science  to try next week. Really important...

Setup INAV for planes

 This is how I setup my planes with INAV: Choose a compatible controller, I typically use Matek board. Download and install the INAV configurator:  Releases · iNavFlight/inav-configurator (github.com) Flash the board - to flash, you need to switch the board to DFU mode - tipically, press the button on the board while powering the board. If it is not recognized, run Zadig or  ImpulseRC Driver Fixer I like to start from a fresh model, so make sure to clean the settings.

18650 for my AtomRC Swordfish

I decided to build an AtomRC Swordfish after having a few bad experiences with the Volantex Ranger 2400. The Ranger as, in my opinion, a couple of issues: The wings plug make the connections to flaps and ailerons, hard to manage. The internals are hard to work on - not much space. There is a middle plate in wood, hard to put a controller like an INAV board. I did design a new one and printed. I can share it, pm me. I went to the AtomRC Swordfish after checking a few youtube videos. Plane: I bought the plane here:  https://www.banggood.com/pt/ATOMRC-Swordfish-1200mm-Wingspan-Dual-Motor-EPP-FPV-Glider-RC-Airplane-Fixed-Wing-KIT-or-PNP-or-FPV-or-RTH-or-RTH+FPV-p-1980781.html?cur_warehouse=CZ&ID=6322065 INAV Controller: I choose this one, since I already have the Matek controller - I will be using the  (EOL)Flight Controller F722-WPX – Matek Systems Batteries: I decided to try those batteries: Based on this video:  https://youtu.be/pgns5UD2jw4?si=GuYe-FqWD57MQKwO and his ...
