Dawn Golden Hour, using a Silverwared Eachine H8 w/ Caddx Beetle. Mostly just cruising through the steam and enjoying the lens flares. ::Gear List:: Stock Eachine H8 Blue Board (w/ prop guards and other superfluous plastic removed) ^^^ w/Silverware firmware (31.10.16 stock) CL-0615-17 Coreless Motor ("INSANELY FAST") ^^ This doesn't make much if any difference imho; stock motors feel just as good. Once again, the only thing that made the H8 fly any better is the Silverware firmware, period! They're on clearance, so I tried 'em; https://www.airbladeuav.com/collectio...

$25 risk / 25 grams AUW Before you complain about where / when I flew, it's twenty-five grams and completely frangible!!! I could throw a deck of cards at your head and hurt you way more, FYI. Also, I'm up a night... I can't help that. 3AM and the city is finally quiet; all is well with the cosmos. Shhhhhh.... T'was 9°F w/ windchill (18MPH wind). Luckily windshields are radiotransparent. Oh yeh, I basically just took the lens off the Beetle, scraped the glue off the 4 corners of the IR filter with an xacto knife (it's on the back of the lens), pried the IR filter glass out and reinstalled / focused the lens. It definitely improved the night vision, didn't affect the colors too much, and the only downside seems to be a bit more lens flares (which I enjoy, personally). Max distance (1-way down a side street): ~700 Meters / 0.43 Miles (Stock H8 antenna wire! No amplifier mods or anything FCC-illegal at all; just a stock IRangeX IRX4 LITE w/ "FrSky 2.4GHz T-Style Antenna For Taranis X-Lite") ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHm8FxLUbf4
