Finally got to fly while it's snowing actually FPV-visible giant fluffy flakes! The LED light posts in the lot aren't putting out much IR, so the colors look more normal unless you see an incandescent somewhere, like inside the car. Towards the end, I did some quick flights later that night around the hood to show how much fell. Also still needed to kill 6 packs cause of the wet-out that cut my morning lot session short. Then I had another wet-out when I clipped the pine tree and landed upside down, packing snow into the "Tinyhawk S". Fun times... it just won't die! 12 hours later now, there is double what you see in this video on the ground. If I crashed right now, I'd never find it... so we'll give it another go next snow in a plowed area.

I modded the Beetle lens for IR / night vision after removing it from the VTX. I used a VTX from a FireFly, cause it supports SmartAudio. I direct-soldered the "URUAV Micro UXII Stubby RHCP" to the FireFly VTX and secured it between the rear props on the bottom. +0.3g (and growing) of 3M Blenderm tape, Gaffer tape, superglue, welder glue, and hot glue. 33.85g Modded Weight (dry) [+5.5g] 28.35g Stock Tinyhawk S (dry). +1.41g Taller 15000KV Motors +3.00g Turnigy NanoTech 45~90C Batteries (18g each) 2S AUW is 52 grams.

I H8-battled a flock of geese for turf, then went for a quick dip... and somehow survived to flip and roll another day. I wasn't able to stop all the shoreline poopin'... but the brunt of it was at least mitigated to some extent. They'll be back... and H8'll be there. He's airing out along with my socks and pants. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUyx1_6cHjg

BTFL 4.1.2, 16.77 48kHz w/ (JazzMaverick) Telemetry & RPM Filtering enabled: O_H_5_48_REV16_77.HEX This is a semi-tuned maiden, unfortunately in 30kph gusts of wind at -12°C. It's very floaty, with no options for increasing braking power afaik. The 48kHz might have something to do with it, but I'd rather have the efficiency and fly around the tendency to fluff down on these giant parachute props. @1:05 Both the ESC's and the FPV AIO crash at ~2.5Volts... this could present an issue that may necessitate actually using timers on the Taranny. It happened in flight @5:50 to just the back motors on a very gentle blip of throttle to arrest some of the forward momentum I carried out of a descent. They wouldn't reboot without pulling the battery. Direct-soldering was a nightmare, the additional 24x solder joints on the arm LED's involving 28AWG wire was simply a dumb idea; not worth it. I've got a lot of tweaking and finalization to do before I'll be comfortable flying this, but it's off to a really good start. You can punch it full-throttle and it barely gets louder. This thing is made for guerilla night flying!
