New 3D printed parts!


A coworker of mine, who has his own 3D printer, was nice enough to print some parts for me in black ABS. 

He printed a bumper scoop, landing feet, and a PDB dust shield for my Vortex, and some camera mounts for my Tiny Whoops :)

Now I'm thinking of getting my own 3D printer!  I found a nice RTP model for about $1K. I might be picking this up very soon!  Lol!

New goggle receiver and antennas!


I picked up a Furious FPV TrueD v2.0 diversity receiver, VAS Madmushroom/Airscrew CP antennas, and TrueRC X-Air patch antenna, for my Fatshark Dominator HD3 FPV goggles!

Liking this combo so far!  I need a 45deg SMA adapter though. Lol!


GoPro Hero 960 mounted!


I managed to mount my old GoPro 960 camera on my Vortex!  Now I should be able to get some HD video during my flights!  I test hovered it and I can barely feel the extra weight while flying around :). So much power my Vortex has!  Lol!

UMMAGAWD Vortex 250 Pro- Still learning to fly this thing!

My brother recorded me test flying my UMMAGAWD Vortex 250 Pro at the park near his place.  I'm still trying to get used to how it handles.





I also have the same flight as recorded by my Fatshark HD3 goggles DVR!  It's interesting to compare how the flight looks via FPV vs 3RDPV.

FPV racing quad addict!

Got my Ummagawd Edition Vortex 250 Pro!  Installed the Spektrum Quad Serial Racing receiver.  I also had to install longer battery straps for my Tattu 4S 95C 1550mah batteries. 

I also had to put some rubber feet on the bottom for the frame to sit on while on the ground so I wouldn't wear down the titanium screw heads.  Maybe later I'll print up some parts to protect the flight camera, some landing gear, and a GoPro Session mount. 

I got to quickly test hover it and omg! The power is so addicting!

Gone to the darkside!

I've gone to the darkside!  I just bought a 250 size racing quad!


I picked up the Vortex 250 Pro, UMMAGAWD Edition!  This thing is all decked out!  Upgraded motors, CCD flight camera, titanium screw kit, carrying case, extra 4 blade props!

Hopefully its delivered before Christmas!
