/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Well, that's about all I needed to know to get underway, appreciate the concise answer man. I have since taken the thing to my local hobby house and confirmed it works, so I'm happy to drop some coin on it.

>>1180692 is the controller in question, I have since had it open and it does have an internal 5 pin programming header, feeding an STM8S003 uC. It also has a discreet transmitter daughterboard, which I could swap with a 5.8GHz unit I'd guess. But again, this thing is chintzy as fuck, and I wouldn't trust it with anything more than the 5 minute flyer it came with. Devo F7 + Deviation seems like a much more flexible and future proof option, thanks again for the protip mang.

Ahh, I see, same reason the pitch of aircraft propellers change as you travel down the blade, you sacrifice torque for circumference, meaning the blades need to present less air resistance at their tips or there will be too much load on the engine. A wider pulley will require more torque to drive, which becomes an issue if the machine binds as well I'd imagine.

No, my autism appreciates and endorses your information, practically it is of little consequence at this scale as you say, but I do have grander ideas in mind (banner size printing) and the theory will inform me down the line, as it will anyone else who reads these posts.

Again, thanks for taking the time anon.
