Rather, how high off the ground you wohld have to be to be out of earshot. That sounds a little better
Drones maybe?
I saw mention of the DJI Mavic drones. Those are pretty quiet but theyre cell phone controlled and have GPS on them
And if they're not the mini they have to be FAA registered. Racing drones are much louder but arent limited by FAA regulations. No gps/tracking on most units and theyre DIY. Downfall is theyre much harder to control and the AV hardware is lacking unless youre paying big bucks
Also leave you pretty defenseless unless you have a team
Because they have large video receiver that you wear on your face
Would it be possible to take one of the racing ones that don’t have to be regulated and put quieter motors on them?
Im sure they sell quieter motors But im not positive on performance and whatnot
I’ve played around with some friends cheaper ones just fucking around in the back yard with them, but have absolutely zero expertise with the bigger ones
The racing ones can also be fucking FAST
I keep like there are certain situations that the speed could come in handy, but the noise would be a dead giveaway and leave someone a sitting duck
And unfortunately theyre not cheap enough to just have a pile of
Strap a thermal camera to drone
FLIR medium range cameras aren’t that expensive...that could work
When SHTF we won’t be worried about FAA we can buy used ones that have been pre reg or from pre registration nera
I just got my ass whipped by a shitty header on a dodge truck
Ha loser
Correct
i wonder if computing counts as mechanics here lol
Did 7 years in Ford dealerships, glad to be out
mmm i suppose programming, networking, automation, websites
hardware recommendations idk
im fairly well rounded on the software side
@Garet in your opinion what is the next step for servers/communities like this in becoming independent of larger companies and networks
well if i had the resources i would say you'd really want more of a blockchain-style messaging system with the ability for groups to set their own permissions and level of discoverability. combine that with an easy way for barely-computer-literate folks to mirror a community site. kinda like how thepiratebay keeps itself up with tons of mirrors of the same data
though you could get fancier
Wow. That’s very mechanical
All software requires proper hardware. Ham Radio has progressed significantly over the years and could probably support local servers via CHIRP. Private encrypted LAN servers running linux could also support local supply chains or people networks with digital communications and intel.
@Shane_NA6 - Haven't hovered in years but I have 105 hours in a training helo, Robinson R-22.
Good shit
It's been a long goddamn day
@yeetasaurus drink that pain away bub
Bacardi and Crown are both tempting
Bacardi
Although I don't feel like mixing a drink currently
Sup everyone. Racecar building/engine assembly/welder and hopefully soon to be roll cage builder. Way things are going it looks like it’ll be more armor than roll cages but 🤷🏼♂️
Good shit. Glad to have you with us
Back to drones for a min. Def stay away from DJI. They control where you fly and track everything. Ready made rc sells everything you need to roll your own. Also check out tiny woop. They fit in the palm of your hand and have a camera that transmits to a video receiver. Also it’s not the motors that are noisy it’s the props. DJI props are about as quiet as you can get but still sound like bees. There are some pretty cheap bad ass planes that have long range and good cameras and can glide pretty far. Rmrc sells all that
The other big companies are FPV and surprisingly Amazon sells a ton for decently cheap
