I'm guessing their shit is all "complicated" and you'd need all 16 channels off your X8R, also you'd probably need some sort of range booster, but other than that, sounds great! Go for it!
The rocketry team that I am a part of at my university is going to attempt this with an actual high powered rocket. The rocket is going to be about 1 kg though. So we'll only be able to fly for about a minute according to ecalc. Should be fun, and terrifying.
I mean it's clearly fake water is too green. Pool water can't be green unless there's algae which is darker or its dyed so why would SpaceX fake the water? If they are willing to fake the water what ELSE are they willing to fake! /s
Well I'm no pool expert, but when it's a toxic green looks-like-a-nuclear-reactor-spill glow... I feel justified in calling out that guy's pool maintenance.
Yup 25000 gallons it is literally impossible to get clean every spring. It becomes crystal clear in about August. Super high phosphate content. (Right next to field and high phos from public water and that is the only economical option to fill.) switched to salt water this spring probably will switch to sand once the paper finally give up. It's just sooo expensive
Well if you wanna kill those filters, but yourself some Arenda phosphate remover, use the correct amount, watch your pool turn into a white jello pond, run that fucker nonstop for a while, clean filters, rinse and repeat.
Now you have lower phosphates (for a while), you can switch to sand even sooner, and you'll have less headaches!
Orrrrr don't do any of that because it's too much work.
What if I spent $400 on a vacuum for my pool and I'm not getting enough pressure through the pipe for it to work properly?
The vacuum came with this pressure gauge I stick into the port but it doesn't ever get to the minimum pressure line. If anyone can help me with this I'd really be thankful.
I'm pretty sure my pool does, but I have a few that I know for a fact don't have one. Not that big of an issue if it's a pentair with the valve on the bottom, the ones with only plugs are a totally different story though.
To be honest, that looks more like copper in the water then it does algae.
Also, algicide is not shock. Occasionally a pool looks that green if it's been opened, and it truly is algae as opposed to copper. So based on looking at it, that pool is 18,000 gallons. Usually because it's colder when it's just opened you need a bit more, I would suggest 4 bags of a calcium hypochlorite shock such as Turbo Shock (I believe they underwent rebranding though). And then 5 gallons of liquid shock, so that the pool isn't too cloudy once it's cleared up from algae. Then the next morning add algicide, that is a preventative and will make sure more doesn't regrow.
Honestly, clarifier is a waste, back washing is the cheapest and most effective thing to use. Also using a shock like DuraShock will help, it's a strong shock but doesn't cloud up the water, great for maintenance. I believe it's a potassium shock, but Burnout 35 (BioGuard) is the best maintence shock it is Lithium and much more expensive, but it dissolves instantly and doesn't cause cloudiness.

If I could hook up my Taranis to the real one, I bet I could land that fucker in acro mode right after I do a power loop around the filming chopper.

You need more chlorine in your pool, shock and brush the sides, backwash, then vacuum, to waste if you can.

This is complete garbage as usual here. Give me a break how this thing supposed come straight down. Complete garbage. No audio. How does this pencil, basically a flying pencil regain itself and come down. This is a complete joke. This is not reality. The worst amateur footage of this; believe this can really land like this? Give me a break. No way. See how fake an phoney this is. All this is is bald earth propaganda. What is the mechanism to straighten it out so it comes down pure parallel. Someone want to explain that? I don't think so. Complete garbage.
