GIVEAWAY: CMW Smooth Operator(s)
🕑 Added 2019-06-06 17:22:30 +0000 UTCCan you tell I'm cleaning out my closet???? LOL. I'm giving away two CMW Smooth Operator builds. Sort of.
The catch is that neither of these is actually fully flying. LOL. The one on the right is my main Operator, but it needs a new ESC (I'm including one) and possibly a new FC (not included).
The one on the left is a parts-quad with a few frame pieces missing. The motors are good. The FC and ESC are good, but are different than in the "main" quad.
I typically don't like doing giveaways of non-working gear, but I think that some people will be pretty happy to win these quads, if only for the parts. There is like $200 in motors alone! If you win, my recommendation is, replace the ESC (and maybe the FC) on the right-hand quad and it will be top-notch. Keep the left-hand one for spares, and put the left-hand one's FC and ESC in some other quad.
I strongly recommend you keep the exact same FC and ESC in the right-hand one. Pay careful attention to the EXACT wiring of the JBF4, and copy the config off it to the new one, as there are some hijinks with the wiring and resource assignment to get everything working. There is a RealPit on the vTX so you will need to set up a User Mode to get the vTX to turn on (it's not broken).
Leave ONE COMMENT below as your entry. Cutoff for drawing entries is midnight 6/10/2019. Winner will be posted here and notified via direct message on Patreon.

I actually enjoy working on quads. It's my therapy. But I don't have any cameras that fit in those mounts. Maybe throw a couple in for me? :)
